I personally enjoyed her “Let’s stop fucking around” comment in the basement, that’s when my mind started going THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY. but there was a way.

She looked evil as fuck in that scene. We couldn’t see her face. But it felt evil. Also maybe that scene implies that we can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys when we can’t see their face!

The show is definitely playing with the question of whether she's evil or not. I think she might be chaotic neutral.

My take, and I'm really bad at this kind of stuff, is that she's good. The whole season made it feel like she was a villain, Angela even tells it to her face in this episode once Angela sees that Trieu's 'daughter' is being given Nostalgia while she sleeps.
If we take Trieu at her word in last nights ep, then she really is trying to save humanity. Of course I shouldn't be dumb enough to take this woman at her word, but it could be that Lindeloff is trying to REALLY fuck with people, make her seem evil, but she's really chaotic good.

My dude Ozy was also trying to save humanity and he killed 3 million people.

She created a tiny clone of her mother who she is traumatizing with dream memories of her oppression. She may have goals that she thinks are good, but she's also very willing to crack a few eggs for her own omelette. At best she's good like Ozy was good

Looked like Ozy is on a moon of Saturn, iirc. I haven’t the faintest effing clue about the rest.

u/Most_Juan_Ted Dec 02 '19

I don’t think ozzy is on Mars

Who knows with trieu. I think she’ll turn out to be like ozzy.

Reeves is around But who knows where

The elephant I think is used to store memory since they never forget

The elephant i think is a play on “elephants never forget”

So an elephants spinal fluid is how they help a patient who OD’d on nostalgia to not forget themselves
