to me Russel represents logic and rationality. a man of science so to speak, searching only for the truth. and hes a park warden, he protects the environment.

I know hes had a troubled past and I'm sure he has a lot more secrets to tell. but I am convinced hes on the good side.

so what exactly is the argument for him being a hybrid? can someone enlighten me?

no it isn't as simple as that. in fact I think in a way both characters (Tom and Russel) can in fact be seen as "good".

define good and bad. who gets to decide what is right and what is wrong? ppl merely act on their beliefs. same with these characters. Tom believes that his purpose is good just as Russel does.

theres so much richness to the plot yet you are the one who is simplifying it in terms of good and bad. but like you said its not as simple as that.

so imo whether Russ is good or bad is irrelevant. whats important is how he chooses to act in the given circumstances.

I think they are both good guys. Tom is trying to hold things together to allow the hybrids(maybe) to live in this world alongside The Normals.

However, maybe they are not hybrids as such. The Tom we know is not the tom who dies is he???Is that Tom not dead??? So this one is a replacement and therefore not Tom at all??Get my drift?
If so then they are interlopers who have murdered real humansBecause If there is a "Tom Dead Body" and a "Meriel Dead body"then as I said they are dead!or are they
