Soma is not as messed up as i thought he would be. Good.

Liked it

Upsides:

  • Hattie's realization on how much she lost was pretty strong and touching.
  • EX-1 is clearly showing an intellectual ability (i.e, remembering who is friend versus who is foe), rather than being a simple auto-mechanic creature.
  • Walton didn't die, thanks God.
  • It was nice of Lt. Sue to point out that Hattie's not a machine. It gives dimension to the character.


Downsides:

  • I didn't like the way Hattie's memories was executed. I found the technique sloppy.


This was a pretty touching episode. I do hope that this episode events will have an impact on Hattie's personality. I'm still unsure if I like Soma or not.

Some protagonists these military douchebags are. Kidnap a kid and her alien friend and imprison them while gaslighting her into thinking they're the only way she'll be "safe" (i.e. a pawn), and then chase after them and shoot her dog when she tries to escape. Takuto even has the nerve to lecture her after, as if she's the one who needs to change her ways.
