geebsTV commentary:
Continuum- Some crazy stuff this ep! So Kiera teams up with Garza to look into that building the future soldiers wanted last ep. Garza wants to blow it up, but Kiera thinks it can be used to get back to the future. So Garza and Kiera fight, and almost get caught. Lucas ends up having to go in to try and save them. And he does, shooting the future soldier leader guy in the head before he can stab Kiera to death. Unfortunately, Brad reacts instinctively to his friend getting killed by blowing Lucas away. So poor Lucas is dead.
Still don't know what Brad's game is. It really didn't seem like he meant to kill Lucas- or rather he just shot whoever shot his friend, not realizing it was Lucas. But yeah, he does seem sorry, sort of. I mean, he knows killing Lucas would upset Kiera, but his friend just died too. In any case, he does seem to still let Kiera and Garza go, covering their escape. And then when there's dissension amongst the future soldiers on what to do, with the guy who doesn't trust Brad already making plans, and some of the other troops saying Brad is next in the chain of command. But then Brad concedes leadership. I guess he thinks it better to appease the one guy because he still needs them to do something.
Anyways, other stuff, Julian tries to destroy his manifesto, not wanting to be the "bad guy" in the future. But Curtis apparently had some lady post it online already. Who? Kagame's mom. So Julian confronts her, finding out she's Mrs. Kagame and that Curtis is also at her hpuse. Interesting though, Curtis tells him he can choose his own destiny. Alec also says Julian's manifesto is pretty good, and if he (Alec) didn't become a corporate overlord in the future, maybe it wouldn't be so bad and desperate that Julian's manifesto wouldn't be co-opted by the desperate and dissatisfied as a rallying call to violence.
So in the end, it seems like Julian is going to help raise young Kagame so he doesn't become a zealot?
Doctor Who- Okay, that was pretty metal. The Doctor shredding on the electric guitar while riding a tank? Awesome. Also, how smooth is he? Noticing Clara, and then when she asks how he could see her in the crowd, he was all, what crowd? Doc's got game.
I'm not sure all is at it seems in this ep. Like Missy's back all fine with no explanation. And in the end, both she and Clara get disintegrated by the Daleks right in front of the Doctor, and they also destroy the Tardis. Like I'm sure that really happened!
Interesting though, what is Davros game? Did he purposely engineer things to make the Doctor see the Daleks destroy his friends and the Tardis, to convince him to kill kid Davros and make sure the Daleks never get created? Which I hate that conundrum, where someone is all, if you had a chance to kill someone before they commit some really atrocious act or acts, would you do it? Maybe if the act was fresh. But a hundred, or a thousand years having passed? Like yes, the Daleks killed trillions upon trillions. But if they didn't exist, how radically different would the Doctor's universe be?
Like he's trying to save Clara, but if the Daleks never existed, he might never have met her. Or any of his other friends- I mean, he wouldn't be all grumpy from the aftermath of the Time War, might not have met Rose, and have those adventures were he met all those other friends and companions. Like there were more than a few regenerations that prolly wouldn't have happened if there was no Daleks to menace the universe.
It just seems like it would be a huge paradox if he killed young Davros. But I guess we'll see how everything turns out.
