In the not-too-distant future…
Another small-scale tale attempting to send a large-scale message.
But this one resonates much more than the last because the relationship, even though only briefly established, is completely believable.
And because it raises some really difficult questions – what constitutes reality, and to what extent should we allow ourselves to escape into things other than pure reality, no matter how pleasing or comforting it might be to do so? Especially when such escape sacrifices “real” life.
When does indulgent fantasy become a perversion of real moments…moments that are best remembered as the brief but pure things of beauty that they were, and will in memory always remain?
Better than episode 3, but episode 2 looks more and more like this show’s pinnacle.
