"Everybody can kind of create their own theory about what it must be like... in there. And it's reasonable, I think, to say "Well, if you've been infected for a week, a month, five years, you're not— you're gone." And people also say "Look, physically, his [Sam's] ears, the eardrums, the nerves, they don't work the way they do in people who can hear, so why would they work now [that he's infected]?"
But... I think it's still him. I think in that moment where it's [the infection] just beginning, there is just confusion. It's a little bit like being on a bad trip; you can't stop yourself, you don't know what's happening and you're reacting like you're in a dream. And you may even realize, in moments, like "I'm trying to hurt somebody that I love but I can't stop it."."
— Craig Mazin about Sam being infected

does anyone say this about goh’s parents? i don’t know cause i haven’t seen it (at least after their debut episode but it wouldnt shock me) but im gonna use em to springboard off of for a fandom nitpick anyways- i dont really care for the notion that parents are abusive per say for needing to work a lot so the kids are often without them. like obviously its not cut and dry and there are parents who work and neglect their children while using it as an excuse, and even in the best possible cases the kids are at risk of feeling isolated from their parents and that’s tragic, but in our capitalist hellscape its like. yknow it’s difficult and not something that can be easily solved. if they take less time then thats less money on the table and the kid could end up struggling even more if it doesnt make ends meet. there isnt really any easy way to win this situation
