![]() ![]() There's lots of other concepts shown in the series that i agree with, but its a lot to discuss in one reply. the closer we get to "singularity" more meaningless are the pleasures of the body, eating, sleeping, sex. The show revolves a lot around sex, and right now sex is overacted, i think in the future it will not be like that at all. The cloths are getting shorter and shorter, i don't agree you wouldn't like to watch breasts anymore just because breasts are becoming more common everyday, because girls are always with their legs out and i still like to look at them and appreciate looking, Although is getting more and more natural to have everything at sight. Look at girls in the beach, some are almost naked, there's naked boys and girls everywhere, the world wasn't like this 60 years ago. This is the kind of thinking that i would expect this show would bring, are you guys familiar with Jacques fresco and the Venus project? I know the soma and hierarchy are a little bit science fiction, but the rest pretty much looks like what the future will become in a long term ( maybe 20 - 30 years ? ). (A new challenge? Maybe) What was in that golden box? No idea. She transfers herself to Bernard at the end to survive and relocates to the Savage Lands. ![]() Indra predicted this and backed herself up on several people before hand. The last remaining world Controller pulls the plug literally on her before the plan is finalized. (She claims we will be “happy”) She then creates an epsilon rebellion with the hopes of wiping everyone out and absorbing their consciousness. Indra couldn’t find a livable system for humans to be stable so she, out of frustration, decides death is their most stable form. The other story, Indra, and the rebellion are created to fit modern times. The death of romance was Huxleys central theme in BNW and the show honors that. ![]() Resigned to the fact that Lelina is incapable of loving him back he sees no way to live with her or in the new world she will lead. The end was a spin on the books ending, instead of suicide being the final act of rebellion, John decides to live in the old world with a vr recording of lelina. I could go on, but I essentially the show felt like it was leading up to revealing a grand message and then doesn't. But still, the impact is not felt because none of the characters in the society see this. 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.
