I just posted about this from a pop SF angle. You are clearly deeper into the philosophy of it! Do you have a good starting point for this "brain not consciousness-generating" (anti-physicalist?) view? I understand consciousness solely as a function of brain/body:

Your consciousness is a function of your brain (& body). If you manage to make a perfect duplicate of your 'Essence' (personality, memories, etc) and house that in a new machine:
• you (the consciousness that YOU experience) still die with your brain
• you (the consciousness that YOU experience) still die with your brain

I basically love all the franchise.
The show has time to mix more elements into the usual Alien mix - cyborgs , human synths, parasitic octopus eyeballs!!! - but the core themes are still intact. Some high tension, and it looks great!
I'm optimistic for the rest of the season, we will see!
