- TriviaThe underlying story of this episode alludes to a popular parable, "The Man Who Gave Away Everything". It is described in detail in an an episode of Fargo, Season 1 (2014), as told by Colin Hanks' character: "A rich man opens the paper one day, he sees the world is full of misery. He says, "I have money, I can help." So he gives away all of his money. But it's not enough. The people are still suffering. One day the man sees another article, he decides he was foolish to think just giving money was enough. So he goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, i want to donate a kidney." The doctors do the surgery, it's a complete success. After, he knows he should feel good, but he doesn't, for people are still suffering. So he goes back to the doctor. He says, "Doctor, this time I want to give it all." The doctor says, "What does that mean, give it all?" He says, "This time I want to donate my liver, but not just my liver. I want to donate my heart, but not just my heart. I want to donate my corneas, but not just my corneas. I want to give it all away. Everything I am, all that I have." The doctor says, "A kidney is one thing but you can't give away your whole body piece by piece, that's suicide." And he sends the man home. But the man cannot live knowing that people are suffering and he could help. So he gives the one thing he has left, his life."
- GoofsIndividuals with Cystic Fibrosis do not benefit from the transplantation of a single lobe of a lung. The right lung has three large lobes. And the left lobe has two. So donating a single lobe of a lung would do very little good for these kinds of patients. They wouldn't even benefit from a single lung transplant. Cystic Fibrosis that is treated with a lung transplantation involves resecting both affected lungs, and transplanting in a right and a left lung. It is imperative that these patients receive two lungs.

He Just Keeps On Giving
I will admit the concept did seem pretty odd but reading it the first time, it fascinated me on how the story would go. Thankfully, the episode didn't go too over-the-top with this concept. This episode was pretty good, in my opinion. The plot is fascinating and once we realize the villain's motives and overall character, it is a bit of a surprise. I also liked how this time, the antagonist had a pretty unconventional motive that's not often seen in shows like this as well. Acting is pretty good and I do always like seeing Goren's personality come into play. Cinematography is pretty good overall.
"Ex Stasis" was a great episode mainly because of its unconventional plot and antagonist. It was interesting to see both of these elements portrayed and I do always like the final confession scenes with Goren and seeing how he gets a suspect to confess. Otherwise, great episode with a well-executed concept.
