grey_bard and seanchai and I were all going "OMG, why aren't you giving him CPR?" in that scene. Luckily, the laws of movie drama-logic mean that cradling someone in your arms dramatically also works as a method of reviving someone (or, if you're the Hulk, just yelling at them really loud can also work).
Oh, the relatives-as-drift-teams didn't bother me (it does make sense that immediate family would have close compatibility, especially sets of identical twins or triplets like the three-man Jaeger team), and to be fair, there was already more variety than many action movies offer because you had Asian and black Jaeger pilots and not just white American guys. It was the fact that the only non-relative teams we saw were all opposite sex pairs and I really really wanted same-sex soulbonded fighter pilots (most of fandom seems to be perfectly happy with the soulbonded scientists, but I wanted a badass heroic robot team, and again to be fair, I've have been perfectly happy with one that only existed onscreen long enough to die in order to up the stakes for Our Heroes, the same way the other not-Gypsy-Dancer-and-Stryker teams did).
Cherno Alpha may have looked kind of silly, but it was silly in a way that reminded me of the silver age Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man armors, which is why "Titanium Dynamo" when I couldn't remember what it was called.
