Easily the worst episode in the entire show. My partner stopped it half way through and said, this makes no sense. They would send replicas out into space, not humans.
I agree. Charlie fucked up, this is just bad writing.
Halfway through the episode my friends and I were taking bets on whether it would be murder or rape.
Yeah I didn’t like this episode either, well it was entertaining but totally fucked up and pointless. Crap ending, just made me sad inside.
The acting in great. The violence and gore is mostly off screen and we just see the reaction to it. The ending - will they just continue to work together because the only way they get back home is if they work together? I imagine this is a PR nightmare for the people in charge of the mission 😄.
All Cliff had to do was to not taunt the man.
That ending made no sense? Why would he do that?
My interpretation is David coped with his grief and loneliness by living Cliff’s life. Now that he’s cut off, he’s alone again. Even though there is still Cliff, other than the fact that they had a fallout, David said Cliff doesn’t know what it’s like to be him. The only way for David to not feel alone again is get Cliff to experience losing everything as he did, and to suffer as he does, so he has a companion who he can relate to and understand his pain to spend the next four years with, and they either live through the rest of the mission together or die together. Misery loves company.
Cliff’s kid died thinking his father was murdering him. It is not the same, I’d doom tbe mission before I’d take that chair.
Maybe because he believed that she said those things about him. Or maybe because he wanted him to know what it is like to lose everything.
