re: CONTINUUM: Season 2 Thread (Live in Canada Edition)

The thing that pisses me off about this show is that she has the ability to be invisible, but doesn't use this tactic EVERY time she is about to be in a confrontation.

Anybody watch tonight's ep yet besides me?

highly unlikely. will probably try to watch GOT and continuum sometime tomorrow

Alec is manipulating Kellog from the future.

this is what I think

from the get-go, Kellog was to eager to jump ship from liberate and look after him and his families finance. The dude is all about money, he's no terrorist, at least not like the other zealots. Alec sends Kellog back because he knows his younger self doesnt yet have the drive to be rich, and Kellog is just shrewd and slimy enough to push him in the right direction (as future Alec sees it)

-I'm not so sure what to think of the possible "mole" in the task force

-interested to see that Liberate is forming factions that compete against each other now

I hope they continue to "flash-forward" every week to help put the pieces together. I still have no clue if everything is going exactly according to future Alec's plan to ensure nothing changes, or if he has a true desire to make changes

and besides being Kogame's cellmate, have they made any real revelation as to where he fits in? I may need to rewatch the first season and look for clues/connections

Rewatching the pilot.....

The husband has to know something was about to go down in the execution chamber, which I think we all kinda knew. The one thing I caught was that the nerd said "we thought we were supposed to only go back
6 years but it looks more like 60"



Not sure if thats pertinent but it hints that not everyone was in on the plan with the magic time orange slices

It makes sense that they weren't supposed to go back THAT far. Or at least they didn't tell everyone the whole truth before it happened.

---

yeah, because in the episode where they kidnap the old scientist, the nerd says he has the calculations right this time and he's certain that they will all get to the time they were supposed to be. The entire rest of the troupe is in agreement.

But since Kogame seems to have a b-line for blowing up that building at the end of Season 1, I'm going to assume that he (and old Alec) knew all along....mix that in with that brief conversation Kogame and young Alec had when he was tied to that chair...you got to think they were absolutely working together.

also, if in the future, he's part of the governing body, future Alec purposely puts Kogame and his step-brother in the same cell so they can scheme

re theorizing:

1) future Alec has enlisted libera8, given them all the tools they need to "bring down the evil corporations in the past" because somehow, he has insulated himself and actually wants to be supreme chancellor over the whole thing. Liberat8, in effect, wipes out the competition for him

2) future Alec feels guilty about the way things have turned out. Realizes that his step-brother and step-dad were radical nuts, pretends to align with them, sends the gang back to the past with the cop, so they can ultimately fail before the movement gets started, and change the future.

it's so obvious he's pulling the strings, the real question is his motive

Freelancers FTW!

Yeah, they will be very key in this show...they have unique qualities somewhat like the Fringe Observers at the beginning of the show... That dude just isn't as sly or full of secrets


Remember those days?

I am disappoint with this board

No one has watched?!?!?!

quote:

---

I kinda wish they hadn't introduced the notion of "freelancers"...I think it may only serve to clutter up the storyline and not enhance it.

---

I disagree...for now though. The different gangs and their names are pretty dang annoying though

quote:

---

And, please stop the flash-forwards of anything involving Keira

---

Couldn't agree more. The sister flash forward was pretty dumb. It also seems like it was added later and forced to add to her hate for the "new" drug...


Where's Yuri on this? She's usually the one who watches the newest eps first.

quote:

or worse, the show gets enough traction, gets renewed, and the writers use this as an out clause to undo something they've already presented to the viewers.

---

I could see this happening...but hopefully it won't. I wonder if the show has an outline of how they want it to go til the end, or if they are just playing it by ear...week to week...
