S01.E08: Monogamy and Futility, Part 2

John takes integration to the next level as monogamy poses new problems. While Bernard realizes his potential, Lenina questions assumptions.

It's unfortunate the series took a turn toward who lurves who. The concept of rebellion and free will is much more interesting. John's view on Lurleina having sex with others seems pretty primitive and patriarchal. His focus should be on the sacrifices she has to make as a beta. She even made an eloquent speech about it in part one. Bernard vs. John for control of a woman isn't very interesting or appropriate. The E's asking questions, and the origin of the system and its creators, is more interesting.

I was upset that they destroyed the system before they explained how it worked, how it was stable.

A Place For Everyone and Everyone In Their Place, I guess. Run by a rogue AI.

I want to know more about "The Ten".  Are there clones of them running around like the CJacks? Or are are there no more left, symbolized by the empty beach chairs?  John even drew them on his wall.

Did nobody watch this? It isn't that bad.
