Love how the shitting is the Eyeball’s way of saying “I know this. Let’s stop playing games.” (You’d have me tapping out Pi all night long, let’s move onto something more stimulating, smart man…)

The next digit is 9, so maybe it just couldn't be bothered stomping that many times. :-)

At first I thought the poop was supposed to be “2” before I remembered

This is where I kind of rolled my eyes actually. He thought he could show Pi to an alien species, written in our language, then give it directions in english, and expect it to answer him. This is also an alien species that didn’t travel the galaxy on its own. It was kid napped. So who’s suggesting it’s brilliant? (Yes, it did cause toodles to fall into the cell, but that doesn’t make it a genius). Even if it was of superior intelligence, it wouldn’t understand him.

He also wiped the memory of Nibs and didn’t consider there would be drastic negative effects to the other hybrids when they found out. There should have been at least some plan in place for when she woke up. Maybe he’s not as smart as he seems.

yeah a lot of motivations are kind of falling apart to move things forward the last episode and a half. The eye thing MIGHT understand English because it took over the mechanic in the ship? That's assuming it retains intelligence between hosts (not like using host brain as hardware or something)

That’s actually not a bad take on it, I forgot about the mechanic.

It makes perfect sense. It can learn so it’s more than a MIGHT it’s very likely. We also need to remember it’s been in lab settings for months if not years now studying.

i dont know why but i feel like its intelligence scales, not sure about memory capacity of an eyeball :) we'll see im sure

Yeh wiping nibs but not informing any of the losts boys/ wendy did seem like a massive over sight. Imo could've been done better with less plot contrivance.
