I agree, I was merely saying that I've seen real dumb behavior out of people in real situations personally. Like, horror movie stupid. I also know people who've worked in dangerous environments around well educated people who noted equipment breakdowns and incompetence.
I can believe incompetence around dangerous materials and though it does seem TOO insecure on the show we do have some very, VERY dumb CEOs in real life. Look at OceanGate sub guy - he was told a thousand ways a thousand different times that his sub wasn't structurally sound, he even listened to the hull crack then took it back out again, it's actually baffling how many horrible, dumb, decisions he made, it defies all reason and logic. Picture him or Elon with some alien organisms. Not exactly bright individuals and corporations are notorious for cutting corners. Alien is as much about corporate greed as it is about dangerous creatures.
The ship crashing is probably the most unbelievable part to me so far. There'd be a thousand warnings and I would imagine planetary safety protocols. Also, I wanna know how they slowed it down because it had to be coming in at tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of KPH and at those speeds with that mass and whatever was fueling it it would wipe out a massive area, it would probably have worldwide implications if it was moving full speed. It'd be worse than multiple tsar bombas. It wouldn't be hard to write/show what happened, unless they're expecting us to fill in the blanks and assume the ship slowed itself upon a collision warning.
One of the part that's bothered me considerably was them jumping in the stairwell. It was unnecessarily risky, it's hard for me to picture a rescue team doing something so reckless and if they wanted them to do that it'd be easy to write a reason why, like the stairwell collapsing.
That said, I'm still enjoying it so far but the writing is hit and miss for sure.
