    The sound design in this show is just the most unique storytelling experience I've ever had. The way there is a brief bassy rumble when Zeela thinks "Sherman is dead" and of course the Baron's music. That pause where there is just music was phenomenal as I realized my imagination filled that gap in narration with a cinematic visual of the ship coming into view. This show is just amazing!

    Lark saying to Phineas“This is who you are now. It’s part of you” and “there is no amount of good deeds that will erase what you did” feels sooo much like she’s recalling her history with her own kill, (maxemillion loxlee) and how she herself has been hunted for that act all her life… (pretty sure she was like ~10 ish? When she killed Max? It was very very young I think…?)

      Plottwist: (as a joke) The Monster is Jonas Spahr, when he didn`t help Weepe he showed that in reality he is no paragon of valor, but just to quote Weepe " A dog on a leash of the trust". He didn`t help Weepe because he thaught what Imelda was doing was right, but because he didn`t want to damage his position in the trust.

    My theory is that Kozma Laszlo wanted something with Phineas. Thinking back to when he rescued the boy. Some small shipped missed it chance that time. Kozma is then negotiating the sale of Midst with The Trust. Next minute, the moon unexpectedly blows up and we end up here. Phineas also doesn't remember his childhood. What if he's a child of Kozma?

He was raised to be that way, subservient and dependent on the Trust and its systems. His real struggle isn't integration into Trust society, it's to be a good person outside of it.

      Verizon is generally a "premium" internet/phone carrier. They usually offer the best options, but always a bit pricey so sometimes it's hard to justify. Definitely not the worst, but the way infrastructure works in the US a lot of people end up with limited options for viable carriers. If VZ is your only available carrier they might price gouge you. In those situations they're as awful as every other internet provider in this godforsaken country.
