annavereFinally made time to watch these, which retained all the quality of the previous batches.
1. 'The End.' Just before they find out the river is boiling, Cole and Deacon have a friendly debate on strategy, with Deacon advocating "live to die another day," and the two of them coming to blows. Deacon doesn't seem bothered by this. Great scene should have made the final version.
2. Whitley's final battle uninterrupted by edits. Oh man... :(
3. Ouroboros.' Cole/Ramse debate leaving the facility, and Ramse is being his usual contradictory self as he's less enthusiastic about leaving when Cole presses him to give an actual opinion. Ramse points out that they were going in circles outside and that's the definition of insanity. And hey, Cole is really lucky he never found a razor he liked, because that would have blown his cover in this episode.
4. '45 RPM.' Young evil Olivia and her friend taking care of her. I really like her friend, poor thing, and I hope once "Liv" is erased she finds a better outcome than getting her neck snapped by someone she trusted.
5. Interpol Varys takes his leave of the travelers and wonders why they were always called that. It's the least ponderous scene he has in that episode, but the character is such a plot device it feels like a waste of good casting.
6. 'Legacy.' Jennifer asks Time for a clue before going out west and aside from more pop culture references it doesn't add much.
7. Jennifer is so delighted to have a costume, and then Cassie points out she's cosplaying as a "brothel harlot." Meanwhile Hannah frets that they will attract attention if they loiter. Yeah, move around. That'll fix it.
8. Elliot calls the Tall Man Mr. Shaw and he protests before they argue Titan business.
9. Hannah and Katarina after Elliot's death, but I don't even know what was cut.
10. 'After.' A cute scene of the staff working late into the night on research. "The 21st Century was a golden age for obsessives," says Jennifer, being right as usual.
11. Cole/Cassie squabbling during their motel stakeout. I really like them so much more as a couple now that I've seen the whole thing.
12. Deacon tells Shaw "thank you for your sacrifice" and is both way ahead of the perplexed old man and cheerfully indifferent to his approaching demise. It's a nifty bit of dialogue.
13. Jennifer tries to convince Cole and Cassie that Deacon is playing a long con and while Cassie is willing to consider it, Cole does his old glass houses routine and mentions Deacon's history of killing for scraps. All it takes is Cassie saying "so did you" and he drops the argument. And hey, Robert Gale! Looking on the bright side and being happy for the extra years he cheated from Fate.
14. 'Die Glocke.' Useful scene here, where Kat actually explains her reason for sending Hannah away when they need all hands on deck. Kat wants to remind herself what she's fighting for, but Cassie is starting to disassociate from the "faceless" seven billion, so even though they are in agreement about giving Hannah a better life, their philosophies are polar opposite.
15. 'Daughters.' Hannah and Bryan the barkeep. He's still nice and personable, but she seems a lot more crazy in this unedited version, what with her whole "I don't feel like I exist biologically" approach to small talk.
16. Hannah monologues her new understanding of the phone addicts around her, which she sees as a metaphor for freezing time. Huh.
17. 'Demons.' The flagellant Primary gets his own flashback monologue sequence? 'Demons' really was all over the place.
18. And yet the same episode almost contained this gem: After Deacon waxes rhapsodic about the whole Cole/Cassie thing he says "We were never gonna be brothers." "Friends?" And they clink glasses (or flagons, whatever).
19. Nicodemus very ponderously sends Chorus back down the mountain, and this is the first I realized she wasn't present during Olivia's attack on MacGuffin Central, which shows how much I cared about any of this.
20. 'One Minute More.' Adler again being very gracious and concerned as Katarina grows ever more frail, and for her part she hopes Hannah doesn't return because it will mean she's found something to live for.
21. While retreating from the lab with the virus, Cole and Cassie get randomly attacked in the hallway. It's amazingly anticlimactic, and deservedly cut.
22. 'The Beginning.' Ramse actually responds to Jennifer's whole "she's his grammy" revelation. Gestures between them in amusement: "We're family?" "Don't you dare," she replies. I do love how he automatically includes Cole's family as his own. However, the attack planning sequence is completely redundant and wisely dropped.
23. And lastly, when Cassie is living in the reset, she's implied to be researching the others, starting with Robert Gale, whose obituary is shown - he lived to be 81. And then Whitley is shown to have his own architectural firm. *Throws confetti.*
With that, I really am done. Until I rewatch it, anyway.
