Best of both worlds, aka "The Final Countdown" Paradise 2x7 reaction'd
A very minor annoyance, but inquiring minds want to know why the crew of Paradise did not drop this "Final Countdown" episode on March 16th last week, when they dropped "Jane" instead? Would've played into Dylan's birthday being May 16...
Because they're f-ing with us on this reality-record-skipping idea —so help me whenever they talk on the podcast about how episode 5 was originally supposed to be episode 6 and blah blah blah. They're literally laughing while they're shoving coincidence/proof of superpositional, best of all- many-worlds concept in our face, I am convinced.
PS: I love how Link is now absolutely certain that he's 26 years old, when with Annie he ponders whimsically like maybe? Who's to say? With Annie, he had no pop culture, trivia night swagger, and in the bunker he's a Brad Pitt level nerd. Either he wasn't sharing a completely true portrayal of himself, or reality merged two separate versions of Link into one? Because I feel like that's what ALEX does, it superimposes the two. Dead and alive cat.
We're about to collapse some things in this empire, because then that poses the moral question: who gets to be Schrodinger on what the best of [all] worlds looks like, and who gets their self(ves) culled in the process?
And when do you have too much data saving on top of each other to the point where you have to defragment the hard drive?
Also, I'll bet but in the familial art of bluff and double bluff of house Redmond, that Link knows his connection and he's playing dumb so that he can watch Sinatra. Otherwise he would not have made the Luke Skywalker/ Darth Vader reference so explicit. Cat-mouse, or cat in a quantum thought experiment.
Final thoughts: "What happens if there's a fire? The system deploys a sprinklers and alarms... A lack of oxygen? All doors are forced open. Siege/ army of orcs/ Helm's Deep... Full lockdown protocol, this bunker can survive a direction nuclear hit or an attack from the urukai. / What happens if all three of those happen at the same time? The odds are infinitesimal."
I will bet on those infinitesimal odds / unreasonable scenario if we are talking quantum probability, I just don't know what will kill the hypothetical cat first, a full nuclear meltdown in the bunker or the metaphorical poison of the fragmentation that might happen if a qubit computer were performing some process on decoherent realities (multiple energy states), only to get interrupted by said nuclear meltdown.
Human error system failure.
