Why’s she gotta be so goddamn fuckable?
This episode was probably my favorite after the first episode. I could watch more episodes just like this as we grow to understand who these characters are and what they’re up to.
I understand the feedback of the show being slow, because we should have already had this scene and many like it. But I do think the build up is important. Really what it means is I want more episodes. But I’m still happy with what we have.
I 'unno. She was alright, certainly not bad. But she didn’t particularly stand out to me in terms of technical acting.
Carol’s certainly been selling it though, and she has to. She’s got so much screen-time and everything really is about “her” ultimately. (Not to sell Manousos short, mind you.)
Rhea’s playing Carol pretty spot-on, a 1:1 fish out of water in a new, yet familiar world.
Meanwhile Karolina’s Zosia is a 1:many role, and the fact that it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb, is a testament to her pulling off the role well.

See, I’m not sure about that. Shouldn’t she be acting a bit strange?
I do get what you’re saying, she’s not doing it poorly which would stick out in a wholly different way. But it feels bland whereas it could be… I dunno, something more. I think the closest we’ve got to what I’m trying to describe is the we/I pronoun thing. There ought to be some janky mannerisms to her, no?
I think the strangeness is subtly there, but in a manner that seems to suit the character and situation, rather than strangeness in an actor struggling to embody such a character.
I agree the I/we pronoun jankiness was largely glanced over due to the time skip, but the zone-out and twitch right before the “You’re going to have a visitor” line was pretty damned well pulled off.
I thought Carol maybe figured out a way to get the person back for a second by making Them focus on their hosts originality.
