Anyways this is dragging on. Spoiling is just a pet peeve of mine because im a bit of a film buff.

WOTW you have to take with a grain of salt.. if you can accept that a race millions of years more advanced than ours hasn't taken mircobiology into account when running around another planet then you have to accept that their machines can stop working when they die inside and make up a bunch of excuses like maybe the machines were plugged straight into their brains unlike a car or something.
It's sci fi. theres always a level of plausible deniability. You think using humans as batteries is efficient or that a master race of machines can't use geothermal energy in the matrix? You've got to let some of the rationality out the window and take it as it comes especially with WOTW given it's place in the history of sci-fi.. we've had 60 years of technological and writing evolution to make them seem more plausible.
put down the keyboard, back away, and take a deep breath
