    2:09, "There's a load of dark matter in the way." The writers obviously don't know anything about dark matter. Dark matter is invisible to all wavelengths, so there's no way it can possibly block your view. Complaining about there being too much dark matter in the way of your spaceship is like complaining there's too much air in the way of your airplane.

    Theorists: “The math shows us that there should be much more matter in the universe, but most of it is unaccounted for. We’ll call this “dark matter” since we don’t know what it is and can’t see or detect it.”

    The plot would be better if the first episode actually had the original crew mess everything up in an unclear method and then the show follows the replacement crew as they wake up to a disaster of a ship with almost every old crew member dead. This could lead to them trying to figure out what happened with the only surviving member of the old crew being unable to say or recall what happened but obviously being traumatized.

    Wouldn’t it have been so much cooler if the “surprise moon” was a ticking clock from the beginning? Like if one of the characters said something like “a massive asteroid knocked the moon out of its orbit, it’ll collide with the planet and kill everything on it in [insert time limit] but we have to risk it because it’s the only planet we can reach on our oxygen supplies.” Then you could have the danger at the end be that they ran out of time and the moon is about to crash.

They are presumably on some kind of military or exploratory vesel build by some kind of goverment organization or stright up the military. it's not like they are doing some odd jobs here and there in space like the freaking Serenity Crew. And to add to that we have a captain who had to kill her previous crew because of some kind of on board accident. You know what woul prevent that ? i dont know - maybe if they were wearing some kind of suits witch would enable them to quicly put their helmets on ? or just to enable them to go into full space suits quick?

      Radiation does make people sterile, the more often a given cell duplicates the more vulnerable it is to being damaged by radiation (as far as i understand the dna of a cell is especially vulnerable during mitosis), and in order to create sufficient numbers of sperm cells and egg cells those cells duplicate a lot.

If oxygen froze at that temperature, then most of the world wouldn't be able to breathe during the winter. It is something so basic that they still messed up. Also, I would like to point out that the atmospheric pressure of the planet is exactly the same as Earth, which for a planet with a climate that different would be nigh impossible.

    one little thing i can give the show: as a body horror artist, the nervous system exiting a person's body intact and writhing on the floor is a pretty creepy idea and visual. it feels unearned though. generally this whole show seems like cool ideas stapled together haphazardly. not only do they not fit together, but they make no sense and could only work in a fantasy scifi. unfortunately they present it like a soft scifi, going into way to much detail about things they do not understand at all.

    @dizzyroseblade Před rokem +260

    The "infrasound" thing really bothers me for several reasons that are purely based on physical implementation.
    For one, pigeons and elephants can PERCEIVE infrasound, but they don't commonly USE it to communicate in a meaningful way. So playing pigeon noises wouldn't matter because those noises wouldn't be "in infrasound" - the fact we can hear the pigeon noises literally means they AREN'T substantially in an audible range outside our own hearing. Further, the SPEAKERS playing the sounds are probably not tuned to such a range because almost no speakers ever made would be in a range *people can't hear* - they're speakers, the *point is to hear them*. Now, headphones commonly do include pretty wide ranges beyond what's "commonly" distinct and audible, notably a lot of "bass heavy" headphones will go down to 5Hz, but the purpose of that is the vibration it creates, which we can FEEL. The speakers shown in the show are isolated in a way that eliminates that reverberation - meaning even IF there's a meaningful amount of sub-20Hz frequency in the recording (there isn't), it's dying in the air and not in any way being actually transferred to the alien object. They brought up whales - whales can use extremely low (not infrasound, still) frequencies to communicate because they're in saltwater, a phenomenal carrier of "waveform" energy like sound, color (whole different rant about how colors die in water, fascinating though), electricity, etc. But stuff like that dies in clear dry air quickly. So playing these sounds on normal speakers in the regular clear air means that all the frequencies he's trying to use are dying about an inch from the speakers. The sounds are literally NOT REACHING THE ARTEFACT, they legitimately can't be, by the nature of how sound and physics works.
    The other half that's nonsense is the idea that a symphony can be "dropped to 1Hz" and "turned into infrasound" - notes are literally, not metaphorically, I mean literally determined by their Hz. For example, let's say Beethoven's Fifth starts with the notes "G-G-G-F" - the lowest frequency those can literally possibly be are "24.5Hz-24.5Hz-24.5Hz-21.83Hz" and if you played it any lower, it would be literally different notes and therefore it would NOT be Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 anymore. It would possibly not even be recognizable by aliens as TRYING to be that song. And, you'll notice, the four most distinct notes to possibly ever open a song, which anyone anywhere would recognize, can at their LOWEST only be played ABOVE 20Hz. So... NOT infrasound.
    Technically, every note on an octave is half the frequency of the equivalent note one octave up. So like, 24.5Hz is G0 and G1 would be 49Hz, G2 would be 98Hz, etc. So, by the logic, you *could* drop further octaves to something below 0, say maybe -4. In which case, G(negative four) would be 1.53125Hz - so saying "drop it to 1Hertz" would still be literal nonsense but would be an acceptable instruction to someone who knew what he actually meant by it. HOWEVER... To try to play MUSIC at that level would be impossible without playing it so slowly as to make it not music anymore - it would basically sound like playing four kick drums in a row, just four thumps and the fourth would not even sound lower like it's supposed to. The difference between playing "Beethoven's Fifth" and playing just literally random notes would be, like, nothing.
    The only possible throughline for that would be if we had played those exact notes at that exact frequency into space *in the first place*... and in THAT situation it would have been silly and pointless to play literally any other rendition at first. Even setting aside the pigeon noises thing, if we played Beethoven's Fifth the normal way, there's no reason to think that playing it any other way would get a response motivated by "familiarity". If they initially had played it "in infrasound" or whatever, there would be no reason to start playing it *normally* and then "drop it down to 1Hz" - they'd have just played the literal exact same audio file they broadcast initially. Because again, why would the aliens "RECOGNIZE" different audio? You play the audio they would recognize, not NEW audio, not different pitches, not birds and elephants. And no one would hear or feel it happen either way because the speakers can't play sounds that low and/or they're isolated in the air instead of sitting on the ground like a SUBWOOFER NEEDS TO.
    It's just such a complete, across-the-board misunderstanding of both advanced and basic physical and conceptual tenets of sound and human technology. Every aspect and combination of those words, all incorrect, all at once. It's literally ALL wrong and it's crazy that the writers on a *science fiction show* all just went with it, like they assumed that either the audience of a sci-fi show wouldn't care about the science - OR - the audience of a sci-fi show wouldn't know even the most basic amount about *an extremely common hobby* like, I dunno, let's say *music and audio quality*. Anyone who's ever mixed a song or a video would hear that scene and just want to vomit eeeeeverywhere.
    So basically Jay is a hero for sitting through that and then continuing.

      Wow, this was really informative. The first part about pigeons was really intuitive and I immediately thought "I can hear pigeons normally." I'm not a musician, or an audiophile, so the rest was new to me. But then again, the second part is really intuitive. If the original broadcast was normal, then either they wouldn't recognize the an altered version of it (because they heard the original version and would recognize that), or would somehow hear the original version in an altered context already (because they magically just interpret regular music as some infrasound nonsense). So, really, the writers failed in unimaginable ways. No matter which way you interpret their meaning, they are wrong. That's a really low bar to hit: being wrong in every possible scenario. It's actually kinda impressive.

No time for cherry picking and the artifact landing was at that time a potential alien invasion so people were rushed and everybody probably went nuts in the face of a higher intelligent being who could possibly obliterate the entire earth. Even if they were trained to deal with potential threat situations with aliens, they weren’t particularly trained for this type of alien, this powerful and calculating. Basically imagination can run wild for some people and they didn’t have an idea on the scale of the aliens’ capabilities so combined with fear of death that made them take irrational decisions and actions.

The problem is that it's much harder to write great realistic characters, than it is to write cheap characters, who can freely break any set of rules for the sake of entertainment.
      I wouldn't even have a problem with this, if the show went balls to the walls with the "cheap entertainment". I only have a problem with it when shows like these try to ride the middle.

The rest of the season is actually about a group of people making a really bad scifi show. The viewer can actually follow along with the plot of the show within the show, but only by piecing together snippets from the writing room, or the beginnings or ends of shots, or the actors complaining about the stupid plot points. But the real story is in the mishaps and relationships of the people making it.

The aliens' motives and other behavior don't make a lick of sense, but their method of initially communicating with humans is kind of brilliant. Using a signal we sent out (the 5th) as a base ensures that they are speaking a language we understand. In order to give us their own message, they embed it in our signal as a difference between the original and their signal. It's not a bad idea at all.
