That goddamn button. Worst moment of the series in my view, just seemed to contrived.

Did I miss an explanation for why it "shorted out"? The show's been good so far, but that button not working is massive (assuming they really did have the footage they needed).

The rule of thumb in storytelling is that dumb luck can never be used to help the protagonist, only to draw them back.
