there were a lot of individual elements of WP that I liked. I’m prooobably not going to watch Season 2 because they didn’t plan on making a Season 2 -- S1 ends where the novels end (and apparently they changed the ending p significantly)

but yeah, i liked the cryonics thing, i even liked the academy subplot (even though it apparently wasn’t part of the original novels and seems shoehorned in by someone who read Lord of the Flies and completely missed the goddamn point)

what i DONT like is preachy environmentalist themes that rely on a complete misunderstanding of how science actually works. i’m tired of the villain that uses concepts of protecting humans/the environment to justify reducing the entirety of humanity to a tiny little mostly-white dollhouse over which he has complete control. like we get it, we saw it in kingsmen, watchmen, pandorum (except i really really liked pandorum), even fucking x-files and sleepy hollow pulled this dumbass card out the deck in their respective downward spirals. there’s probably a lot more but you know i just find movies and tv exhausting these days haha.
