In Ep26, when it seems like Eiffel might be about to die from Decima, Minkowski says "No. No! After all the crap we - We still have time!". And Ep30, when Eiffel's given up hope whilst stranded in Lovelace's shuttle, he says "After all that crap, I never made it back."

And when I think about that with the context of the whole series in mind, it makes me a little sad. Because they are both totally right that they've been through so much crap. And they have so much more crap ahead of them.

Before the arrival of the SI-5, before the three deaths they witnessed, before actual direct alien encounters, before Pryce and Cutter and their restraining bolts and evil plans… Before all of that, they've already been through so much.

There's that undertone in those quotes of 'after all we've been through, don't we deserve a break?' But they don't get one.
