Yeah but that's not the boy's fault; he's innocent.

And yeah, sacrifice the few for the many, we all know. But it's the flippant way Olivia and the writers dealt with it that is weak. There was no mention of the ethics involved; no remorse for what will obviously kill this one innocent kid, fully aware as we all are of what the alternative is. Just because it's the right thing to do doesn't mean someone shouldn't show a little remorse over it all, a little sadness. That was lacking = WEAK.

Well said.

[sklanger]

It's not a "dilemma" other than in the most abstract philosophical sense. In the real world, you don't kill scores of people and harvest their organs just to keep one person alive.

Heck, you don't even kill a person and harvest his organs just to keep *one* person alive. So why should Olivia have agonized over what was obviously the correct path of action?

[lsixecho108]

Ok, then explain Olivia's actions in episode 10 when she chose to save Walter instead of kill a guy who she knows will destroy the whole universe? Seems like she picks and chooses to me.

[WoWplaya1223]

she also wishes she killed the guy later in the episode

[lsixecho108]

But then Broyles convinces her it was the right thing to do.

OMFG who saw the observer, too? Thumbs up if you´ve seen him!

[TVlover014]

Ahaha that is SO awesome! The observer is in the crowd!!! 3:11 That's so funny!

[ollie1471]

I didn't get how they were in the lab before astrid if they followed her?

[Julalaxsa]

You better add number of season on your title before your file mixed up and hard to find. Just a minor warning.

[MarcusAvon2]

@HyperWolfTiger They can also raise the worms in pigs

[reverseperstalsis]

there are fucking glyphs?

[GhostBusta234]

3:11 Well i guess July likes to watch So you think you can dance, and September likes to watch American Idol, i wonder if they ever have arguments about which is the better show?

[quietdisdain]

I agree w/ sklanger. The boy's mother knowingly violates the intrinsic rights using physical force to prolong the life of her son. That's not moral at all, hence there is no dilemma.

Sucks for the kid I suppose, but just because he requires something to live does not give him (or his mother) the right to violate and forcefully take it from those who possess it.
