Human Is

What i see from professional reviewers and from the watchers, fans or otherwise, is a distinction between people who like hard-boiled science fiction and those who want their science fiction politically corrected until it looks like "San Junipero". I prefer raw, hard-boiled sci-fi. "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep" is a a good example of Philip K. Dick's writing versus the produced-for-the-masses teleplay -- Blade Runner was an upbeat story with a happy ending compared to the book it was inspired by.....

Excellent episode which asks, what is love? What does it mean? When you find it in the least likely place, do you turn away from it? Brian Cranston does an excellent job of portraying his character. The emotions of both the leads are intense.

What some are missing as they criticize the conclusion of this episode is that the military entity here is not much different that some sort of unyielding, single minded group. Since these people are dependent on a substance necessary to their existence, they feel they can go to another planet and rape the resources of those people. When they meet resistance, they people they are stealing from try to defend themselves and keep what is theirs. It is stated early on that they have no interest in any sort of agreement or negotiations. So the others are seen as evil. Well, in the process of escaping, Bryan Cranston's comes back a different man. Of course, he is seen as having been infiltrated by the enemy. While the conclusion was a bit predictable, I still thought it was pretty good.

We get a great episode. Bryan Cranston and Essie Davis are fantastic and give their roles a real sense of character. The visuals are not top of the line, but they have a unique and consistent vibe that matches the story wonderfully. Wow. Loved this episode! Really different. So unique. 9/10

Bryan Cranston plays Silas Merick, a brave army officer in a future desolate Earth now called Terra.

He is also a jerk who treats his wife Vera coldly and callously. Vera finds comfort in an underground sex club and jogging in a virtual reality world.

Terra is at war with the planet Rexor IV. Although it seems the humans are the aggressors exploiting Rexor's resources for themselves.

Following a bloody battle with the aliens in Rexor, Silas returns as a changed man. He is warm, loving and kind to Vera. He is also accused of being a metamorph and stands trial.

The drama has a nice twist by Vera who exploits the propaganda given in his testimony by General Elin. It is something reminiscent of Star Trek.
