* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Leland [[spoiler:getting [[EyeScream stabbed through the eye]]]] in \\\"The Red Angel\\\" comes out of nowhere and is clearly meant to be a shocking moment, but it makes no logical sense -- how did [[BigBad Control]], at this point still an [[AIIsACrapshoot AI]] with no physical form, manage to create that [[spoiler:needle-thingy]] inside a retinal scanner? -- and isn\\\'t addressed at all in the next episode aside from Leland being its prisoner.
Just questioning the logic of a certain sequence or plot point is a Headscratcher. A BLAM is about a sequence that: Appears Out of Nowhere, is Strange In Context and Goes Nowhere. In this case, it\\\'s not really an example of any of these: It doesn\\\'t appear out of nowhere. It\\\'s established that Control is an AI that can manipulate machinery inside starships and bases. It\\\'s not really Strange In Context because AI and other external forces taking over people\\\'s brains and bodies is an existing thing in the show and Star Trek in general. And it doesn\\\'t go nowhere, because the fact that Leland gets taken over by use of the needle thing is a major plot point.
There sure could be a Headscratcher for \\\"What is the precise method that Control used to get that needle thing into that retinal scanner?\\\" But that\\\'s not a BLAM.
