*nods* I was almost physically recoiling from the screen. Just so unnecessary. :(
If you're going to tackle that sort of theme, you need a smarter script, a more compelling script and here it felt like it had nothing to say for itself beyond "look how shit humanity can be" and was just there for shock value. And the most frustrating thing for me was he's shown he can write about that sort of thing well. In COE, those scenes around the Cabinet table I thought were a brilliantly chilling parallel of the Wannsee Conference.
Word. If you only have one story to tell, you need to stop at some point...
I would also accept Have A Better Script or Examine A Different Facet or Don't Have Everyone Be Evil and/or A Right Eejit.
