The Real Monsters Episode

The Real Monsters

Since nobody else has mentioned the obvious Peter Pan shaped elephant in the room - as if the first episode title wasn't a big enough clue - here it is:
Boy Kavalier: Peter Pan
Wendy: Wendy Darling
Joe: John or Michael Darling? not sure which
Kumi: Hook - complete with an artificial hand
Smee: Smee - Hook's first mate
Slightly, Curly, Nibs: Lost boys, same as in Peter Pan
Kirsh: I dunno, Tick Tock? Although the Alien itself is a contender for this one
Tinker Bell: ? - maybe she'll show up in season 2, unless she's the Eye alien or something
I'm sure there are more. Maybe some of the bad writing that has been commented on previously was to hammer the Alien franchise into this other Disney franchise. When corporate branding gets involved, all bets about story integrity are off. It still looks good, so I'll stick around a bit longer to see where it goes.
 

La Chica o El Mundo Episode

La Chica o El Mundo

I didn't really get  ̶K̶a̶r̶e̶n̶  Carol, or even like her for the first 4 or 5 episodes. I found her miserable and selfish, and wanting everyone else to be miserable too. But over time, I grew to appreciate the central ethical issue of this show - is it OK to force something on others against their will, if you truly believe it will make their life better? This is the basic moral dilemma that both Carol and the Weirdos™ will need to come to terms with at some point. At the very least, this show opens up a sometimes uncomfortable discussion about cults, evangelical religion, conformity and social responsibility versus free will, and what price we are willing to pay to save the planet. Looking forward to season 2.

We Is Us Episode

We Is Us

The title of this show is actually "PLUR1BUS". I saw it as a clever nod to what the show is actually about. TVDB gets it right. Everyone else - including TVMaze, and Apple TV, who air it - insist on spelling it "PLURIBUS". I wonder what Vince Gilligan thinks of that? Do we all just go along with what the group mind has decided?

I just noticed Basement  ̶M̶i̶l̶t̶o̶n̶ Dalton has a red stapler.
