You should check out the new music video “Watson”. It shows backstory on Weak and Avida.

Kiril getting what a predator like him deserves... music to my ears..

Back in episode 2, Avida said "I'm sorry to do this" right before telling Weak that Talia was his daughter. At first we thought it meant she was sorry for keeping her a secret, but this ep revealed she was actually preemptively apologizing for lying to him. Considering how Weak wasn't going to help Talia if she hadn't lied, I honestly can't blame Avida for it.

Thanks for the reaction! I have really enjoyed the constant pre-emptive trauma self-defense. No greater testament to the power of S1 than that. So interesting hearing you compare this to S1 and the love story. I think this season is less overtly intense/graphic but it takes David's and Lucy's story themes and spreads it across everyone. Everyone is a bit of a cyberpsycho in some ways driven by what they'll do for love/what's important to them and what a world of endless technology possibilities encourages them to cling on to. The title of the episode captures how so many people are making decisions specifically for the people they care about, but not asking the person they care about before acting. Talia's "Who asked you to? What made you think I would want that?" hits so hard and captures the "love" that is at the center of all of this to me. It's not romantic love, but about how broken people express their love in broken, deceptive and self-deceptive ways just so that we have something to hold on to. Strictly reserved for you, whether you like it or not. It's less overt than S1, but I think hits harder for me in some ways because it shows all the different ways David's sacrifice for Lucy can manifest. It's not always noble. Avida really bothers me, but I think in part because as an educator, I not only have seen plenty of parents (including my own) make similar decisions (although less extreme), but I know I probably have at some point lied or done blah things because I convinced myself it was for the good of someone else. Cyberpunk (the game and this show) have always been great at capturing the simple flaws and messiness we have as people and exaggerating it all the way to its bloodiest conclusion. Time to wrap this up!

This season really could have used another 2-4 episodes, the bigger cast and more sprawling narrative really could have used more time to cook before all the shit hit he fan. Season 1 was perfect because it could go from 0-100 because it was all about David, his downtime was our downtime, and his trauma was our trauma. But the jumping around in season 2 really disconnects you from the characters and the timeline. Its still great, I loved all of it, so I'm really not complaining. But compared to the masterpiece that is season 1 its definitely not as impactful. In my opinion of course lol.

Yes, but idk - I would personally never lie to a man about something like that. That's horrible and so manipulative. It's so wrong to lie to King about something like that. I feel more for King honestly. But I'm glad he is Talia's father figure now because she needed someone like him in her life ♥️

Juan Solo

Oh I agree, I definitely feel more for Weak being put in that position. Though as messed up as it was, I can't help but feel for Avida too given how desperate she was for help. Its understandable, at the very least. I think she knew he'd find out the truth eventually, and the possibility of whatever connection they had left would be burned (hence the apology). Avida is just lucky that Weak is a very forgiving man.
