Solar Opposites S03 E08 Full Length Reaction

Lol! A hero among us!!!

I'd definitely go down to the lower levels I'm actually really good in extreme situations...everyday real life is what's difficult for me 😁

I honestly appreciate the affirmation 🤣 And WaterStone! okay, got it. I have to go there! :D

I’ve heard the myths and legends of Barnes and Noble and hope I can come see for myself someday! Our bookstore chain here in the UK is called WaterStones! Very much a comfort place, especially the one we have here in Manchester, it has a cute little cafe inside and everything!!✨ Clothes and more specifically clothes shopping is a great thing to love! You gotta wear em anyway so if you enjoy the process too then that’s such a win!! Also it’s your town mate, catered just to you so that’s the coolest/quirkiest answer I could’ve hoped for!:)

That would be super accurate! 😂 One of you guys might have to carry me!😂😂😅 Yeah totally! Not surprising at all that you were a model in the past. Very beautiful young woman!😍👍

“The way they can contrast such grotesque brutality with some of the most ridiculous lighthearted jokes at times” 1000x Yes! Hahaha this contrast really shone through in this episode. I felt so terrible laughing about the townspeople cowering when the Solar Opposites drove back into town, but damnit this show just nails dark humor like that! “The Real Danielle” shirt got me good too 🤣 Hahahaha oh my gosh I’m sitting here laughing about it all over again as I type I absolutely don’t think we’ve seen the last of the Red Goobler. I know we’re all still scarred from his sex scene with Korvo but… I could totally see the writers bringing him back for some sort of arc with Terry. Maybe Korvo and Terry get in a fight and Terry runs off with the Red Goobler this time? …Wait didn’t the Red Goobler give himself a name during the rat wedding episode? Ah, I forget. Gosh this show is too funny. AT LEAST I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE WHO FORGOT ABOUT THE PUPA LOL! I really pride myself on looking out for that lil nugget so I was so mad at myself for not realizing he was gone! …I become more and more of a Terry every day Lmaooo I too think that Platinum Stevie was iconic. And I also agree that thinking about how terrible the wallians’ lives are is super depressing :( I’m so proud of my dweebs 🥺💖 I think every one of you guys said you’d go down to help! Although I also think we all agreed that we might be kind of useless 🤣 At least our hearts are in the right place! 🤣 Jordan comes through swinging again with the good questions! Okay I gotta think on this one… I love wandering through a comic book store as well, even though I was more of a manga reader growing up. Just bookstores in general make me feel so happy. Do you have Barnes and Noble in the UK? Lol I love those stores here- it’s basically just our standard bookstore chain. BUT I think a store that would get me to go in without fail is some sort of clothing or shoe shop 🙈 I wish I had a more cool/quirky answer but I’m such a girly girl when it comes to shopping. I love trying on new clothes and shoes! I think it’s such a confidence booster finding a fresh new fit… although I suppose if I were trapped in the wall my finds would get ruined by the muck pretty quickly 😅

Hahahaha Zulu I am just picturing all of us dweebs down in the muck and we’re all looking around like, “Where’s Zulu?” And the camera pans waaaaay back and we see you on the staircase, hesitating to dip your toe into the muck like it’s your first time in a swimming pool 🤣 And oh my goodness, THANK YOU, wow that’s a very kind compliment. I actually don’t think anyone’s ever told me that and I WILL TAKE IT hahaha! She’s beautiful 🥺

LOL right there with you Dark!

LOL okay now I’m mad I didn’t see that. Definitely a euphemism 🤣 And that’s such a good point. I was thinking about it from a pretty detached standpoint. Like if it was just me in the wall with a bunch of strangers. But if my parents or my sister or A FELLOW DWEEB or someone I really cared about was trapped in the wall with me that would make me more inclined to go down and help. Ah dang it, see I’m not a big Star Wars fan (I totally get the appeal, and have seen all the films, but not recently enough to remember all the references). So I missed all that. But yes I love that this show throws in the most obscure references with absolutely zero explanation 🤣 !!!! Oh my gosh you are spotting tons of stuff I missed in this episode! That’s such a great little detail! I bet whoever designed his costume for this episode was so excited about that little pocket 🥺❤️

:')

In answer to your question, in that situation I probably would volunteer! I don’t imagine I’d have a lot to lose in that situation, unless like Halk you make a strong connection in there and build something new for yourself, I can totally understand him not wanting to go at first. But yeah without any attachment and the opportunity to make that very shitty situation you’re in slightly better? Hell yeah I’d go! Similarly to you though it remains to be seen how much of a help I would be down there😂 Little add on question for you…. If you had a whole town catered entirely to you, what one shop do you think would 100% be there to entice you? I can safely say I’ve never walked past a comic book store without going inside so that would be a good one for me, it’s rare I even read comics anymore but I just love walking around those kinds of stores, there’s always so much nerdy shit to look at its truly amazing😂✨ can’t wait to hear yours, and thank you for another great reaction mate, see ya in the next one!

The way they showed the pupa like right near the end was so hilarious because I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THEM TOO:(( Speaking of the pupa, I wonder if there’s a way the pupa could reach maturity and not terraform? I mean depending how long this show keeps going, HOPEFULLY A HUNDRED YEARS SOLAR OPPOSITES, I wonder how long they’ve got left before it happens? Looking back a couple of episodes though, they did show us what it looks like when a pupa terraforms their planet. I’m thinking they probably would’ve saved that for a big climatic moment later in the show if they were going to? Idk, maybe they’re not really planning that far ahead in the writers room. I mean the show would kinda be over if the whole of earth gets terraformed I guess😂 The wall story was really great here too! I loved seeing the lower levels and just how bad these two replicants have actually destroyed these people’s lives. Seeing all those people resorting to cannibalism down there and otherwise only feeding on deodorant shavings and muck, it’s actually kinda sad to think that not long ago they were full sized people living out their lives, happily. I gotta say Platinum Stevie was kind of iconic, in a really grim, messed up way I guess. I can’t imagine she would’ve had a lot to contribute constructively to the wall’s system of parliament anyways😂 OMG the highlight of the wall parts had to be that freaking Lacoste tattoo, his line delivery of “ITS ALL I KNOW HOW TO DRAW” had me dyingg🤣

This was like THE perfect Solar Opposites episode, omg I just had so much fun watching this one! It really highlighted for me what a beautifully unique show this is! The way they can contrast such grotesque brutality with some of the most ridiculous lighthearted jokes at times, I mean it’s just so genius😂 I’m really glad a show like this is able to exist!✨ I loved trying to figure out what the heck was going on in that town for most of the episode. It added such a strong extra layer to that story, and of course it was way more ridiculous of an answer than I ever could’ve imagined😂 Honestly, I thought we were getting a “Shining” type episode for a sec there when they pulled up to the lodge, it just looked so familiar lol. I especially loved when Danielle got replaced, the new version wore a shirt that said “The real Danielle” on it😂 I also did not expect to see THAT scene with Korvo and the Red Goobler come back into play, boy what an episode that was lol! I wonder if that’s T-ing up another appearance from the red goobler this season? Let’s just pray we don’t get another sex scene, I think I’ve had my fill at this point honestly🤣 I love that Terry and Korvo are treated more as a couple as the show progresses, it’s only funny that there’s no real explanation but it’s actually very sweet🥰

Hey Alycia, great reaction as always friend! 😊 I'd go down the lower levels but like you, I'd probably be more of a liability than an asset. I'm a huge germaphobe so I'd be constantly sanitizing myself if so much as a square inch of smudge makes contact with my skin. I'd totally be more occupied with myself than the safety of the team 😅. The algorithm's scream as it was apparently being executed was both creepy and hilarious at the same time 😂 P.S. you look like Rachel McAdams in this reaction. I'm sure you get that a lot hehe.

I'd go to the lower levels, whether I'd survive or not is a different story.

When you type it like that, it sounds like a euphemism -lol. Normally, I would volunteer to help, but there is something so unknown about the lower levels that I feel like there would be a good chance of running into horrors I couldn't even imagine. But then again, if I had someone there I personally felt the need to protect I would probably be motivated to do whatever I had to do to keep them safe. I loved Terry's X-Wing fighter pajamas. He then references Grand Moff Tarkin's position while at the lodge and later they mention a Lando and Han Solo exhibit. So many Star Wars references with absolutely no Star Wars narrative. This show is so random. One thing that I thought was a nice touch was that Korvo's vacation clothes included a small green pocket square to match the green diamond jewel that's usually on his chest. Only THREE more episodes left!

awesome!
