Good visuals, but the script is nonsense. They are really trying to invoke that warm feeling inside. Unfortunately watching Littlefinger posing as a deity, forced me to laugh. Using an unknown actor would sell it better.

( I'm not trying to be mean, that was just the impression I got. )

His character isn't a deity. I believe the background is that they're on an alien planet some time in the future and are just beginning to terraform it. They happen to be using "sufficiently advanced technology" (in the sense of Clarke's third law).

Exactly. I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s intended to be read.

For what it’s worth, I thought the dialog was excellently written. A scene like that more or less invites overwrought, ham-fisted lines but the writers exercised some remarkable restraint (and Gillen and the newcomer match it with their deliveries).

That makes more sense. The nano-bots indicate that at the start and I missed it. Still the dialogue is just so cliche, including a forced mini twist ending.

You obviously haven't watched The Wire yet then.
