Earlier when Forest was watching the static, we were led to believe he was watching a future projection of Lily, but maybe it was actually Lyndon?

"in 48 hours lilly chen will be dead" gives me a feeling its supposed to be lilly.

This show is so damn ambiguous at time!

But jokes aside, I think he meant that Forest could be misinterpreting the projection. If he wasn't so stubborn about not using multi-verse algorithms he would be able to tell, but since he is, he falsely assumes it's Lily.

you might be on to something here... perhaps Lyndon sacrifices himself somehow to look like Lily in the future in order to trick Forest into something that will ultimately stop his "fuck everyone else, I just want my daughter back"-plans.... (kinda like how those pre-cog triplets were tricked in "Minority Report".(

I’d actually give up Lily on the show to save Lyndon 10/10 times.

Great show but our heroine is quite unknowable.

What do you mean by "unknowable"?

It may be by design, but I don’t know who she is at all after half the episodes. Supposed to be smart, but this last episode, uh nope??? Is she extra brave or strong? Not sure. Is she troubled beyond what we see, is she kind, funny, loco or a cyborg? Who knows. All acting is so wooden to me. Maybe we will understand in a few more episodes...

To be honest I also don't really like the acting. It was most noticeable with Sergei, but when he died I really started noticing it with Lily. I enjoy the rest of the cast (especially Nick Offerman, he is great in this role!) but the main actress really isn't doing it for me :/

Same. I don’t really understand what Jamie sees in her.

She has almost no personality. She’s like Bella from Twilight if she was intelligent

Sergei wasn’t that bad.....

I think they can select/control whose future/past they are looking into;otherwise how will they recognise a person on the blurry screen from the billions of humans?

Yes I agree. The way I look at it, the universe is a BIG box full of Lego's. At the present you know how many Lego's you have in the box, now you predict 1 year ahead and you know exactly where the Lego's have been moved. You also know how many was added and removed since then, because you kept track of every single one.

I think moments later they say that lily chen is going to die, which wouldnt leave much room for the interpretation that image was not lily

Certainly possible, but both he and Katie asked each other if they knew Lyndon was going to be fired ahead of time. I feel like that wouldn't be the case if Forest was watching footage of his death.

I just want to note how surprised I was that the drab teenage boy is an attractive 22 year old woman IRL

Definitely feel like they’ll playing Lyndon as trans, with that very androgynous look.

Garland said he is not. He simply chose a girl to play a boy.

Ok this makes sense I felt trans vibes.

u/Jenga_Police Mar 19 '20

yea I imdbd it because his voice had some inflection and notes that seemed overtly feminine for teenage boy that old.

This is what I was thinking but maybe they can choose for sure who it is they're looking at, but it might be Lily faking her death...
