But it's not, the simulation Lily and Forest end up in, everyone but them is simulates , making everyone else fake

well, lily and forest are also infinite simulations. they just have their "data" more up to date. i think the show def should have shown some more glimpses of the "bad" realities possible at the end, to drive home the multiverse stuff.

i also thought the show did a very poor job of making determinism "real." it was very frustrating to watch characters just say "well, i have no choice," only for the show to end with someone doing the very simple action of choosing to the do opposite of what they were shown doing. dunno, the whole premise was hard to buy cause the show never made me think free will was impossible, it just told me so. until it wasnt.
