Was he a man named Ryker?
The concept ofAltered Carbonhas allowed for multiple interesting philosophical conundrums over only four episodes, and heres another one.
Imagine the world in which the body is completely disposable and consciousnesses can be transported to virtual torture chambers.
An enemy could literally be raped and killed over and over again to get information.
The pain would feel real every time.
He really gets intense when he takes a sluglike alien and drops it into one of Kovacss open wounds.
This episodereallycapitalizes on Netflixs willingness to go R-rated; its not for the kids or the faint of heart.
Its a nice showcase for Goldsberry, although one hopes her character becomes more than just an inspirational memory.
It creates some fighting around the family table as Ortegas mother believes that death should be final.
Ortega says good-bye to her abuela and gets a call about the boom-boom at the clinic.
On her way in, she tells a reporter to fist herself.
Shes really not messing around.
She marches into Kovacss room, finding him waiting with the dudes head in an ice bucket.
Kovacs knows that Ortega was tracking him.
Why is she so interested in him?
He cuts his skin to see if she gets upset.
She clearly doesnt like it.
And who is Ryker to her?
She gives in just as hes about to cut his own throat: Ill tell you everything.
You should not only listen to it, but to as much PJ Harvey as possible.
Will the case even be solved this season?
What if the show just uses Bancrofts murder as an excuse to go other places?
