    Why, it set a more philosophical tone for the series. He’s a villain that’s completely unbeatable so your only choice is to make him bored so he goes away.

      I have no problem with this character or plot lines. I only take issue with it being in the first episode. The series is primarily about exploring new worlds and new civilizations and they managed to encounter the final boss in the first episode. It makes it seem less significant and just a common occurrence. In my opinion we should introduce the characters first under more normal circumstances that actually are common occurrences for them.

        I think it showed that the series would require characters to think outside the box. It’s not about being smarter or technologically advanced. It’s subtle, like real life.
