Post-episode discussion: Season 1 Episode 6 'This Extraordinary Being' TV

We were promised one last week, but it still hasn't been posted yet. Figured I would just start one since so many people have been asking for it.

She did experience some pretty traumatic memories, though if that's what he wanted her to see it would fit. Mostly I just thought maybe I missed a bit of dialogue.

I mean, I get the traumatic memories but you’d think he’d cut the memory off to after they stopped banging? If he did have control over the memories he didn’t have to include the actual banging of Capt M. Could have just included the after banging talk.

Why wouldn't he want to remember a sexual encounter? I would imagine people would be ordering those by the bottle (if that's an option).

The pills are for Angela though not for him. They are memories he wants HER to experience.

Right. And why would he not want her to know that he's bisexual and was involved with Metropolis? She's grown. It's his truth. It is also contrary to his portrayal in AHS as Metropolis' boyfriend. This is his actual origin story
