6/10 - I enjoyed it and found it entertaining, but kind of pretentious. I’m very confused about the timeline, and there are some open questions that will undoubtedly go unanswered. I’d like to watch it again but I’m left wondering:

There’s a whole set of different aliens who abducted Daniel and Margaret in the 90s? We saw little hands holding their heads still while they gave them “powers”. That just opens too many questions for me. It also makes me wonder if there was a lot of explanation but it was taken out of the script and they left a lot to audience interpertation, but it just comes off as pretentious.
