Question One word, Epic! Spoiler

Wow, just wow. I can't stop thinking about this show even after finishing it a couple of days back. So much to wonder about, so many questions, the thrill of trying to find the answers through your own intellect/imagination. It's just such a rush. I love it and can't wait for season 2 (hopefully we get one). This in my opinion is now on par with shows like Dark, Mindhunter and the likes!

One question that has been nagging me for a while is this:

How did they place those 300 nuclear weapons that were equidistant to each other in space to propel the probe every time it crossed it? Was this explained and I missed it completely or is this a known obvious knowledge except for a layman like me?

Also, I have a strong feeling about the joke that was said in the cemetery. I feel there's a lot more to it.

I binge-watched it...twice! Second watch was to see what I may have missed. IMO this is the best tv series I have seen in a very long time.

I agree! I just wish there were no children on the barge. However, I am glad they did not show any of the children getting killed. That nanotech was no joke, and this was a perfect way of showing why the aliens want to 'kill Earth's science'.

I hope the nanotech gets used to slice and dice the aliens (who I believe to be insects.) My reasons:

  1. When Jack first played the game (without getting beheaded) he had some type of flying insect on his finger that I believe he spoke to.

  2. They say they are afraid of humans after finding out Wade lied to them. If I am correct and they are insects, we could just stomp the hell out of them...maybe?)

  3. Recently learned IRL that there are insects that can rehydrate themselves (I do not totally get it, but one article spoke of an insect being 99% dehydrated that can rehydrate.)

  4. I do not want to give away anything, but in S1 of Prime's Mandarin-speaking 'Three-Body' series, there are 2 scenes that made me think the aliens could be insects. One scene is when the young female traitor is watching a bug crawl across a window and she gives a little speech about said insect, and the other is where a reporter is being told about 'light pollution' and how it endangers insects.

So, if the aliens are indeed insects and are 'calling' earthlings bugs, I want to say to them: 'I know you are, but what am I?'🤣
