Do you mean the “she’s waiting for you” line? That wasn’t borderline, that was cheesy AF

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah, the hospital scene.

Also the combined themes about the two leads not really having a place with the female culture of their town / the water is poison from the mine: Navarro attends a birth as an outsider, and witnesses their relief when they successfully revive the baby; then Danvers goes to the "wake" (or whatever their cultural equivalent is) of another baby that was stillborn that day. This was muddled in its execution and made the themes fall kind of flat.

Then Danvers's second daydream/flashback to being in the desert; the ghostly voices while she's searching the tundra for what's his name; and then the girls go visit the former scientist out at the remote camp, and accomplish nothing of significance.

Stylistically it's all very enjoyable, but it's lacking in substance.

I had similar thoughts on the episode. It can certainly come together in the final three episodes, but it may be trying to do too much right now.
