Mu Zeta posted:Gunfights look like dogshit after watching Strike Back. And the CQC stuff is done better in Nikita or Spartacus. I like the show otherwise but I pretty much skip past the fight scenes. Especially since people rarely die. Gunplay in Strike Back is much more plot armor based, like an action film, throughout the run of the show. I was rewatching an early (US) Season 2 firefight and it looked utterly ridiculous, with the two leads running out into the open and never once coming close to getting hit. Everyone in Continuum knows how to hug cover and that's why nobody dies in a face to face firefight. Fight scenes in Nikita may have improved in later seasons, but I quit watching in Season 1 after a horribly shot action scene in the finale.

I was happy to see her and Kiera team up in Season 3. Edit: Kellog is still my favorite dude but I don't really consider him Liber8 anymore.

I'm tempted to say Lucas because of his reaction when Kiera and the former Liber8 members start recruiting for the Piron takedown. "Whatever you guys are planning... I. AM. IN!" Also, cockroach drone escape plan.

Travis. Probably the best version of the "warrior philosopher" I've ever seen. The actor does an incredibly excellent work portraying someone who really just wants to murder everyone around him all the time without it affecting his intellect or reasoning. Garza is an incredibly close second though. The episode that centers on her is one of the best ones. I can't get over how smart and competent literally everyone on Liber8 is, all of them can cause huge trouble to Cameron by themselves, it took the death of their leader and a literal war between them to stop their near-total victory run and even then they were on top for most of the time. Very few shows do that for the villains.

They even made Jaworsky more than just the guy who dies right away. Not much more, admittedly, but I don't know many shows that would do a third-season flashback episode featuring a character who died in the first episode of the first season. I'm still gonna say Garza is my favorite, though, with Travis and Lucas tied for second place. The show does a good job of giving everyone a character rather than an alignment.

That's such a crazy episode, conceptually. Effectively, it's a complete one-off, and only features three of the show's regulars. One of whom, Alec, only appears for about thirty seconds. It's set in a completely different time period, focusses on the show's least developed lead (Sonya), and its plot is a complete shaggy dog story. But it's also one of the show's biggest episodes, where Keira finally realises that she's been a complete rear end, leading to her breaking up with the Freelancers, and we understand how Kagame formed Liber8 and what Keira's husband was like, and a whole bunch of other little details that hadn't really been clarified. It's really impressive, and I'm honestly astonished that an episode like that got made.

I bet Cap that Kiera's 2080 vision was preprogrammed by SadAlec to refocus her on coming home, particularly since Gaeta the CMR Maintenance Program showed up.

I can honestly say I can't even imagine where the show is going to go for its last few episodes. poo poo's all crazy. Does Keira's future even exist any more for her to get back to? Isn't the existence of Kellog's military regime overwriting her original 2077 in some fashion? Shouldn't she realize there's no home to go back to?

Since the very start I have been thinking it would be impossible for Keira to go back to "her" timeline with her kid waiting for her. Just too many time traveling butterflies have been flapping their wings in the past. However I fear the producers will want this kind of a happy ending, with her going "I missed you so much" and they kid going like "How was your day at work?". But if the writers go a totally non cheesy route and surprise us with a totally incredible ending... that would be great.

For her? Maybe it would be... knowing the other alternatives may have been much worse. PS remind me, what exactly triggered the Kellogapocalypse timeline? Him taking control over Piron/Sadtech, correct? So we can easily guess who the Spacemarines' first target will be, and who will be the one trying to stop them because *reasons*.

Not really. It was Alec x2 that set that future in motion, given that that's right when Tonkin came back and Kiera from that timeline got shot by him. I think the future soldiers are working for Kellog and will be reporting to him in the present time. Hence why Kellog got a message from himself, to inform him that they're there and targeting his enemies.

The fact that we had two Keiras at one point pretty much eliminates any chance of her old timeline existing in any way. If she ever "goes back", there will be another Keira there, with her own different family, if any. I like to imagine Alec knows this full well, but doesn't know how to tell her. On the other hand, this show isn't really super smart about time poo poo, so who knows.

On the other hand, this show isn't really super smart about time poo poo, so who knows. Yeah, but wouldn't that Kiera eventually be sent back in time, at which point, original Kiera could take back her spot? Maybe original Kiera is now the one who pushes Alec to send everyone back into the past in the first place, all so she could get back to her family without the two Kiera problem. Though that brings up a paradox, only solved if old Alec on his own decides to send them all back to change the future. To clarify all that: Old Alec on own volition sends everyone back in time ---> Original Kiera somehow gets back to 2077 ----> Two Kieras exist in the timeline and she needs to get rid of one -----> convinces the new old Alec to send everyone back in time -----> Kiera 2 is sent back in time and affects a different timeline entirely ----> Original Kiera gets to live with her alt timeline family.

I don't know, to me there's no reason to think that this timeline's 2077 is in any way similar to the one Kiera remembers. A Kiera might not even be born this time around, and if she is, her life might be completely different. I mean, we've already moved from a sleek dysopia future to apocalyptic warzone with power armor future. I guess the time machine works on magic anyway, so you could always write it to somehow send her to the correct timeline and everyone lives happily ever after, but it would be more interesting to see her deal with her family not existing anymore.

They have shown us nothing to lead us to believe that they can access alternate futures at any point in the show. I still think they missed a massive opportunity in not having both Kiera's alive and in competition for the same ticket home.
