Thank you for this post. I remember this from back when the ep first aired - as well as comparisons to The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin (which I have not read, but I got the basic gist).
All of which is very good, but we still don't know what they'll do with it all.
(My youngest turned 16 on Thursday and the whole weekend has been taken up with birthday things. It's all been very lovely, but I've not had the time/spoons to do anything else. I'll write up Thoughts at some point... next weekend maybe.)
