because they choose the stupid
so grump.
But also
The entire first season could have been skipped if Ollie's father had communicated using actual words in whole sentences. One whole sentence, even. 'BTW, x is planning y, that's the thing I really need you to fix'.
And early on it looked like he wouldn't have had the time, but then they apparently had days in the raft? And it looked like he maybe didn't know the whole horrifying story, but no, the whole horrifying story is why the thing and the other thing anyway. So
He could have fixed the entire first season if Ollie's father had communicated using actual words in one whole sentence.
The plot on the island was also ridiculously lengthy and needlessly complex, but you know, that... I ceased caring about that really early on, do whatever.
