kryss July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 I figured she tried to hook up with him purely out of convenience. She'd been through a trauma and was looking for *something*. She had no feelings for him, and he certainly didn't present as someone to get caught up emotionally, or to object to a no strings attached encounter. A kind of clinical transaction, minimising the potential for consequences. I also thought he turned her down on account of One rather than any concern regarding the virus. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28716-s01e05-episode-five/page/2/#findComment-1336866

AudienceofOne July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 Zombies and a random contrived hook-up? Sheesh, guys. You usually keep this stuff for the ideas drought in season 3. The Two/Three hookup came out of nowhere. There hasn't been a single moment between the two that even hinted at the possibility of it. I was expecting Two to say at the end that Three was lying to mess with One. Because... really? You have to telegraph these things to the audience a little. What was most annoying was that the plotline of Two, having woken up with amnesia and no idea who she is and really liking One and freaking out about it and sleeping with Three instead is an idea that works. But this was the worst execution ever. I like One, too. We can have a very tiny, exclusive club. But I'm a sucker for good guys, and I'm intrigued by someone whose instinct seems to be to be good but who was impersonating a really bad guy. I did like One, quite a lot actually, but now he's starting to verge on NICE GUY. And we all know where that ends up.

CletusMusashi October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 (edited) It seems to me that One could easily be killed off, and all they'd have to do to fill the void would be make 5 and/or 6 a little bit preachier, while still leaving their useful aspects intact. And Three could be killed off, and all they'd have to do would be make 4 more talkative. So this constant pairing up of 1 and 3 just strikes me as doubly useless. I assume that the reason 2 didn't use her gun was the same reason 1 wanted 3 to lghten up on his: namely, that hundreds of years in the future, professional mercenaries who fight on spaceships will not be aware that deadly but low-penetration "safety ammo" has been in mass production since the 20th century. I mean, I get that when you're watching an action show you've got to put some of your real-life tech knowledge aside, but... let's say that the world really is as the writers believe, and all bullets can go through a spaceship hull. Isn't that maybe a reason to have some other weapon for the inevitable weekly spaceship fights? A low-powered laser, some sort of stun gun, anything that you can use without killing yourself along with your enemy? The stupidity of most of these people's weapon choices is actually making 4's look brilliant.
