6/10
too predictable

This one I did not like. It was disturbing and the concept was good and interesting in theory. In practice, the episode was only interesting at the beginning. Since the hippies attack, it was almost all predictable but I did not thought Josh Harnett would kill anyone, at least not at first. . I had 2 theories about the ending. That Aaron Paul character would kill the other one out of jealousy and then accept that he would be at risk of dying himself alone (or perhaps be replaced, we never knew how far away they are in the station). The other theory was that Harnett would kill Paul and take his body. That is what gave me more options for the true ending, like Kate Mare realized who he was and she denounced the thing to the authorities, or Harnett realized he has been discovered and kill her, or other options.

I still do not know why the story took place in the past, instead of the future. Whatever the case, it was too long and boring for moments. I think Aaron Paul did an excellent job and the rest of the cast were quite good too. But the writing is not too good.
