Well … yeah, that seems about right.
The issues come down to more than just predictability.
I didnt always mind that choice of priorities.
When Darby says good-bye to Lee, its not their connection that makes the scene land.
Its Darbys complicated reaction to seeing Zoomer go (along with Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaanss score).
Martin only exists to explain that AI is a mirror of us, with all our same biases.
Oliver only exists to react facially to the mention of deep fakes.
To some extent, this is an unavoidable part of large ensemble mysteries like this one.
Any record of the crimes was later deleted thanks to Andy.
He fundamentally doesnt see himself as a villain, only a protector.
The Zoomer reveal has a little more heft to it.
(He was too short to show up in the door-cam footage.)
It was also Zoomer who plugged in the receiver that allowed Ray to hack Rohans pacemaker and kill him.
Butwhydid Ray do all this?
Ray should be the safest outlet.
Rays death is explosive and triumphant, nothing like HALs drawn-out shutdown in2001.
(Im a big defender oftheLostfinale, after all.)
I imagine that when read back-to-back, Darbys two memoirs tell a pretty poignant story of loss and growth.
I kind of wish I couldve just read those.
I get Andys parental jealousy and his pettiness about Bill showing up late to dinner.
But I dont really understand the rant about how Bills continued existence would threaten Ronson Industries if Andy died.
I have to say, I kind of hated the line We got the father.
The sons safe, but the Holy Ghost is still at large.
Just didnt buy that Darby would say it at that moment.
Seems noteworthy that Lu Mei wouldnt be there in the audience at the end.
I cant believe I got used to typing the name Zoomer.
