I was relieved he was not Kiera’s son, otherwise the flirting going on in the previous episode would’ve been very discomforting (although not nearly as discomforting as what Orphan Black offered us last night). It does seem he comes from an alternate future, one in which Matthew Kellog is a big deal. Now that’s an interesting path to take. Kellog was one of my favorite characters on season one, but he’s been a not-so-entertaining question mark ever since. Could they be setting him up as a big villain? Maybe. Or maybe not, since this show likes to stay on the grey area for pretty much every character.<br /><br />Now, if neither Alec is going to be a big deal, shouldn’t this timeline collapse? Or Alec is only necessary to the timeline because of the tech he creates and as long as he creates it (no matter who rules the world) everything is fine? What makes a timeline collapse anyway? Maybe I shouldn’t care so much, whenever I start thinking too hard on this show’s rules of time travel, it’s my mind that collapses.<br /><br />This season has been pretty great so far, and I can’t wait for the final three episodes.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90364542154478515892014-06-08T13:11:11.314-04:002014-06-08T13:11:11.314-04:00Billie, I think Gautuma did develop Flash on Kiera...Billie, I think Gautuma did develop Flash on Kiera’s original timeline, and now they were going to produce Flash a little earlier than they were supposed to, much like Alec is developing Halo years ahead of its time. And because there were terrible side effects to Flash on the original timeline, Kiera must have thought they were going to be even worse this time around and decided to sabotage the whole thing. She also had personal motivation, considering her sister died from abusive Flash consumption.<br /><br />Liber8’s plan was neat. Did they just played Kiera or was Kiera aware and playing along? From the way the story developed the former is more likely, but since one of this season’s themes is Kiera being aware, I’m sort of hoping she is secretly allying with Lyber8’s agenda.<br /><br />I thought this one was a pretty great episode overall. CEO Alec’s character development on the beginning of the season was pretty rocky, as if the writers were pushing the accelerator too much so they could quickly set him apart from Week Ahead Alec. But ever since they locked Week Ahead Alec away and focused on CEO Alec, the results have been pretty fantastic. That Kiera/Alec scene by the end was my favorite of theirs. I mean:<br /><br />"The Alec Saddler I know, the one I met two years ago, he wouldn’t have crossed that line, and he wouldn’t have played on Carlos’ grief to get rid of the evidence."<br /><br />Go, Kiera! Alec has crossed several lines now: he drilled his dead friend’s body, he made the evidence disappear, he played on Carlos’ grief to do it and now he totally kept deadly information from Kiera. I mean, God, Alec, Freelancer Kiera could die and you still chose not to tell her a thing. Bastard! Erik Knudsen totally nailed the moment, displaying the conflict on Alec’s face as he chose to be evil, evil, evil.<br /><br />"The Alec you met two years ago is dead, or locked away somewhere."<br /><br />Now, Kiera, pay attention and go rescue Nice Alec.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.com
