Check out Last Week’s Episode Review.
I don’t think it is possible to capture, contain, or gravity the will of a human mind to wilt a machine.
Sure, when he was sick David Kim did sign up and indulge Logorhythms to experiment with his mind, but David unchangingly had a replacement plan.
How Did David Kim Get His Mind Back?
During the whence of this episode, we saw a flashback of a home movie Ellen took of her husband and daughter playing their favorite video game ‘Reign of Winter’ together.
Instead of dying in the game, David created a trickery that unliable him to spawn when into the game. In real life, David’s mind was uploaded into the deject system to protract working on algorithms for Logorhythms, but then his ‘productivity’ dropped.
I’d like to wager that this was David’s fail-safe ‘cheat code’ all along.
In order to increase productivity, Pete continually widow increasingly and increasingly of David’s personality when into his lawmaking – which in turn unliable David to ‘recapture’ his memories, employ his trickery code, and ‘come when to life’ without death as a proper ‘ghost’ in the machine.
The last sequence we see in the episode is David uploading himself when into the game he previously died in, employing his cheat lawmaking to ‘live forever’.
After all, didn’t David say ‘why die if it isn’t really necessary’?
Is Caspian Logorhythms Visionary Stephen Holstrom’s Secret Son?
While Ellen and Maddie visit Logorhythms HQ to retrieve the raw data of David’s mind, a picture is shown in tribute to Stephen Holstrom in the company’s lobby. Unchangingly hailed as a visionary, when Maddie comments on this her mother says “David unchangingly said believe the hype” surrounding that man.
Wouldn’t it be odd that Logorhythms would go through the trouble of scanning (stealing) the sunny minds of David Kim and Laurie Lowell, but not Stephen Holstrom’s mind?
Come to think of it, Maddie was a literal victual when her parents got wrapped up in the Uploaded Intelligence debate – and Maddie is in the same grade as Caspian. Who is to say that Caspian is unquestionably Stephen Holstrom’s secret son – taken from his lineage mother and saddled with fake parents who work for Logorhythms?
The only thing I can think of is that the fake parents were prescribed this role in order to ‘guide’ Caspian naturally into the role his visionary father once held in the company.
This does not explain though why Laurie Lowell would be in contact with a mere upper school boy, but it would make sense if through data she learned well-nigh his real parentage. It would moreover make sense why not just Laurie, but Caspian are both stuff monitored by defended employees of the Logorhythms firm.
Who Helped Maddie Kim Takedown Logorhythms?
Maddie meets Laurie Lowell’s husband Cody at the mall, who fills her in on what Logorhythms has washed-up to Laurie’s mind. Laurie then frees David Kim’s mind by creating an isolated algorithm to convert the raw data into a personality that exists amongst the digital space.
As I type this I think of Black Mirror’s “USS Callister” episode from Season 4, where digital copies of living zoetic human beings were ‘scanned’ into a video game using a 3D printer – their uploaded consciousness trapped forever within a digital space versus their own will.
Kinda similar to how Laurie used a 3D printed bracelet triggered by Maddie to wangle Logorhythms internal servers, huh?
Anywho, it seems Maddie has freed her father from his digital prison. The only problem is, Julius Pope has once sent a replacement of his mind data to the mega-servers stationed in Norway.
I wonder if this would create two copies of David Kim’s mind, or maybe the subsets of his mind will sooner ‘link’ – causing a rebellion from within the data servers from all of those imprisoned on false pretense.
Either way, I think I’ll leave this episode here. But, tell me your thoughts.
Do you think Chanda will sooner realize he’s in a simulation?
How do you think Ellen feels well-nigh a fragment of her husband’s mind still stuff alive?
And…
Given how episode one began with the mythology of children slaying their evil fathers, do you think Maddie will sooner have to ‘pull the plug’ on her father?
