Continuum Season 2 Canadian pace. No spoilers until aired.

[techs]

I don't know if there will be enough people on the Canadian pace, instead of the Syfy pace, which begins in two weeks.
But here goes.

First episode tonite called "Second Chances"

 

[ViRGE]

Oh it's tonight?! I thought it wasn't until next week. Thanks for the heads up.

Sweet!! Can't wait.

Ok, this is a big spoiler but I am not going to put it in spoiler tags.

Rachel Nichols had the thingy under her eye removed!

 

[ImpulsE69]

Lost interest after 2 episodes...can't believe this got a second season yet all the other...somewhat to much betters don't make it a season. (Speaking of which..how is Revolution still on?)

I understand the need to keep a mystery, but this is getting silly. If they're not going to answer questions then I'm not going to watch.

Remember Lost? Questions were never answered. Writers couldn't answer them even if they wanted.

You know what? I just realized that this show is essentially 'The Following' except with time travel, future stuff, and not completely incompetent cops with bad guys you can somewhat empathize with. More accurately, "The Following" is a shitty version of this show.

Tonight's episode finally had something that the series has been lacking for most of its run: lightheartedness and humor.

Yes, by far the best episode of the new season.

I wonder if the girl, played by Magda Apanowicz from Caprica, is a plant. Either from the future or hired by someone in the present.

Just got into this show a week ago. I saw Netflix had it, but didn't really take interest in it until I was rewatching Alias and thought, "wow, this Rachel Nichols should have her own show". I checked her IMDB and sure enough Continuum listed.

I was hooked from the first episode. Love the story, it has a good mix of action, and production values are pretty good. The only downside is it seems that they "downsized" Liberate (Liber8) fairly quickly in just over a season. Which isn't bad, necessarily, it just seems that they aren't as strong a presence... though that could easily change during this season. Still, one of the best sci-fi shows I've seen in a long time. Reminds me a bit of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in terms of the basic premise, but it has a faster pace and I'm definitely enjoying this more. The kid from Jericho (I can't remember his name ) isn't bad as one of the main characters, either.

Up to Season 3, Episode 3 now.
I'm surprised more people aren't watching it, it's very good.

Quick show of hands, did anyone not not see that coming? A mole twist only works if it's not blindingly obvious; in this case being the woman scorned.

And Mr. Gaeta is getting grey.

It works even better when the twist is actually misleading and the person we believe to be the mole at the end really is undercover for a person who gets fired?

Although, I think I remember seeing Jennifer Spence was in a pilot that was picked up for the fall season so they could be writing her out.

I do think Brian Markinson might be out since he is in demand as an actor, especially since his stint on Mad Men.

Oh, and it would interesting if Mr. Escher is really Kellog! Alec invents the time machine some years from now and an older Kellog uses it come back to the present.

Just posting to say I'm catching up and will be up to speed soon. I have one episode in the first season left to watch.

 

[Pardus]

• Kiera doesn't work for the police or fbi, yet she has money to pay for rent, food, clothing.
• Kiera has no social security card or birth certificate, yet she managed to get a car and place to live without issue
• Profanity in Season 2 has increased.
• Kiera had a mole in Season 1, now its gone in Season 2
• Vancouver, Canada in 2077 looks very bleak, no flying cars and shortage of water.

• Kiera doesn't work for the police or fbi, yet she has money to pay for rent, food, clothing.

She obtained money when she busted one of the Liberat8 operations.

• Kiera has no social security card or birth certificate, yet she managed to get a car and place to live without issue

She has an identity manufactured by Alec Sadler who is one of the greatest computer hackers of all time and a genius.

• Profanity in Season 2 has increased.

I hadn't noticed. Except that in Season 2 Liberat8 is dealing with gangs and the underworld where profanity is used more.

• Kiera had a mole in Season 1, now its gone in Season 2

I'm not complaining. Rachel Nichols had the mole removed and it looks better.

• Vancouver, Canada in 2077 looks very bleak, no flying cars and shortage of water.

Actually the police do have "flying cars." Regular commuters use public transportation. I don't think anyone still has ground based cars since resources are in short supply and are rationed

Hope that clears things up for you.

 

[gorobei]

you guys should clarify if you are talking about the story mole or the mole(skin growth) under her eye.

the show runner joked that they will have to cg the mole back in on all the flash fowards in season 2.

 

[ViRGE]

It must be the middle of the season. Everything just got turned on its head.

Poor nerd. He thinks he has game, only to be interrupted. And it's all a ruse anyhow.

 

[techs]

Yet again something important happens that we don't get told about. First it was the contents of the message that Alec sent himself from the future and now its what Escher and Kiera talked about.

As to Caprica girl, I was convinced from the beginning she was a plant. The only question was whether she was from the future herself or merely a contemporary working for other parties. We still don't know.

And why didn't Keira show Carlos her gun or just turn invisible to prove who she was?

The part where psycho killer saw the tech in Keiras eyes would seem to indicate if Keira were to be examined by a doctor or emt they would also see it. So I guess it will never be mentioned again.

As or my speculation, Mr. Escher is here on behalf of the future corporations to protect the future against changes to the timeline.

 

[Imp]

Hope that clears things up for you.

Actually, if you remember from Episode 1 of Season 1, Kiera uses her suit to jack an ATM for a lot of money. She could just be doing that non-stop -- it's the bank/corporation's money and she's "commandeering" it as an OCP employee.

And shit: I forgot last week's episode was on after a repeat week, so missed it... I hate watching television online (from official channel website).

I found this weeks episode to be much better than the "felix" episode.

 

[silverpig]

I am enjoying it quite a bit, but I just hope they don't go down the "there's 5 moles running around" path. We've already got tech-girl, and now caprica-girl too? I guess the inspector will be one as well as he's now in Escher's pocket.

"Caprica girl" - AH! I finally recognize her now. I knew I'd seen her somewhere.

P.S. The reveal to her partner about her futureness was not handled well. The overall story they wrote for it was OK, but some of the lines sucked or at least the way they did it in the show didn't play well IMO. That Sherlock Holmes line just seemed so cliched. The actor almost seemed like he was flinching when he recited that line.

I took it as the actor/character knowing how cliched it was, but that it was true in that situation.
