*spoilers* Becoming a Synthie (Sophie)


Little Sophie's antics lately of acting out as a synth...is it a phase? Or is she becoming a mini Synthie? It's kind of odd that the parents are already judging her and want her to be seen by a professional when they could just get down on her level, talk to her, and treat her like a child (warmth, stories, hugs). I don't see them doing that much with her. Mia/Anita seemed like more of a hands on parental figure - no wonder Sophie wants to be more like her.

Leo was also raised by Mia/Anita but he never became a Synthie. Granted, he is part synth already... And he's not exactly stable too. But that's more of a parental failure on his end.

i think it's just a phase for Sophie because she misses Mia so much. it's a bit silly but Sophie's just a little girl so it's understandable. i think the high school girl who's full on pretending to be a synth is completely ridiculous/idiotic. of course we all go through fads/phases in high school but this part of season 2 isn't translating well IMO. other than that i'm enjoying season 2.
