His “No” could be interpreted as sarcastic.
I thought it was funny that when Morck requested a car, they gave him that shitty old Ford. Later when Akram gets a car from the motor pool, it’s actually something nicer than what Morck gets to drive. I guess Morck’s crappy car is just part of Moira hijacking the special project budget for her general departmental use.
Another example:
Near the end when they suspect Merritt is being held captive somewhere on Mhor, Morck requests a helicopter so they can get there quickly, and she turns him down. After they find Merritt, who shows up in a helicopter? Moira! 
Of course. I never thought otherwise. 
I noticed that too—and I think we’re meant to. Maybe there’s a lesson in it, though I’m not entirely sure. But perhaps it goes something like this: no matter how clever you believe you are, or how deeply you feel the weight of your own existential concerns, even if you (explicitly or not) claim your humanity is somehow more enlightened—because you’ve “figured out” that humans are the most dangerous species on the planet—you should still act with civility, politeness, and respect. After all, we’re all stuck in the same absurd boat.
Did I miss a part where they explicitly said or showed how Merrit’s boyfriend died?
The police were after him for the attack on Merritt’s brother. He got on the ferry and then jumped off.
ETA: I think they talked about it when Morck and Akram went to Mhor to meet with the constable. But it came up a few times in other conversations too.
Thanks.
I finished watching this last night. I have little to add to the discussion, other than to say I enjoyed it. The final episode was very well done. Looking forward to another season.
I knew there was another question I wanted to ask. Finally remembered it. When William escapes from the “home” and runs back to his actual home, the house is abandoned with druggy punk thugs squatting in it. That didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. I’m guessing a bank held a mortgage on it, so why wouldn’t they sell it rather than just let it get vandalized?
Held in trust by the brother as heir and his ‘legal guardian’ the psychologist never signed the paperwork for reasons? Could be as simple as him throwing a fit at any mention of it and psych lady deciding to pick her battles because she already had access to his large trust. It requires a fanwank as it is never explained, but I don’t find it that much of a stretch compared to the main plot point of what happened to Merritt 
.
Merritt had her mother’s inheritance and the house was probably paid off but neglected because the deed holder was absent but not officially declared dead.
Just finished. Loved it.
But …
Well compared to a huge amount of stuff! This is a show that one can only enjoy with a huge suspension of disbelief. A beat down changes your eye color? The line of blood where Sam’s body was dragged before he was tossed off the crag wasn’t at all noticed? It would be a mistake to stop to think too much.
I was however annoyed by the official bit playing the effects of hyperbaric pressure including “hyperoxia, high carbon dioxide” …
I mean, as expository dialogue goes, I’ve heard worse…
Happened to David Bowie.
An eye injury changed the eye color of a boy I went to Sunday School with. Went from 2 brown eyes to 1 brown, 1 blue. The injury wasn’t from a beatdown, though. I think it was from a coat hanger.
I’m surprised you haven’t seen this in your medical practice.
I had the same thought about the blood trail but then remembered the climbing guy said it had rained all morning before he found the body.
I just checked with my sister to be sure - our cousin had the same thing happen. His was the coat hanger. The kid from Sunday School was a dart. The Sunday School kid lost the vision in that eye as well.
No it did not. He had anisocoria, unequal pupils with one unable to contract much. That apparently was the result of trauma, damaging pupil constriction on that side. Both irises were the same color, people just didn’t see one. It is usually noticeable in bright light as other eye constricts.
And I have never heard of that happening before looking it up just now. 36 years in practice never saw it or heard of it. But apparently it can. I can also find a few case reports that blood from trauma left iron behind darkening one side. But rare. None of an iris turning blue that I can find. Nor can I imagine a mechanism that would fit.
Anyway. The point is that I thought it was a good enough show that I didn’t mind the stuff that I thought made little sense.
It’s not what hyperoxia is.
Ah, got it.
