Episode 24:
Yet another tense and excellent episode.
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: And it's looking like the thing about the kid not being an Ogre but rather thinking that he's a Rat instead of a human was right...
Looking forward to the finale.

When I began watching the show, I was most concerned about the treatment of psychic children. I was appalled by the way the Education Committee eliminated children on just a thread of suspicion that they MIGHT be dangerous. In fact, didn't it imply that any children without Power were also eliminated? That was really problematic to me, and I expected the murder of the "defective" children to be the main conflict of the show. I didn't realize how important the monster rats were until at least halfway through the series.
So, in retrospect, I realize that the series didn't address my original concern very well. There's little indication of what, if anything, might change about the treatment of the children. But for some reason, that didn't bother me . . . I guess because after the monster rat rebellion, I was so interested in the fate of the monster rats that I forgot about some of my original concerns. It was only much later, after reading this thread, that I realized all the things that WEREN'T resolved.
That said, it would have been incredibly unrealistic if they had just miraculously fixed everything in time for the finale. I liked the optimistic-but-ambiguous ending better.
