Fair do's, I actually missed the evil counterpart bit entirely. I still think the Voq foreshadowing was pretty much spelled out
, the thought may have entered my head but must've been dismissed straight away.
I agree with the PTSD angle, why I was finding Lorca so interesting. They can't really dig themselves out of this so am a little gutted that we're gonna lose Isaacs, if he wasn't gonna stick around for more than a season then its entirely understandable though. If he stays as a 'villain of the week' character then I'll be happy with that.
Season 2 is gonna be a hard follow up too, it'll be interesting to see how the 'mystery box' show survives a season 2. I think Westworld has its work cut out in this respect n all.
You can see how/why Fuller was setting this up as an anthology series.
