So Herbal gets fired, and a new guy shows up...and he just HAPPENS to be Zack! How convenient!
Yeah, like who didn't see that coming?
When escaping from the impound lot after stealing the money (and her motorcycle back), Max jumps the fence with her motorcycle. How did she do that?
I wondered the same thing. We never saw her set up any ramps or anything so how could she do it? It's the same thing in chase scenes when a car, instead of smashing headon into another that's parked, flips right up over it!
feng-shue
Actually, that's feng shui.
Then again, I've now seen it spelled both ways when I looked it up to find the correct spelling. I guess there's more than one.
In the previous episode, Max needed to raise a mere $1,000 to save Sketchy from the mob. She went to their casino, and used her genetics to score big.
Twice in this episode, she needs to raise cash, yet seems completely oblivious as to how to do it. Why couldn't she just hit another casino?
How come the cops didn't associate the missing cash with the missing motorcycle and come after Max?
When Max opens the cash box at the impound lot, she only finds a couple of one dollar bills. The bills are in the original style, with George Washington's face dead-center. By 2019, those bills will be out of circulation, having been replaced with the new design.

Because the last time she tried that she had to wade through a bunch of goons that weren't happy with her winning money from her.

Perhaps in 2005 or 2011 or 21018 they went back to the old style?? Actually, after the Pulse, perhaps they needed to conserve resources more and brought out a cache of old bills that were never destroyed?
when zack says in the dialogue at the end of the ep. that he took responsibility for the manticore kids, watching them all, I got the impression that was the reason for him to take a job at jam pony - to watch over max. But later, in the bar, cindy tells max that "sam" did a lousy job, never delivering the packets, and got fired. This makes no sense to me: zack, talking about tactics, should know better than to blow an undercover mission by being sloppy. I would expect him to do a good job, being neither exceptionally good or bad to avoid publicity, but doing the job good enough to stay on. Now, if he had done a good job, but quit suddenly because he wanted to leave seattle, that would make more sense.
Is it just me, or is american legislation very crazy? After a pulse has thrown the US back to the level of a third-world-country, and everybody tries to pick up the pieces, normal is worried that smoking marijuhana is a crime! Drugs are bad, but hash is really harmless. Or is a new prohibition on, with beer and cigarettes forbidden, too?
If lydecker wants to catch the kids, and knows about their abilities, he isn't trying hard. The soldiers not only get knocked out pretty easily, I would have also expected something like stun grenades or some kind of gas to knock the kids out.
Zack makes it pretty easy to find him, considering he is on the run from lydecker: he rents a home from the a relative of the guy who owns the tattoo saloon. No wonder lydecker shows up so quickly! For somebody who values tactics, I would have expected some more forethought.
Anybody else get the impression, when max didn't want to leave seattle because of her friends there, she wasn't thinking of cindy or her roommate, but rather of logan?
Obviously, the police lost their detective skills due to being bribed so much: one bike and the money get stolen from the compound, yet they never check up on the owner of the bike!
Even if max does not agree with zack about still being a soldier, his advice of leaving seattle makes a lot of sense, since lydecker has been on her trail for some time, her escape getting closer each time. Then again, maybe he is hoping she will lead him to the others? He isn't really trying to catch her.

They are but that's not a nit; it's reality.

Before someone gets off on the marijuana debate from the Political Museings board I would just like to point out that it is illegal in many 3rd world countries in Mexico, Latan America & South America. I don't see why the US would change even if it became a poor country.
Brian,
I only meant that I found this idea very strange that anybody would bother about smoking hash. I would think that there are more important things for the police to worry about. Even if the laws have not been changed, would the police really enforce laws that are not important at the moment? (As far as I know, a lot of very strange laws, dating from the puritans - like how a woman has to dress, or in what position you are allowed to have sex, or music on sunday is forbidden and so on, have never been nullified and are technically still valid in the USA today, but nobody knows about them or cares.)
Also, its just a cheap plot device: Herbal leaves so Sam can come in. After sam isn't white wonder boy and leaves, herbal comes back and nothing is mentioned of it. Doesn't sound like a real crime to me.
-When Max steals the bike back from the pound her tail light is working again.
-Spotted Zack a mile off- probably because the menu screen for the ep on the DVD was of him looking all sultry and I thought "A-HA!!"
-The scene with the dog was very funny, gotta love it when an animal can upstage someone. Especially at the end when Max escapes and the dog gives that pouty look to the officer.
Good ep. Very enjoyable. Can't wait for more.
