…and those are just the Freelancer questions! Others abound. – Who is behind the Freelancer door?- What was the small, black, energy-sapping device found in the safety deposit box?- How did Curtis cheat death?- Why do the Freelancers keep dead bodies? I can’t wait to see what Kellog does with actual personnel!įour episodes are left this season, and there are so many questions! He should have played the non-compete card much earlier, of course, but using it to coerce a seat on the Piron board answerable only to Alec is a master stroke, whether Alec saw right through the charade or not. First, when is he from? Second, with whom do his allegiances lie? And third, what will become of the obvious chemistry between him and Kiera? To be honest, I’ve been a bit starved for a romantic interest in this show, especially since the departure of Emily, so I’m a big fan of this new development.Īnother plotline that has unfolded tantalizingly slowly is the re-emergence of Kellog as manipulative weasel. It becomes abundantly clear that this new character is a time traveler, but I immediately find myself wondering three things. Alec’s integrity has all but vanished!Īnd where’s Kiera during all this? She’s flirting with a John Doe who awoke from a two-month coma knowing only her name. Does Carlos realize the effect this will have on the already-damaged boy genius? Nothing good can come of it! Nevertheless, no one could have anticipated that the Piron innovator would attempt a technological shortcut by cutting into dead Kiera’s skull to retrieve her CMR, the implied descendent of Halo. You’d think the capture of Betty’s killer would help Carlos’ peace of mind, but apparently he feels compelled to share his biggest secret, Kiera’s increasingly creepy corpse, with Alec, who agrees with him that the interlopers from the other timeline just aren’t the same. It is satisfying, though, to see Dillon use his bad cop act on the actual culprit this time. The parkour burglar gives up Neelon, so does that mean Sonmanto, who owns Greypoint, hired the thief as well? Sometimes the labyrinthine company connections leave me scratching my head. The older crimes are being pinned on Greypoint Security tough guy, Neelon, while the high tech thefts this week go largely unsolved. However, the brief glimpses of Lucas in “Minute of Silence” and Garza last week have demonstrated how this shift in tone could blossom into a new audience point of view: one in which we actively seek a partnership between all of the time travelers against the rising Corporate Congress.Īs Liber8 escapes scrutiny, though, someone needs to pay, and there’s a bit of a disconnect with the murders from last week – the gas attack and Betty’s death – and the thefts in this episode. For two episodes now, the corporate intrigue in Continuumhas taken center stage, and Liber8’s blamelessness has marginalized some of our favorite characters.
