Got to disagree, unfortunately—after a string of non-stop hits, this episode didn't work for me at all. I'm not sure why, but this episode stretched believability past my breaking point.
Also, while I appreciate the maneuver, I feel kind of cheated out of a song this week. :3
Anyway, two duds compared to six great entries isn't a bad score for the season so far (the other "dud" being Roland Blum's introductory ep). Hopefully next week is a return to form.
- Last week, Liz was arguing for the hack despite Dianne's objections. But now she's the first person to decide she's had enough?
- Why would Felix's lawyer just give critical information to Marissa?
- Preying Mantis should have been thrown out of court as irrelevant. Felix Staples does not have standing to sue in the US over censorship practices in China. Cheryl perjuring herself is a separate case, and besides, it should have been easy enough for her to say she was referring to the US version of the search engine.
- I'm not clear whether Preying Mantis already launched or was just in development (talking about Goodverse here, not the IRL version), but either way, there's no way Chumhum could operate a heavily-censored search engine without it becoming public knowledge, so the public either does know about it or will know about it. Consequently, I'm not seeing the PR nightmare.
