Transcript
00:00Well, I think throughout the episodes, I always assumed, and I could be wrong, what do I know?
00:08I always assumed that the glitches were evidence that whatever we were doing was being in some way observed, that
00:20we weren't alone, that somewhere everything was being sort of looked at.
00:26We were being observed.
00:27And so at the end, after we think, after the gang, if you like, think that they've conquered the problem,
00:36they've conquered the monster, we've done everything right, we can relax now, suddenly that glitch at the end is a
00:46whole reminder that no, nothing really has changed.
00:50They're still, they're still, and of course, and at the same time, it's also a lovely, a lovely teaser into
00:58hopefully a second season.
01:00Since I finished watching the show, I keep thinking about the final moment where we see Sam kind of glitch
01:04in the mirror.
01:06I was curious if you guys have any theories about what that could mean as the show goes on.
01:10You know, that's funny you should say that because we don't know.
01:15But say what you said about that, maybe that scene isn't even real.
01:19Did I say that?
01:20Yes.
01:21I thought you did.
01:22That, that, that.
01:24See, this is what happened when you work with old people.
01:30Yeah, but the whole, the whole, I know what you mean, yeah, the whole last scene seems too happy, too
01:35idealized, everyone is their best self, the kids are running, you guys are getting along, we're joking.
01:41So you kind of go, is any of this real?
01:44Is any of this happening?
01:45And then he glitches, yeah.
01:46Yeah, and the terminal person is going to go to Paris with us.
01:50Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true, yeah.
01:56Yeah, yeah.
