The penultimate episode can only be described as putting in the effort but getting a wobbly result.

Brazils excessive plot and action oscillation yield tonal shifts that range from sometimes thrilling to queasiness inducing.

Lets start with the good.

There may even be methanogenic bacteria at the planets poles.

I never saw that one coming, and its nice to see once again how well Mars suits Dev.

Ed, too, is starting to remember how much he needs human connection.

Men really will grumpily hole up on Mars for decades rather than go to therapy.

One set is the two overlapping sleuthing missions by Dani and Lees colleague, Commander Cho.

Dani summarizes her investigation results with Eli in a vidmail: The problem goes much further than the feed-splitter.

Their minds immediately turn to sabotage.

His commitment to protecting Rangers crew is both correct and admirable.

The so-called anarchists havent actually resorted to violence at all yet.

Unbeknownst to anyone else, Dani does as ordered, activating the CIA and KGB assets at Happy Valley.

Miless interview with Bishop and Avilov is a failure.

Thinking they just want to scare him and to buy time for the heist-doers, Miles stonewalls.

This character is integral to the asteroid heist but has often been kind of dull.

What would he even do with the stuff?

He is but a small-time, humble importer of underwear and mouthwash!

We dont know them!

Theyd have protection from their former homelands and could be instrumental in elevating Brazils space-exploration program.

This scene starts out cute aw, Margo and Sergei are both eating burgers in their respective hotel rooms!

Shes listening to theDuke Ellington CDhe gave her!

They have hope for the future!

This is not a murder; its an assassination.

My money is onThe Original Series,Next Generation, andDeep Space 9.

Two unrelated circles I cannot square: Sergeis wife and the telltale splitter barcode.

As Brazil unfolds, we learn that Sergei has been in Houston for a month.

What does his wife now know about his identity and whereabouts?

As for the barcode, how did Miles not remove the barcode on the splitter before placing it?

Make it make sense!
