Well, that was disappointing.
What was the highlight of this episode?
Either Mallory swearing at a potential candidate or Dr. Chan doing a K-pop dance, probably.
Even when this show works, its a little thin in terms of character.
Thats not the case here.
From the beginning, the writing here is just flat.
Anyway, back to the quest to fill a team to go to the moon by the weekend.
The bulk of Conjugal Visit consists of Mark and Maggie Naird discussing the state of their marriage.
Shes going to be behind bars for 40 years, and she wants both of them to be happy.
At least Chan and Ali get to have some fun.
Diana Silvers is talented, but this never should have gotten past the writers room.
Its all awkward and simplistic stuff.
Being able to work out on the right side of the fence makes her realize her freedom.
Find something to do with Erin, writers ofSpace Force,that doesnt make her seem so childish.
Maybe she could go to the moon!
Launch Codes
Naird describes his job as Rockets go up, rockets go down.
I could feel his pain this episode at the mundanity of it all.
Of course Tony is an Alabama fan.
Hes probably a Yankees and Patriots fan too.
Hes the kind of guy who roots for whoever is winning the most.
This is such a good example of older writers trying to put thoughts into a teenager.
Is Erin really that selfish?
Even April would be happy mom wasnt miserable.
The pacing here is just deadly.
By segmenting into four plots, they completely lose the rhythm.
Comedy is all about timing, and its off here from minute one to credits.
And I was reminded about that tonal uncanny valley in which this show exists.
Pick a lane,Space Force, or people are going to pick another show.
