He did, when?
All I remember was Morrow and the kids walking into a room and suddenly getting surrounded by Prodigy guards and then Kirsch had the chestburster in a box. When did he catch it?
It almost looked like he was gonna trade it to Morrow for the hybrids back (not sure why Morrow thought holding Slightly, who just BETRAYED Prodigy, hostage gave him any leverage but that's about par for the course for this show.
Is the redhead toast? They have NEVER explained the shock guns, what their intended use is, or why they know they work on xenos. I'm assuming they are some sort of anti-synth weapon because if they are primarily designed for stunning humans (like a taser) you'd think a hybrid would just shrug them off.
I'm also kinda surprised we have not seen any autonomous defense systems like the turret guns in Aliens. Seems like the preferred way for Kid K to 'defend' his sprawling, totally indefensible island. Would also be a great way for the hybrids to demonstrate their advanced capabilities, but........nope.
I kinda wonder how many zoos have their large predators in cages controlled by purely electronically controlled locks that default to 'open'. Seems like the kind of thing you'd want a nice beefy latch as a redundancy, or maybe even a 2 door entry chamber. OSHA is gonna have a FIELD DAY in the incident report about this lab
Speaking of zoos, it IS possible for highly professional environments to fuck up, like when that zookeeper went into the lion exhibit, thinking the lions had all been moved into their smaller feeding cages. THAT'S the sort of inspiration this show should have gone with; misdirection, subtle sabotage of secure systems, subverting the chain of command and exploiting complacency. But instead we get really hamfisted scenarios that just make EVERYONE seem incompetent.
I'm gonna rant about these hybrids for a moment as well. Other than Marcy/Wendy, we see virtually ZERO changes resulting from their advanced bodies. They mention the ability to download stuff once, but then they repeatedly seem to be clueless about simple things they should be able to learn in seconds, show little to no ability to process information and adapt faster than organics, and even seem ignorant about their bodies capabilities until moments of stress. They are mentally still children and how their intellect and emotional capacity would change with a new body is soooo under developed.
And did I miss why the brunette hybrid went crying to the psychologist? She seemed very in control when talking about her desire to stay on the island, why the breakdown and need for comfort?
I'm trying not to think too when watching this show. It is sort of a meditation of on how few thoughts my brain can still function on yet still gather information the eyes are presented. Hope the kid genius gets a third eye.
