I loving hated the books and I think Benioff and Weiss should go to jail for inflicting Game of Thrones on the world, but I have to admit this show is pretty good so far. They're doing a good job building up the really strange mystery.

The books and the show want to feel like hard scifi but there's enough plot holes and inconsistencies to drive a truck through. Ultimately it's just having fun with ideas so don't worry too much about consistency or if things actually make sense in reality. Overall I thought episodes 1-5 were pretty great, but 6-8 fell flat to the point where I was bored at times. After the Eye in the Sky, most of the mystery from the first few episode is answered, and it feels like the show meanders around quite a lot until the Wallfacer stuff, which was a lot of fun. Felt like that should have been the major focus of the last three episodes to keep the momentum going. Will's plot had pretty good character work, but it seemed like a small and unimportant plan to focus on. And with the Wallfacer reveal only happening in ep 8, it feels definitely like everyone else has been working on the actually important stuff. In a sense, the climax of the show already happened in episode 5, and the rest was epilogue.

Like the human computer in the game. "Load program do the mcguffin dot exe". What the hell does that mean to a bunch of people holding signs? Someone heard that a computer is a bunch of 1s and 0s happening so the human computer is a bunch of people rotating their signs back and forth. How do they know when to flip their signs? Who knows, but it looks neat I guess. Then you have the other players in each level that I guess were other scientists from around the world? Why were they such douchebags?
