Liked Episode 3, but I'm prett much where Snarf Zagyg is ... I hope it turns out as good as it could be.
Not a fan of that lung/tadpole thing at the very end. This seems to be an extremely arbitrary experiment to make.

An unrelated thought: I hope they keep away from five-minute gestation time. I hated this in every movie it came up in. Even Romulus dropped the ball on this.

Why, while they were still on the crash site, did Kavalier ask Kirsh where Wendy was? Couldn't he check through her eyes?

I suspect trillionaires are used to having everyone do everything for them at all times.

Be glad we're not seeing Boy Kavalier use the toilet.

Well, there's still five episodes to come ...

The fifth alien is the skibadi toilet. The most horrific thing ever.

Even us mid level managers can be accused of that. When your focused on something its just easier to ask a question than go check on something yourself. The Q&A takes 10 secs, going yourself could take 5-10 minutes. Man probably makes like 100 million a minute...so that is some valuable time!

He's also a bully. We just saw him subtly threatening employees for expressing their opinions. Forcing people to do things for him is an expression of his power over them.

So I would say that this is a bad decision, but great writing. IMO, YMMV, etc.

I understand what the writers are getting at, but I don't believe it - for me great writing doesn't take me out of the story. I think it makes his character cartoonish.

Good to see I'm not the only one viewing this series as the love-child between Alien and Blade Runner.

With some Westworld thrown in.

Legion and Fargo are (IMO) both masterpieces.

Eh, I just watched season 4 of Fargo. It's not good. Otherwise, I agree with you. But I can;t call a series a masterpiece that has that season in it. The first two episodes of this series are promising but there is a lot of style over substance happening.
