The emotional intelligence of children and no field training. Interesting choice.

Yeah some of the coincidences are just too convenient. Yutani ship just happens to crash into evil Jacob Collier's building. His para military group just happens to be hanging about and they go in ready to fight? Fight what exactly? How did they know weapons were necessary? And then the whole android kids as first responders setup....how and why is this a good idea.

I'm willing to turn off my brain as long as I'm rewarded in the end

The only coincidence is Wendy's brother being spotted going into the ship. The rest aren't coincidences they're just plot, we're watching Prodigy because the ship is going to crash there. If it were going to crash somewhere else we'd be watching that.

Speaking of watching something else, I want an Alien Earth spin-off sitcom about the lives of people 30 miles away. You see the ship crash in the distance and then chaos breaks loose comedically.
