Given Maura's background as a brain specialist and the episode's focus on electrical impulses, I couldn't help but wonder whether it adds credence to the simulation theory. The initial sequence always being a dream followed by an abrupt "Wake Up," surely hinting at an external force having some control? The show has used this formula for the last three episodes. Do I hear Maura's voice saying, "Wake up!"? The voice sounds just like her, and because she's a doctor, the message must have some significance. Later in the episode, though, a few additional details are introduced that might throw a wrench into the whole simulation theory: why is Maura listed as a passenger on the # Prometheus, and why is Eyk Larsen the ship's captain? Parallel timelines? Is this the "afterlife" after they've died? In the episode's climax, Daniel makes the Kerberos vanish, proving that he and the first mate, Sebastian, have some control over this reality. Don't know what the hell's going on, but I'm here for it.

Rating: 8.2/10 (Great)

As we approach nearly half point of this series, it's now getting more and more lucid that the two vessels are both connected. Still, intimating about a third boat as well does throw a certain measure of mystery into the fold, and it could be connected with the triangle too, especially given the three vertex on that shape.

This time We Have a Sharp Look at Ling- Yi and the metaphorical and literal thrall she's by is clear to know and seeing her troubled past helps to flesh out further of her history.

There is a lot of Significant Implicit with this series and the writing is precisely starting to Stretched up a nominally now. With the boat evidently gone and the passengers on the verge of insurgency and going crazed, everything here's resting perilously on a Knife's edge.

1. Ling Yi poisons 2. Lucien has a stroke 3. REVOLT

I will start with the questions.

• What does the first mate know about the entire scheme? He entered the code
• Who is Henry Singleton, the British investor? Could it Maura's brother or possibly the father?

• What are the purposes of the deaths?

• Why is Maura on the passenger list of Prometheus?

• What is the purpose of the device and how did Kerberos just disappear?

I am loving this series so far. I am very impressed of their pacing and the time management of the story. Feels like every secondary character has enough substance for the viewer to be interested. We got to find out a lot about Ling Yi and I think her story is great. Some sort of a pimp, Mrs. Wilson is.

I love it when two characters that don't speak each others language interact. It really highlights the multilingual aspect, which I think is working quite well. Haven't seen a show do this really.

We also learn that the triangle is the company's symbol. It's literally everywhere. Clemence's earrings are triagnle shaped. The kimono that Ling Yi wears also has a triangle. Perhaps they are all props to some sort of a simulation because they all come from different places and they can't all be coincidence.

The overall mood, augmented by the consistently fantastic music/sound effects, is pretty good too. Bends the border between reality and fantasy pretty well. It maintains a certain level of spook consistently and I am impressed by that. So far, I cannot predict anything that's going to happen and usually I can. Loving it!

I really don't know how many stars I should give to this episode.

I found myself many times trying to fast forward.

Is there any meaning to the story the gay men and the sex they had? Is there any meaning to the plot the death of the girl or what's happening in the ship's barracs? Don't know, but I didn't understand many instances and the meaning of why they were there.

I get that if you did something bad before you board the ship somehow will force you to face your sins... And there is a mystery regarding some reforms the new owners did on the two ships, but I really don't like when two characters join together to find clues and then one hiding a clue to the other.. that's exasperating, that creates more drama so that more chapters will continue.

I notice many rich people with the same clothes since episode 1...

There are 2 characters that were together but we find out about it on this episode... let's see what they are all about.

When I saw 2 other character with the letter made by the same person I knew it is that kind of Locked-room mystery.

The atmosphere is dense, dark and mysterious. Seems like there is more weird things yet to come.

The episode ends deep in more mystery but the music at the end, like in the other episodes, is not well put and it is awful.

So now we wondering if the company didnt want to hide things about the boats that their own. But we dont really know yet. And the story about the japanese girls are pretty strange: we dont really know who they are. The captain is seeking the book of the other captain on the prometheus with the doctor.

Im still not convinced about the episode and the story. Im still wondering what happened and try to know more the characters and what they are hiding but its pretty superficial now. We still dont know who is that boy. The slow paced is pretty annoying and we dont learn something really pertinent to make things going and let us know more and get us pretty intetested by the story. And the visions with that japanese girl just make us wondering and make some theories but nothing more: we cant really guess. That dont help to make us know what happened for now its pretty frustrating. The most interesting parts are when they are in the Prometheus Ship but even there we dont really know much more about the company or the people who was there. I just felt the episode looked a waste of time really. The story get pretty confusing and make us more wondering than anything else and im not a huge fan of it.

The man who escaped prometheus willl find the little boy and we will know that they are looking for something together on the other boat and we still wondering what is it. And the captain will get attacked at the end.

It really is a curious show slowly revealing its secrets over many languages. Not a fan of two dudes getting it on truth be told, and not sure how the steerage class is getting all its intel when they cant even wash their faces. Nor do I understand why everyone seems to be allowed everywhere on the ship, but Maura is like second in command cause she studies brains? And if taking care of the boy means leaving him in locked in room while she and captain row themselves very slowly to ghost ship only to find a manifest conveniently not consumed by flames. Seems like they all did something bad and are being punished except my favorite and brightest character of the lot the little blonde girl...wth? Why no one questions this stranger but is beating down doors to get to the kid (again psycho religious dutch woman, how do you know anything?) Why all the guns? One minute you are locked up, the next you are free just wandering around or staring off into the distance with no one around or surrounded by all the main characters saying WTH?

Guy with his little remote control device makes me suspect there is some alien or time travel component to it all, but really who knows? Kid needs to say something as well as others to move this thing along before they run out of coal, or maybe Maura can just row to Prometheus and grab a bucket and row back.
