The pain of loving his father so much, but also hating him for all the hurt he caused in Elliot's life...it was just too much to cope with. That might not have been the exact moment, but it makes sense.<br /><br />This has been a great season, I just wish that last season didn't waste so many episodes on people and situations that I couldn't care about.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2530121125715826162017-12-03T17:30:05.253-05:002017-12-03T17:30:05.253-05:00Just for the heck of it I looked up .ko file.

According to Wikipedia (emphasis mine):<br /><br />"In computing, a loadable kernel module is an object file that contains <b>code to extend the running kernel</b>, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system. <b>LKMs are typically used to add support for new hardware and/or filesystems,</b> or for adding system calls. When the functionality provided by a LKM is no longer required, it can be unloaded in order to free memory and other resources."<br /><br />Elliot staying alive and rebooting himself with Trenton’s email?

Not since Katie Sackhoff’s "glorious mess" of a Starbuck have I run across a female character more fascinating and difficult to figure out. Just love her.milostanfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601982445850157037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-21995968283517175262017-12-03T15:07:11.410-05:002017-12-03T15:07:11.410-05:00Thanks for the great comment, Milo.
I actually di...Thanks for the great comment, Milo.<br /><br />I actually didn't catch the Elliot-Dom connection until I saw someone made a composite image of them both with their lollipops on Facebook. Pretty sure they are even both framed the same way, slightly to the right.<br /><br />This show has some of the best cinematography. I love it.<br /><br />I don't think the Mohammad thing was in Elliot's head, but like you said, with this show, you never know really. I was also hoping the same thing about Angela. Suppose it could be both. That she was reminiscing with Elliot while still lying to herself. Or maybe that scene was intended to provide context to her current behavior; why she allowed herself to buy into the idea that she could magically wish away everyone's problems. I'm still amazed at Angela. When I first started watching, I never imagined her character would be this complex.Logan Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927158558530539708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-30421791298311075012017-12-02T18:09:46.042-05:002017-12-02T18:09:46.042-05:00Nice catch with the lollipop that Mohammad gave El...Nice catch with the lollipop that Mohammad gave Elliot, hinting at a Dom-Elliot coalition. Kid’s been to the doctor a few times and just did the expected thing after affecting a cure. As Wordsworth wrote: "Child is father to the man."<br /><br />I wondered if Mo’s visit with Elliot was even really happening given Elliot’s past hallucinatory bent. Especially the way it opened with Mo suddenly appearing on the empty beach. I think he was real but Esmail used that past to add a bit of surreality to the scenes with them and make their connection more personal.<br /><br />Loved the way Mohammad conned Elliot The Great People Hacker into taking him to the movies even though he had the house keys the whole time. It was like he had Elliot on a leash when they were walking around.<br /><br />The Magic Jacket Return may have been a bit convenient. But I got a laugh at how the "garbage collectors" were taking peoples E-Coin to take their trash and then dumping it on the street in another part of town. Reminds one of a certain economic system.<br /><br />Yes! That scene with Elliot and Angela, enhanced by the widescreen, was beautiful. Especially the way they lit Angela’s face as she moved into frame. At times the whole front of her face was blacked out. Then it would light just one eye and the lines above her cheek, making her look a bit like her mother dying of cancer from a previous ep. Then, as she and Elliot sank into their old groove, we see her lit full face. Hope that her "we’ll be OK" was not just more Whiterose zombieness, but was her reacting to Elliot instead.milostanfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601982445850157037noreply@blogger.com
