I get what they knew what they were getting at with the peaches scene but it just felt overdone to me - it was enough to have the picnic. I just felt bludgeoned to death with their attempt to contrast how all of these important people die while others just get on with ordinary things.
I see that they were trying to have some kind of allegory here, but it was a little too wrong-tasted for me. It actually changed in a big way the way I view Pullo. He just emerges as too simple here. It seems that fictional characters are like real people, we don’t notice many things up to a point, but then the time comes when we DO notice. Take me right, I still love his character, but not in a shallow “OMPH, he is so hot sort” of way. (But may be a little I still do :D)
