Goofs

At the end of the Vanishing Point, Teddy shoots himself in the head and the shot shows blood spraying out of the side of his head opposite the pistol indicating the bullet went completely through. In The Passenger we see a shot of Delores removing a bullet that flattened itself against Teddy's central housing containing his core sphere that she has just removed from his head. If the bullet caused an exit wound it could not have flattened itself against the housing.

Perfect in its Own Way

I believe this might be the show of the century. Humans are not challenged by any other species in this world but once a species tries to, you see the results as to how they are treated. We are controlling psycho paths who destroy virus to make sure we and our children live comfortably. We are controlling psycho paths who kill based on world view and this statement can be expanded. We are controlling psycho paths who continuously develop over the land the plants and other species thrive on for our own efficiency of life so we can yet again, live comfortably. We are very powerful beings capable of destroying ourselves with simultaneous pushes of a button.

Our cornerstone..constantly is to live and destroy anything that impedes that and this statement can be scaled. This show is probably the show of century for me showing our true our true nature as direct. Its scary for us to survive, everything else..must suffer.

We...as a species will never be perfect and will never get over our tribalism. This show is too in depth for the simple minded viewer who doesn't question his or her motives.

I'm sorry this post isn't truly about the episode but what thoughts the episode provoked within me and what the interview with Jonathan Nolan also provoked.
