Never have I seen a piece of media use the "highly skilled character cannot use a computer" trope so effectively to recontextualise it's character's relationships than with Juno Steel. It's something people look over alot but it completely changes the context of him and Rita's relationship and it's GREAT. In season 1, we can make the assumption that he specifically chose a secretary as skilled as Rita as a strategic move. But as soon as we move into season 2 - and into the start of his development - we see that she's just the equivalent to his I.T. guy. He has no way to know the scale of her skill, hell, he cant turn on a computer - so it shows that he MUST value her as a person. It leads into the theme of their friendship in season 2 so well and I'm going insane.

Juno Steel and the Things We Buried [get it here!]
I think there's a kind of fear that always comes with being in love. When letting someone else hold so much of you all at once. They could let you fall at any second if they wanted to. So how the hell do you get over that fear? Trust that they won't let you go, that they will hold you up, the same way that you hold them? And then I thought about a hotel on Mars a long time ago. A place where, to be honest, I let Nureyev fall. No wonder he was scared, no wonder I was too. But how the hell are we supposed to get past that?

some of my personal favorite penumbra quotes (all from season 1 & 2)
-“nothing a shower and a few vaccinations won’t fix” (peter)
-“those damn things give my heebies jeebies” (juno)
-“he pulls off the mask, and there he is: peter nureyev, looking like a knight in stolen armor” (juno)
-“i would love to but i can’t think of a single damn conclusion to jump to” (juno)
-[menacingly] “have you ever heard a gold fish scream before, young man” (nphd lyle monrovean)
-“if you don’t want to know what impromptu surgery feels like coming from a one-eyed mainiac with nothing to lose, doc, i recommend you keep quiet” (juno, because who else would say this)
- “it was a bad decision, which made it feel right at home with all my other decisions” (juno)
-“murders like comedy everyone thinks they’re secretly good at it? murder’s like comedy if you do it right the other guy ends up on the floor? or murder is like comedy, both were responsible for 300 deaths in the vaudeville massacre of the 24th century?” (juno)

thinking about how even though Aurinko Crime family doesn't trust each other as thieves, they do trust and love each other as a family

fun facts about the names of the penumbra podcast characters (junoverse specifically cause i haven't watched the other one)
nureyev was a famous male ballet dancer, and peter/petya means rock! petya (the name slip calls nureyev) is actually a female name, as well as being the name of a family of malware. the surname nureyev and the name petya are both russian/eastern european, despite the names of outer rim planets being from a variety of cultures (brahma is a hindu creator god, ranga is an australian word, balder (aka baldur) is a norse god of light and beauty, yama is a hindu god of death/the underworld/justice, osiris is an egyptian god of the afterlife that judged souls, susano-o is a japanese god of thunderstorms).
aurinko means sun! buddy obviously is another word for friend
vespa means wasp, and ilkay means new moon.
so buddy and vespa are literally eachothers sun/moon awwwwww
rita means pearl and is a greek word
juno is the roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, but unlike in greek mythology she has a more warlike aspect! steel is used as a metaphor for being strong and hardy, as well as coming from germanic origins and relating to the german word stahl, to stay.
jet is a type of black semi-precious stone, plus y'know. jet engines, etc. sikuliaq is a boat! a research vessel actually, and the word means 'young sea ice' in the native Iñupiaq language.
m'tendere means peace in chichewa, a language spoken in zambia, malawi, mozambique and zimbabwe
kanagawa means 'god sound river' and is also a city! croesus basically means rich, croesus was a rich king of lydia (also the last king). cecil means blind to ones own beauty or sixth, but i prefer the first interpretation because cecil wears loads of makeup and trys really hard to be this big personality, missing his true beauty on the inside. cassandra was an ancient greek prophetess who was cursed to always see the truth but never be believed, and her documentary ideas making money when she was told they wouldn't is very cool. min means 'minute', 'from' and 'quick' or 'clever' in abbreviations, arabic and korean respectively.
thats all i can be bothered to do for now, more possibly coming later! lmk if anyone wants more!
