But Kim felt it fell down in terms of the whole Spectrum team going down to Mars. Even as far back as the Apollo missions (in real terms) and Zero X (in Anderson terms) there would always have been a crew member in orbit...
And whilst it was pretty to look at, I'm not sure Mars has any live volcanic activity. I'm a pedant, I know...
But still loving the series, despite the quibbles. Definitely the best thing to come out of the Anderson stable since 'Space:1999' in my book.

Yeh it was a bit 'Terminator' in parts but the RAT itself was the highlight. Nice to get away from a wholly human form and have something like that. Loved the way it kind of flipped over and righted itself.
Who would have designed that, Aegis?

The RAT was designed by our uber-talented Director/Concept Art Director, Dominic Lavery as were many of the great vehicles in the show including the Bison, Rhino and Falcon.
Whilst I'm on the subject, great though the RAT design is, it's the animation which brings it alive and I have to say the animators did an amazing job with it - all the RAT's animation was keyframed and I think the results are stunning - hats off to them (and the rest of Scarlet Team) for a great episode

In that case, tell him job well done!
Well done all of you in fact!

How far into production are you now, BTW?

Really? Any signs that production will continue into a second series? Or onto something new?
I'd like to think the creative team will continue, as it seems to be working well.
