In Episode 16 we follow a very lucky drop ship, and its crew.
Set during a futuristic war, Marine Lieutenant Colby is assigned as the pilot of a drop ship with an unfortunate name and history. But on their first mission together, Lucky 13 and her passengers end up the sole survivors, which causes the lieutenant to immediately change her mind about the ship being jinxed. Over the course of multiple missions, the pilot and her ship build up a reputation of reliability and excellence. But one day, disaster strikes as the ship is shot down by the enemy and, pinned down, Colby makes the decision to scuttle the ship so it doesn’t fall into enemy hands. She withdrawals with an apology and awaits the end with the rest of the evacuated personnel, as they continue to take gunfire. There’s several tense moments when it seems like the ship’s self-destruct has malfunctioned, but as the enemy starts to spread out all over the plane, it finally detonates, destroying the hostiles and saving the marines one final time.

With its diversity of thought-provoking themes and artwork styles, Netflix’s animated adult anthology series LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS is just begging for detailed discussion, so the Love, Death and Robots Plus podcast was started to do exactly that! Join us as we dig in each week to discover what we liked as well as what we didn’t like about a given LD+R episode. We’ll focus on the narrative and story elements, as well as the art styles, the studios that produced them, and the original short stories from which the episodes were born. There’s something for everyone in Love, Death & Robots and we hope our podcast discussions will be the same!
