 A most unusual episode
I wasnt at all sure what to make of this one, the idea of someone being sentenced to social exclusion is very interesting, an indeed, was not unheard of in the 16th-19th centuries and i believe may still be in effect in some mormon communities.
However, the premise that his crime was being uncaring was never properly explored and seems like a very odd reason for the sentence. Although at the end of the episode he does show empathy. Which begs the question - if the society values empathy so highly why do they deny him medical treatment when he is so badly injurred and why is every one so callous in enforcing the sentence?
Also, the mark on his forhead looked like squashed chewing gum.
Dispite all these flaws I reckon this episode turned out pretty well in the end, the world it creates feels full and believable, the premise is suitabley strange and the plot fairly moving in places.
I'd be interested to know what everyone else thinks about this marmite episode.
