Human tissue doesn't work that way. And if it wasn't about a lack of parts, why is Lackki so tiny and slapped together?<br /><br />While it makes no sense, I got that the technique was more about bonding mechanics and organics into a single thing, meaning you can't just strip out the organics from Blastarr and transfer them somewhere else. And he dug his way out of a flaming furnace of a pit, so he's obviously durable, but that doesn't mean he can't be destroyed, and this afforded the heroes a perfect opportunity to try and I don't by them passing it by.<br /><br />I'm not saying you're wrong, just that I don't agree with you, and honestly, the show plays a bit vague and loose with the details, so until they give me more to go on, I'm sticking with my take. And I'm leaving it there, as I don't want this to turn into a nerd fu pissing contest.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-67968440049730845282014-12-08T12:23:09.206-08:002014-12-08T12:23:09.206-08:00I think that episode showed there wasn't any ...I think that episode showed there wasn't any energy !! not parts <br /><br /> I consider them more of bacteria type creatures unless you somehow fully destroy it, it will simply regenerate <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424728920429291832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-35876397092034194522014-12-08T12:05:17.563-08:002014-12-08T12:05:17.563-08:00It wasn't until the episode ended that I caugh...It wasn't until the episode ended that I caught them drop a line about "Project Styx", and I caught their earlier mention of looking for New Order files when I went back for the synopsis. In fact, them mentioning Styx has me wondering more about the order of the episodes, since "And Study War No More" was all about them encountering and uncovering the Styx phase of New Order.<br /><br />I agree with you about the action scenes. They need to be treated like a good musical number, in that they can't just grind the story to a stop, they still need to actively drive the narrative, or at least have a narrative of their own. Some episode are good at this. While "Wardogs" was week last weak, I thought there was a good pace and flow to the action scene, and they kept the characters involved and building. Here, it felt like they didn't know what to do, so they just left everyone standing there.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-53993100485129578252014-12-08T11:59:47.846-08:002014-12-08T11:59:47.846-08:00That episode also showed there weren't any par...That episode also showed there weren't any parts left to make more of him, and destroyed the entire process through which he was made, so no, I don't see how they wouldn't be able to just take him apart. Him having organic components doesn't make those organics immortal, especially if they no longer have a functional machine to keep them alive. Him having an ability to self regenerate/repair damage doesn't hold up if the entirety of him is taken apart. He's not Wolverine.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-43990696354148981422014-12-08T11:42:30.555-08:002014-12-08T11:42:30.555-08:00"You've got a deactivated Blastarr RIGHT ..."You've got a deactivated Blastarr RIGHT THERE and you do nothing to blow him up or disassemble him!?"<br /><br />he is biomechanic , even if you fully destroy him he will regenerate after a while so its rather pointless , he can't be just disassembled like a normal machine , the episode in which he was created clearly showed he wasn't just "assembled" on a factory like ala Terminator Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424728920429291832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-42562978371698646042014-12-08T06:49:22.187-08:002014-12-08T06:49:22.187-08:00They show up, plug Power in, have a standoff, then...<i>They show up, plug Power in, have a standoff, then leave, with so little focus put on the goal of their mission that you'd be more than forgiven for not even catching what it was the heroes were hoping to find in the first place.</i><br /><br /><b>*raises hand*</b> Guilty<br /><br />Tony Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127116586453811407noreply@blogger.com
