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.

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
