    I don't think there's any consciousness transplantation going on.  I think she opened a new tunnel to a year before the events of this series began and link up the peripheral with herself in that time.  From that point forward, she and the group will proceed along a new timeline, a different stub from the one that ends in her getting shot.

     

    Spoiler

    That's an interesting plot. So from "our" Flynne's perspective, she really was willing to die. I wonder if we'll see anything from this original stub going forward or if we'll just start the season in the new stub and get to know the versions of those characters there? Seems like the brother and friend from this OG stub would still be able to beam in and interact with the alternate Flynne if the folks in New London want them to.

    We’re 2 eps in and enjoying it. So far story is compelling, CGM is hot, and I like diving into the visions of both the near future and distant future. I’ll probably rewatch to catch bits and pieces of future life. Don’t understand all the haptics shit yet.

    The haptics are possibly the easiest part to understand. Seems like the military In the timeline has developed a way to link the sense of teams of soldiers so they can work in unison. But the technology is somewhat primitive and causes the implanted soldiers pain. These guys were all together in the war so they still have a haptic connection between them.

    Also, hearing the thick Scottish accent emanate from Ash is funny.  Reminds me of the Asian comedian (Henry Cho?) who exaggerated a southern drawl accent.

    Yeah. NGL. I’m Asian myself but when I used to see Asians with British accents it threw me for a loop.

    Just watched and it was hysterical.  His post-game speech was literally just like his batshit stream of consciousness press conferences.  @TreatyOak, you may not  survive watching this:

     

     

    Wow. It is just like his press conferences. He’s a leader of men!

    It's A&M.  They'll probably just pull a Tech, fire him, not pay him, and rely on their immunity and the statutory caps to protect them.  

    That’s been speculated a lot. But that only protects them from paying Jimbo’s contract. Jimbo, given his age and public perception, might feel like he had nothing to lose by spilling every bean that he had on them. Why would he hold back?

     He could taint the job for a decade or more just by talking shit about their “guaranteed” contract and how dishonest they are. What established coach worth a shit would take that job? Plus they already hiked up their skirt and told everyone that you should only take huge guaranteed contracts from them.

    C’mon guys they’re building parts for the Death Star.

    Andor has a hand in building it. Andor has a hand in destroying it.

    Yep. I think you've nailed it.

    Yes it was.

    If we had somebody who could catch punts we would have won about three more games. What a weird fucking team that 2010 group was.

    Not sure if it's less embarrassing or more embarrassing that we had played for the NC the season before. I'm going to go with less.

    Yep. Can't afford $95 million right now. Don't fire him. Reassign him to an assistant athletic director role and keep paying him his $9.5M salary on the current schedule even if you have to do it for ten years. Easier to make the monthly payments than pay the lump sum, especially when you're going to have to pay for a replacement at the same time. Fire the rest of the staff (hopefully they don't have long guaranteed contracts).

    I think his contract stipulates he must be the Head Football Coach.
