Where is he/it headed and what will it do when it gets there?
Before then, theres a surprising amount of chatter.
They are each others greatest strength, but also the best way to destroy the other.
Their connection causes as much pain as joy.
Remember, Kovacs Prime is the one who killed him.
And it wasnt that long ago.
Theyre also both good in a later scene in which Trepp almost gets vengeance for that pain.
Theyve arguably been the best supporting characters this season.
More on that later.
They need Konrad Harlan to bargain with the monster.
Well, thats not going to really happen.
Danica tosses them a dead stack, revealing that Konrad didnt leave it was a coup.
Maybe the Elder will take the stack anyway and know its job is done.
That doesnt sound fun.
A hologram of Lizzie comes to him again, ready to extract, archive, and reboot him.
Its the program Dig designed to extract and preserve data.
She would need a friendly face.
(Why not her own?
She tells Poe, Its going to feel like dying.
She has to wipe everything, and then rebuild him.
Poe can never catch a break, but he decides he needs to save his organic friends first.
He may not have much time left, but hes not going to squander it.
He locks his Elder artifact in place as Trepp starts to freak out below.
Danica moves forward and convinces the Elder to take the stack of her father.
And then she pulls a gun and shoots Carrera before taking aim at Tak and Quell too.
Never trust anyone who is willing to overthrow their own father.
And then all hell breaks loose.
The Elder Jaeger drains her brain the same way it did the Founders.
And then everybody fights!
Theres some pretty excellent fight choreography that ends with Taks hand over Carreras on a gun.
Before it can take over, he looks at Quell, saying, Survive.
And then he calls Angelfire down on himself, and Takeshi Kovacs goes up in blue flame.
This is a future that offers clean slates, but no culture can escape its own history.
Hes starting from scratch.
He recognizes the end ofAnnabel Leethat she reads.
Hes still in there.
Oh, and hes got a secret.
Hes storing a raw human DHF.
Takeshi Kovacs is going to need a stiff drink.
What do you hope?
Do you want a third Takeshi?
What do you want from a season three in general?
As I said, this is a show with so much technology that anything can happen.
So where do you think it should go next?
The full titles playing for the first time since the season premiere reminds me how good they are.
After all, people who dont want them will just hit that Skip Intro button anyway.
Whos your MVP this year?
Its not even Chris Conner, who made a bigger impact in year one.
And the season really picked up when Will Yun Lee returned.
He added a physical presence it needed.
