As to why Max always wears her sunglasses at night, it was mentioned in "Heat" that she can she can see in the dark. That cat vision of hers.
Is saving Sketchy's hyde going to become a weekly event? Back in the pilot, Max spent considerable time pulling his fat out of the fire when he cheated on his girlfriend.
Max showed an incredible ability to win at both roulette and poker in this episode. Kinda makes you wonder why in the previous episode, "Flushed," she was so desperate for money that she first hit her firends up for a loan, then carjacked some bad dudes and sold their car to a chop shop.
Nits aside, I'm still loving this series.
I thought she wore them so she can so she can keep track of the visions in her dreams...
:-)
The sunglasses still don't make sense, because cats can't actually see in the dark! They can see well in VERY LOW light levels, but if you took all light sources out of the room then they couldn't see at all--they'd be in the same position as any human.
So, wearing sunglasses would actually impair her vision because it would filter out some of the minimal light that is available for her to see by.
Not too many nits that I saw but a few nonetheless...
Those young super-soldiers have terrible discipline. When one of them goes up to get the ballon, the others just stand around in a tight little knot watching him. They don't make any effort to cover their comrade or protect themselves! Not only that, they disobey an order and assault an officer because of their curiousity!
Also, wasn't there something in the last episode about not getting into a situation if it didn't help the mission? Climbing up a tree to get a ballon doesn't seem like a worthwhile tactical objective in any mission except get the ballon. But if they were playing get the ballon, why was the officer barking at them?
Most casinos would ask a person to leave if they had that kind of luck. I didn't get the impression that Max and Cindy lost even once, except for the first time at the roulette table.
I didn't get the subplot about the girl and her father.
The scenes where Max is breaking into the Police Archives are quite reminiscent of the first few minutes of True Lies.
Thanks for telling what happened after the casino, folks. I taped the show and the damned station went all snowy on me during the casino scene and then for the rest of the show!
I can understand that Max doesn't want to get into trouble with the mob by using her powers in the casions, but I don't understand throwing away the blood money in the train at the end! I thought Max needs money to bribe the cop for the flat and for her expensive medicine. In the pilot, she robbed logan to get money, yet in this episode, she does not take the money and beat the girl up, she throws it out of the train! Even if she has become less pragmatic due to logan's influence and does not want to take "blood money", she could have donated the money to a charity or the like.
-Max constantly avoids the police drones flying around the city, yet she looks right at a cop before breaking into the police building (actually, this happens in practically every episode).
-...And she's not wearing a helmet on her motorcycle!
-...Or her regular bike!
-...And why does she always wear sunglasses at night?
I heartly agree with you!
Maybe her genes or her supersoldier training have given her so much coolness, she can't act against it (that would explain a lot of her behaviour, wouldn't it?)
-How did Max know the buttons to press in the police building? They all made the same noise!
-Not only that, but they make a different noise when she presses them later!
I thought from the pilot that max hearing allows her to recognize different tones. What I don't understand: She presses the right buttons, because the door opens, but despite it, an alarm is triggered!
I guess the guard was awestruck by her beauty *g* to let her get away! He doesn't even try to shoot.
Oh, I like the scene when logan gives the gameboy to the cop, saying "this isn't bribery", because that is exactly what it is! ;-)))
When Alina spoke to Logan through the video link, I thought the camera was right beside the TV. Yet when Logan was watching the playback, the POV of the camera suggested that it had been a lot more to her left and higher up. Or were there two cameras - and if so, why?
