It did grow on me, though, after a couple of rewatches, and it was fun to see all those characters together, pointing guns to each other and having full disclosure. But, like WhyMe, I thought the big exposition scene was a little unbaked. The first half of the episode was so solid and moved on such assured pace. Four out of four road runners,īillie Doux loves good television and spends way too much time writing about it. No one controls the future."Ĭurtis: "A soldier knows when the battle is lost." Your plans were compromised from the beginning. Kiera: "Kellog working for himself, Curtis working for the freelancers, and Garza working for Alec Sadler. Julian: "Looks like it comes out of a terminator."Ĭarlos: "Big Brother. There's this coyote who's just relentless."Īlec: "This is the heart of Halo: a bio organic microcircuit that interfaces directly between brain and machine. Kiera: "You shoot the king, you gotta kill the king." Kiera: "Don't try to rationalize what you did."Īlec: "I'm sorry I want to make the world a better place and change the stark future I'm supposed to create."Īlex: "So if the launch goes the way we want, by Christmas we'll have 30,000 psychotic people walking around?" How strong can the relationship be on young Alec's part if he didn't actually raise Jason, though? I've become fond of poor Jason and his strange relationship with Alec, his future father. We got a glimpse of Week Ahead Alec, who is still in his Freelancer cage. Did I forget Week Ahead Alec telling Jason where it was? How? It was Week Ahead Alec who buried it. Jason knew where the Grapefruit of Death was buried. We got an interesting little scene where Brad interacted with his younger self. I have absolutely no freaking idea what's coming in the final two episodes. Alec changed the future, and it's very, very bad. Liber8 has failed in their mission and I think they just dissolved. He might not dismiss that revelation out of hand just because it sounded insane.Īnyway, the Halo stuff almost feels irrelevant. A crazed Jason just told Julian (his uncle! I just realized Julian is sort of Jason's uncle) the complete truth about time travel and who came back. I somehow doubt that Julian is going to stay bought. That's handy.)Īlec bought off Julian, and Julian just realized it. (I thought it was hilarious that Dillon wanted Halo because it would detect criminal behavior. Without years of development experience and other technology to build upon, Alec has created a product that makes six percent of its beta testers into violent criminals. The Halo plot is getting weirder, but frankly, I'd rather the corporate shenanigans center around Alec, Piron and SadTech than some corporate monster we don't "know." Turns out that jumpstarting the creation of Halo was a mistake, like we didn't know that already. (I loved Kellog's expression when he saw that Star Wars hologram of his future self.) And it was on future Kellog's instructions, too. How cool was that long sequence with Brad and Kiera versus the four Liber8 guys with Kellog and Curtis showing up, too? I'm still confused about Brad and Curtis and their relationship with the Freelancers, but I'm glad that Brad's growing relationship with Kiera is genuine – despite the fact that Brad was the one who killed the younger version of herself. What will the Liber8 team of psychos do now? Kill themselves? Go to Disneyland? Will they get jobs as bag boys at Wal-mart? Somehow I doubt that the old gang is going to stay together. Learning that they all had different agendas was the coup de grace. Sonya was determined to keep the faith, but Travis and Garza gave up, and Lucas seemed to be going nuts. By meddling in the future, Alec has made it worse. But the people still came out losers - civil war, starvation, anarchy. It can't be done."Īs we suspected, Kiera's toxic future has indeed been changed, and the Global Corporate Congress is gone.
