Or maybe that was the entire point - Indra has been engineering a suicide move for generations. Indra just telling them so seemed to be a plot point and hand-waving it away. It didn't seem to be race since an Asian woman was a Beta. John was able to tell but I couldn't discern it. I would have wanted something obvious like why certain embryos are Gammas or Betas. John embodies what the protagonist from the book should be but because he's from the Savage Land the message falls flat because he didn't change.Ĭ-Jack-60 is more like the book protagonist but as an Epsilon he's too dumb to have this revelation without John telling him.

Going through it the show hinted at deeper discussions of what happiness means but none of it really came to fruition. I think most of those are from people who read the book and expected one of the characters to go through a cathartic transformation. She mirrored an image of the Savage leader and showed her achieving her dream using Indra. I think what's in the box is one of Indra's worlds. Seeing that the limits of Soma has been reached Indra, a program created to follow preprogrammed rules, can't do anything except continue using Soma. Soma Red goes beyond what the original researchers intended. Indra, in attempting to create the perfect society has used up all levels of Soma to give people pleasure. The Savages, wanting to stop the image of themselves as people of vices who kill at the drop of a hat, only cement their reputation by violently killing people they don't feel fits their ideals. Bernard, the only one with knowledge of this chooses to bury his head in pleasure even when seeing the ad for Savage Land 2.

The Londoners have their barrier to keep out the Savages but within the first two episodes the Savages have the Londoners caged. At the same time everyone is imprisoned by their idea of freedom. I liked how they presented the theme of how everything is on a precipice or approaching a precipice and no one knows what to do when they go over. R/television's favorite shows of all time (2022 edition) A Lieutenant Commander may be addressed as a Commander or Lieutenant Commander but never as just a Lieutenant, so either her rank insignia or the manner she is addressed by the rest of the crew is in error.>!Spoiler!!Television!< becomes Television Links Ortegas is addressed as a Lieutenant but is wearing Lieutenant Commander's strips. Either way both of their rank insignia are not matching the rank they are addressed by. Commander stripes but is addressed as a Lieutenant, but it would make more sense for her to be a Lieutenant Commander. La'an is the ship's chief of security and the ship's second officer, she is also wearing Lt.


Spock at this point is a Lieutenant but he is wearing Lieutenant Commander's stripes, a Lieutenant just has one stripe. Commander if they have not been in the position long. It is not uncommon for a ship's first officer to be a Lt.

A Lieutenant Commander's rank insignia is a full stripe under a thin stripe (in TOS it is a full stripe and a staggered stripe). Number One is introduced as "Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley" yet she is wearing the rank insignia of a full commander: two full stripes.
