As a neurosurgery student, I find the medical information and facts in this series quite impressive. However, I do have some comments:
First, FEDRA's actions in terms of containment, stabilization of society, and setting examples for law violators are justifiable. In the face of a global disease outbreak that could kill millions or turn people into monsters, the military has the right to eliminate anyone who breaches the rules. Whether by killing those who leave the walls or by other means, these measures are necessary because there is no guarantee they haven't been exposed to the disease. In a world where morality has lost its meaning to creatures no longer human, a military dictatorship is a natural and expected outcome. I don't care about the opinions of those who disagree, because the reality of microbes is starkly different from an idealistic, colorful world.
Initially, I was bothered by the actions of the resistance because I am against revolution. However, as the episodes progressed and I learned they were working on a cure, my opinion changed, even though they were violating FEDRA's containment system. I appreciated many of Bill's actions at the beginning of the series, but he disappointed me greatly by the end. His mental decline and the loss of his daughter led him to irrationally see Ellie as his daughter, resulting in him killing numerous Fireflies to get her back. This act, especially his killing of the surgeon in a world with few doctors, demonstrates his poor mental state.
I know I've said a lot, but I love details in series like this. The methods and morals of many characters in 70% of movies and series seem naive and irrational. The main character's reckless and illogical decisions stand out, especially in comparison to real-world events like the COVID-19 pandemic, where we didn't resort to killing people. In similar life-threatening situations, decisions must prioritize the survival of the human race.
I was surprised by the ratings of the final episode. If a real pandemic occurred and someone like Bill made similar decisions, it would lead to a catastrophic loss of life, causing immense suffering. His actions would prevent billions of potential lives and cause widespread grief, as families would lose loved ones. Such decisions, if made by people like Bill, would spell doom for humanity. This sentiment extends to my disdain for the medical ethics community that keeps people alive against their will.
If you think, "This is just fiction, why criticize it as if it were real?" my remarks might not concern you. But for everyone else, the difference between fantasy and science fiction is significant. Fantasy might depict someone pulling a snake from thin air, but science fiction deals with realistic concepts like viruses, fungi, and bacteria that could potentially behave as shown in the series. Science fiction introduces scientific concepts that can profoundly affect us, making it fascinating to see even partially accurate scientific ideas in such works.
