I enjoyed the series; first thing I think I've binged watched since the first Good Omens. Something about the premise bugs me though. Is it explained how the alien homeworld's system got like that? It couldn't have formed that way. As explained the planet would have been tidally disrupted, ingested or ejected long before even prokaryotes got a chance to form, let alone sentient life. Hell it probably could not have coalesced in the first place unless it formed far away and migrated in or was itself captured. Did the system capture a third star recently?

On Saul: I had the impression while watching that he was largely picked as a "lol so random" choice, given the UN Chief's speech just before that spontaneity and unpredictability were selling points of the Wallfacer concept.

In theory and if you had perfect accuracy and point-like objects... yes, you can work out the instantaneous velocities using Newtonian mechanics and multivariable calculus. But you can't have perfect accuracy down to the quantum (and relativistic) level. There's always going to be some amount of uncertainty, and errors in calculating a general-case n-body system will amplify over time to where you simply can't predict their positions far enough out.
