Spoilers Alien Earth (2025 Hulu show)

[MarcKyle1964]

Spaceship crashes being totally no big deal is becoming an overused trope of late.

I've noticed that, which only means that I'll just notice it more and more. Whatever happened to technical and scientific advisors anyway?

Look at the crash site of airliners which impact straight down (more or less) as opposed to crash landing. It makes a crater, and not much is intact. And that's a 100 tonne aircraft at 700 mph. Now upscale that to Maginot mass and velocity. I keep thinking Tsar Bomba level explosion.

Whatever happened to technical and scientific advisors anyway?

Movie makers have always taken the advice when they want to. That's why it's "advice" and not "orders"

Whatever you call the machine that makes sparks, you know the one from all those 1980s music videos, they certainly got a lot of use out of it for this show!
