6 more hours and 15 minutes. I'm trying to be patient.... *sigh*

You seem to expect an awful lot from Tesler's mooks.

One of the BEST episodes of Tron: Uprising. So much depth and. And , so a few references to the original Tron. I'm even more hooked than before. Tron: Uprisings demise saddens me to no end. Here's to hoping Disney is saving resources for Tron 3.

I get the feeling that she doesn't belive Tesler one bit. She knows that Pavel is to blame...at least I hope so. If not, once she figures out who the Renegade is, and what secrets Tesler keeps, she should be ready to turn. Prefereably before the end of the season, I like Paige and want her to become the first to join the uprising.

If Disney does'nt CANCEL the show, they can get to that point where Paige is on his side. I believe the writers intend to have Beck slip by revealing his mannerisms that Paige will notice and then realize "Wait a minute. . .I've seen that move before. Renegade is Beck!".

Kind of like where Robocop reveals his pistol swivel into his holster like old Murphy did in the original Robocop that his partner noticed and figured it out.

That has already happened before when she noticed how Beck flips the mechanic's tool before he uses it. So she definitely is observant enough to do so, I'm just not sure if they will retread that trope.

Interesting how. in the end, Pavel is awarded with his own governorship of Purgos. Since this area is where Dyson had Clu's project built "under the radar" can't help but wonder if this somewhat ties in the final episode of the season. (Since Disney is apparently keeping tight wraps on "Terminal", No synopsis has yet been found.)

Disappointed that Paige is rather ready and eager to trust Tesler so easily after all that's happened. And given that she already heavily knows or deeply suspects Pavel really was behind her frame-up why she would be willing to go back to such grumpy and fickle employers, She may not have gone through the repurposing process but that would not rule out that she would not be able to go against her servitude to Clu2. There may be code that won't allow it.

While I'd like to see her switch sides and join the revolution I haven't personally seen anything in her character which would honestly choose to do so.

And a show of hands who had already figured out Tron was not happy when he learned Beck had agreed to go out with Paige on a date in the first place. Er...pardon: "Gathering intel".

Either Beck reveals himself to her as the Renegade OR she starts piecing things together a la Sixth Sense, then she might be intelligent enough to solve it. I think the mechanic tool flip is a foreshadowing of him doing that again in front of her. I'm also wondering if Tesler knew Pavel as being a jerk and "promoted" him to a new precinct away from his command so that he can have Paige around. I've a feeling Pavel is gonna get 'whacked' Sopranos style eventually or secretly team with Dyson which would be too nasty to behold.

Good Point. I thought that might happen during this episode since they went skydiving twice, but no dice. Yeah I'm not sure exactly what Tesler is up to, the trick will be to see how his secrets come to light. You don't have him kill so many people close to Paige and not have that come to fruition later on.

Zen Thing Wrote:well i generally havta watch each episode a few times just to soak up the artistic awesomeness. but this was one of the first episodes that i needed to go back and sync up plot details. if it wasnt obvious before- this is not a kids show. and everything from the "Tron will return after these messages" abrasive transition to the commercials- Has you reaching for the remote to mute the load transition so you arent blasted by the glowing pillows or tortilla toaster. I just am at a loss why Disney made these decisions, which may ultimately bring this series to a close. i hope they option it to ABC for a first season rerun or to ADULT SWIM. now on to the episode itself- i have a few questions... 1. was this the first apperence or mention- of grid worms, in all of TRON mythology? 2. was Gorns helper that the TRON equivalent of Frankenstein- i didnt grasp what he was. it was the first time if seen a ogre-ish program. other than that. this series is only gaining momentum and i tell my friends to watch it but few people have the disney alt channels. its a debacle.

I think the only way to save and continue the show is option it for Adult Swim or do it as an internet exclusive. I'm a bit stunned to see how near-sighted they are when it comes to thinking ahead. In fact, why the heck did'nt they just bring the toys or merchandising for Uprising to increase awareness of the show? If they had done that, the toys would be rare collectibles.

And if they cancel it, it must go on as a virtual season or novelization series. Even in graphic novel format but it has to be done right, and with the right staff who knows their stuff.

Grid worms? First time I've ever seen them as they were never mentioned in the first film or Legacy. It's almost as if they went 'retroactive' on the story.

As for Gorn's helper, Lomox, I've a feeling he was a normal program back then but Pavel probaby did something to cause his 'rictus' smile.
