Alien: Earth episode 01

Writers are just so friggin lazy.

A world/solar system run by mega corps. Nok sure.

The world's first and youngest Trillionaire running one of them. Ok sure, fine

Creates first fully human conscience transplants into androids, but only with pre-pubescent children...into adult bodies. Getting thin but ok.

And this Trillionaire just willy nilly sends this tag tag group of mentally age of, being VERY charitable *tweens* into a 9/11 disaster scenario where the oldest android person has been caught spying on her pre implant brother ( who was told she died)....who is working as a medic in the disaster. She even says this to the mission 'minder'. All while CEO being warned by Corp advisor that the loss of even one of the androids would destroy the company.

Ain't no way that mission is happening or not utterly cancelled by her actions.
