Just started watching this this week.

This episode started super bizarre for me. I didn't know what was going on and it seemed super cheesy. JV was in the background pissed that this episode made no sense (we were about 2 minutes in).

It was all just coasting, but once you realized the people stuck in the alter universe were conscious of the outside world and were completely enslaved to Daly and his engine, it got real interesting.

I went from feeling bad for Daly and enjoying that he had his alter universe to go to in order to blow off steam and be the big guy when he isn't in his real life to completely hating Daly and hoping somehow they could find a way to figure it out.

The whole time they were plotting and scheming and trying to pull it off, it was super tense. I expected them to fall short and be trapped forever as they have done stuff like that before.

But it all went full circle when Daly lost them and you realized he would be stuck in his own game forever...floating in the ship in space. It was great. Definitely one of their top episodes to date, I think.

Also, when Annette was sending messages to herself, it felt so frustrating knowing she didn't know a version of herself was being tortured in a game.

Then you think if it even matters and if the real her didn't feel anything, was it really a big deal...but it is her, almost like a cloned copy.

It was such a bizarre thought process.
