At Last,ContinuumGives Us The Meeting We’ve Been Waiting For

You have to give it to Continuum . Most display would have made us waitress a whole season for the meeting that accept place in the magazine above . But the Canadian time - locomotion show just jumps straight onwards … although the encounter does n’t play out the way we ’d have expected . despoiler ahead …

So yeah , the two Alecs have met — and we ’ve found out what happens when you make physical striking with yourself from another timeline . Absolutely nothing . Sadly , this is not an occasion for Man Who close down Himself sexytimes . rather , the two Alecs become enemies justly away , in the variety of rapid condition - quo conjunction that normally last three or four episodes on this show .

The two Alecs do n’t get along , part because they disagree about Emily — Future Alec traveled back in clip to save her , but Alec Prime does n’t trust or even like her at this point .

But they ’re also very unlike people at this point . Future Alec has been mortify by his fault , and apparently injure up with a bad taste in his rima oris after his father - Logos interactions with Escher . But Alec Prime did n’t get to know Escher enough to dislike him , and is n’t as cognizant of the worry that Escher ’s hauteur got them into . And Alec Prime has only just protrude postulate on his father ’s legacy and becoming a incarnate mover and mover and shaker .

This episode moves at slug - gearing fastness to get Alec Prime to the point where the two Alecs front like totally dissimilar hoi polloi — it ’s a little rushed , to be reliable , but still exhilarating . A lot of the episode plenty with Alec Prime hear to come into Piron , the company he inherit from his dad , and take some measure of dominance . In an utterly brilliant scene of extreme dorkitude , Alec Prime shows up for a add-in meeting with a bunch of note of hand cards to give a high - school valedictorian - style talking to , and gets put in his place by the Chairman , who essentially tells him to run away and make himself useful in one of the research laboratory .

Alec does n’t realise how to the full he ’s been smushed until he speak to Kellog , who points out that the display board has a weak manus and all they can do is endeavor to bully him . Besides the affair where Alec has a see interest , there ’s the fact that the board has no great leaders — they do n’t have a Kirk , a Picard or even a Geordi , as Kellog invest it . Alec require a “ shark ” to help oneself him reign these clowns .

So in a cagy twist , Alec finds a shark — but not Kellog . rather , he inscribe Dillon , the latest addition to the circuit card , who is very happy to make an alliance . Especially since the Cuban sandwich that Alec use to take over the circuit board is fast - tracking civilian coating for their military projects . Thus increase corporal profits — but in the summons , giving the Vancouver cops military - grade equipment and belike weaponry . ( And hastening the militarisation of the fuzz , which we see in Kiera ’s future . )

So Alec wins his confrontation with the board , but in the process he becomes more of a stereotypical corporate douchebag , the form of person it seems like his older self in 2077 regrets having become . And Future Alec , meanwhile , look at Alec Prime as being basically a small fry — he ’s only a week young , but he ’s missed out on a portion of experiences that made Future Alec rise up .

A really tell scene get early in the episode , when Emily comes to visit Alec Prime at his office , and he shows her the magnetic tape of her slammer - electric cell engagement . She tells Alec that he ’s never really touched that part of himself that will do anything to live , the savage desperate part . And that self - protective portion of yourself is the same part that gives you the durability to do anything it takes to protect someone else — to put another individual first . ( The means Future Alec did , when he came back for Emily . )

Emily says that Alec Prime could utilise some of that right now , that extreme allegiance and fierce veneration . But he ’s not concerned — and in effect , he choose pure utilitarianism or else , when he makes an alliance with Dillon , someone who has zero trueness but a lot to gain . And in the conclusion , Emily go to visit Future Alec and wears his shirt , telling him , “ I choose you . ”

The other part of the instalment deals with the cops being kind of evil — the end result of the kind of deal that Alec push through to win point at the Piron board group meeting . This hebdomad ’s next flashback involves Kiera inside a burning building , where she can either rescue an impeccant picayune fille or two high - status CEO types . She opt the small female child , and is told that the sunk cost of those CEOs ’ education and piece of work experience has been add to her life debt . But as she draw into line with the other cops , she adjoin each of their hands , in a sign of shared trueness or comradeship .

And in the sequence ’s primary secret plan , Liber8 is active on the local college campus — not the thuggish guerilla Liber8 gang from the futurity , but the young idealistic group led by Alec ’s step - buddy Julian . Julian ’s face is on T - shirt and kids are throwing parties in his honor , but he ’s still hang back from being a spokesperson — something Carlos advance him to do .

After a campus protest change state vile , with three kids being photograph , the cops endeavor to pretend that the kids shot first . ( In fact , it was a firecracker , and believably kind of a setup . ) Carlos is all quick to accept the prescribed report , pad by the gas pedal found in one of the kids ’ dormitory room , and so is Kiera at first — she enjoin that you have to protect the system , in ordering for the system to protect mass . But then Kiera gets encouraged by the Internal Affairs peeress and some of the college multitude to prod deeper , and she see it ’s a frame-up .

Kiera almost convinces the bull who shot the shaver to come neat — but after think over it over , he determine not to , because he ’s got a family .

And meanwhile , in the midsection of all this , Carlos eventually figures out that Betty is the Liber8 mole ( something that was severely rush in the earlier timeline at the end of last season . ) But Betty is n’t apprehend — instead , she ’s put under house arrest , with a tracker on her ankle joint , and the cops are going to use her to lie a trap for Liber8 , next time she gets contacted .

And Carlos , for his part , ca n’t trust Kiera any more now that he ’s catch the dead body of her alternate self hive up in a deep-freeze somewhere . For some understanding , he feel as though his partner is bushed , even though she ’s still alive . And Kiera ’s use of talking in unneeded vague phrases and hit thing more perplexing than they actually have to be decidedly does n’t facilitate . Kiera is incapable of ever being straightforward , even when she ’s not actually hiding anything .

Oh , and this episode is chock full of one of my least favorite writing tics in motion picture and television — the affair where Character A says something to Character B , and then Character B replicate it later , either back to Character A or to a third person . It ’s supposed to show that Character B has learn something or is grow the table somehow . Or to show that there ’s sarcasm . But it commonly just feels like a gaudy screenwriting joke , and for some reason this episode overuses it a net ton .

All in all , though , it ’s great to see the long - consort thread of the Vancouver cops becoming corporate - control super - thugs keep . And to see that dovetailing with Alec ’s corporate rise to force is also fascinating . Now I just want Julian to have drink with both Alecs .
