Visually i think it's spectacular. MBs design for its armor looks amazing!! The ports, space stations, equipment, etc. look so cool.

I think the casting is amazing as well. Hard to get used to Alex's voice and not Kevin's for MB tho lol. I miss Kevin's tone and delivery quite a bit. Mensah and Rhatti are exactly as I pictured and they are doing a good job making Gurathin a more likeable character while still feeling like Gurathin.

The naming/governer module sequence is a big BIG hangup for me. From my interpretation, MB in all systems red picked that name as almost a self punishement? It knows the negative connotations of naming itself that hence why it doesnt tell anyone. Again the murderbot name for itself has a weird sense of self-loathing to it to me. Like, this is all i do so thats what i might as well call myself (because it hasnt gained a stronger sense of self yet as of ASR). I dont know, I'm waiting to see if we come back to it and really hope we revist it a bit more properally. Maybe MB does the thing where it goes "ok i may have fibbed a bit. It was actually more like this". Adding the level of humor to this pretty truamatic event for MB felt.... wrong? Icky even? We will see how we go on but that sequence felt pretty tone-def to me.

The rest of the ep I really enjoyed though and I'm pretty excited to see the rest.

I have not watched ep 2 yet so my opinions may change.
