    Well, Serika was also responsible for the cooking and food management before...

    Although I agree with your comments, even more if we think "American society 10 years from now", I just decided to forget that part and focus on what was nice for once.

    Yeah. We haven't seen the "dreadful" vision Amanti saw yet either. I wonder if/when that second backup rover will come in, since the current one isn't destroyed. I doubt chancing tires and programming counted. Maybe it'll rain 2 days before and Mutta will have to build an extension-type wheel in 2 days?

    The look on Vince's face after Mutta says he'll crash his date was pretty funny.

    HS - Episode 58


    -------------------------------------------









    Rick's dead, and given how he wanted to be a flight director it shouldn't be training related. Probably some random accident. It must really suck for Vince and Pico though.. one of them hasn't been in space and the other one doesn't build spaceships. Does anyone living in a small town have anything to say about the adults' mentality there? Being pragmatic is good, but wait till you've got responsibilities man. Or.. you know, highschool graduation grades. On screen, the three kids look like they're 12-14, but if they're deciding on universities/colleges next episode am I supposed to think of them as 16 year olds?

    Ever since these terribad flashbacks ended, Uchuu Kyoudai got really good again. This episode especially worked so well, because of how Vince and Pico were introduced to us. Intense stuff, damn.

    About the sponge tires: Canīt you just a) use spongle material that doesnīt absorb water, or b) apply some sort of spray that makes the sponge hydrophobe? Just because itīs sponge doesnīt mean it sucks in all water.

    Agreed that this episode was good.

    Even if you make it hydrophobic though, would wet mud bog it down? How about the grip factor?

    HS - Episode 60


    -----------------------------------------











    Quite a satisfying ending there. I was under the impression that silicon flexes, but doesn't contract much like that, but whatever.

    The best parts of Space Brothers is the teamwork and competition type of episodes, which means next week is back to snail-pace wait-for-event-to-unfold again.

    Ha, so they did what I proposed. Yay. Though I feared that sealing stuff would somehow act like glue and become so hard that the sponge canīt expand any longer. Guess not.

    Donīt know how to feel about that LEGO-figure. Itīs cute, but letīs be real here: This is important stuff, and even if the chance is miniscule ... IF that figure somehow caused the whole thing to fail, damn.

    Well, I was wrong. That was a pretty impressive re-entry. I've only ever seen them depicted as a module going red and heating up, but it was pretty visually intensive here. Nicely done. It also didn't take 2.5 episodes. (maybe next week.)

    Amanti's news though... suggests someone's going to die.. someone like Sharron.

    I was a little surprised they seemed to have telemetry during the high temperature entry phase.
    Maybe my knowledge is old, but I thought that during that phase there's so much interference that no signal can pass the firewall and the stations have to wait for the module to get to slower speeds before they get a signal again.

    Pacing hell indeed.
    Damn, itīs bad enough that they werenīt subtle at all who "ano hito" would be, but now theyīre spanning it over at least 2 episodes. ugh

    Also, Amanti is just some true freak bitch. Who in their right mind would tell a friend "someone you know is gonna become really ill", because he/she is THAT serious about premonitions? Feels like Im watching a full-on fantasy-anime.

    I think the stress is building up on her, such that she thought it would be better for someone to know about it as if they could prevent it. Also, they're people of science so hopefully they're not of the "I can't be wrong" mentality. There's also the possibility that Mutta would get angry at Amanti for not telling him, which may have prevented this (not really, but still). Then there's the "right to know" argument.

    In short, I don't blame Amanti even if it's counter-intuitive. Perhaps she should have asked Mutta if he wants to know what she saw, but that's about it.

    As for the pacing, I didn't mind it. The scenes were emotionally charged (be it Sharon's vision, Amanti's reveal) so I felt like watching (as opposed to fast-forwarding). I didn't realise astronats would feel so tired after coming down, just the osteoporosis part. Hibito shouldn't have been able to throw the rock like he did then. Fatigue + strength/trajectory judgement would have been so off. That's not to mention that a rock would be super-sharp without an atmosphere to buffer it with. I thought they mentioned that one time when they talked about the moondust.

    Regarding Sharon being the one to have a severe illness, I'm a little surprised Amanti didn't include Serika in the pained people.
    Of course, she's not as close has the Nambas to Sharon, but the way she idolizes Sharon should at least have her bear some sadness.
    It even seems to me like the symptoms she shows leads to the same illness Serika's father died from (but my memory could be wrong).
    Now, it's quite possible the pain Hibito and Mutta is so vastly superior to Serika's, that Amanti can't see it.

    On another note, when they were running, I thought Amanti was seeing Mutta's and Serika's wedding

    I didn't like that she mentioned Hibito. It makes it sound like she reads people from a distance, which would pose the question of asking who she chooses to read on passing - including the Serika question you asked. I dare say she sees significant life events (as you suggested) as opposed to what their next meal is.

    Did Serika's dad have Huntington's or something?

    I remember Serika's dad dying from a muscular disease, he eventually lost all muscle movement, even muscles for his lungs...
    It was her reason for being a doctor and willing to fly the international space station around earth to conduct medical experiments that might help searching cures for such illnesses.

    Now, Sharon not being able to securely hold her phone might not be for the same reason.
