If the universe is consistent to itself, or characters are consistent to themselves, than that's fine.Alien has created a universe where workers have horrific safety standards compared to our modern day. Its more like early industrial era where no one gave two craps about workers, and so basically anything goes. That does not work with our modern sensibilities, but could I imagine a future where corporations care so little for workers that the safety culture has gone out the window, and workers are so disenfranchised that they don't think about it either.... yes I can. And so if the universe continues to portray conditions like that, ok I buy it.Why the Nibs scene doesn't work to me, is that our "mother" figure not only cares about the kids, but she is supposedly a trained Psychologist and Therapist. So the idea that your going to do this mind wipe, and not prepare both Nibs afterward and the children....is just so antithetical to what her character should think to do that its jarring.</blockquote>
