  • Probably my least favorite episode of the season and it was still great. Favorite part was when Barb asks her assistant to dig more into how the cold fusion is secured then she goes into the elevator and Michael Emerson’s character says

    “You’re just a very replaceable part in this machine. But if you forget your place in the company you’ll die and so will your family.”

    This feels like the ever present threat from ruling class.

    “…We’re all in the same boat and not one of us can stop it.”

    This is what they have convinced everyone of. But really most of the time in the imperial core, especially, its “I’m too comfortable/unorganized in my class to stop it.”

    Then Barb goes on to tell the “leaders of the most powerful corporations” The only way to guarantee results is by “dropping the bomb ourselves.”

    This is when you become a class traitor and in this situation a traitor to humanity. This is obviously put to an extreme level about dropping atomic bombs and yet smaller decisions like this happen everyday with this exact sort of logic and timeline.

    That’s a specific meta onto our society, but there’s more there within the plot and motif of the overall show that could be expanded upon.
