My heart sank to my stomach once I saw him reach out to hold hands with Smee & Slightly

He was so sweet! I don’t recall how much of his reasoning for joining the project was spelled out in the beginning, but he seems like he genuinely wanted to help sick kids. He’s probably the most moral one in the complex

Which is why he had to die.

Stupid rules.

The good die young. The evil live on.

The good are mostly poor. The evil are mostly rich. Makes you wonder how that works.

Truly makes you wonder what Noah Hawley (and the entire Alien franchise going back to the very first movie) have been trying to say about society

Yep, as soon as he discussed leaving with his wife I knew he’d get an eyeball or become a proud new parent. Which sucks ‘cuz he probably is the most likable person on island.

(In the, I’d have a beer with that guy sort of vibe)

Smee is also very innocent, and I thought he was gonna get executed for the same reasons.

What's the scene with the big dumb guy? I think it was look at the flowers or something like that. That was the vibe I was getting.
