PostNouveau posted:It's authorial fiat on the level of, like, a kid drawing a tank that has lasers and can fly. That was my take on it too. I was annoyed with this in the same way I was annoyed with The West Wing. It's contrived as hell but doesn't acknowledge it. It's like someone dressed up Doctor Who as Apollo 13 for Halloween.

They knew it was carrying a shipment of hard-boiled eggs. Also I lol'd when the wreckage caught fire. Great job not endangering the hard drive.

Tarnop posted:I always kind of assumed that this worked in a similar way to making Saul a Wallfacer. If the aliens want Auggie dead then people making plans against the aliens will be biased towards plans that use tech she's working on because it must be dangerous to the aliens' plans, because they want her dead The aliens have limited prescience because they float in a cloud of psychoactive drugs. They detected a vertex around

discoukulele posted:I was worried they would dumb it down, but they didn't really dumb anything down as much as present things in a way where you can go "oh, obviously these people know what they're talking about" without pages and pages of scientific exposition. Without the scientific exposition, the only difference in the presentation between someone who "knows what they're talking about" and someone who is "dumber than a sack of hammers" is whether or not the author decided that their plan actually works.
