re: Station Eleven HBOMAX

I just finished my second watch. I picked up SO much more the 2nd time around. I'll probably give it a 3rd watch in the not-too-distant future.

Also, the orphan's name from the birthing center is Alexandra. She's Alex...and the "David" that Rose was waiting for was Tyler. He willingly gave up Alex back then but 20 yrs later tried to get her to join him.

Yeah I picked up way more about the parallels and connections between Tyler and Kirsten. Not just their connections with Arthur and Station Eleven. At the birthing center, Jeevan describes Kirsten as "just someone I ended up with." A few minutes later, when Jeevan asks Rose who she's waiting for, she says "just someone I ended up with." Like you said, it turned out that Dave is actually Tyler. Both young Kirsten and young Tyler ended up with adult companions post-pan, but then lost them. And young Tyler almost left with baby Alex. Alex somehow ends up with the Travelling Symphony (I don't remember how), and young Kirsten is seen babysitting Alex and losing her because she was too absorbed by her book. This all explains why adult Kirsten was so protective of adult Alex, and why the Prophet was trying to lure Alex away, although I'm not sure if it was ever established that he knew Alex was the same person as Rose's baby.
