The good things first: this episode was MUCH better than last week’s. The tension felt more real, and so did the basic premise (for a world in which people’s personalities can be wiped, anyway). We get the first hints that the brain-wipes don’t always go as well as planned, and we find out some of the backstory.
I like the character of Boyd more and more, and Topher, albeit funny, grows increasingly creepy. I’m intrigued by Alpha. I’ll keep watching next week.
BUT… I am still really worried by the depictions of women in the show. (SPOILERS after the jump!)
