I have a feeling Beck will fight Tessler again in this episode.

Well, I seen to remember that in one of the trailers for Tron Uprising there was a fast scene of a very scared female program running away from the black guards, so maybe it's her they think is the renegade?

Same here. Waiting (im)patiently for it to pop up on the Playstation Store.

I rechecked and the SCARS Oct 26th episode is marked as scheduled to be recorded, so we will see. In any case, I found a site that streamed it on-line as well as a torrent of the episode (both of which I think are now off-line), so I was able to watch it in all it's HD glory. Here's my comments on the episode: VERY COOL CAR!!!! You see it in the trailer for Rewards, but to see it in action, wow. Sorry I didn't do any screen grabs yet. Almost Spoiler: I wonder why Tesler never got upset at Pavel? I mean, he was "upset", but at everyone, and only near the end. I also wonder what's going to happen to Hopper? He sure was a fool at the end. This episode left a lot of holes that if aren't filled, --oops, if I cant say something nice--... Overall the episode was enjoyable, but this is the first one (to me) that seemed very fomulaic. It might have been cooler if Tesler shook up his own ranks at the end, rather than just return everything to the "status quo". At least the episode introduced a (yet another) very cool new Grid Vehicle!!!!

Oh, I think Tesler is going to have more problems when "Scars" begin. Clu is sending someone to Argo City without Tesler's permission or knowledge (if that's what it looks like), then he's going to realize his glory is going to be stolen. I think CLU knows that Tron is hiding out and that he's sending Dyson to shake him up.

Eventually Pavel is going to get popped by someone.

I have PSN on my PS-3, but wondering if one has to pay for the downloads or watch them live by streaming?

BanditTron Wrote:I had to pay. $2.99 per HD episode. Standard definition also available for $1.99 per. If it helps support the series then I'm all for purchasing this every week. Plus it's worth it to me since there are no commercials or pop ups, plus the obvious fact that it's 1080p! So gorgeous!

That's $2.99 per HD episode OR $2.99 for both HD and SD versions in a bundle!

You'll probably never use the SD ones but you can still get them. Better than not getting them.

Actually, I guess if you were to take your PS3 to a friend's house to watch Tron Uprising, and your friend doesn't have an HDTV, the SD episodes would come in handy there.

Yeah, Tron piloted a sub to help Cutler and Beck escape from Tesler's battleyacht thing in The Renegade, pt. 2.

LORD_Z3DD Wrote: Anyone else noticed how VIOLENT the show is getting(Wich is awesome) ? The poor black guard cut in half and screaming desesperately HELP ME! HELP ME! while he is derezzing is something, but the way they wanted to execute the programs at the end? Stretching them until they broke in pieces? That was a method of execution in the medieval times! This series is getting away with things not even Legacy could.

The derezzing Black Guard in Tesler's nightmare was an interesting touch, projecting Tesler's own cruelty onto the renegade, but I was unimpressed by the execution scene; it didn't feel very to me, as opposed to, something like "progressive decompilation", which would require some imagination from us, the viewers, to conceive of how horrible that would be for a program. But I guess it's well-established that Tesler is a sadist and a sociopath (or the programmatic equivalent).

On the opposite side, even though the show is ramping up in terms of darkness and violence, the renegade never derezzes anybody? C'mon - it's beginning to be difficult to suspend my disbelief. Even the disintegrated-by-lightcycles execution scene would have rung a bit more true if Beck had derezzed one or two of the light cycle riders while freeing Zed, Mara, and Hopper.

I find myself kind of hoping it's Beck that sends Tron around the bend into Rinzler-ville.
