Having just finished binging the 1st season, I'm sitting here shaking my head at the ridiculousness of it all. It feels as if the writers were either magnificently lazy, or simply wrote themselves into a box they couldn't get out of. This ending makes no sense within the constraints of the lore already established. Without adding any spoilers, there has been nothing presented in the show that supports a complete transfer of consciousness from human (pilot) to avatar (peripheral). In fact, if this were possible, episodes 1 to 7 could have been quite different entirely as apparently there were other options and choices at play the audience didn't know existed, yet somehow the protagonist spontaneously figured out in the finale. I didn't realize (still not sure how I missed it) until this last episode that the show was a product of Kilter Films-I now have very real concerns for Amazon's upcoming Fallout. I sure do hope the writing is much better than what we see in this ridiculous episode 8.
