Episode 42: Sam’s Notes

Identicals

  • Cool wireframe effect
  • Eaten by the barrel of a gun!
  • Slater on the ones and twos…
  • Needs more cowbell
  • Oh, I got the package…
  • An mp3 player… who has these anymore?
  • This gas is pretty great
  • So she was filling on the other side of the car than the pump?
  • Strange old abandoned house… and weed
  • Blindfolds are sexy
  • When did she set all this stuff up?
  • Is this present or memory?
  • Polaroid selfies
  • How did she get so many jars and candles and get them there and not burn everything down?
  • Obviously kidnappers
  • It’s not exactly a secure door, they could break it down
  • Alright, so they really want Nadia
  • It’s the future and they have installed payphones everywhere
  • Kind of a recorded message… awful lot of effort went into making that message weird
  • Was he sent back to the house specifically to pick info off the downed intruder?
  • Who is Nadia…
  • Obviously this isn’t Nadia
  • Meanwhile, in the Brand New U offices….
  • Apparently, changing yourself never works?
  • So is Slater the one they really want and Nadia was just taken to coerce him?
  • Apparently not
  • Slater gets profiled
  • Is he being coerced into giving certain answers?
  • Transparent screens suck
  • So the company owns the  new life somehow?
  • Cool effect going from the inside to the outside of the building
  • Uh oh… something from his old life
  • He works at a… power plant? And has the same name?
  • People sitting around, snorting drugs… back in my day we just played video games…
  • Is that what passes for fun?
  • Did you just lick my neck?
  • Wait, did someone give me a different attraction profile?
  • That’s a lot of stairs
  • Why would they put Nadia in the same facility?
  • Slater and Nadia spend the evening talking
  • Slater is clearly still being surveilled
  • And now Slater is being beaten
  • So New U’s preferred method of convincing is blunt force trauma?
  • Is he okay?
  • He really just wanted to take his shirt off in front of her
  • What is putting water on bruises supposed to accomplish?
  • And there’s kissing now
  • So now they’re hanging out together? Doing sterile Christmas?
  • The photo with Slater scratched out
  • Now the photo is cut up?
  • I like how the Christmas lights look like a wireframe
  • There’s a better life waiting for us, somebody else, somewhere else
  • The Santas!
  • For this conversation, we’re just going to drive around real fast in a parking garage
  • I don’t get what happened in that conversation
  • Life space adjustment
  • Why put him in a new lifespace with binoculars aimed into the window of the person he should be avoiding?
  • Support guy shows up
  • Oh, is that Santa?
  • Are they going to make him shoot the Nadia across the way?
  • Just gunna hold this gun here forever
  • So he goes over to where Nadia is, she’s not tied up, other Slater isn’t there, they fuck…
  • No one dies
  • Now he’s over there with the gun drawn
  • Pattycake?
  • Didn’t other Slater say we had to do this?
  • He has the edge with…a straight razor?
  • Did his eyes just glow red?
  • Alright, he shot him… now what?
