Her tremors come and go at the whims of the plot. Her grade 4 spinal tumor somehow allows her to maintain normal energy levels, such that it doesn't affect her ability to pass as healthy. When she was told the tumor could not be excised, she decided to continue working in field deployments, even if her condition makes…

This episode introduced yet another tidbit of information that makes the base's structure even more nonsensical: an abandoned Russian trading post from the 1850s. WAT?! I distinctly remember this show stating something about being above the 85th parallel; that places them on ocean water. How is there a trading outpost…

Yeah, it's one of those things that is better when shown than spoken about. The disconnect is exactly because we're not seeing the deleterious effects of higher crime rates. It doesn't help that many of the cases that Dorian and Kennex handle tend to take them into the better neighborhoods (the chromes and their drug…

Yeah, they're embarrassing themselves by constantly alluding to that movie. Having lofty goals is fine, and the occasional shout-out could be a nice in-joke. Unfortunately, every time Kennex visits the bad part of town at night, that Blade Runner backdrop is just an unwelcome reminder of the quality gap between both…

Ah, yes, good example! I forgot about that opening segment. Regardless of the price, the tech is clearly at consumer-level and Rudy might as well buy himself a holo-phone and use that in lieu of his antiquated projection slabs.

He probably wasn't wondering, because no one can see downvotes anymore. At least, I haven't seen a downvote count in days. I don't know why Disqus bothers with a down caret if it serves no purpose anymore (maybe mods can see downvotes).

The show completely sidestepped this issue by flat out saying they have no clue why the nanobots were behaving this way.

I suppose, but that robot only lives for a few seconds before it explodes on impact, LOL! I don't know that there's a huge narrative to be mined there (certainly not in the episode they ended up presenting). Well … maybe they can do a short story on how, even with a brief existence, that robot fulfilled its life's…

I think part of the problem is that they decided to haphazardly reveal a whole bunch of new tech. If they narrowed their scope, they could have focused more on the impact and consequences of specific tech. I mean, did we really need to know about kill-switch hearts and zig-zagging bullets?

Awww, you cut off the part I found most hilarious:

I found it odd that the blind woman was even typing on a (Braille?) keyboard. Today's computers can accept voice input, and I'd expect that a future with synthetic soul is capable of producing a fully voice-driven machine (that's basically what the androids are anyway). "Siri, how do I reveal to Eric that I'm actually…

If the wall is what's keeping out the uncontrollable crime wave, then the show should just drop that bit from the opening narrative until it's ready to address that part of the story. Currently, there's a severe disconnect between the voice over and what the series is showing us. It actually breeds disappointment…

That inconsistency is frustrating, because this show could be really awesome if it would just follow through with the implications of the various tech it introduces. Portable force fields, exo-suits that allow people to live double lives, sentient machines, etc. are all ripe with multiple stories to tell.…

Yeah, this show has never successfully showed the crime war that the opening narration mentions. The city doesn't evoke a population stressed by urban warfare. It just comes across as a regular city with typical inner-city strife and some bad neighborhoods.

Well, I only noted that the holo-phone was mass-market; I don't actually know if it's cheap or not. However, the tech itself is presented as a common mode of video conferencing. When the guy said he was gonna summon his lawyer, everyone in the room understood that a holo call was about to happen.

So … Dorian has super strength (enough to flip a truck), and electro-shock hands. That means he should be able to subdue and detain anyone just by grabbing a hold of them. Send out a minor electric jolt to stun if needed, give a bear hug to hold in place … then sit down until Kennex swings by with some handcuffs (I'm…

Unfortunately, the show remains nebulous about its Arctic setting. The only thing they've implied is that the base is beyond the jurisdiction of the surrounding countries (so, the international waters region directly at the North Pole). That leaves me to infer that it's the cold climate that matters; otherwise, as you…

It's weird because the first episode made a point of explicitly showing how the RFIDs are stuck inside each person's hand. I thought that was an obvious hint from the writers that people are being tracked. Apparently not, because no one's using this any differently than a SmartCard.

Yeah, I can't see Arctic ice supporting a structure that size, since most of the ice is only ~1 meter thick, LOL. Icebreakers are even designed to just ram right through the ice. Considering that base is the size of a multistory building, with (presumably) at least 18 floors, it has to be a floating vessel.

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire base is run by a single power grid, and attached via a single conduit to the wind-powered generators up top. Take out the connection and suddenly the entire base blacks out LOL! Then the show will start spewing "backup battery power" jargon, and everyone will run around under red…
