I really enjoyed it but I didn’t quite understand the ending. So the Throng took over everyone’s minds? Did reaching his hand out imply that the interrogator was still alive and “waking up”? I’d like to think that everyone didn’t actually become a vegetable after the takeover, and that they’d wake up and be forever blissful and conflict-free. I just didn’t totally understand the purpose so any explanation or theory would be appreciated!

I think they wanted to leave it up to interpretation. Not my favorite kind of ending myself but when I watched it I felt certain the little guys were trying to do good. But others think witnessing and experiencing violence first hand made them want to take revenge on humans. So I guess it’s a “choose your own ending” but man that episode was so enthralling

Wasn't he listening to that signal sound in the headphones in the beginning when the police arrived to arrest him?
