Would to to hear book readers opinions (with no spoilers for future seasons, if possible). Anyway, enjoyable season through and through. Looking back, I guess the set up for Rei vs Tak was sort of there, but in the beginning I really didn’t think she was alive. I’ve never read the books, actually through these threads I actually learned there were books so thanks for that(!), so I enjoyed this first season a lot. Though, I’m not down for the whole family drama overshadows every plot line ‘type thing’. I hope we see more of her/the Elliott’s in season 2. I actually loved her whole story arc and it’s resolution. Remembering him being double sleeved sort of took away most of the emotion from him staying with Rei in the aircraft. But I guess they’re saving that for another season, or they’re just going to do it at the beginning of next season, which I’m sure they’ll be one. From a story standpoint it makes sense, because basically every season they can get a new key actor for the main role, well probably for the main roleS, and it helps keep the show fresh and original. Honestly, I thought Takeshi was going to lose both of his sleeves. I’m so so happy Ortega got her payback on Leung. The Bancrofts do indeed have one in the book. We have them, know they make a sound in the breeze, but have no idea how, why, or what their purpose is. Songspires are still an unknown in the book. They are somewhat a backdrop, but serve a much bigger role later on. Certainly technology is harvested from the remains of the Elders/Martians, and this is much bigger deal in books 2 and 3, so I won't go into what or why, but its actually all very plausible in the books. Stacks, DHF, and needlecasting I believe were all solely human inventions, but now that we have a base on other worlds, people were sent there via needlecast, and so the colonies were formed. We found maps of their colonized worlds, and used those to send out ships since we knew where we could go (we knew they needed a planet similar enough to ours). They are not from Mars, but colonized it. In the books (minor spoilers, just background material really) the Elder Race is referred to as Martians, because humanity first found them on Mars.
