the ending to #AlteredCarbon S2 is a little disappointing. I was kinda excited that Kovacs had a backup, but then I'm like, "wait, so Poe could just *do* that?" it's well established that doing backups isn't really done unless you're really rich, but Poe manages to do it while all the other drama is going on and he's glitching out?
also, our heros have a habit of not dying when they're supposed to even though, allegedly, ending arbitrary life extension is part of their grander mission. it's like the writers didn't really jive with the death cult so they decided the proponents would only pay lip service. (yeah, yeah: they didn't choose to be backed up and restored plus envoys "take what is offered". point is, the authors put them there against all odds)
@freemo yeah. S2 is mostly tying up loose ends. the plot was pretty transparent at most halfway in. turning the legendary Quellchrist Falconer into a person, even an exceptional person, was doomed to fall flat at times despite the acting being good. I appreciate it for what it is, but there's a fair bit to overcome.
hey, sequels are hard
