Who wouldn't lose their patience at this though? Days of nothing but boredom in a small space and little else; even if their intent was to starve us all to death or force us to eat rats for the rest of our lives, it is hardly worth interest even for a sub-par villainous plot.

I can't really argue with that, unfortunately. Death never seems to teach such fools, no matter how glaringly obvious their last mistake was. [i.e. the story of rachel's life as she watched people die forever in timeloops]
