I don’t see how sending in Special Ops would have been bloodier than eviscerating an entire ship….
It wasn't so much the bloodier thing, it was that it would be super easy for the alien lovers to destroy the information that the "good guys" were looking to obtain if an assault were taking place. Of course, they got pretty lucky with not slicing the hard drive in half with the fibers. That would have been awkward.
About the series in general:
I read the books, and honestly I feel the show did a pretty good job of presenting some fairly difficult concepts to the average retard. Like the people I work with. Some of them have trouble with basic math, but they were able to more or less follow along with this show. The books were super dry and difficult to read, particularly since all the Chinese names were incredibly difficult for me to keep straight, particularly characters that disappeared for lengths of time and then popped back up. I loved the concept of the overall story, but it was a slog to get through some of it. That's why I'm fairly happy that the series is making it more digestible, because I think it is a cool concept that not enough people would ever know about if only the books existed.
I do have to say that it annoys me that the hottest chick on the show is also the one I wish were murdered the most. She's so fucking annoying. Yeah, I get that it would be traumatizing to know your invention massacred a ton of people, including children. And maybe I even get that she felt compelled to go look at the results as penance or something. But that doesn't mean I enjoy listening to her be a massive cunt during and afterward.
I don't remember any of their names because why would I, but the black guy that becomes the Wallfacer. I wonder if they will do that entire part with the girl of his dreams. It is pretty fucking important to his character, but I can see the woke mob thinking it is super misogynistic. I'm surprised they didn't make him gay so they could redo that arc with tons of faggotry. But I can see them skipping that entire arc because it is "problematic" or some bullshit. Furthermore, the way they've created the characters in the show, his perfect girl would just be played by the super hot monofilament cunt anyway, because he's clearly in love with her, right?
Anyway, I enjoyed the series despite all of its flaws, because I felt it got a lot of the major points across without being too complicated for average people. I wish most of the characters weren't so annoying and unlikable, but overall it is getting the job done I guess. It could be much better, obviously, but it isn't as bad as I expected either.
