I am talking about the scenes in episode 2 or 3 of the crew in suits doing a spacewalk, it was jaw droppingly bad. The movement was so jerky and stiff it looked like a youtube poop where someone has a still image move across the screen. The crewmember then touches a crystal which dissolves his suit's glove and it disintegrates as obvious polygons!

The scenes of the ship aren't great or anything, but that spacewalk was worse than amateur CGI animations.

I think it's time to lay the "The FX look like PS1 or 2 cutscenes" meme to rest. It's just never accurate. Even the cheapest Asylum productions looked better than that. If you go full stereotypical internet hater, at least be accurate.

This is the problem with even trying for scientific accuracy, even media that prided itself on being diamond hard usually fails(The Martian, Gravity). You've either got to commit to it, or mostly ignore it and use technobabble that feels authentic in story.

This show wants to have it both ways.

There were two rooms. One had all the qualified scientists and the other had all the interns. Everyone died in the scientist room leaving the ship with the beautiful smart people they brought along mostly as breeding stock.

It's funny how the physics work. Sections of the ship spin to simulate gravity, but apparently this generates the effect on the non-spinning parts of the ship like the bridge and bio-dome.

I haven't seen it, but a ton of sci fi has physics that don't make sense like that, The Expanse being a major exception. I think Star Trek TNG has an episode or two where they're stuck without inertia

In fairness they are using Stephanie Brown, along with Harper and Cullen Row too (they are part of the Batfamily, but only just). I do find it weird they're using Stephanie without Tim Drake though, since she's mainly one of his supporting characters. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out this Turner Hayes character ends up being revealed as Tim. It just seems strange they've created an original character for this show. It looks shit anyway, so it's not like its gonna have a high viewership, but if they had at least made him one of Bruce's already established sons then more people might watch it. It makes me think that Titans is the reason why they had to create an original character. They couldn't have two versions of the same character on different shows.
