I believe that Lakota also doesn't distinguish between green and blue.

Oh well.

I'm hoping that they ease up on the father-son dynamics in future episodes.

My hopes for the show got a lot higher when I saw that sign.

I always thought the last issue of Planetary, in which countless iterations of the main characters appear from different points in time, was a bit of a wink and a nod at this kind of thing. Not to mention the multiple Batmans (Batmen? Batsmen?) issue, where the Planetary team keeps encountering different versions of…

+everything.

Oh, that's easy. He went into that room and... well... then he found number one? I think? Then there was that bit with the rocket and the butler and... ah hell, I have no clue.

I can see the figurative relationship, in the sense that their three-part structure and terseness is reminiscent of haiku. The headline is slightly misleading, I guess.

That is one stubbly sandwich.

I haven't read the books, so I think that Shae's words only seem clumsy if you know what's coming. To my ears, it just sounded like they were building her character.

I'm writing this comment in honour of Jasmine!

I'm half in agreement with you on this one. The episode was full of logistics and movement from room to room, which kept me from connecting with the various characters. Plus I thought the performances were a bit strange - the Jennifer character went too quickly from confused and angry Ganger to nasty schemer to…

I was just thinking the same thing. Canadian Smarties are battle-worthy as well.

I came here to rail against these evil bacteria, but I see that io9 commenters are smart, sensible people.

Holy crap, it's the Damon and Stephan Salvatore of outer space.

"... a world that happens to be made entirely of candy where there are huge battles going on. We are going for real comedy, real action, and real emotions at stake."

I'm in the middle of the third book right now. It feels gratuitously grim.

If Lawrence stays close to the kind of character she played in Winter's Bone, I think we're going to be just fine. But that outfit doesn't evoke the world of Hunger Games for me at all, even though it has a few requisite touches - the bow and arrows, the orange piping, and the mockingjay pin.
