You know, it felt to me like the first time that it was running off the rails a little bit, you know, just like, do they know what they're doing here?

Do they know where they're going?

I lost a little confidence in the roadmap and just like the plot mechanics of that episode.

And I know it's, you know, it's sci-fi.

It's just you can kind of accept it or not.

But the whole, like, you know, it's the indestructible bunker.

It's the Titanic, basically.

Like, you know, it's unsinkable.

It can't be defeated.

And then this nightmare scenario happens and there's this whole cascade of crises and suddenly the bunker ends up imploding.

But the way that that happened, when I actually stopped to think about, like, wait, why...

why is this happening exactly?

It didn't make any sense to me, really.

It's like, you know, they were trying to force the doors open by fooling the sensors, the computers, into thinking that they were running out of air.

So they just kind of like destroyed some of the sensors.

And then at the same time, the people at the tower were trying to put the place on lockdown.

And somehow those two things, it was like one person's trying to open the door, the other person's trying to close the door.

And that caused a catastrophic meltdown where it's like the reactors are melting down for some reason.

Like that's all it takes.

Like one person's pressing the door open button and the other person's pressing the door close button.
