TV/Movie General Discussion

She can't hook up with all THOUSAND Jacks who come looking for her!

Not going to happen for obvious reasons

What's stopping the aliens from coming again? Nothing!

There are no "aliens", just this one super advanced AI, it was basically galactus.

Let me pull a Y and say that your post is totally worthles DS. :<

It could very well happen, the chronicle of what occurred to make the humans stop having to live in hiding and the Jacks/Vics stop having to be repairmen could easily transmit across the nation/world. They definitely have the technology to do so and Jack is already curious enough. The Scavs themselves ought to have a network of communication of some sort, I mean this happened post 2017 and it wasn't exactly a secret that the humans were all being wiped out by a million Jacks. Only a secret from the Jacks/Vics themselves.

And regardless of whether it was an alien or an alien AI, that doesn't mean that they can't just send another one to soak up all earth's resources like they it had been doing to other planets.

Worthless*

Who is "they"? That thing was its entire "species"; a giant autonomous AI that prolly killed its creators.
It was sucking up resources for itself, just moving from planet to planet, like galactus.

And no it won't happen, the other jacks don't know about what's beyond their "safe" zone, and they won't go looking either; jack only went beyond the barrier because morgan freeman told him so and the second jack only went looking because he met the other jack.
They will stop being repairmen prolly, but they won't go beyond the barrier, because they have 0 reason to suddenly believe it's safe.

That's possible, but it seems insanely retarded. There's no evidence anywhere that the AI killed it's own creators, nor does that even make sense that someone smart enough to make AI would be stupid enough to enable it to kill them. Even humans nowadays are programming against this currently. It makes more sense that aliens built and sent a mining/exploration AI for their own purposes. But I guess there is no proving how dumb your butt is without comic book evidence or something. :/

Jack* (biatch!)

When all communication with the AI stops and the drones all shut down, this will only give the Jacks more reason to be curious and seek communication/answers. I imagine I'd be trying every single network I could think of to get back in contact with Titan, or someone that may have survived. The "radiation zones" will be totally irrelevant to any remaining humans hiding around, and the drones seem to have done a pretty shitty job killing them at least in zone 49, lol. But even assuming that somehow only humans in zone 49 managed to survive and ALL OTHER humans were wiped out, Jack and Vick's technology should easily pick up any waves that the survivors are transmitting. Also, I highly doubt that the Scavs are going to let their beloved savior Jack 1-500 (minus 49 & 52) just die alone with Vick without knowing what happened at all.

[darkshadow]

The evidence is implied; it's not a mining/exploration vessel simply because it cloned an army of humans to cleanse the planet.
The whole morning communication with the fake sally also implies the AI is insanely smart; it's a self-sustained, self-sufficient devourer of worlds, gathering resources for anyone but itself would be the actual retarded thing because it would just use them flying back to wherever beyond the solar system it came from. It feeds and moves on.

Heck the TET was lined with drones, but vick stated many times they had trouble getting new materials, which again implies that losing a drone and replacing it with a new one was too costly. So if the AI doesn't want to waste resources on drones, why would it waste them to fly back to its (non-existant) alien overlords?

The radiation zones would also not become "irrelevant", because to the other jacks all those other "humans" are simply scavs/aliens.
Vick has shown she will resist everytime Jack tries to resist, so there's another conflict.
And he both 52/49 have only shown to resist/remember when they were exposed to julia.

And another point, "2 weeks left", I'm pretty sure there aren't actually hundreds of jacks walking around, they most prolly have a soft expiration date after which they are returned to the TET and a new team is formed; "are you an effective team?".
The radiation zones are probably only used to keep new teams away from old teams, I wouldn't be surprised if 52 and 49 were the only ones close to each other.

So with the drones shutting down, which is bs because they have shown to be autonomous and have their own powersupplies, everything else would shut down as well, so no spaceships for the others to use to even get down from the towers.
And even if they were to get down and explore, they had no reason to "look for julia", because they weren't exposed to her; it even took 52 three years to find her.

There's going to be a Kiki's Delivery Service live action, etc.

[Penner]

'Agents of SHIELD' gets renewed, and 'Captain America'-spinoff 'Agent Carter' gets greenlit.

'Arrow'-spinoff 'Flash' gets greenlit.

'Constantine' tv series (DC's Hellblazer comic) gets greenlit.

'Revolution' cancelled (one of my favourite "new" shows getting cancelled, along with Almost Human )

'Supernatural'-spinoff 'Supernatural: Bloodlines' gets cancelled.

[Penner]

There's also this little piece of news:

Michael Fassbender Says "PROMETHEUS 2" Is a Go; Doesn’t Know When They’ll Begin Filming

[Animeniax]

I really hope they work on the story and characters more and less on special effects in the sequel. Also hope they call it something other than "Prometheus 2", kinda like how they went from Alien to Aliens. Maybe Prometheii?

[Animeniax]

I just found this show on Fusion called No, You Shut Up! and it's hilarious. Paul F. Tompkins hosts a panel of Muppets who discuss politics and world events. As the name of the show suggests, it gets contentious and ridiculous. It's usually followed by a Henson company produced animated show called Good Morning Today, which is a spin on morning news shows, also worth a watch.

[Ryllharu]

Marathoned the first season of Faking It. I kind of watched in on a whim, but it was actually really funny and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I hadn't watched any of mtv's scripted stuff in a long time, but was really impressed. Two best friends get mistaken for being lesbians at school, and they agree to perpetuate the misunderstanding because it is making them popular.

The cast and writers have great comedic timing.
