I've enjoyed the season well enough so far but this to me was a bit off script-wise.
Nothing wrong with the concept – a forgotten spaceship from Earth* but there was no explanation or speculation on how they survived and why their spaceship had that (atrocious) cyberpunk pirates of the caribbean aesthetic.
So many questions that even the characters themselves should have asked but didn't. The takeaway seemed to be about human nature, the darkness within us etc. but it wasn't really explored rather than haphazardly touched upon like it was an afterthought. And maybe it was, maybe the idea that the "dangerous aliens" were human was a late edit.
*Although a bit hard to integrate to the canon but whatever.
ijon_the_human@lemmy.world the whole forgotten spaceship idea was worth at least a multi episode arc, but I don't think we'll get much, which is too bad because there's quite a bit to explore. Not even some old log entries to listen to.
Double edged sword that is the episodic show.
