Multiple breaks per season is annoying. But multiple arcs per season is working pretty well. I would absolutely love for the next arc to be callback porn. The most lurid, raunchy callback porn ever made. I want Hunter, Bobbi, and Tripp. I want Cal. I want to not recognize that a certain character is Gordon who never lost his eyes and have it pointed out to me in this thread. I want Skye to wear that turtleneck thing from season 2. I want them to visit plot points they will probably never revisit in-continuity. Just go bonkers with it, get some payoff out of the groundwork laid for plots that ended up not happening and characters that didn't get enough screentime. And if this is the last arc, there's nothing like callback porn and the characters journeying into their own minds to make it feel as climactic as it should. I like the theory that Simmons' grave is their rendezvous point/backdoor exit from The Framework. Although an emergency unburial scene would be cool I am guessing part of the way her life changed is she faked her death at some point. Also where did "if you die in the framework, you die in real life" come from? Was this episode the first time it was mentioned? Obviously it was done to add tension to the coming arc but I don't remember it being hinted at before. Could just have forgotten.

The multi arc per season thing really won me over. I've been wanting the CW shows to do split seasons for a while now.

I think it's because it was stated that consciousness/mind exists independent from the body, so it can only exist in one locale at a time. And if it's destroyed, game over. However, that does open the door to the original mind being planted into an LMD, rather than a facsimile.

One thing I noticed on a rewatch was that you could see Daisy's dancing luau girl car trinket next to the picture of her and Ward. I think that further reinforces that her NPC is still Skye in the simulation? I feel like she got rid of it at one point when she became Daisy.

Network TV seems to be getting aggressively shittier this year. Every network show I watch has had multiple month+ long breaks, AoS, Bob's Burgers, Lucifer. It's like they're upset that their slide into irrelevance isn't going fast enough and actively want to push people towards better sources of media even faster. Maybe they're really doing us all a favor.

I don't know what to tell you, man. With AoS, at least, would you prefer they had a break of one or two weeks every episode or two, or would you prefer they air a bunch of episodes in a row until the arc they're pushing is finished? They went with the latter and I'm pretty happy with that decision even if I have to wait until April to see the rest.

The days of every single show running fall to spring on the 2-4 channels you got, with everything competing directly with each other, no way to record shows, and nothing new for the entire summer were so. much. worse. I really like the quarterly AoS pods; by the next break (hopefully not because the show's canceled), some other show I like will be starting up again.

The big downside for me of the "pods" separated by weeks or months is that continuously-run shows are easier to follow. I think I would miss the start of one of the pods were it not for this thread; a friend of mine missed the first six (!) episodes of LMD.

Squirrel Girl needs to deal with Civil War 2 for some reason. Actually no, because she'd just stop it. The last time they ended everything and did a limited time event was Secret Wars, which honestly, was amazing and done really well in its lead up, mostly because it was like a 4 year build up.

Maybe they're really doing us all a favor. The fact the networks aren't reorganizing into primarily streaming companies that also air TV yet is baffling. Network TV is dead. The more they claw in and try to keep it going, the more it's going to tear the gently caress apart. Streaming is the future and finally the market agrees with that. ED: They really need to look at HBO Go. It's a perfect example of how to make the transition. Also I think the fact the golden era of TV is rising at the same time that network TV is dying is very, very linked. Network involvement has hurt shows for too long and I will forever hold that traditional TV ratings are INCREDIBLE bullshit, mathematically; the sample size is both too small, and leans too heavily on audiences that would actually want to gently caress with a ratings box. Streaming numbers don't lie (or favor aging families who love Dancing with the loving Stars). Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Feb 24, 2017 |

cjg posted:So are we back to"The Darkhold corrupted Aida"? It didn't corrupt her. She isn't human. She doesn't have human morals or emotional responses. But she was given a human-like quantum magic brain. She is accutely aware of her own limitations and is struggling to fix the problem in the only way she knows how: cold logic. It's why she kept the Superior alive the way she did. A fleshy human brain controlling a robot body. I think she hopes to learn what she needs to know to be human from that combination. She doesn't realize that it will never work because her brain didn't develop like a human brain. It didn't grow from nothing and slowly build up experiences, slowly learn language, learn interaction. All that was programmed in and instantly available to her. She doesn't get it and never will. It isn't about what you know but how you learned it that makes us human and not just a robot. Deep AIs are programmed that way, given basics and then they learn and grow, often in unexpected ways. But Aida wasn't built that way. She just suddenly was. it's probably why the first Aida was more relatible than the Darkholde quantum magic Aida. The first Aida was built slowly over time and learned as she went. Slowly coming to understand human behavior. As MayB pointed out, when the memories are just uploaded, then you never really did any of that. "I have memories of snow, but this is the first time I've seen snow." Darkholde Aida was built already knowing and that was to her detriment.

She had it on the dash of her van early in season 4 as well when she was living out of it while on the run, so probably not indicative of which name she goes by.

So I was hoping one of the LMDs would betray Radcliffe and join the team permanently, but now that MayB is gone, that's looking like a pipe dream. There is another possibility, however; somebody dies in the Framework, probably Fitz or Simmons, so their body dies in real life. The other half decides they are not just going to live with that, so they take the most recent brain scan from the Framework and download it into an LMD with no other programming. Voila! LMD teammate! It's just hosed-up and unhealthy enough to wring plenty of drama out of next season. If Fitz slapped Simmons into an LMD body, it'd be profoundly creepy and basically make him Radcliffe Jr, so I'm not 100% in support of that (plus Simmons has been through enough, really). If Simmons slaps Fitz into an LMD body, however... well, it'd still be creepy, but it'd also fit her characterization of feeling like she's not fully functional without him. Plus, there would be a layer of poetry to it; Fitz perfected the technology that saved his own life. You know, for a certain definition of 'saved.'

Aida was absolutely corrupted by the Darkhold. She's shown signs of sadism and want of revenge, not to mention flashes of anger. Despite what she says, the Darkhold has caused her programming to go off the rails, and the Magic Brains she's creating are very capable of feeling and being human, as shown by MayBot. Personally I think the whole I WANT TO FEEL EMOTIONS thing is a ruse, or at least a half truth. She feels emotions, it's just none of them are particularly pleasant.

She literally says she wants to feel joy which implies she can probably feel everything else. I think that the contradictions she has to live with i.e. protect humans and protect the framework when they are at odds is probably very troubling. What I don't understand is why Aida herself can't just go into the framework and escape her programming.

Aida wasn't hosed up by the Darkhold. Radcliffe was, and he made her prime directive to be protecting the Framework, presumably at all costs, which in turn hosed her up. The "feelings" thing is just a side-project for her.

The guy wants to have superpowers, but they're killing his body and the world already thinks he's Inhuman. Let his beat up old body die and transfer his mind into an LMD body which conveniently lets him have superstrength and durability like his Inhuman persona.
