I was aware this series went off rails starting this episode, but I didn't know the details, and this wasn't even on my mind when I was viewing. The Trantor storyline was gripping, and onboard the exile ship the crew trained in sims. Everything felt normal. Until you-know-what happened. Like, why!? There's no reason, there's no sense! Just because individual actions didn't matter the writers decided they could do whatever the heck they wanted, just because? I usually see bad writing as comedy that I can laugh at and ridicule. But this... words escape me. This is arguably the first time I am so upset by a plot twist that I wanted to punch something. So senseless!
