    I know I’m late but the chemistry between the actors was really good as if there wasn’t suppose to be anything sexual or any emotion but they worked so well with each other but it’s made the characters motives confusing as to what Ortega wants, like she’s sleeping with an envoy in her partners sleeve, try explaining that when he spins back up

    One correction regarding Lizzie: Reileen didn't get rid of Lizzie using Neo-C codings, but instead sent her to one other facility of her business -- the Wei Clinic, an interrogation facility that's supposedly cutting edge in the field. In the episode where Takeshi was tortured by Dimi the twin the creature used on him was the same one that Takeshi saw in the last episode in VR, a new creature created to inflict pain on its host for torturing. This is how Lizzie's cortical stack broke and why she was able to be spun back up but needed psychological counseling.

    Walter Xu Hey friend. Not really a correction as I did say "OR". You're right though I did say "she helped recode her OR make her go mad, or something like that." I also said (around 16 mins in) that she was sent to the torture place. So yes she wasn't recoded but I still said she went to the torture place and regardless the point if it all was Miriam owed her a favour for "disposing" of Lizzy regardless of the means. So yes one way or the other I pointed out that it was A or B but whatever the case she ended up in the torture room (I mentioned this at least twice) and so her coding is irrelevant. But thanks for clarifying.

    I really enjoyed this series. It was one of the most original sci-fi series to come out in years, and it's gritty cyberpunk style rocked. There story's plot was pretty complex. It will take a couple viewings to really understand everything. I imagine viewers not familiar with many of the sci-fi tropes in the show would be hopelessly lost. But it is a must see for any fan of the cyberpunk genre.

The Captain is just the ranking officer of the one station that is used in the show, where Ortega is stationed.

    I just finished rewatching Season 1 in anticipation of Season 2. So, this was an interesting and entertaining synopsis. (You kept censoring James Purefoy’s considerable man parts.) The casting was superb. Big shout out to Joel Kinnaman, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Chris Conner, and the aforementioned James Purefoy. I thought the premise had some significant plot holes; e.g., wouldn’t a civilization where real death was rare have a massive and unsustainable population explosion? And, who wouldn’t want a small and very exclusionary political/economic elite who consume massively disproportionate amounts of society’s goods/services live forever? Lastly, an Emmy should have gone to Matt Biedel. Speaking effortless Spanish when spun up as Ortega’s abuela for Dia de los Muertos then double-sleeved as Dimitri Cadman (Dimi the Twin) all in the same 20 minutes was an acting tour de force. Next up...season 2 with Anthony Mackie!

    Neat, really enjoyed the weird adventure Altered Carbon brought to the table, and on your questions of backups being close to cloning, I think the show focuses on taking mortality on a more literal than spiritual level ie. 1 = 1 rather than 1 = 1 sub a or b or so forth, it's a pretty straight forward interpretation of the world as a mathematical concept perhaps true to a science fiction universe than a science fantasy, if function A = function B then function B = function A and thus cloning implies a fundamentally identical copy that is like cloning but since the clone is fundamentally you with a negligible missing memory then the clone is fundamentally you. I get that some people believe that each new memory makes you unique from your previous self but there is some negligible aspects here and there like if say I die from an irrelevant and convoluted experience from eating a cookie and get backed up, my clone is still me, an older version of me technically but also unaffected by the cookie relative to what truely makes me, me. It might be best to think of people as numbers or machines, I have a doctrine of philosophy and ethics that are like my unique ID or core coding that defines who I am as a person, in the event that these ethics change, yes, I could arguably be a new person but my old self will still be able to reach the same conclusion anyways and thus we are the same because we do not judge ourselves superficially. This is why later in the movie where Takeshi clones himself that he can communicate and be so much in sync with himself and perhaps why we can argue the rock paper scissors games he held with himself were not so much of a random event but one where both made a calculated reason upon who would make which move and to what solution he would most prefer on both a strategic and ethical degree. The most recent cases of cloning I have heard in our present day is cloning animals from live stock sheep to domestic pets like dogs, at which point, the cloning is only on a biological level of just the flesh rather than any mental state. It is a situation where the experiences of an individual start from such a blank state or revisionary edit of experiences that the clones are fundamentally different mentally and as beings with unique characters. Now, if we could clone say the neurons of a brain so that it were identical to another, since the electrical impulses would be identical and if those impulses were the sole definition of a person in the context of that system then clone A would equal original A. Hmm I think we have probably tried cloning bacteria or viruses at this point so if we were to assume say a virus were to not have a soul then virus A would equal clone virus A. It's perhaps a pessimistic view point but the universe the writer appears to have chosen for his writing.

    Loved the series. FYI, screenwriting issues. CTAC was a constant. See the scene where the downloaded CTAC group talks about the drugs the UN provides to ease resleeving. Envoys were actually what Quel turned her freedom fighters into. In the book, the Envoy training was the UN, I do believe. Quel was recognized as the leader of the rebels and her teachings of politics and rebellion were her historical selling point. No explicit relationship there. Also, no sister character. The books were great, the show was as adapted as needed for the commercial screen. Also noted, several seeds planted in the show from the sequel books to link to the future screen adaptations/seasons. Don't let any of this dissuade you from the books. If you enjoy the main character in the books, read the urban fantasy series The Dresden Files. Similarly great character development and internal dialogues that screenwriters have problems with. ( Note: please don't see the screen adaptation of the File. It's screenwriter's failed challenge could put you off...Unless you find it interesting to see the challenges screenwriters face in getting books through to the screen.) I was out of the loop of streaming shows and found out about the show's announcement, the fact that the first season had been released, and binged it, all within a 30day period. Stunned.

    Since it is quite obvious a season 3 is now off the table (not counting the anime spinoff) it might be a good time for a game development studio to create a PC game of this concept. That would make the whole 2 series even more immersive as now YOU could do all the things and stuff instead of "just" watching it.

    I think the philosophical ramifications of "is it really you?" are hinted at in Episode 1. Ortega tells who Dimi The Twin and explains that "double sleeving" is a capital offence. You get caught double sleeving both copies get erased. But why? Why such a harsh punishment if you double sleeve yourself? Make it illegal sure, for obvious reasons, but why make it a capital crime if you only do it to yourself? I think it's because it raises the question you did. They can accept a linear continuity from one body to the next, but the idea of reloading a previous save complicates things, and double sleeving just destroys it entirely. If you can double sleeve then you are not being transferred but rather duplicated. Double sleeving opens up such a philosophical (and uncomfortable) can of worms they'd rather just make it a capital crime and not think too much about it than really confront what re-sleeving actually is.

None of the characters ever ask obvious questions like "If a version of me is 'backed up' in a computer somewhere, and that is used to 'reincarnate' me after I die, won't that just be someone else? A clone?"

    You assume that we actually have something called a "soul" that makes us who we are. If no soul exists, then you are nothing more than the collection of all of your memories, ideas, thoughts, experiences, etc. And if that "data" can be copied, uploaded, and/or transfered, then it WOULD BE YOU.... no soul required. If multiple copies of you are made, then each starts out as "you" but quickly evolves into their own person with their own unique experiences and nothing more than a shared memory of the past, not too much different than twins or other close siblings.... Much like the two Rikers in the ST episode "Second Chances".

    I don't assume anything. I was posing a philosophical pondering. "Soul or whatever" was used as a colloquial term to mean consciousnesses or ones mental make up. At least that's how I intended it. By no means did I intend a solely religious connotation. Though that is fun to think about for those people. But sadly people get hung up on semantics and look for any reason to have a go these days. This channel is all about science fiction mate, which all the good ones illustrate the best examples of philosophical and existential musings :)

    I think the key here is that these copies of you would think and act like you did... but they are missing your consciousness. "You" are not there, which is a pretty strong argument for us having a "soul" of sorts. And any copies made of you could only consider your past thoughts and actions. Sometimes, people do things entirely antithetical to what they've done in the past. But what if your previous thoughts could predict even those abnormalities? Maybe the right circumstances that cause people to diverge from old habits could be deduced. Interesting line of thought.

    Great video!!! About the philosophical question, " is your clone still you".... I've always thought about this one. If clones are possible, but are kept in the dark from us, you know the elite stuff and celebrity cloning...if that's all true then I think physicallly the clone really becomes you...but for it to act like you, it will have to be taught about how you were and how you usually thought, which according to me should be really hard, you can't really know how one thinks...well unless the government really commits about learning about who you are...then possibly....then your clone can possibly act, to be like you...but won't really be you, not really...it didn't really go through your experiences, but learned about them...best it can do is fool everyone, but not itself. Which is more or less kinda of the same thing with the stacks and the backup-ing. We live life being taught what to do, and how to be as children...by parents,the society and the environment around us...but we come of age, like really think for ourselves, say when we teenagers maybe, it's the same thing but at that point, we have a foundation of who we are, we each tell each other we already know how to act and respond to certain situation...so going forward what determines us is experiences and the foundation of the knowledge of who we already perceive ourselves to be...this all is based on what we've gone through, thus we are determined by the memories of who we are. So I don't know about souls,some could argue there's no souls and stuff but that don't really matter... it's irrelevant in this case because I don't think your soul determines who you are in anyway not in this life on earth at least. So I think the backup-ing of the stack,might not really be them when they return, but they are them, because of the memories they remember and the experiences they think they shared... They still become who they are because of the Memories, because they are faced with the burden of choosing their choices according to their Memories (which has past experiences and similar event-choices more or less) I might have been repeating the same point all over again, I tend to do that....hope you understand my point of view though.
