This episode lagged a bit in the early going, and I was disappointed by the feeble exploration of "Chromes", but at least they didn't go down the parents correcting deformed or disabled fetuses road as I was fearing. Correcting all possible negative traits in a child in utero is creepy on its own, however. Treating children like fashion accessories and flawless complements to a perfect life has something of the Stepford about it.
And for all Stahl's discomfort and talk of rubbing other Chromes the wrong way, nothing happened.
I loved John's arc, though; Dorian's and Maldonado's concern for him was very well done. So was his minor spiral. So many times, the crash-and-burn is some epic, overwrought meltdown that endangers a school full of children, a hospital, a senior center, the championship dreams of the local basketball team, and the very fabric of civilization. Here, it's a car crash that injures no one. It's still scary, but it gets the point across without being bombastic.
So, Anna and the Innsyndicate have been listening. Hmm.
And what was the import behind the I.A. officer's jibe at John's father?
And why was he wearing windshield wiper glasses? Polygraph lenses?
They reminded me of this:
