Oh, ... this is going in the wrong direction very quickly, wasting the good aspects (Benedict Wong and some great thought provoking concepts) with just plain silly carry on. I don't need to go on about the ludicrous dicing a ship to get a hard drive plot point. I mean, what are we supposed to do with that? Is this a comedy now?
Everyone of us is now thinking season 8 of Game of Thrones with dread and quickly loosing any level of trust in the writers, if we had any to start with.
Annoying Augie with her pouty catwalk looks may well have played out her plot point with her 'cutty string' so hopefully we've seen the back of her and her attempts to bring back smoking. Nano fibres..... what a oblique way to make her relevant to the story. Yes in ep 5 you're going to prove your worth by finishing off your science project so we can slice up children on a boat, yay!
The aliens, don't seem that smart for a race of creatures who can make a proton computer and send technology 4 light years away. How did the helmets get made and the hard drive etc? I guess that's the drawback of having a little knowledge and a little understanding possibly gained from watching youtube videos. It starts to fall apart with any level of scrutiny.
I think that's what is the most disappointing aspect of this show, it's almost a strong idea but ruined by halfbaked plot failures.
The aliens are worried that in 400 years humans will have surpassed their their technology? So what, the aliens are planning to stop progressing on their 400 year journey? Not going to read any books while you travel?, come up with some new ideas?, pack a couple of test tubes and a bunsen burner? It was an interesting thought till you thought about it.
I don't think 'own goal' of detailing your plot holes is good enough as when Wong notes they can do instantaneous communication but can't travel faster than sub lightspeed with a shoulder shrug, although I'll give you a point for saying "That's impossible,.... impossible, for us".
This show is frustratingly thought provoking and mind-numbing at the same time.
I'm worried the next episode will h ave something in it that will stop me wanting to finish the season, it's pretty close to it now, no, to be fair it has past that point, and I'm running on walking dead fumes, I know I should have stopped watching that show half way through, but it's hard to turn away from a train wreck.
Oh and Liam Cunningham's hard as MI5-6 tough guy act is wearing pastiche thin.
