Obviously, this invalidates any agency or free will they thought they had. I bring up theology to point out that monotheistic religions that subscribe to an omnipotent, omniscient creator pretty much says the same thing as this show. I, like all of you, look forward to this show's answer tot his existential crisis.

It's not the same thing in the first place though. Theology's issues of free will and omniscience isn't as simple as a character following a script
