Continuum 3 minutes to midnight6/27/2023 “3 Minutes to Midnight” is an episode full of answers and revelations, with the potential to turn everything about Continuum on its head. Where do I even begin? Phrases like “mind-blowing,” “earth-shattering,” and “game-changing” come to mind. I enjoyed how the plans of Alec, Liber8, Kellogg, and Kiera all converged in such an odd yet effective way, and pretty much everyone on the cast gave strong performances. “Revolutions Per Minute” was still a decent episode overall. Maybe there’s an explanation for this, but if so, I missed it. Now things have changed even more despite Kiera’s best efforts, but the continuum remains un-kerploded. It’s somewhat understandable considering what happened to her sister, but still…Īlso, in the season premiere, we saw all of time and space collapse because of Alec’s meddling. Kiera has spent most of the series trying desperately to preserve her future, but she went out of her way to shut down Flash before it started, which will undoubtedly have consequences. Something else I feel strange about is how the attitudes toward altering history have changed so much. I guess just an attempt to humanize Dillon? Didn’t work very well, regardless. On the other hand, the plot surrounding Dillon’s daughter wasn’t interesting at all, and I’m left wondering what the point of it was. Unfortunately, this also got the least attention of all the episode’s story arcs. I’m now thinking perhaps he comes from a future that has been changed by Kiera’s actions in the past (where Kellogg became emperor of everything instead of Alec?), and is even worse than Kiera’s soulless dystopia. The most interesting part of this episode in my view was the continued effort to learn John Doe’s identity. As Jason experiences a welcome jolt of lucidity, Alec is already moving on to other plans, hiring Julian of all people to help improve Piron’s image. Meanwhile, Alec 1.0 makes a breakthrough with the aid of Kiera 1.0’s stolen CMR, but when he tests his new device on Jason, it has unexpected results. They’re testing a new drug to treat Alzheimer’s, which immediately reminds Kiera of Flash.įurther complicating matters is that Dillon’s daughter has succeeded in infiltrating Liber8, and they’re using her to infiltrate the pharmaceutical company.įlash may also hold the answer to John Doe’s identity, if Kiera can get him some. The main plot deals with Liber8 taking an interest in a pharmaceutical company which is currently small, but will be a major player in the future. It’s another episode where a lot is happening, but not all of it is particularly compelling. It’s not really filler, but it sort of felt like it at times.
