CaptainTightpants February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 This was a much stronger episode than the first. The scene between kovacs and the stripper was really well done by both actors. Joel Kinnaman does a very convincing concerned mother. And the stripper clearly yearned for a concerned mother of her own. Well done all around, they packed a lot into a short scene. More backstory of the Envoys and their leader. They were definitely Browncoats, noble idealists who lost the war to the evil empire. And it looks like Kovacs and the leader were lovers? Probably/maybe. The revolution must have been a big deal to still be talked about 250 years later. Ortega is still the weak link for me so far. The Catholic stuff seems heavy handed. It is obviously going to come into play later in the murder investigation. There are anvils falling everywhere with the devout mother and the confessional ect. The only thing in the cop storyline that is exciting is that Hiro Kanagawa is back being in charge of a precinct. He was my favorite zombie cop in iZombie and I was disappointed when he was killed off. So it is nice that he rides again! Even if he is apparently part of a cop conspiracy to hide a dead girl in the morgue. I am really enjoying Poe, it is an interesting portrayal of an A.I. And all the other A.I.'s having a mean girl poker game was a nice bit of levity. His eagerness to be a sidekick and Kovacs eye rolling irritation with him is one of the better relationships in the show so far. There is a lot of nudity in the show, but at least it seems to be equal opportunity so far. Which makes it seem normalized instead of gratuitous. I did find the sexual encounter between Kovacs and the scheming wife to be a bit out of nowhere. But since it was the last scene I'm hoping for an explanation next episode. 16 Link to comment

thuganomics85 February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 Glad to see that Hiro Kanagawa found himself another captain gig! Even if he ends up playing another shady one... Ato Essandoh has always been one of my favorite actors, so him showing up is a nice surprise. Curious to learn more about him and hopefully he and Kovacs will form an uneasy alliance. Figured Kovacs was going to hook-up with Bancroft's wife right after they first met, but I'm surprised it has happened this quickly. Have a feeling there will be more to it, of course. Definitely saw a lot of Kristin Lehman there! Good old Netflix! Still finding Ortega an one-dimensional antagonist. Hopefully she'll get more interesting soon. The scene with Poe and the other A.I.s was interesting. 8 Link to comment
2727 February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 There may be a problem when the AI is the most interesting character for me. At least I haven't seen his particular type/trope as many times before as I have tortured ex-soldier, obsessed cop, and wealthy evil asshole. Speaking of body parts, jeez. Filming more realistic sex scenes without sheets being drawn up to chins is one thing, but showing full frontal when it's not necessary to the plot only serves to pull me out of the show. I don't need to know any actor's penis or nipple size! 10 Link to comment

sjohnson February 4, 2018 Share February 4, 2018 Well, the fallen angel is a literally fallen woman, Lizzie Elliott. Presumably the body is evidence of some crime/scandal. Except I don't understand how anyone could the possibility of Lizzie herself coming out of her trauma loop and telling people what happened isn't the real problem. Watch this space I guess. Do believe it was Ortega who had hidden the Henchy daughter's body. She felt remorse I think and took the stack, so she could give the mother the body. What I'm thinking at the moment is that she's the one who tried to off the evil billionaire, and that's why she's so antsy about Kovacs. Will Yun Lee played Tak in a flashback. Did they cast him as a joke, because he's playing Taka in Falling Water? James Purefoy doing full frontal while Joel Kinnaman is ostentatiously shieldid is like Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood: It's the ones who are over the crest of the hill who have something to prove. 2 Link to comment

Cheezwiz February 4, 2018 Share February 4, 2018 Managed to stick with it through another episode, but I am still finding it a chore. I really don't care about any of the characters, and am still confused by a lot of what's going on. For me, the best scene was between Kovacs and the stripper - it felt genuinely moving in a show that seems to be working overtime to be detached and hardboiled. Both actors were excellent in that exchange. Other promising bits - I liked the actor who is playing Lizzie's father, and it seemed clear from the get-go that he will become an ally to Kovacs even though their first encounter was a punch-up. I'm also still enjoying Poe the AI - some much needed comic relief. The weakest link for me is Ortega. Both the writing and the actress are not working for me - I'm finding her performance OTT. I am also not clear on who the blonde siren who dropped from the sky was supposed to be, or why Ortega had stashed her body away. Spot the Vancouver location: The historical museum where Kovacs was talking to the little kid is the Museum of Anthropology! 7 Link to comment

Bec February 4, 2018 Share February 4, 2018 "I value my privacy," says Bancroft as he strolls into the vault with his penis out for everyone to see. That's gotta be a bit of intentional humor. Also the naked hologram advertisement... thing... inside Psychasec saying "I'm the best sleeve money can buy, put your wife in me" and Kovacs sarcastically saying "Hmm. Tasteful." Hee! Pretty sure the hallway and lobby of Psychasec is the BCIT Aerospace Campus in real life. 19 hours ago, 2727 said: Sleeping with your boss's wife always ends well, so good decision making there.

No streaming this while doing other things. So happy to see Renee Goldsberry in this. She’s come a long way since One Life to Live. I like the lead in this but find the cop annoying as hell. As stated in the episode, surely she got more important things to do, than stalking Takeshi. That shot of JP/Laurens naked was damn. He’s certainly blessed.

Danny Franks February 5, 2018 Share February 5, 2018 (edited) As with the book, it's obvious already that the actual storyline of Bancroft's murder is just a framework with which to build the world that Morgan envisaged. The hardboiled, cyberpunk, transhuman dystopia. There are so many cool ideas in here. One being that they put their eyephones in fresh every morning? Cool. That's a fun little detail, and I don't recall whether it was in the book or not, Another being that the religious backlash against the offered immortality of cortical stacks is to reject that, and campaign to live finite lives. And that veteran's daughter was evidence of how those rich, powerful, immortal people use other humans. The whole show is about humanity and the lack of it, either through choice or conditioning. This shockingly impersonal view of bodies as commodities. Using people for sex, stealing, killing, and then coercing those people to resleeve and do it all over again. Definitely not a pleasant world. Kovacs' own history obviously has strong connections to a previous rebellion against the status quo. I'll be honest, I genuinely can't remember much about the woman he keeps remembering, or what she stood for. And Kinnaman was better in this episode. Clearer dialogue delivery, more inflection and emotion. Perhaps he was playing Kovacs as still being in shock in the pilot episode. He's reminding me a little of Thomas Jane in The Expanse. I definitely enjoyed him terrifying the obnoxious kid in the museum. Poe, the proprietor of the AI hotel is fun. A slightly lighter role, in what is a very dark, dirty show. And do people know that AIs interact with one another, in their own cyberworld? Can't imagine they'd be okay with that. Especially when the AIs talk about humans in such disparaging terms. There are lots of familiar faces in this show. Bancroft's lawyer was in Bones, and had a small part in Serenity. I do like seeing actors pop up again and again, particularly in genre shows. Tahmoh Penikett in the last episode too. The Bancroft clone vault was eerie, but it's something that doesn't quite work for me. Because why would you have clones that are the same as your current age? Live over and over again, wouldn't you just have all your clones be 19 years old, so you get to experience physical prime over and over? Of course, James Purefoy strode in to prove his... ahem... physical prime is much the same as it was in Rome, almost fifteen years ago. Mrs. Bancroft didn't look to shabby either. I don't really have much to say about Ortega right now. The actress isn't impressing me, and I don't know what she's up to with that stolen stack. One last thing, I think the theme music for this show blows. It should be base driven, heavy, oppressive, not the anaemic strings thing that it is.

I was wondering about this too—although I think 25 is the peak—and now I'm thinking that since they could have just as easily cast 25-year-old looking actors, that the choice to use those more middle aged had to be for the optics of conveying the centuries-long age of the Methuselahs. 5 Link to comment
justmehere February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 Or, he didn't have the wealth yet (or the technology didn't exist yet) to have himself cloned at that young age. He could have chosen a different sleeve altogether, I guess.

We've seen JK's backside a lot, but there's still been far more female frontal, especially if you count the corpse however many times now. It is dehumanizing -- but it always is anyway, with women as objects. Not giving a pass for that explanation. Thirding or fourthing or whatever that the scene between Kovacs and the sex worker was the best. Wondered whether he meant it when he said that she was worth more or deserved better than the way she's being treated. Was that a moment of humanity or was he playing the role so she'll keep talking when he returns for more information? --That may be the most messed-up self-view I've seen, that she thinks Bancroft is one of the good ones because he pays for a sleeve upgrade if he happens to kill one of the girls. I don't believe that life/death really mean so little in this world. It's a reality that they can redownload, but that doesn't make a painful death experience less traumatic. I'm still in for now because most of the violence has been very stylized. Lizzie's trauma portends bad things, though, and if it gets more "personal", I may be out. 2 Link to comment

I dunno, there's been a fair amount of Whang-Waving...

Thankfully, a neatly tonsured vulva is not excessively distracting, but when the guys come out to play, it's a little different. Prominent.

Clanstarling February 10, 2018 Share February 10, 2018 The scene where Tak questioned Bancroft was interesting to me. The lawyer and his wife answered Tak's questions so quickly, it made me suspicious. Were they telling the truth? Are his wife and lawyer colluding? Given her physically enhanced ability to seduce, could the wife have seduced the lawyer, and together they're angling to get Bancroft's entire fortune? Or is there just one specific thing they don't want Bancroft to remember (which is why they didn't destroy his stack as well). I don't have the highest win ratio when it comes to speculating, but those thoughts ran through my mind. Link to comment

tennisgurl February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 I am so happy that the Poe AI is still a thing in this show, he is such a nice breath of fresh, snarky air in the sea of intensity in this show. The AI poker game was fun too, with them all talking about how weird Poe was for still having an interest in humanity. I wonder if AI rights or restrictions have ever been a thing in this universe, or if its just something people are used to here. I agree that Kovacs and the stripper was a really good scene. It was very humanizing, both for the characters, and for the world at large. While the characters are not super deep yet, its nice to see the glimmers of humanity, and how people still connect in this world. In fact, showing humanity is increasingly important in this show, with its emphasis on bodies and how they exist as vessels for people, and what being human even means in this world. The murder is mostly a way to explore the world, how it works, and its backstory, and thats fine with me. The mystery is fine, and seems interesting, but it mostly exists to explore this past of the apparent freedom fighters who are now being written in the books as evil terrorists by the current government, and how the world is here. Ortega is still the weak link here. She has her moments, but she just is rather cliche and wooden character existing in a pretty cliche and wooden cop universe. On the other hand, I think the stuff about religion and how it feels about sleeves and bringing people back and fourth from the dead. It has potential, and I like seeing how different things like religion and society adapt (or not) to fantastic concepts in world building. Never sleep with the bosses wife. It never ends well. 1 Link to comment
