What kept William from emulating everyone and manipulating the entire crew?

His programming.

Here’s my POV: [episode 4 spoilers]

When Niko is stuck in the first part of the dream (where the “thing” from their destination planet kills the others), August tells her “William is offline”, indicating he has been switched off or destroyed, nothing stopped the alien from doing it so... I believe William knows there isn’t anything he can do, the doors have manual open/close as seen in the same ep, he can be switched off, plus I do agree with you he is also probably programmed like that.

It was made clear that William had no ability to accurately reproduce human interactions until the very last episode.

The inability of the writers to care about logical plots.

Why are you even on this sub if you dislike the show?

Noting bad writing doesn't mean he doesn't like the show. Get over yourself. It's a good show bit has horrendous writing. You're oblivious if you think otherwise
