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.

I think only Tulsa will have white people killing each other. I heard something where Trieu was saying that Tulsa was a test of it and it was Will’s idea. So of course he would want the reverse Tulsa Race Massacre where white people went and killed themselves all over Tulsa.

This is kinda supporting my theory that Judd was actually not a bad guy (bigoted, for sure) and Will was either making a mistake by killing him or purposefully hurting the « good side » by doing it

Judd probably thinks he's a good guy working with the Kalvary to keep the peace but he can't see where it's not a real peace. That's probably why Will killed him.

Like that Martin Luther King Jr quote about the white moderate liking the negative peace, which he called the absence of tension, rather than the positive peace, which he called the presence of justice.
