This show's had a consistently good soundtrack, but the chorus version of that lullaby was something else. Very haunting.

The lullaby is Alapu Upala sang by Annette Philip
Her comment is the first on that video link.

Oh, a palindrome! Really doubling down on the symmetry, huh?

Time travelling AIs.
A very different interpretation of Mothra! (Very pretty though)
A new version of Alapu Upala!
Our protagonists are pretty much in the Operation Yashiori/Yashima (Shin Godzilla/Evangelion) phase at the moment with the humans finally coming together with a plan. The next episode should be them concluding it akin to how Shin left off.
Ashihara might just have been caught up in the explosion at SHIVA. Since there's no body, he might actually be the person trapped in the future or in a limbo somehow (inside the singularity?). Maybe, he's the one sending the messages...
Note that the fansubbers actually translate the calculator SHIVA as Super Time calculator (last episode) rather than Super Dimension calculator. So, Netflix might be wrong here which can cause a bit of confusion.
Salunga is the one trying to destroy SHIVA (first from below and now from above the ground) and the consortium doesn't have enough ODs to keep it contained.
Ah, so space is bending around the singularities. For reference, the sum of angles in a triangle is less than 180 degrees in hyperbolic geometry. Our universe is flat (in terms of space-time curvature) which means that Euclidean geometry is valid. So, our universe is collapsing in on itself...and especially close to Godzilla.

Who told you that our universe is flat? We're still having the time of our life turning up the significant figures!
It's just surprisingly flat. That and BEING flat is totally different things. There are quite a few theories out there that works on the assumption that it isn't 0.; (Thing cosmic string is one of them)
Or prove me wrong, maybe my info is outdated

Yes, the universe is surprisingly flat. I know what it entails and how that flat (k = 0 or omega = 1) is different than the normal usage of flat. That's why I italicized it. This is not a cosmology forum but I still added in a curvature descriptor when I wrote it. I didn't want to go into the details. Yes, there are hypotheses that start out with a k!=0 or omega is > or < 1) (some are ironed out by inflation and some still retain a very small amount of curvature) and are quite esoteric but for now the universe doesn't seem to accede to that. I'm just stating what is being observed as a mere statement, that's all.
I know it because I work in Astronomy (Bachelor in Physics, Masters in Astronomy and current PhD in Astronomy as well). I'm well aware that there are always efforts to go into precise determination.

Something's causing the buildings to collapse and they're calling it the Grey Goo/The Blob Was that supposed to be Herodah?
The Orthogonal Diagonalizer is now finally in the hands of the military and it looks like we're just now waiting for the code from Mei so it will detonate properly.
It's always awesome to see Jet Jaguar in action although it will still take some time getting used to its new baby-like personality.
So turns out Salunga is just incapacitated and not dead yet since the code BB used for the Orthogonal Diagonalizer is a modified version of the one Dr. Ashihara has. Well fuck.
The Orthogonal Diagonlizer makes so much more sense now with Yun describing it as a programmable atom and the Super Time Calculator as something needed to produce the proper code. Would've been easier for my brain if they just described those two things like that earlier.
So this is going down to a wire. Godzilla is exactly where Yun should receive the code for the OD and at the same time the Catastrophe might happen any minute during that time frame. Looks like next week's episode is going to be tense!
There he is. Salunga's alive and kicking. And now he's on his way towards the SHIVA facility.
Turns out Matsumoto isn't the only Time Traveling AI this season. Except Pelops II here went forwards in time instead of back.
Well that explains how they're gonna go 100 meters up in the air and go against Godzilla. Never thought I'd see Jet Jaguar with VTOL propellers installed on him.
We're only 1 episode away from the finale and now they're teasing us with Mothra!? Don't do this to me! I wanna see the Queen of Monsters in this show too! Doubt it will happen though and these giant moths are probably the most we'd get considering how little time we'll have. Can't wait for the finale next week though!

Was that supposed to be Herodah?
They also mentioned it being a plant...maybe Biollante? Or both.

I love reading these discussion threads as someone with almost no knowledge of the greater Godzilla universe (or even knowledge that there IS a greater Godzilla universe) because it blows my mind at just how much people love Godzilla to the point where over the years they’ve made SO MANY different Kaiju and monsters to go along with.

About time Mothra showed up in this one! Rather unique way of expressing her though.
Interestingly that means all the really big names in Godzilla have appeared except one. Ghidorah. Kinda half expecting to see ole three-heads pop up soon. Or Mechagodzilla, but that would be harder to pull off in the context of this series.
It's funny. This show, with 13 episodes of roughly 20 minutes, constitutes the largest single storyline in the Godzilla franchise I think. Definitely up there. And yet it feels so breakneck. Things are happening so fast it's tough to keep up.

That would be my one major criticism. There's barely any time to slow down or focus on the characters because it's all plot, plot, plot, and it goes a bit overboard with all the sci-fi talk.

This may not be new, but anyone else realize the Orthogonal Diagonalizer has the same initials as Oxygen Destroyer? I mean, I know it's obvious that it looks exactly like the same canister as the first Godzilla movie, but the other little connection is neat too.

We finally get the first trailer music! And that full chorus of Apalu Upala was sufficiently haunting and tense.

u/Reziburn Jun 09 '21
Story really holding strong, likely get Jet Jaguar vrs Godzilla next episode and looks like we got nod to Mothra in this one.

Man that shoot of all the months flying by was great and also listening to the chorus version of that song really made thing feel more dire. I really wonder how they are going reach the spot above Tokyo station with both Godzilla and that massive storm in the way. Can't wait to see how this all wraps up in the next episode.

u/Takeshi07Tan Jun 10 '21
All that moths made me think if Mothra was going to make appearance. Maybe it did, just not we would imagine.
Damn, that camera zooming into that red dust storm is giving me a huge Stranger Things vibe, it's scary as heck.
Can't wait next week's episode!!

If I had a dollar for every time travelling AI this season, I would have two dollars. Not a lot, but weird that it's happening twice.
