Season 1, Episode 10
6/10
It Can't Sustain Itself
12 August 2015
This ends with a bit of a whimper. Gordon gets his way. He is a masterful engineer but ideas are not a part of him. Hence, once he wins out, he becomes utterly boring. He even shaves his beard. Lost is the psychotic nuttiness of a latter day Richard Dreyfuss building Devil's Tower in his kitchen. He has no ideas. Cameron is gone. She was going to eventually strike out on her own. Joe has lost her to his own narcissism. The GIANT laptop is a nice serviceable piece of equipment, and it will make them money, but it will fade into obscurity. Joe realizes what Apple is doing with the Macintosh and he needs to seek out another mountain (literally) to climb.. Donna has taken a job with Cameron in her Mutiny company. A couple carjackers nearly kill Donna, and now Gordon comes to realize what a treasure she is. Anyway, everyone is everywhere. I know this series will continue into another season. When I have a chance to see it, will it have any vibrancy left to it?
