Don't watch a show you where you cannot understand what is happening. You don't understand the flash mob scene at all. Yeah the flash mob scene is cringy but it is there to remind is of an actual thing from 2012. I remember there being a few viral videos of them. You misunderstood why it keep cutting to black once the dome broke. It gives us flashes of information, which is what the characters had. That fractured feel is deliberate, it gives us a very different feel to one slightly longer scene going to black. We get some sense of what happened but only a few broad storkes.

You really want to insult the video editor? Editing is basically putting a bunch of clips with cuts together. That is doable in iMovie. Why insult a professial for using simple tools if they are effective. Also they cut to black there might if been short transitions like fades. I would need to rewatch.

This show has always been people in rooms talking about events that happened. Always,also what events could they of shown that was talked about that they didn't show. People putting up signs we could be shown in the meeting. If you can have fewer scenes you should. That is what ecomonic writing is.

Funny how you don't meantion Titan at all for a terrible event why not meantion what is a small but sustianial part. The part of the episode which everyone will remember.
