Yeah, and this is the point that many seem to be missing. What is happening in the text is not the same as what the text is actually saying, and the text is not saying that Oswald Danes is right. The disconnect between him being despicable as a person and him being revered is precisely what the text is going for and what "GLORIFYING PEDOPHILIA" misses as a criticism.
Yeah, I had the same "oh shit" reaction to Rhys' mention of "burn units". Poor Vera had quickly become one of my favourites and I am sad to see her go and doubly sad that it was in such a godawful, terrifying-as-all-fuck manner. It was definitely very real though and I will argue strongly against anyone who says otherwise.
They do keep implying that someone from Jack's past is involved, and I can't tell yt if that means someone we as viewers should know or just someone Jack as a character should know, since his past is not something we actually know much at all about. And yeah the guy talking to Jilly was definitely creepy and presumably connected to the mysterious triangle people lol.
Yeah, I don't know what happens to the people after they're burned? It seems that the bodies don't heal themselves -- the suicide bomber in episode 1 didn't -- but they also can't "die" so do they just... someow... stay a conscious pile of ashes? Or...?
