A Mind of Its Own

Thinking is the process of perceiving and making sense of one's surroundings. Once again we find that the crew is woefully lacking in the most basic mental ability: thinking. And why might that be. Perhaps the writers themselves are lacking. That's where I put my money.

And once again the crew shows a lack of unity; of respect (for themselves and others) and basic cohesion. Again I would suggest that the writers themselves have never experienced camaraderie: of being a member of a team.

If not for the clearly substandard writers this series could have been a success.

Really? Who writes this stuff? A 11 year old? OK. Don't be boring and use 1950's basic protocol created by NASA. But really, astronauts acting as 10 year Olds in a uncharted planet. Ship crew been kids without any thoughts?

Compelled to watch, despite the low production values. Episode 1 - "we haven't worn uniforms is decades". Episode 5, everyone clearly in uniforms.

And yes...we just lost a few redshirts to an alien parasite so let's take absolutely no precautions going forward.

I'll keep watching it however, because there's literally nothing else after 2 years of pandemic entertainment.

After science and dialogue left the room there was barely anything holding this thing together. But even the continuity in the show itself is gone now. Wasn't it 2 episodes ago that they encountered a alien protein that could kill them? And what's the first thing they do now? Eat stuff they find walk around without helmets on. The team of writers behind this show are something special alright.

However, they re-used the set of Annihilation with Natalie Portman for sure.
