Carlos mentions that her friend from Section 6 had the same assessment about Nettingers motives for the code that he wanted to kill the competition and put the blame on Cosgrove. Carlos also mentions that he owes his life to her buddy from &#8220;Section 6&#8221;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/continuum\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-759\" title=\"Continuum S1x08 Alec dances\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/continuum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Continuum-S1x08-Alec-dances.jpg\" alt=\"Continuum S1x08 Alec dances\" width=\"640\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/continuum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Continuum-S1x08-Alec-dances.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/continuum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Continuum-S1x08-Alec-dances-256x140.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/continuum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Continuum-S1x08-Alec-dances-320x176.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/continuum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Continuum-S1x08-Alec-dances-400x220.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The final conversation Kiera has is the one with Alec. He will create a firewall so that she will be safe from future hacking. He has also found some old memory files that she might be interested in. The concern that neither of them has realized yet, is now Kagame realizes that Alec is a threat. Will he attempt to get rid of Alec or would that affect things in the future?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We may also not agree with Kagame\u2019s methods at terrorism, but, is the world that much worse in the future that terrorism was Kagame\u2019s only choice. Or is Kagame another froot loop with an agenda at self-aggrandisement? We will continue to learn more as season 2 kicks off. It will be interesting to see how art imitates life with real terrorism all around us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WormholeRiders\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-24\" title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/tn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/WormholeRiders-New-Logo-302S-Dark-192x192.png\" alt=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" width=\"152\" height=\"152\" \/><\/a>Thanks to <a title=\"Click to visit and follow WR_Systems (Kenn) on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/WR_Systems\" target=\"_blank\">Kenn<\/a> for final staging of the audio video embeds, final staging of the images I captured in this review, and many thanks to you for stopping by <a title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/wormholeriders\" target=\"_blank\">WormholeRiders News Agency!! <\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We look forward to seeing more of you here at our review site dedicated to our wonderful science fiction series <a title=\"Learn more about Continuum on Syfy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/continuum\">Continuum<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Please feel free to leave a comment here, click an icon below to share this interview with your friends, or you can <a title=\"Click to visit and follow ArcticGoddess1 (Patricia) on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ArcticGoddess1\" target=\"_blank\">visit and follow me on Twitter<\/a> by clicking on my avatar to the right.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit and follow ArcticGoddess1 (Patricia) on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ArcticGoddess1\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-164\" title=\"Click to visit and follow ArcticGoddess1 (Patricia) on Twitter!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/sanctuary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/ArcticGoddess1-PatriciaBertrand-230.jpg\" alt=\"Click to visit and follow ArcticGoddess1 (Patricia) on Twitter!\" width=\"185\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Regards,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Thank you. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit and follow ArcticGoddess1 (Patricia) on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ArcticGoddess1\" target=\"_blank\">ArcticGoddess1<\/a> (Patricia)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back Continuum time travelers!
