We Should Have Seen This Coming

Dark Matter

Well that didn't make sense.

Nyx can't see the future like a pre-cog, she is data-mining to guess the most probable outcome or Cognitive Predictive Ability. That contradicts how she was able to fight 4 & 2 the very 1st time without having seen them fight in the past.

The Seers are interesting villains but having people who can see the future is always tough to have on a tv show, but I liked seeing 2 try to figure out what to do. I did not expect Milo to kill himself.

I like that Android reverted to her old state to not put the ship in danger. I liked Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra in the marauder.

An all out corporate war is coming? How is that going to work? There are a bunch of them & how do the Galactic Authority fit in? Are they really just the Public Eye?

    Not at all. In the case of her throw downs with TWO and FOUR, she is processing data (her opponent's stances, weight shifts, movements), crunching the probabilities, and then guessing on problem outcomes. Will TWO lead with her right? Will she follow up with a backhand? Is FOUR aiming high or sweeping low? She's guess correctly more times than not (which is why she can match them but is still on the receiving of a few shots). which is why she's not invincible. Over time though, yes, she will improve the more she fights them specifically.

    1. but i was talking about their 1st fight. she had nothing to base those probabilities on, unless she had seen them fight before.

      it also didn't make sense when they showed that scene of her breaking free from those seers in the hallway, she basically saw what was going to happen & to predict all those variable from 3 different men? it just seemed like a bit much. i would better believe seeing the future or reading their minds or even if she was like cassandra kain batgirl
