You are NOT supposed to know that. They’ve changed something from the books (I mean they’ve changed quite a lot, but that’s a biggie. 51 is on the need to know list, and the head of IT isn’t on it)
@Natasha Jay 🇪🇺 @Katy Swain You could absolutely make a Shift spinoff just with the late 21st century Donald and Paul stuff, let alone the rest of it.
I’m guessing they aren’t going to do the alternative back and forth between the near future and the silos that Shift does.
And then there’s the question of the reveals. You have to reveal what the big bad is before you reveal WHY. The glimpse at the end of S2 looks like it could portray Paul Thurman in a much more … I hesitate to say sympathetic light, but maybe an understandable one? Perhaps we’ll agree with him that something drastic had to be done to save humanity.
But, you know, there’s drastic and then there’s murdering everyone except half a million people who you decide to imprison in a bunch of deep holes for centuries.
@Natasha Jay 🇪🇺 @Katy Swain I want to be made uncomfortable and conflicted about what I’d do in Paul Thurman’s position. If it manages that, then it will be some of the best sci-fi ever.

Wonder if they just threw it in to fuck with those of us who’ve read the books?

“Cool story bro. You’re now head of IT”

Thurman is literally Leto II Atreides, isn’t he? Exact same shit.
