The highlight of the series so far

WOW.

MQ is usually a plucky, fun, and light show, but DAMN, they warped my mind with this one.

The period, the actors, the pacing, the atmosphere, the story, the feelings... this was flawless.

Hats off to the showrunners and everyone involved.

Quiz
This is the second episode in the show's run that provides a historical background. The first is A Dark Quiet Death (2020). Both were directed by Rob McElhenney.

Blooper
Before Carl approaches Isaac Asimov to read his novella, he stops at the receptionist's desk, where she is reading a paperback copy of Robert A. Heinlein's 1951 novel, Between Planets. The timeline is established as being prior to 1973 (the year of his Nebula award). The Darrell K. Sweet artwork shown on the cover of Between Planets, however, was not used until 1978 (1st Ballantine edition or Del Rey). The Steele Savage artwork would have been the cover seen prior to 1973 (1971-1975 Ace editions).

Citazioni
Carl Longbottom: By any chance, did you...
A.E. Goldsmith: I read it.
Carl Longbottom: Well, listen, I... I'm sure it comes off like a poor man's Asimov, but my idea was to get something published. Anything, really. This way I'll have more opportunities to publish work that's a bit more me. You see what I mean? Obviously it worked out a bit better than I expected, but...
A.E. Goldsmith: Carl... "Tears of the Anaren" didn't read like a poor man's Asimov. It read exactly like Asimov.
[long, loaded pause as A.E. and Carl stare each other down]
Carl Longbottom: [smiles awkwardly] What a lovely compliment. Thank you. So kind of you to say.
