Well, thats more like it.
Nightmare Alley opens with a tense scene between Harlan, Kovacs, and Carrera.
Now that the assassin has been captured, Harlan wants Carrera off her world.
It probably wont be that easy.
Talk about your speedy judicial processes.
Poe hears this news and panics.
He taps into an interesting A.I.
interface, a sort of union where A.I.s hang out and internet with each other?
He meets Dig 301 (Dina Shihabi), who was named after a site on the planet.
Theyre out of work and have nothing to do.
It looks like Poe has a new ally!
And then Rei (Dichen Lachman) returns!
Rei and Tak talk about how much he hurt her and how hes convinced something is wrong with Quell.
They dont even just want faces of people Tak hates, they want to make it personal.
Of course, it takes more juice than normal to get anything important out of Taks brain.
Of course, Carrera knows what these four faces mean: this is Takeshi Kovacs.
They will take the form of the people extracted from Taks mind and attempt to kick his ass.
Imagine if someone who looked like a lost-love or dead friend was beating you to death.
He trained Tak, but also betrayed him and lied to him.
The combat starts with a synth that looks like Kristin Ortega, an ally from season one.
And its the real one, not the synth.
Making it back to the hotel, Kovacs and Falconer are finally together again after all these years.
Now they just have to figure out what to do when the entire universe is hunting you down.
It also happens to be the title of a current film being shot by Guillermo del Toro.
Does anyone else think Elliot should have gone first in the Circle?
Carrera tells his second in command at the end to Activate Evergreen, which seems to startle even him.
Who or what is Evergreen?
Poes new friend is a nice addition.
Lets hope she sticks around.
Lets see if they can keep up this quality level for the final five.
