Gotta say, I started out really irked by the android actors, but I'm starting to love how well they are playing those roles.

I have to stop watching it on TV and watched on my phone and at full brightness for this episode.

OK, I love the show so far... But one thing really dragged me out of this episode. we know roughly topography of the area by now. We know where atheist camp is. We know crashsite is right at the foot of the mountains we see in every episode from atheist camp. We know kids were running away through the mountains. So how did they end up in the desert, and how is that the way towards the kids?

"Why do things have to die?"

"It is nature. And nature is flawed."

This episode asks the question the meaning of life and death. As Campion and the kids learn the cost of survival sometimes can only be done by killing other sentient beings; Mother who wonders what it is like to be a "creator" - an actually pregnant woman; Tempest relates to a mother; and of course the bloody struggle of leadership among Mithraics.

There's something poetic about this episode, that starts with the loss of a mouse, a small creature possession of a kid that ends with the death of a pregnant creature, who reproduces life and Ambrose the leader of Mithraic survivors who were supposedly to save his group with his faith.

"Let nature run its course."

"Nature has no course."
