>>120744786I don't think getting him descend ti the madness was a bad idea, it sorta sets a moral point about how the train might end causing more suffering than good and how the ones that can do something about that (at least by the mere fact of being there and aknwoledge it) will act in response. Amelia is at least as fucked as Simon but less fanatic and more old, grumpy and tired (i guess getting your ass kicked by a 12yold redhead and a talking dog doesn't help to your world's perception), but what about Grace and Hazel? And One One? Might Cat feel guilt for being the almost direct responsable for this?
Problem is, it needed a bit more building. We don't have as much time of Simon slowly digging his own poze as much as Grace and Hazel are interacting, and wasting time in some unnecessary stuff doesn't help (Hazel's crying lasted too long, we should've seen more both of them comfronting Simon).
The no return point of killing Tuba works, true, but i don't buy at all Amelia's appaerance, nor Simon's seeking Cat for help w/o coming to a clearer resolution than we seen on screen - what did he concluded from Cat's metaphor about Amelia's high numbers? based on his beliefs, trusting her means he is right about the numbers, not doing it means he's wrong. But how did he coped with it? - .
