Why incinerate the entire room?


Am I missing something? They terminate the Delos hybrid remotely and then incinerate his living quarters? It just seems like a massive PITA. Replace all that shit and fix the fire damage each time. Why bother. Just because they thought it would look cool?

I'd understand if there was some biological hazard they had to contain and didn't want spreading to the outside world but William was happy strolling in there each time with no protective gear e.t.c

You're not missing something. But the writers clearly are.

It’s nonsensical. I assume that they thought it was visually compelling.

Increasingly, Season 2 feels like a very polished mistake. I was able to predict the course of tonight’s episode several minutes before it concluded.

Exactly because they thought it would look cool. This scene, you know, is supposed to remind the viewers of all those powerful, overwhelmingly tragic, heartbreaking shots from the Holocaust movies.
