Oksana is Drummer’s partner name. Michio is the young woman in Drummer’s family. Karal is Marco’s family and watching Drummer group. Drummer is in a polyamorous family. Kind of like Holden’s family on earth.
look, i really like james, i do, but naomi and drummer would be just incredible as a couple, don't blame me for shipping 😂 no, but seriously, poor drummer is in a really tough situation "entre la espada y la pared" as we would say in spain. both options would make people who she cares about suffer.
Drummer is constantly making great decisions in hard situations that generally bite her in the ass. I love her and feel so bad for her. Oksana is deeply unlikeable but the urge to protect the people you care about at the cost of going along with something awful is eminently relatable, especially when it seems like that awful thing is so much bigger than you that it seems insurmountable. I think it’s much harder to make the choice to “do the right thing” and risk your lives and the lives of those that you love than it might seem from the comfort of a couch. I definitely hated Oksana on first viewing too but the reality is that everyone in Camina’s crew, and by extension, every Belter who got completely fucked by Marco’s attack, was placed between a rock and a hard place and it becomes very difficult to make choices that further endanger your life, especially when those choices clash with the reality that Earth has actively made Belter lives worse for generations.
If you get a chance to rewatch the gun battle scene, you might notice it's one continuous shot. There was some interesting discussion on "Ty and That Guy" about how they filmed it...and the temperature was about -20℃! Of course, the director was Breck Eisner. who did a couple of amazing scenes in the next episode (S5.E10). Looking ahead to S6 (not a spoiler), be aware there are some bonus scenes under the "X-Ray" attached to each episode (at least E1-E5). They are not integral to the plot, but you should definitely check them out and react to them
Lola if you're in a position of power, and you have a responsibility to represent billions of people, you really have to surround yourself with people of various backgrounds, opinions and especially also with people who you know, and have differing opinions than yourself, so as to get a more complete view of each situation. In the end she will be the one making the decisions but she needs to keep in mind, all sides of the argument. So it is important for her to include people like that.
Agreed. When Abraham Lincoln. one of the greatest U.S. Presidents, was elected to office, he selected many of his opponents for his cabinet so he could hear their viewpoints.
Mashallah I thought you fell asleep while it was exporting 🥸
