[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So after all that the hard drive self destructed. How anti climatic and what a waste of time dwelling on it the majority of the season.

I would've had the detectives use it as reverse black mail, release it to the press, or something (anything) that adds irony or suspense. All these potential solid parts the storyline hinges on and then nothing comes to fruition...And you have to remember characters that make a 30 sec appearance way back from the beginning of the season and never seen again until the last episode and you think to yourself "who was that again?"[/quote]

It seemed weird to me that the corrupt cops just killed Velcoro when he told Holloway in the train station, "If anything happens to me, this stuff on the hard drive hits the cloud." Why would the bad cops then just gun him down? Wouldn't they do anything to avoid killing him so that a) they could find out where Ani was, and b) to avoid the stuff on the hard drive going public? Or maybe they just figured (correctly) that Velcoro was bluffing.

I agree that there were a lot of red herrings and stuff that didn't go anywhere, but I thought it was to try and keep you guessing -- like the thing about Ani's dad's cult, the vague allusions to motorcycle cop having done really bad stuff when he was overseas with the military contractor, and the thing about the woman whose sister was missing and who Ani later rescues from the sex party only to have the sister say, "What's your problem? I was fine being a prostitute!" What was the thing about the mayor's wife being treated by Dr. Pitlor and then killing herself - did that really go anywhere?

As for minor characters showing up later in the season as significant, the same thing happened in Season 1 - where a very minor character later turns out to be the main killer. [/quote]
