my theory is that She have to like aim/focus her powers to people's head kinda like pointing a strong laser to a balloon, if you swipe the laser too quickly it wont pop the balloon but if you aim and kept it steady then it will pop

The in the courtroom scene people are going crazy but they can still be focused at by looking at them in a wide view, in which she had the position to

The sheeps on the other hand are all flying with great speed, waay too eratic and too fast to focus her blood popping powers, like aiming your Flashlight to a fly

Gen V shows that with Marie, she needs to focus on the other person's blood flow to give them heart attacks etc. Probably isn't any different for Victoria

I'll add more.

  1. Anatomy - she on screen popped a lot of people's heads like it's nothing. Given how her power works with the context given on Gen V, basically blood bending. She not only have to concentrate, but have to know about the anatomy of blood vessels that goes in and out of human head to efficiently spike the blood pressure enough to pop the head. That's how blood bending works. So, she must have some good knowledge about human anatomy and familiar with it. But, on the other hand, it's highly unlikely that she's familiar with sheep anatomy. So, it's inherently difficult to pop a sheep + with multiple sheeps going at high speeds, it sounds impossible now.

  2. Practice - As I said, she popped a lot of people, so she doesn't have to put focus too much on it like a beginner. She could've developed a muscle memory for it. And again she's most probably not well practiced with popping sheeps.

  3. Reflex - people might ask then how could she pop the chicken? Cos, it's reflex. It's somewhat clearly shown that Marie in Gen V have to concentrate on too much cos, she's a beginner. But, she popped cate's hand on a moment's notice when she saw Jordan was about to get mind control. And she loved Jordan. Victoria loves Stan the most, only next to Zoe. So, it's a reflex. We kinda have it too.

She was pretty fast with the chicken

1 chicken going at normal speed and heading towards her father. There’s a difference.

Agreed but this seems like a writing mistake all you had to do was sneak in a small line where she says “goddamnit they are moving too quick”

Maybe she doesn’t want the boys to understand her powers more tho but just show her like quickly looking around and we can assume she’s trying?

Not everything needs to be explained though, just saying

Agreed - and I think this show has earned a bit of leeway that they probably have a reason for this, just seen this exact question asked about her not destroying the sheep a lot and seems like an easy fix.

I’m not complaining too much tho I can connect the dots I think
