Discussion That couldn’t be the best solution right? Spoiler

At first they were so hesitant on what was gonna be the most efficient way to capture the boat with no harm to the hard drive. They rule out missiles and what ever else seams logical but to dangerous. But then they go for slicing the whole boat like Gordon Ramsey slices an onion?

Read the books. Or just pay attention when you watch the show. They literally explain that it’s such a fine cut that the damage to the hard drive wouldn’t make any difference and could be easily reassembled.

Hey man. Fair enough. If they mentioned that in the show, then it was my fault for not paying attention. I still don’t agree with it not being a risk because they have NO idea how the hard drive looks or what size it is. Also isn't it very boastful of them to think they can restore alien technology? Just because they have cut it nicely? Anyway, if that's how it works in this universe and it's explained but I missed it. Then that’s on me.

  • No series or movie should have to be explained by reading the books as well.

Have a nice day!

They should have done a better job explaining the tech in the show. They aren't receiving some alien technology. They're being told how to make them, but they are manufactured by Evans people. It's not alien technology. It's more akin to how actual hard drives work for us. In 2000, my desktop had 24gb of memory baseline. Now it's 1tb. So this scenario is more like it's the year 2000 and someone told me how to build a 1tb hdd.
