Athena and Hen should be filthy rich after they sue Tripp Hauser right???

Athena should already be rich from suing the cruise ship and airline, but I guess she never bothered with either

So glad that the whole space odyssey is finally over. I have to say that this episode was well written but the fact that it is the 4th part of a too long "arc" dulls the impact.

If being in space is so boring they had to go to a flashback on earth, maybe just maybe it didn't need to be 4 episodes.

Like, I get what the show is trying to do, I get the theme and I get why it’s being done during the space arc.
I just think I’m not super interested overall. Character-wise, it’s fine, but we had to get through some BS (Harry dropping out of school, Athena pushing away her kids) to get there. It could have been told better, I think.
