Kirsh just doing a quick-draw and shooting Morrow was such a Justified moment. 😅
As someone who grew up watching WWE in the mid 00’s I couldn’t see Morrow slam Kirsch through that table without hearing JR Jim Ross’ voice saying “BY GAWD, BY GAWD, I THINK HE’S BROKEN IN HALF”.
The way that Marcy said that they are all almost literally ghosts is probably the most accurate description of what digital transcendence is. It’s still her, but it’s also something else both added and taken away. Kind of like a phantom pain even though you have a prosthetic or cybernetic arm.
My favourite character, Kirsh got sidelined in this finale. I hope he plays much bigger role in season 2.
The look 👀 of surprise in Marrow’s good eye 👁 let them know he really wasn't prepared for that island😅
I find it extremely amusing you blurred out a robot bleeding white goo
"Stay frosty" - nice little Michael Biehn reference.
I'm glad her powers are restricted to just that system but I wonder if Yatani is going to set her to be the new Mother system
The first xeno came out of the brothers lung. I know theres a week in between each episode but cmon guys try to remember SOME details
