I don't like to get all hyped and farfetch, but figuring out wider consequences has been my thing when a bigger context is present. I like how clear the fundamental flaw of the Sybil System has been demonstrated in this episode. As I believe to have said somewhere in this sub-forum, I kinda have a morbid interest in seeing the collapse of something like the Sybil System(believe me, shit is sooooo hitting the fan should that actually happen!), but all will depend on dynamics beyond this point. Most likely, the establishment will do all they can to suppress any invasive criticism directed to the system, should they start flying around at all. More likely then not, they'll be able to prevent any disclosed polemical process from happening. It seems wise to think that Urobuchi is probably more interested in inter-personal dynamics between the casts and the consequential development of their personalities then in the frame setting the story is taking place, even while making the later effectively integral part of the former. Certainly nonetheless, that the later is not just for background decoration, but I do wonder if this show will elaborate to us how far this part will evolve later, and especially about how the main cast will role in that process.

Remember that many detectives where taken off the job after Sybil was put into place and started flagging many as would be criminals. This is most likely when the change in the way police worked took place.

What a gripping episode. As I'd expected, Senguji and Yuki kicked the bucket. During her confrontation with Makishima, Akane was so overwhelmed by the Dominator not being able to judge him - which was painful to watch, but is understandable to me as she heavily relies on the Sibyl System.
Makishima's decreasing CC seems to point at a flaw in the Sibyl System, one we have yet to know about. He can't be the only one with this ability, can't he? |

An inspector is still a human who can make mistakes. It doesn't make much sense to let a human make a decision if the Sybil system is infallible. No override means a human can't replace the Sybil system's judgement with a mistake. Sybil doesn't even have to be perfect. If its false positive and false negative rate are low enough, statistically you would have more errors by letting humans make decisions even if you let the Makishimas of the world slip between the cracks. You comments about the Dominators being way too slow is valid, though. 10 second start up time to judge a target is way too long. If Kougami wasn't Kougami, there's a good chance he would be dead despite picking up the gun and having a clear shot because of the massive delay.

The Dominator ought to have a manual override, precisely for situations like this one. The society of Psycho-Pass really does put too much faith in the Sibyl system.

Besides, it's stupid to use merely a mind scan at the expense of the actual, present situation. No, it's not a situation that's going to occur very often. But it should still be accounted for. |

You know, I was kind hoping for one of those "The hero jumps in at the last second and saves the girl" in the last 5 minutes of this episode...that wasn't the case
Pretty interesting how Akane went from being calm and no signs of bother to mentally scarred with no doubt partial cloudiness if not more. I'm worried for her in the next episode since she looked pretty bad at the end of this episode. My precise Akane! Please be ok!

- Manual override would mean they'd still have to think before shooting.
- They have a stun option. It's not ideal, of course. Nothing's perfect. But there should be an option to shoot murderous bastards when they're caught in the act, whatever their CC is. |
