A Bit of a Weird One

Warning: Spoilers
In "Free for All", Number Six runs in the local election against Number Two for his place and to meet Number One. A series of brainwashing tactics by his captors have Number Six actually believing his election might lead to his escape.

This one's a weird one. The plot is pretty nonsensical and disjointed. It almost feels like a collection of unrelated scenes: the speakeasy bar, the marching bands, the candidate debates. It all just feels like a fever dream.

Some parts of it are pretty cool but any political commentary they are trying to relay to the audience just gets lost in all the noise. This was my least favorite episode thus far.
