But it's just like...

Quantum stuff is complicated.

I'm not a theoretical physicist here, but there's the whole idea of quantum entanglement where particles can be connected across a distance and quantum superposition and all this stuff.

It could be exponentially faster and more powerful than a typical computer.

And they've done some experiments where you can...

take an atom or something, take a particle and rewind it a second or a millisecond or something.

Theoretically, there's some basis to this, but the idea that you could then extend that to a community and people is just beyond anything that we could conceive of.

We're firmly in the sci-fi realm here, so this is very much a technobabble, hand-wavy, sure, quantum computer.

Okay, let's go with it.

But

It reminds me, it's almost a different type of show now because it has graduated to... It's always been sci-fi in a sense, in the sense that we're in a future post-apocalyptic scenario here.

We hope that's sci-fi.

But now it's kind of graduated to...

almost paranormal territory because like there are parts of this season where we're we're into like x files where i mean literally x is getting like premonitions you know premonitions he's like seeing visions of some sort and there's like deja vu going on there's like a matrix aspect to this and then we learn it's the quantum computer just messing with their minds in some way

And we don't really know what that means, ultimately, what the upshot of that is.

And the one thing that worries me, so when Sinatra hands off this key card to X, she is basically like, you know, he's like, what makes you think I'm going to do any of this for you?

And she says something to the effect of like, I think you already have.

You already did it.

Yeah.

Yeah.
