Yes it's very good but what's with the instant genius pills ?
Seems like quite a stretch. Why would tranquillizers turn her into a genius ?
They didn't "turn her into a genius". They made her mind cloudy, which was what she needed to win.
I see , so they made her mind "cloudy". Thank you, that explains everything...
That was how she put it.
But no, the pills did not endow her with some sudden intellectual ability - she had that a priori.
So it's just another case of a critical plot point being waved off with a lame explanation then. Seems to be the new standard operating procedure.
Well... lots of people perform better on drugs. More centered, more focused, more imaginative, more inspired.
I am not sure what you are unhappy about.
It's no big deal and I've only seen two episodes so far so they might explain it a bit better in a later episode.
There’s nothing to explain. The pills didn’t turn her into a genius, she was always a genius, the pills just help her focus more.
shareYes I could understand that if it was a stimulant she was taking but not a tranquillizer.
Then you don't know what you're complaining about.
Tranquilizers relax you, help with anxiety etc.
It is very well possible that she needed them to reach a state of relaxation where she could do her "ceiling chess games", while being too tight/anxious without them.
As a paramedic with a (very) basic knowledge in pharmacology, I would not rule this out, especially not for a person that is way ahead of us in terms of brain capacity.
You're nitpicking at the wrong thing.
I think her problem is anger and the pills let her relax and let go of her anger, which allows her natural intelligence and instinct to take over.
