Actually, you can totally see it as a symptom of Young, Scott, et al having so thoroughly "normalized" their use of the stones over the last two years that they simply don't recognize that this kind of body-hijacking is wrong anymore. And yet, they just keep right on using the stones...

Yes, a very skeevy episode; I didn't mind the body-snatching nearly as much as the planet-snatching, though, yk?

Young has no moral compass, really; and Scott's is limited; and they're very inwardly focused... I don't it's so much supposed to be an indictment of USImperialism as of how humans are.
