Alice Grove MCDLT - THE END...?
brasca:
As much as I'd like this series to continue so far I'm satisfied with the resolution. Even with the now rapid pace of storytelling I'm still getting more answers than I did in the last season of Lost. So far we've gotten a lot of answers and the only questions I have is what was the purpose of the Nightwalker and did the Praeses arrive at the end of the great war and everyone was too busy killing each other to notice?
My theory about the Nightwalker is it might have been left behind as a guardian to prevent this kind of discontinuity infection, but after enough pairs of habitat dwellers were attacked and stripped of their nanotech the Nightwalkers burned out completely.
Alice can't stop what she feared most from happening now. Not unless she wants to go on an endless murder spree and she doesn't. However everything that has happened seems like it's for the best because Alice can guide and if necessary control the people with this discontinuity without any opposition. If Pate were alive and still on Earth with Church he could quickly gather together the affected people and bend them to his will. At best Alice could create a rival group that could keep Pate's minions in check, but it would be very similar to the last great war with it's two great factions.
It's funny that Alice says that if you spread enough trees you create a forest or grove hence the title, Alice Grove.
BenRG:
@brasca,
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that will be the Praeses parting words to Alice - That Earth has become her grove to cultivate and care for just as the virtual spaceborne are for the Praeses. From now on, the planet below will be known as 'Alice Grove'.
Tova:
I'd be perfectly happy with an ending like that. Even though you've now spoiled it, if so! :-o :wink:
JimC:
Laughing? -> crying? ??
Not excessive exposition in this one...
BenRG:
More than five thousand years old, a survivor of the war that ended human civilisation, which left her hands dribbling with innocent blood and someone who has been effectively alone for longer than most contemporary civilisations have existed. Now, at long last, with the news that the world she fought to maintain for so long is now doomed in a way that she can't fight, Alice has finally found what her last straw seems to be.
Or, as Jack Napier... The Joker... once put it:
