    Pretentious nonsense

    This episode was borderline unwatchable. Almost painful. If this was the intention than bravo, mission accomplished. I hope this show gets better, because I really enjoyed first three episodes.

    "Imagination cuts both ways."

    A slower, more complex and emotional episode, beautifully fleshing out the characters and their relationships further.

    The interrelation and history between Thomas Newton, the CIA and OriGen becomes clearer. We learn the reason that Justin gave up her work and better understand the dysfunction in the Flood family. Further, Spencer Clay and Faraday each discover an aspect of Newton's time on earth.

    A well told story delivering a wealth of information, falling naturally into the energy technology ownership narrative. There are several fabulous performances, notably Naomie Harris as Justin, portraying a stressful re-living of a painful past experience and a touching interaction with Faraday. This delivers insight into the origin of her saviour complex.
