What could have been...
This was a really great and fun episode that is a little disappointing because it was definitely a filler episode that had nothing to do with the main plot of the season but it still was a really amazing stand-alone episode. It was such an interesting episode because the way I interpreted the episode it was all focused on David's broken mind coming up with ways to cope with the loss of his sister and in that he created multiple realities to see different ways his and his sister's lives could have gone. I really don't know how to describe this episode as a whole so I'm going to break it down between the five different lives of David that we are introduced to. The first one is a life where David somehow becomes the richest man in the world and because he is so focused on work he has little of a relationship with his sister and this was an interesting life to see because it showed a bit of an evil side to David that I hope gets explored a bit more. Then there is a version of David where he is completely taken over by his illness and is homeless because of it and this was a great life to see just how out of control David's powers could be. Then there is the life where David is taken over by the drugs to stop his illness and in that life, he is more like a sleepy robot but it is also the life where he has the closest relationship to his sister. The life that I wish they would have gone more into detail with was the version of David where he is at a dinner talking about multiple realities and he really seems like a version of David where his own self-medication from illegal drugs have taken over his life. I wish they would have gone into more detail with this version to show more of what his life is like and what his relationship with his sister is like but still, it is kind of understandable why we got very little of this version because he kind of served as a narrator for the whole episode. Finally, there was the David we already know and have been following from the beginning but this episode gave more detail of Davids relationship with his sister and some events all leading up to him going to Clockworks which was so interesting to see. Then it was really interesting with how each of the version of David dying at some point in the episode except for the David we know so I'm wondering how much is that foreshadowing that for everyone to live in peace David has to die. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and amazing episode to watch and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.
