Spoilers ahead!
I don't know about you, but I like it when a series makes sense.
And here's the thing, up until ep4 I think, right before the Villain's Macguffins start being explained, the series was pretty good. Solid entertainment. Really. But then the device by which the Aliens have been proving humanity are revealed and explained, the series just couldn't hold its good senses.
We're talking about 2 super Ai computers that can fold to the size of a proton, and unfolded for just one of them to cover the entire planet. They can meddle with people's maind and make them see things. They can interrupt any electronic circuit, including autonomous cars, toasters, plain, watch, cellphone. You name it. They can make us see and hear whatever they want (they also made their earthling followers build a virtual reality set that hacks directly into the brain), but for some mysterious reason, they can't know what we're thinking.
And so, the plot is as follows: These aliens will be arriving in 400 years, and so their plan is to mess with all of our scientific experiments so we don't get that advanced so that when they come, they will just conquer us easy peasy. We, brave humans, finally find out about their masterfull plan, get into action, dismantle the human network they've formed over the past 30 years here on earth... and so, they reveal themselves by making appear humongous creepy eyes in the sky.
But we're fighters! And so we fight. We figure a way of kind of kick some dirt into the aliens plans by building a base on the moon. We organize and all. We're awesome. But here's the thing, with such powerful aliens devices here on earth at the aliens disposal, they could easily, waaaay easily plunder us into the most deep of the dark ages until they arrive. Before we knew abouot them, it made sense for them to walk in the shadows, now that the jig is up, it makes no sense to hold back. Just fry all of our electronics. Fry every promising human's brain. Make us see and hear things until we lose our minds, and then after 400 years, when you finally arrive at earth, you'll encounter no resistance. The end
And that's the problem with creating such a powerful Macguffin. You can't write your way out of it. You should know better "Co creators" of Game of Thrones series.
