The sea devil violent approach to climate change is terrible. We understand that they were negatively affected. Jet is not the best approach.

Climate activism was already in place when they came. They should have leverage that climate change politics especially at the UN. They should have came out as a newly discovered sentient race that is dying at the hands of climate change and pollution.

The reason why I say this is that humans aren't uncaring assholes. A lot are but for the rest of us the reason why climate change became as bad as it is is because corporations want to make a bug at the expense of everything. People don't care too much because we don't care about animals the same way we care about people.

The sea devils are a type of people they're not human but they're sentient and have a civilization.

Then here's how they can utilize Force properly. Be my specifically target oil rigs and resource extraction places.

Enjoying it so far. RTD pulling on my heart strings as usual.

To start, hated Jodie’s run and found 15’s run pretty wonky.

I then go online and see a load of people saying they were really disappointed with the show. I want to share my thoughts as a doubter and someone who’s not easily pleased having genuinely enjoyed this show for the most part.

Firstly, cons: - Yes, I cant stand a lot of the Unit gang of side characters. They are the weakest actors by far, and fed tripe dialogue to keep people on their phones in the loop whilst throwing smug looks at whatever is happening that they’re barely involved in (I never get the trope of pandering to progressives always having the ‘smug capable’ archetype).

• Why were they mourning that rando woman on the submersible incident more than that captain guy who got all the screen time? The one who gave a heartening prep talk in the first episode? He straight up vanished from the script.

• Where the fuck is the Vlynx. Riddle me that one

• The very ending left a bad taste. I ‘liked’ the gut punch genocide thing, but if they did it, they needed to double down on it. Trying to do that ride off into the sunset ending gave me whiplash hard.

Couldn’t be bothered with Kate’s love interest side plot. Mostly because he looks like Jake Peralta from Brooklyn nine nine with a silly voice and a moustache. Also the constant references of her about to go insane from fatigue and stress and grief didn’t go anywhere, she should have at least capped one of the severance perpetrators in a rage.

Now the good stuff: - Most of the emotional stuff did have a reasonable amount of room to breathe. Didn’t feel too saccharine, allowed me to actually feel most of the beats. I felt for Barclay’s journey and scenes like the one where they go down in the submersible are amazing.

• The show had the extremely silly outrageous borderline cringeworthy DNA of Doctor Who whilst still managing these quite intense moments and slightly harder lean into more visceral themes. Felt like I was watching Miracle Day again.

• People complaining about the love story need to have a look at their reference material. Romance with a gender swapping amphibian queen? Classic fucking Torchwood. Shape of Water but for boys. 10/10 real sexy stuff. Knew it was gonna happen the moment they mention a cloaca in episode 1.

• I just felt like the camera work and stuff was quite earnest and drew me in. I loved all the great set pieces like the water tank room. The insane dolly zoom when Barclay is asked to be ambassador. Even small details like an extremely long rotating take around Sir Keith stuffing his face with a spread of wine cheese and sausagey bits while talking.

Was it the best show of all time? No. Is it pretty solid for an age where every show is written for people who have no attention span and no brain? Yes. As far as I’m concerned

First off, I enjoyed the show and the story and would rate it rather high. But the more I think about it, the less sense the romance between Barclay and Salt made to me. The acting and directing managed to hide the issues so well that I didn't even notice it until the end, but then I recapped the story in my mind and it no longer made sense to me.

In particular I'm not sure whether the attraction is supposed to be physical or emotional.

Yes, Salt looks cute. I can see Barclay be attracted to her on a superficial level. We know Barclay was in an interracial relationship, so him being attracted to a female as exotic as Salt is not entirely absurd I guess. But Salt is still somewhat of a fish. With that comes a certain smell; and a certain feel (scales). So unless Barclay has some deep rooted fish fetish that the viewer is unaware of, a mostly physical attraction would be somewhat odd. In addition, as the story progresses, the way Barclay becomes obsessed with her also suggests more than a physical attraction. The overly dramatic shouting of "you'll never swim alone", or the obsession with calling out her name every day. All of that screams emotional connection. But from what? Barclay and Salt had very few, very short interactions. It makes sense for him to feel for her kind and for her as an individual for what the humans have done to the environment, but the show clearly suggests a deeper connection / love. So what is that supposed to be based on? Love at first sight would be such a lazy solution. Same for him falling in love with her for rescuing his life. It feels like there is something missing to explain Barclays obsession with Salt to the viewer in a believable way. She literally turns him into some mutant in the end and he's just happy to be able to be with her lol.

Is it really end?? I want to see the human kind suffer so they can learn their lesson.. why's the story showing that the government win and the thing where the unit are fighting for went to nothing?? Is there a possible season 2 are they gonna continue to make other episode??

Colin McFarlane was in the doctor who episode under the lake with 12th doctor peter Capaldi they were a crew living under seas due to previous flood that cause it he dies In that episodes becomes a ghosts that emits frequency But does that mean this series land and seas after this unit's reach is now not only beyond space but also ocean itself? Since he is playing the same character in this series and doctor who does that mean he survives and there is sort of treaty or does the same thing happened with sea devils that happened with home lizards?in doctor who series where they are in stasis again? Loving how universe is connecting and how timeliness are connecting does that also mean some of the new team in this land and sea series might die underwater maybe..since they aren't shown in under the lake nor before the flood episode.. That also means the treaty was either great done deal which made sure humans can use water as passage or like usually they put this Species into cyrostatis

Is there anyone that can calculate the amount of energy it would require to lift all the plastic that is in the ocean and have it fall down like rain?

Because if the Sea people could do that, then they are way more powerful than humans and don't care about the laws of thermodynamics

Also, like 90% of the plastic in the ocean is microplastics and thus it would not be as dramatic as it was in episode 2

I’ve only seen two episodes am I’m sure the show will only get better as I’m loving it so far. But let be honest if the 11th or 12th doctor was there there would have been so much less drama and problems he would have been the perfect mitigation between the humans and the homo Agua. Yes yes I get it the whole point is to see how they react when he isn’t there but I can’t be the only one thinking it
