Tommy's favorite book: The Martian Chronicles

Tommy Ross, the nicest boy in Chamberlain, has a favorite book, and it is Bradbury's story about people who arrive somewhere beautiful and ruin it. His line in the show is the giveaway. "We Earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things." If you have read the 1974 novel you know why that lands. If you haven't, finish the season before you look it up.
