Constellation [Scifi, Drama, AppleTV+] (Page 1 of 2)

It probably has to do with the solar panels.  It's likely that energy from them can't be stored shipwide due to damage hence things that run on electricity depend on when the sun is shining.

^^ yepp electricity is all right, even though its unlikely to go off module by module and all at once, if current and/or voltage reach a minimum then appliances would power off - but for dramatic purposes thats absolute ok

BUT:
OXYGEN! If its in the room - it stays in the room! And they would transfer all air/oxygen from modules,she does not need to excess to recover batteries, into the modules she needs to access
Also oxygen levels dont just drop to zero in one second and can be timed. Many electrical appliances consume little amounts of oxygen, so she would shut down everything but the necessary... on and on the nonsense goes
... so for me the scenario is extremely irritating and complete nonsense, dark=no oxygen ... made me angry because it was/is on top completely unnecessary!

And she had 19h and suddenly only 5h, but only had replaced only 2 batteries? and now had 4 to go... i really dont like it when script writers and directors a so inconceivable disrespectful to viewers.... *fume* 
Sure there is meant to be some reality distortion, ok - but this is just BAD SCRIPT!

The whole battery-plot does feel very idiotically constructed as well when i think about it, why does she need to swap them. Are they broken? If they are just not fully charged they would have all the light-time to charge them (nearly 10h)... no its just trashy and seems to assume the viewers are tinybrain idiots... disgusting

... space travel can cause some people to become aware of an alternate reality which can be amplified by the CAL device and cause those close to it to slip into an alternate universe.  It's just the tired writing of not accepting those who are different and instantly considering them crazy and forcing them to take drugs, was excessively frustrating to watch throughout. Like, people didn't respond to Jo like they would in reality, with some basic questions like, what are you experiencing? what do you believe to be true? how can we help you? how can you help yourself? what do you need?, but instead they ALL responded with judgment and lack of understanding, which just left me with a sense of annoyance at the writing.  People don't just assume you're crazy then hit you with electroshock therapy, lol.  Doing THAT is crazy.

What I would've preferred and what I think most people were expecting was Jo returning to her real universe to be with her real daughter, then finding the wrong/misplaced Paul Lancaster, end of season 1, then spending season 2 devising a way (without the CAL in that universe of course) to send him back to his real universe, switchymaroo.  That would've been awesome!!!  What they did in 1x8, was create more tragedy on top of tragedy, (Fall to Fall Story Structure only works in a comedy) and left an even greater sense of hopelessness with the potential of ruining everything with a zombie storyline. meh.

What I didn't enjoy was ending on a down beat, with tragedy on top of tragedy, without having any win for any character other than the villain(s).
