Superb episode! We finally got to know how all this mess began, narrated by the person who witnessed all of it, from the very beginning. It was exhilarating to watch the events unfolding with the inevitable decay of the relationship between what are now the members of upper Management. I was absolutely thrilled when it was shown exactly when the two worlds drifted apart (such a mundane thing, who would have known?). The scene with all those rats feeding on each other was a chilling and appropriate metaphor for the current state of the relationship between both worlds. This episode was excellently executed, giving us in great detail how things turned to shit.
It's just a pity that one of the things I was looking forward to knowing the most wasn't revealed: how the flu that devastated the other world was released. Sadly, they didn't elaborate on that, and I found the short reference they made about it to be quite underwhelming.
This was one of the best "origins" episodes I've ever watched in any show and an essential narration of the background story that gave birth to this show that we know and love (well, at least I do).
