Episode 6, season 2.. One of the best shows..


I absolutely loved this, how the entire thing was concocted.

What a sad, yet thrilling journey..

Shame it's been cancelled. Only the best die young... :/

I wish they had addressed on the episode how exactly the quantum entanglement happened, the computer overloads and created a new universe or a bridge to an alternate? I can't even recall what the computer was controlling or doing...

Yes, the science was given short
shrift, to the benefit of what I think was more important, the interpersonal dynamics: One daughter lives, the countetpart’s daughter dies, making one counterpart into a monster. I don’t think it rewards us to belabor an understanding of what Hitchcock called The McGuffin. The duplication happened, period. What truly matters is the human interactions that followed the transformation. Bluntly, who
cares about the minutia of the science? I don’t! I care about what the people did in its aftermath , and so does the series. I can’t speak from experience, praise Him!, but I truly believe that there is no other pain that equals the loss of your child.
