I like all the actors. I've see them all before in other shows. But what were the writers thinking or smoking? This is the worst written show I've ever watched. I blame the writers. I can't believe they were able to sign up all these actors. Was the script not written yet when they were signed on, and the actors were just pitched an idea of the show?

WTF did I just watch?

1. The space walk to save her was ridiculous and went on way too long. They all should be dead. Loss of pressure in space is not like crying over a deflated football. It's death. But somehow, they're all just fine.

2. And don't get me started on the rubber chicken that exploded out of the hatch and flopped around.

3. Why did ML enter Eve's sleeping quarters while drunk, pin his arms on her bed, and demand a thank you, and then tell her he likes her (which in Korean shows means falling in love, not just "You're nice")? Talk about not asking for consent! He entered a female's and the commander's bedroom, while she was in bed, without asking for permission. Honestly, this is a huge red flag whether in space or on Earth.

More checking my brain at the coat check, episode 4:

I know what you mean. But I'm on the fence about this drama. I'd rather it be a bit more of a comedy since they're getting all the science wrong. I want to root for this show but the writing is so bad.

1. How did they let that fruit go up to space with fruit flies in it? That fruit should have been thoroughly washed and irradiated or something to prevent sending contamination up to space.

2. Plus, how were there only TWO fruit flies. When I bring home fruit which hatches fruit flies, there are LOTS of flies.

3. Kang has been on the space station for a year studying the mating habits of fruit flies, right? The life cycle of the fruit fly is 40-50 days under good circumstances, so whatever fruit flies went up with him have been dead for months if they didn't mate, and he wouldn't have had any new ones unless they flew more flies AND FRUIT for them to lay their eggs in, up to him, which does not seem to be very often.

4. Eve said, " Inconceivable is about to give birth!" ML said, "PUSH little fruit fly!" NOOOOOO, fruit flies lay 400 eggs on fruit. There's no fruit in that test tube. Then the larvae hatch in 2-3 days and eat the fruit. They molt a few times. Then they go to a drier place to pupate. Then they hatch out as 400 fruit flies. If they show that tiny test tube again with 3 or 4 adult fruit flies in it, I'm done.

5. Also, I keep calling the flies Pubic and Inconceivable, because I can't remember that ML called them Public and Indecency. I like my names better.

6. I get that this show is bonkers and supposed to be a bit funny, but get the science somewhat right. The show isn't funny enough to actually be a comedy.

7. So both spacesuits have a leak? Eve should be dead already. Those are pressurized suits. A rip that big in her glove and boom, your blood boils and you're dead from the bends and asphyxiation. It's going to take minutes to get her back into the space station, and I bet ML operates on her and saves her, and she has zero brain damage or physical damage.

8. And why is everyone acting like the Space Tourist had NO training on anything. He would have gone through months of training before they sent him up. It's not like he was on standby for a commercial airline flight.

Thanks!!!!!

Thank you! That was hilarious.

I still don't get commander Eve bringing a gun on board the spaceship. First, letting it float around the capsule. And then pulling the gun on the ML. Is she really going to fire that gun on the space station? What if she misses him or the bullet goes through him? One hole in the space station walls and all pressure is lost causing the bends, plus loss of oxygen. AND, if she does fire the gun, she's floating, so she'll be propelled backwards into the wall behind her at the speed of the bullet, probably knocking her out and injuring her. Wouldn't a taser have worked better if she wants to take someone out at close range on a space station? Obviously Chekov's Gun is going to be a big plot point later, but it's stupid.

Then the bringing "her last eggs" up in the ice cream container. I thought it was the husband who had the fertility problem, not the wife, Surely she has more eggs. Where are the husband's defective sperm anyway, since her husband is DEAD? Were they sent up earlier? Why weren't they both sent up together? None of this makes a lick of sense.

And weren't there supposed to be 80 mice on the space station? Isn't that what a news announcer said? Surely that wasn't the ONLY male mouse they sent up to space. And why wouldn't they send up the mate? And Eve got way too huggy after saving the mouse.

Brain check. I have my ticket. I'd like my brain back now, please.

This is definitely a "check your brain at the coat check" before you watch this show. I'm enjoying all the bonkers comedy, but damn this show is dumb.

Episode 1 and 2 thoughts:

People are taking this show way too seriously. It's a weirdo comedy, and I'm kinda enjoying it. I'm here for all the cheating shenanigans that are about to happen.

Ectoptic pregnancies happen all the time with regular couples. The doctor in the show probably had to remove or cauterize her fallopian tube to remove the embryo that was growing outside the womb. I can't remember the details, but there was a problem on her other side, too. That's why she's now sterile. Although she could always do IVF or hire a surrogate, so I don't understand what the deal is with her being totally sterile.

It depends on the couple. Sometimes the wife doesn't have eggs or a uterus due to cancer or some other disease, and she needs someone else to carry the baby. Sometimes the woman doesn't want to be pregnant because of other medical or work reasons. Sometimes it's a gay couple and 2 men need a woman to carry the baby, or 2 woman who need a sperm donor. There are many other reasons a surrogate is used. And sometimes both the egg and the sperm can be from people other than the original couple or the baby carrier.

Especially when her toes looked like a trussed up turkey for Thanksgiving after he finished sewing them up. Yuck.

Ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo is NOT in the uterus. It's an abnormal pregnancy. Both the mother and baby will often die long before the baby ever comes to term if the embryo is not removed / aborted. Show characters think "abortion" and think it's a bad thing, when it's necessary medical care in this case.

Surrogacy is when a woman's uterus is implanted with another couple's embryo. It's a legal agreement to carry another person's baby for them.

Two completely different things.

Nah, he looks 16 to me. But I'm 65. Everyone under 50 looks 16 to me. But damn, that man looks good in a suit.

Watched the first episode. Not what I expected. Quirky and funny. Lot's of "OH, it's that guy from that thing."

It's the first time I've seen Oh Jung Se play sexy. And Kim Joo Heon always gives me Robert Downey, Jr. vibes. Lee El always stands out. I feel like she should have a bigger part than what they give her.

"As I enter my 40s . . ."

WHAT?

Nah, if we had to suffer, so do you. ;) So much stuff went completely off the rails, that I'm not even sure I remember what happened. I was really enjoying the show until the last episode, and then it just quit being the same show. It was like it was suddenly written by somebody else.

I know. Me, too.
