"let's talk about that awesome Pella set" "yeah... actually naw let's talk about THAT LADDER THO"

Pella ain't getting enough love and appreciation! That set is amazing.

I thought that was funny. Wes had to jump in on that ... talent doing talent things shrug

I'm pretty sure so would Holden, if he knew about the size of that coffee machine.

Filip really looks a lot like his mother I'm shocked

He looks A LOT like Marco.

He looks a lot like both of them which is a genius move on the casting side. You'd really think he was their child.

Which is more a coincidence, as they discuss in the episode. He was the one with the best performance, and he just happened to look the most like he could have been their child

Do you really expect them to say "he sorta tanked the audition but he's a dead ringer for the job?"

Of course they're gonna say he was the best and that's why they picked him.

I remember seeing him first time season 4, and I was like, holy shit did they craft this guy themselves?

Naomi looks like shell of her former self this season-but she looks a lot like filip as a result.

She nearly died on that planet, had to go back up the well. And she's on hunger strike.

Major kudos to Jasai-Chase Owens, it must have been a really difficult task and he handled it with such a consummate skill. I guess his theatre background helped a lot, too. There was no faltering, no settling into the character, he just went a did it. Great interview.

He looks so much like an actual DNA combo of Marco and Naomi that I'm sometimes suspicious they're using CGI to make him look that way.

Wes Chathom is a gem.

One of the cool things they talked about was their read throughs. The cast will get together Sunday afternoon or evenings before filming and go through the script, figuring out motivations, emotions, etc. The director commented that it’s not the norm and normally that stuff is figured out on set.

Really demonstrates the professionalism of the cast. Taking personal time to prep is a big reason why this show is believable and well done.

Honestly I don't care that it is released weekly, although it's kind of annoying.

But I'm pretty disappointed in season 5 so far. Seems like it's all filler for just one or two scenes of intense action, cgi, and polish.

Are you watching the same show as the rest of us? They are paying off things that the show has been setting up since Season 1
