Deus Ex Latrina notes
Vancouver 2214
Bishop has been working on a mystery project and pouring
billions into it.
No Bishop, don’t start singing.
Bishop’s built his own waverider from the blueprints he got
from copy of Gideon
Ava: Waverider. Are you married to that name, or can we still
pitch on it?
So Bishop did end up with a factory reset Gideon at the end
of episode 100
Section A2 is the only bathroom. It is creepy that Gideon has cameras there.
So Bishop now sort of remembers what happened in the finale.
Gideon is apparently authorized to administer the time
masters oath
Hmm. Still using the
1925 opening credits. I wonder if they
will all season or if we’re going to go back there.
Davies thinks the time ship was damaged by the extra weight
Gary thinks they’re in the prehistoric era just by the
plants. They shouldn’t have spoiled that
in the trailer.
He needs to repair the directional compass.
We’ve still got techie Zari and also B to help with the
repairs.
Zari and Nate are being super adult about such a big
decision.
Spooner can read minds.
They’ve been pretty vague on her exact power set.
Good plan on Nate’s part to separate them so they stop
stressing one another out.
Sara: Yeah, let’s go
stab something.
Gary is being super supportive
Gary and Gideon are bonding on strawberry rhubarb
I get why having Bishop the villain for two back to back
seasons looked good on paper for COVID
And now we’re getting the ship;s destruction from Bishop’s
point of view. And as expected he’s the
cause of everything.
It’s nice how the balance of power with Bishop and Gideon is
slowly shifting and he hasn’t noticed.
Davies believes that he’s always meant to fail,
He thinks his attempt to save his friend are going against
gods will and therefore doomed to fail and he should be punished for trying.
End of the first act before we get the hint about radiation
showing that we’re not in the prehistoric
The food is fabricated, but from what.
Bishop is still giddy about being a time-fixer.
Ah, this is him being alerted that J. Edgar Hoover was just
killed by the legends.
Using the problem as the solution is good strategy.
And this is the origin of the Hoover robot, which will
totally fix the problem the Legends
created.
Or would if he didn’t include the part about killing the
Legends.
Astra’s cool spell magiced a stick into an axe. That was fun.
We never saw that kind of thing with John, did we?
Gideon’s meal keeps getting interrupted by The Legends
mistakes we saw earlier in the season, which is a nice structure.
Gideon’s right. J.
Edgar Hoover’s determination on hunting the legends is what causes
problems. Bishop is deliberately
ignoring the only one who understands what’s going on.
The tight zooms on gideons robot parts are very sinister,
And now Gideon, programmed to do whatever necessary to
preserve the timeline, is being shown that Bishop and Assistant Ava are a threat
to the timeline.
Gary: Did I miss your
epiphany? You better not have one without me.
It’s kind of nice showing Nate taking the time to
emotionally process the situation
And here’s a quick peek at the secret origin of Behrad
steaking the wind totem.
Man Matt Ryan is selling emotional breakdown well.
I’m loving having Behrad spend time with Zari 1.0
The sinister throbbing as Gideon lures Ava to the cargo bay
is a nice touch.
Very 2001
Gideon: I’m sorry
Ava, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Man, seeing Gideon straight up murder Ava is stone
cold. Even with them both being
alternate versions.
Gwyn’s panic attacks still really resonate
Cue Qwyn’s tragic backstory
Gwyn: Talk? What do you want to talk about, then?
Zari: … About what
happened to you… Oh right, you’re from the olden times.
She’s actually really understanding about giving Gwyn some
slack for being from a time when you didn’t talk about feelings or trauma
I kind of groove on Spooner and Sara as hunting buddies.
Ava really is long overdue to vent her frustration
Astra: That was a
phenomenal scream. Trust me, I
know. I’ve caused a lot of them.
Man Olivia Swan can rock a pantsuit
Gideon and Gary being equally socially awkward really works
in an unexpected way
OK, they’ve finally clarified, Gary really turns human, it
is not just an illusion field or something.
Very David Tennant ‘Yah’ out of Gary
Gideon: You’ve been living
as a human for quite a while now. So you
must have so many wonderful experiences.
Gary: Yah. But there are so many more things I’d do if
we weren’t so busy saving the world.
Gideon: Like what
else? Would you swim in the ocean?
Gary: Oh, as soon as I get the chance.
Gideon: Mm. Would you skydive?
Gary: No. I’m… uh… afraid
of heights.
Gideon: Would you
like to have sexual intercourse with me?
Gary: …
I wonder if the protocol of one captain one AI is true, or Gideon
justifying what she did.
1916 – Gwyn was in the Great War and was supposed to deliver
a message about reinforcements, but then his love was gunned down and he froze.
Great slow burn in this about revealing that Gwyn was in
love with his friend and believes he’s being punished. Being punished for being gay is lurking just
underneath the surface.
What a delightful surprise that Gwyn speaks Russian. His accent sounds pretty good to me
The reveal of where and when they actually are is 2/3s into
the run time,
So it’s really evil Gideon that’s doing all the robot work
Evil Alt-Gideon really is quite chilling
Nice shioe drop that Gideon had replaced Bishop with a
robot.
They’re even making fun of how stupid his plan was as part
of the reveal that he was the bad guy.
Bishop: Tell me I don’t
become a bad guy.
The causality loop of whether Bishop’s plan was ever really
his could go for quite some time.
OMG, they’re selling me on Gary and Gideon as a couple
I want someone to love me the way Gwyn loved Alan
Oo, ,really nice connection Behrad/Alan that ties these two together nicely
Tala Ashe is just so good.
And just like that, Gwyn is a Legend. I wonder if they’ll give him powers
I couldn’t have told you the date of Chernobyl
1986 – April 26. Big
twist reveal, but it’s gotten really buried in the mix and feels like it comes
too late in the episode.
April is in English on the Russian calendar
Behrad must have watched that miniseries.
Zari and Behrad should really know better that to make this
big a change in history.
And they just don’t have enough time to deal with the repercussions
of such a big thing
And now the power dynamic has completely flipped
It totally makes sense he’d have learned Russian in WWI
I really love Gwyn Davies
They’re almost treating Spooner and Astra as a romantic
couple. I kind of hope they keep them as
friends.
And now Bishop is totally trapped by alt-Gideon. Of course he’d take an opportunity to escape,
and they already set up that the bathroom doesn’t have surveillance
*** Are you ready to save the timeline from the Legends,
Captain?
Nate’s agreed to go live in the totem. I hope they aren’t writing him out.
Have we ever seen the bathroom before?
The slow burn race of descending toilet v. powering up time
machine is… I’m going to go with epic.
