Yes, I see what you are saying. See my later replies on this as I have gotten better at expressing what I didn't like about the ep.

I know it wasn't always for love, and that is why I still like the
show. Killing the Senator demonstrated the dilemma. Same with the
tablets. Same with Carter and the Fusco body.

Maybe, but then I don’t like their characters. I just really tire of TV shows justifying people doing awful things because someone they love is in danger. Love is not the end all be all! This Disney-religion is swallowed way too easily.

I have to admit that this was probably my least-favorite episode of POI
ever. Why: because of the lack of principles in the characters.
