Episode notes
Humanizing The Other Side

- This approach reveals David as a complex character with his own goals and flaws, moving beyond a fixed narrative viewpoint.
Location Shapes Desperation
- The location David's group inhabits is harsh with a brutal winter, making survival extremely difficult.
- This environmental factor critically shapes the group's desperate actions and mindset.
Theocratic Control vs Democracy
- David leads a theocratic, patriarchal society based on faith but with narcissistic control.
- Religion here is a tool for oppression and fear, contrasting with Jackson's secular democracy.
