hot take, Ricky is knowledge without wisdom; but also there to show who Lindy is even when she's not being racist.

Ricky was only just stepping up when we meet him. We know one of the earliest people to die was over a week ago, and Ricky was trying to warn people - but his videos about it kept being deleted. Fair enough, it makes sense to try videos so you can warn everyone at once.

But what has he been doing since then? Lindy seems to be the first person he's helped - possibly because people had the bubble up, but he doesn't indicate he's tried anything other than the videos.

He knew about the conduits, how to contact the homeworld, pulse codes, the history of the planet (so possibly even information about the slugs) - but he didn't apply any of it. What good did knowing things do him when the facts just sat there? Everyone knows who he is, so he could have messaged pretty much anyone to try and tell them directly - which is what the Doctor did - but he didn't.

He might be less terrible than Lindy as he doesn't spend all day in the bubble, but he's still a product of the society that raised him.

Lindy trusts him immediately because he's One Of Them and he's also got clout and status - she's more co-operative with Ruby, sure; but she's incredibly rude to her at first and doesn't trust her. As soon as she sees Ricky, she's excited and nice to him - but she said to him that this was the best day of her life. He pointed out that thousands of people are still dying, and she brushes it off because that's just not important to her.

She expresses worry for her friends - or so it seems. I'd argue that actually, she only cares about them as it would mean she doesn't have anyone to talk to. We're shown exactly who she is when the dot comes after her, and she throws Ricky to the wolves to save herself. She loves him, he's famous and handsome and everything he's meant to be - he saved her and helped her, he is One Of Them. And she kills him.

She is completely convinced of her own superiority, and she's utterly self-centred. They all seem to be. They meet a new guy at the end and his first concern is who should be their leader (and he immediately suggests himself). They scoff at the doctor trying to help them; and after working two hours per day and complaining about being required to do literally anything, they think they can fend for themselves in the wilderness?

These people will Lord of the Flies each other inside of a week, and they won't even blink. She's just killed a huge celebrity (the only thing she responds to in any way) and lies to everyone about it without any feelings. She's not guilty. She's not sad.

They're all on the boat and going to die, sure. But it's not going to be the wilderness that does it.

It's gonna be a looong time before we stop noticing more details here

Yeah, it felt really weird in the moment how Doctor-like Ricky wound up being, and while of course he already has that reputation as a celeb, at the same time we can see first-hand that Lindy is a lot more cooperative with Ruby anyway

kinda thinking about neil's gunshot and how we don't hear it. totally silent. it reminds of the "if a tree falls in the woods" question. neil dying alone in the middle of his father's study.

and it's such a loud weapon, too, which makes it seem all the more intentional that it was cut out. in his last moments he went out with a bang, but nearly no one hears it.

even before the night of the play: his friends and keating independently told him to just talk, and perhaps he'll get what he wants — but he knows that's impossible. no one else truly understood. they didn't really hear him.

just like rebelling against his father to be in the play: did it matter if he was found out anyway? he knew when he was caught that it was over no matter what. does his death mean anything if the only one to hear the shot was the very same man who controlled every aspect of his life?

if neil falls and no one is around to hear the gunshot, did he contribute a verse?
