2. The Passage is getting better as it goes. Doing a rather decent job of exploring why the scientists crossed various ethical boundaries and the consequences of doing so -- all in the name of the ends justifying the means. Truth of the matter is the ends never justify the means.
There's a rather good scene in one of the episodes, where Dr. Nicole Sykes is confronted by the woman she experimented on, Shauna Babcock. Shauna tells Sykes that she's the worst kind of person -- she thinks she's good, she befriended Babcock then abandoned her and locked her up, once she turned into a monster as a direct result of Sykes experiments.
The series is asking the question -- to what degree are the scientists who create the pathogens, weapons or do the experiments accountable for the consequences? If you play God, are you not accountable for massively screwing up?
Also when people play god, they have a tendency to create vampires. I rather like that metaphor.
3. Some social media is depressing. The problem with the information age -- is being inundated with information that well...I was perfectly happy not knowing anything about.
