Why the FUDGE am I still watching this stupid show?
PERFECT EXAMPLE - Latest episode - Control/Nanobot trying to stab Ms Crying Lame in the eye with a needle syringe thing. Literally has it 1/2 cm from her eye before he gets knocked off. Then, mere minutes later a stream of nanites are coming toward her all swarm style to infect her.
We've established that this AI is apparently smarter than all get out and can see all possible outcomes, even said that exact thing IIRC. Could it have just dripped out of the stupid syringe or something?
GOD... this doofy show gives me a headache.
Ya- I was really hoping for more intelligent writing. Especially for such short seasons with a highly focused story.
But we get exactly what you just described. We get a terminator that has super abilities that doesn't use them until AFTER explaining it's motives (all he needed was a 1920's twirly moustache). The PHASER bullets can't stop it (at what point is this thing actually a PHASER?) pew pew pew, but Burnham can keep him from stabbing her in the eye somehow. Swarmy nano tech seems to be super duper fast, but then slow when required for pointless dramatic effect.
And this time stuff is really getting irritating. Everything is either time can be changed, or it CAN'T be changed, or there's only 1 way to do it out of 13 billion possible outcomes. Sorry, I'm starting to confuse this series with Doctor Who, the MCU, and Terminator.
******, I want to want to like this show, but I don't know what the hell they're doing here.
And BY GOD, is Pike and Saru so irrationally patient with Burnham and Tilly. "I'm not suggesting, I'm asserting!" Just answer your Captain's ******* question without interjecting your pointless opinions! And Tilly... I'm just going to babble one and on during critical moments. Just answer the ******* question and move the dialogue and story along.
