I can make peace with that.

On the Island though? These kids werent picked at random. These Doctors and Scientists on the Villainous secret Island lair should be, one would imagine, the best of the best.

Yet they cant operate doors, they're all emotionally unstable at best, nobody seems to know WTF they're doing or why, for a place that is perpetually 'on camera' there is literally 0 oversight, nobody knows even the most basic safety procedures and protocols when it comes to dealing with Aliens...its getting a little much with the clownshoes buffoonery at this point.

So yeah, I'm with blankall, I think they're bludgeoning us to death with stupidity and incompetence that we can't just 'hand-wave' away anymore.

That cannnot be the basis of the plot of your show.
They have gone to great lengths to build up some pretty intricate setups involving the eye creature, Kirsch, Morrow, etc...but then the execution is just ultra sloppy. I feel like with just a little bit more effort they could have fixed the issues and given us a much better product.

For example, the Hybrid didn't need to just step through the cage door. They could have set it up so the door was sabotaged better, the eye bug caused a distraction again, one of the other hybrids broke protocol to set him up more, etc....If they are going to go as far as to have a character break the feeding cage door off, why not have them just sabotage the cage a bit more.
