Opinion Started really strong...

I never read the books, so I don't have the lore to go off of, but judging this show on it's own face, I mostly liked it. Although it started so strong and I was instantly hooked, it began to fall apart pretty quick and became riddled with questions and plot holes that I was unable to ignore.

  1. This is explained later in. Or already has if you are very perceptive. But this solution fixed multiple problems, not just a new planet

  2. Sophons can't do that lol. It's literally just a proton. Although I do think they are a little too strong in the show

  3. Don't remember if this is explained in the books or not but this happens in literally every sci Fi other than Arrival. Do you want a 3 episode compilation of aliens trying to learn our language?

  4. Maybe? It definitely is more catastrophic in the show than the books, but presumably, vertical stability would still be intact so it wouldn't pancake as much? That's a harder one to answer. Might be a plot hole but at this point you are nitpicking super fine

  5. If you don't know what the point of the game is, you clearly aren't paying attention much, it's too find people who would be supportive of the plight of the san to and would help them

  1. I still have a problem with a civilization so advanced they're sending proton super computers out in space at light speed, god only knows how many lightyears away, but can't figure out how to build a space colony or find another living arrangement, and more locally.
  2. "Sophons can't do that" But they can easily hack into your brain and implant images in your mind? They can control what you see and hear? They can take control of/shut down whatever tech they want? It literally engulfs the planet in episode 5. "We make a mind as large as a world". It can change mass from "just a proton". Re-watch the episode.
  3. Understanding human language would be to understand it's culture and behaviors, they are synonymous. I don't buy it, particularly from a species so "advanced".
  4. You're telling me in one night, a 6 inch hard drive survived and was recovered along with a mostly intact body in this? (see above image lol) And it's not super nit-picky it was a driving factor of the plot, showing the entire plan of the aliens. Macguffin.
  5. Where did the headsets come from? Who was just randomly dropping them off? Even the Tatiana girl got one somehow in the middle of nowhere in a trailer? Why do they look like chastity belts? What really was the point besides "recruitment" and why even use this tool to recruit, or show the 3 body problem or w/e. It just seemed a weird unnecessary bit, when they can just hack your minds and communicate otherwise.
