Another anon refuted that at the time when Morrow uploads the data, this episode hasn't been written yet, so the data about the Facetime meeting doesn't exist as Hawley hasn't thought of it yet.

True, it may be he's leaving them in situations with a high chance of getting fucked to see if they can get themselves out of it. He may have even sabotaged the feeding chamber.

>Boardwalk Empire even though I've only seen a little of S1
>Babylon 5
>True Detective S1

You have plotlines that lead somewhere and there's closure of story elements and the story progresses forward rather quickly. It's probably too early to judge because everyone is impatient for the next episode, A:E is still running. Hindsight will tell us everything.
>>
>>214450022
>>no guards and no active monitoring
What? The island is full of guards. They had a pretty forced scene of exposition about exactly that. Unless you mean no guards in the lab itself? And to that, have you literally ever been to a lab? You don't just have guards standing outside it.
>HUGE MAN SIZED AIR VENT
That's the most common tv and film trope imaginable. Do you complain that Goldeneye is shit for the same thing? Mission Impossible? Literally every film/show that has an air vent?
>>
>>214450282
I forgot to mention that most of these shows, TNG especially, often have self-contained episodes, which is probably anathema in the current TV climate.

Following on from the last thread. Not all stories need to follow this structure. Biographies and slice of life films often don't

only because the humans, trained professionals and even hybrids are unfathomably stupid. wear goggles around the eyeball. don't let the tick escape by putting in a container that can be opened from the inside. don't drink the water visibly full of tick babies. don't go into the fly's enclosure and let it take its time blasting its cum on your face. hell, even the face hugger infections are kind of easy to avoid by putting a rack of hockey masks at the entrance of the lab, but at least the xenomorph itself is a horrifyingly dangerous creature.

My feeling is that it could really work, but we still won't see it for a while.

The online reaction against any of the episodes that didn't work would be enough to 86 the whole show, but the whole point of shows like this is to try different things and this means allowing for some failures. When every episode has a few different storylines weaving through it, they can moderate the reaction.

>Why would you need to "memorise" literally less than 10 people and 5 synths?
Because assumedly this guard wouldn't be a scientist? I can't tell what level of autism this is that you have no conception of practicality. Imagine doing the job yourself. You're paid to stand outside a room for 6 hours a day, doing nothing else. At some point you're given a list of names (and photos?) of people allowed in. If you get that list wrong, everyone on base might die.
Someone on the list gets fired. Does the exec who fired him immediately come to you and be like "by the way, one of the guys on the list is fired"? Does he put out a notice that gets spread across the site, and then your boss eventually radios you "hey, scientist #5 is fired by the way"?
Or do they just assume that, given all the cameras being monitored by Kirsh, along with the hybrids and inherent danger of the experiments in the lab, no situation would arise where someone could access them who wasn't supposed to.
And in your scenario where there's a guard and he sees the hybrid kid get mauled by the alien, what's the protocol? Who should he alert? Does he have a list? Does that list also need to be updated since presumably scientist guy is on it? Does he just sound the alarm and get other guards with no idea what to do? Do they together charge in and just start shooting, compromising billions of dollars?

Irrelevant. Unless you are so mind-numbingly stupid you think only scientists can recognise 15 people who have security access.

If only there was some real world job that entails exactly that. How do they do it?!!!

Probably during induction! It's everyone's first day as a security guard at a high level expensive laboratory!
>Someone on the list gets fired. Does the exec who fired him immediately come to you and be like "by the way, one of the guys on the list is fired"?
Yes, like an other job in the world ever. Escort him to his desk to collect his things, escort him off the property. Is this your first day on planet Earth?
>Or do they just assume that, given all the cameras being monitored by Kirsh
Yes, just assume Kirsh is solely in control of all security even when he's off site securing boy genius. Flawless. What could possibly go wrong with that plan.

So they get the list once, at induction, and never again? So they would actually let scientist in because at induction he probably would've been the first name on the list. Glad you solved that one you fucking moron
>Yes, like an other job in the world ever. Escort him to his desk to collect his things, escort him off the property. Is this your first day on planet Earth?
Are you blind? Did you not watch the scene where he was fired? You don't think anyone ever gets fired like that? You think that the only way to fire people is to escort them off the grounds immediately? And you want to accuse me of not being from earth?

Guys, I'm crying right now.

Just looking at her picture makes me feel something strange inside. I guess you could call it "love". I'm in love with Wendy. I've lost interest in all girls, besides her.

Wendy really is all I think about all day, every day. I really do cry myself to sleep at night thinking about how I'll never be with her. If only she knew I existed in this life, if only she knew my deep profound love for her. I know that will never happen though. That is the thought that makes me so sad when I look at her. I'll never be with her, but I'll continue to love her until the day I die.

Bros.. I'm thinking my iq is lowering in order to enjoy tv modern time entertainment. I used to hate how many plot holes literally everything has and couldn't watch/be dissapointed by the stupid writing. However it seems like this is dissapearing? Even tho its stupid and there were some scenes like the one where the xenomorph is struggling to catch the girl in the ship, while instantly catching/killing non-important characters Or the synth giving food to aliens. After he broke the food hatch, i thought maybe he wants to fix it so the fly doesnt get through there somehow. After that he opened the door and i thought he was gonna kneel and push it fast then close it, eventually he just went in and somehow managed to lock himself in. I thought it's retarded obviously but i quickly moved on.
Wtf is happening to me bros? Is it cause sci-fi is my favorite genre and i've had literally nothing to watch that i'm adapting to slop? Is this a good thing?

Message precedence codes. Technically those 4 extra buttons were unassigned and used for internal purposes, but this keypad was meant for a government telephone system and imagined they might be used for message precedence codes, which are used internally by the US government.

In decreasing order of precedence, they stand for:
>Flash Override (THIS IS THE PRESIDENT)
>Flash (respond within 10 minutes; nukes in the air)
>Immediate (prioritize over all other traffic, national threat)
>Priority (please handle first when possible)

While those 4 buttons remained unassigned and freely usable by multiple systems, the star and A buttons became * and # for all keypad usage by 1982. Including to this day on your cell phone keypad.

My boomer dad worked in these industries and he spergraged at a scene in the recent episode. Apparently the keypad had a dot-matrix LCD display powered by a Hitachi microcontroller from the '80s that didn't precisely match the keypad and Dad spent 20 minutes trying to figure out whether the inclusion of that particular microcontroller on a door would have been worth the adjusted cost to Boy Retard in a timeline where integrated circuit packages and nematic displays were super expensive

She is letting you do it cuz you are not a threat. If there's a threat they react instinctively and go all out.

Ocellus and the cat were clearly friends that were escaping together until the cat was mortally wounded by the crash (no way Ocellus caused that horrible crushing injury)

Yeah I've heard that before. If you want to keep all kinds of pests out of your farm, you need cats and chickens. And chickens will be doing most of the killing. Cats will be the ones who get the pests that manage to find hiding places.
>>
>>214452526
Yeah. They are faster and peck the snek in the head until it blacks out or straight up pound it to death with their feet. If there's a rooster it's his job, otherwise it's either the alpha hen or the whole flock ganging up on it. Then they eat it kek.

If you're being generous and assuming the best of the show, it means that their ships travel without going ftl so something like a wormhole or just finding 'shortcuts' (theoretical physics).

The show let you know ahead of time when the spaceship crashed into something by the moon but still surprised people on earth when it arrived there and then delicately landed down to the point that bodies in the medlab stretchers hadn't even been disturbed.

If you kept watching expecting any level of thought that's on you.

PRESENTING A NOAH HAWLEY JOINT

>>214453892
haven't watched any reviews but there is a heap of stupid stuff.

The Xenomorph being useless when ever its convenient, the prodigy company doesn't have any real explanation for why it already owns 20% of the world, every crew member in the 5th episode is 75iq and the way the aliens escape containment in the biology lab is incredibly retarded.

The kids are stupid and annoying, the brain upload thing has been done a ton of times before and isn't interesting and making the presumable villain zuck is also played out.

Mystery box?

>>214449304
What if...no listen. Just listen: you wait like 2 hours to feed the things? What would happen? Or just, I don't know, call someone to repair the door? Why get exposed to alien bacteria for no reason?

It's a meme show for shitposting. No big think required.

>>214454309
the xeno has always been inconsistent, prodigy's rise is presumably due to WY losing weyland.

>>214454352
The aliens weren't in stasis for the 30 year journey back, why even assume they need food at that point
>>
>>214450304
What about 2 guards on the door of the lab? Would that be too expensive?
>>
>>214454428
we really should get some explanation of what their existing business is for them to be so powerful, all we really see is that they make artificial organs which doesn't really seem like enough.
>>
>>214454352
its because hes an excited kid and wants to be important and provehimself, same reason he didn't take the other kid with him, its his whole character.
>>
>>214454352
Well Hawley would point out he's a kid - but wouldn't be able to say why the lab staff aren't all competent synths or just humans in protective gear. Especially when the reason for the kids was because the alien posed a threat to organic people, but then this episode we see the alien fly literally just eats robots.

you clearly haven’t been on /gif/ much. I have seen grown adults do retarded shit like this and kill themselves, or others, endlessly. And this was a fucking kid, he was like ten. Why do people like you pretend real people aren’t constantly fucking up? Turn on the news, everyday retards are crashing their cars, two poor people stabbed or shot each other. People are fucking STUPID anon.

Yeah the no protective suits doesn't make sense. Not even gloves.

That just makes whoever puts kids in charge of billion dollar aliens even more stupid. And by extension the hole plot

Yeah, I'm really hoping "very holy" jeetshitter gets ripped limb from fucking limb. I'm to the point I have to fast forward past its scenes.
