Part 8/11:
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the astronomical plot holes and nonsensical decisions in recent sci-fi and horror series, notably the Alien prequels. The panelists vent frustration over characters making absurd choices—experimenting on dangerous alien samples while unprotected, ignoring obvious safety procedures, and behaving like complete amateurs in life-threatening situations.
They mock the implausible plot devices, such as characters hacking ships from their cryo-sleep or communicating across vast distances with no technical explanation. The dialogue in shows like Alien Earth is criticized for being shallow or filled with "verbal diarrhea," lacking natural pacing and believability.
