TV shows have so much sparse information people attach themselves onto, it's great.

Well.. As long as you literally don't take your eyes off the screen. Every time you do. You're missing the details. If you think you only need SOME senses to get the whole picture. 🤷

That just isn't how information transfer works.

This is a brief dialog from the first episode of Altered Carbon. Right after our main character awakens from a prison of darkness they put themselves in.

“You learn by watching, so watch.”

“I think I'm gonna be sick”

“not unless you learn how to take out the umbilicus you're not, look. Just give it a good hard jerk”

hand grasps doctors

“he's waking up!”

“he's fine, sometimes they flop around like fish. It just means their last sleeve died violently”

I don't think anyone died quite like Takeshi Kovacs.

He kept dying. He kept living. For his Love. For his Eternity.
