So you didn't love it? How do you love the first few episodes, but think these ideas are ridiculous? I think what they're talking about is a simulated universe. I immediately thought of that when Sergei said, "this changes everything," but the creepy co-worker said, "it changes nothing." Which is what I always say when thinking about a simulated universe. Even if you found out, you still need to wake up, support your family in this "virtual" world, make money, etc. They are using quantum TIVO sort to speak. LOL! If you can rewind, that must mean we're a simulation/software that's already been completed? So you can rewind, fast forward too. He kept talking about the universe being deterministic, no true free will. That would be consistent with a completed simulation. It's not ridiculous, it's fascinating to me. To pull footage of Jesus on the cross is very eerie.

That describes about 99.99% of all science fiction. It doesn't mean I have to hate it or love it, but in this case nothing of the "scientific premise" really made sense. It was like a time travel story. I personally just cannot stand most time travel stories, but it doesn't mean I have to hate Terminator, which I enjoyed immensely. I just didn't in this case.
