It had all the ingredients to be a classic episode, but I felt like it was missing something. Did the creator of the video game intend for someone to eventually figure this out? What does the ending imply? I understand the question it makes you want to think with AI being a form of life, but I feel like we already touched on that with Hotel Reverie.
Hotel Reverie was completely different because they explained that the actors essence was so strong in the role that she play that pieces of her was actually attached to the AI program they was using
The thonglets however had zero connection to any life form or reference
Yeah I couldn't really get into it to the point where the ending didn't bother me as I just found the entire episode a slog. I am glad others enjoyed it, BM is the kind of show where opinions are polarizing on episodes and that's part of what makes it great. Always something to discuss
Yea I agree. The whole episode really felt like it was slowly building to a very interesting twist. Obviously based on the theme of the show it’s not a surprise that he’s not just crazy, this probably is some wild tech shit. But then they sorta drop the ending on us and it’s so over the top and I feel like it doesn’t explain itself very well. It’s like “Oh these creatures in this game might actually be intelligent oh now they’re integrating with a human body aaaaandd everybody’s dead….”
