Again the game part is really fun. Except... if it's a planet around 3 suns, it's a 4 bodies problem, not 3. And nobody notices that ??
Not clear how the multi player mode works nor whether the opponents scientists are players. The computer army is fun.
Well tried for Auggie. The countdown can actually return, at the point where it was. Is that automatic, from a future timeline ? Or is she spied on constantly ?
We haven't seen much of the cancer guy yet, I don't even remember his name. Betting he's gonna end up on the bad guys side.
Saw it coming for Jack. Interesting that not only cameras but also people around can't see. However it will be pretty hard to make this one look like a suicide. How do they expect Jin to react though ?
Clearly, red flags all around. They interact with two populations, players and scientists working on projects they want stopped, and both can end up dead. We had the first contact warning. The fact that Evans calls it "Lord" is not good either. Assuming they want to stop people working on projects that could help defend against them, but what about players ? Maybe they have a way to turn them ? Or they just lie to them with pacifist talk ?
There's still a slight possibility that there could be two factions, but it's rather thin right now.
Hope there's a bit more than that, since the expectations and the possibilities are often way better then the actual solution, but it's already pretty good. A bit afraid that this stops the game, which was the more fun part.
Better than the second episode, and again some of the changes in the adaptation make sense, but overall it feels a bit dumber than the book. The book has its own issues, but I had hoped those could be remedied without giving up on the strong ideas. They're still there, but watered down.
I wish we had more context of the detective’s deal, like usually in every detective show we see that it’s hard for different departments to cooperate between each other, and so far there’s been over 30 deaths in different countries and everything goes so smoothly regarding the cooperation and the sharing of information?
Like the detective can so easily hack into the friend group devices? I understand he’s being sponsored and protected by that other guy but how did all this started? The first death, the one that make them suspicious about something greater going on, how did the older guy recruited the detective? How did they choose to focus on the “london five”?
I guess I’m seeing this more like a mystery/detective show instead of an alien show but still even for a scifi show your detective game gotta be solid!
It's getting a little repetitive and characters starting to act a little too randomly. Good that we got a step further from the narrative standpoint, but as far as characters' growth - Will, Saul and Jack have little point. Will see if they (the remaining ones) go somewhere or are just random "side dishes" to the whole story
Now we know more about what's going on, or do we? :thinking:
I wasn't expecting Jack to get it in the neck so to speak! And, he's a Manchester City fan, saw it on his laptop, save Jack. :thumbsup_tone1:
So, assuming the game ended on level 4 (because that looked like an ending, to me), what was the whole purpose of the game? To let a small group of very few people know that aliens are coming to our planet? That's it? Is it as dumb as I'm making it to be or am I missing something?
So....The Last Starfighter part deux.
I like the way they approach it, although I find it all very fast...
And it still seems to me a very Gringa adaptation....
Oh, it’s heating up.
Finally the three bodies make sense. Also looking forward to seeing what they’re “being recruited for”.
And these other guys on the game – when will we meet them?
what a shitty shitty adaptation
Damn Homey! In the words of Steve Perry:
44:45 Why does the ETO have the same logo as my failed company? Should have registered it as my trademark. Damn…
