Sure it’s necessary. It gives her range. Maybe all the top level soldiers can do it with their hands or maybe they all can period… but she has the ability to do it with range. It shows that there exists metal that can cut them rather easily… at least in their hands.

It’s not just Mark’s journey that is depressing. I know he’ll get back up. I don’t need to read the comic to know that. He has Main Character Immunity. Everybody else that suffers and dies along the way are all just meat for the grinder and the show hasn’t brought anything to the table this season for me to find that entertaining or impactful.

What resistance would there be though. These guys are unstoppable.

I took that as he was far enough away from the event horizon to save the ship. He was about to kill himself by going in.

That lady has a blade in her hair that can cut them. So they can all go buy special Ginsutrimite knives to carry around and do the same.

That’s all it has been. I’m losing interest in the whole show because of it. There’s no wins, no redeeming qualities, just heartache after heartache and brutal beatings.

The pain Eve ND Mark’s mom have to endure really brings me down to the point that the rest of the episode is hard to enjoy. I really need them to catch a win somehow.
