Pod was… depressing. Obviously. A story about aliens who take over the world has got to be depressing.
On the other hand, it was pretty fascinating. Not so much the would you eat your father part (or your dog) – that’s something that would obviously have to come up. More the what were those aliens doing? Seems to me they were cleaning the earth of contaminants. Reducing the population without completely eradicating the population. Leaving the bikes but taking the pollution-creating vehicles.
Fascinating. Really.
