To me, in IMO, that both sides could work together.

I thought the show was good I kinda figured right away though it was some kind of dream thing, but it was cool to see both sides working together. But of course as in human nature as soon as the disastar is over we go back to our mode of being against each other, back to our differences instead of remembering our simialrties. All and all I thought it was good, for me MUCH better then that curtis peck one, and i'm happy to see Richard is back, but what is he gonna do to Izzy??? Also I think they should have let P.J. go to Promise City. I know cause their NTAC they couldn't but he was one of "them". Oh and Tom and Megan dry.gif don't see it.Oceanheart cool.gif peaceout

What?! Richard is back?! How did I miss that? Was it possibly in the next episode teaser, which I missed due to a call of nature?

Okay, my oversight aside, I have to agree that this episode was significant. Whereas many folks may discount the relevance of virtuality, I think back to Alana's ability, as well as PJ's

Whatever the participants learn and rememeber from their virtual experiences in an alternate reality carries over into real life.
Not yet having seen next Sunday's preview, I'm going to venture out on a limb.

I believe that somehow virtuality may be a critical key in resolving the impending crisis. Consider, for example, what would happen if Ryland's enhanced soldiers, NTAC, and the Promicin-positives had to work together in a massive game where the enemy was far larger than all of them, and the very fate of the world lay in the balance!

As an aside, I found it rather interesting that neither Kyle's ability nor Maia's was in evidence at any time during "No Exit". Of course, that is to be expected. Physical, temporal, and metaphysical realities, as we know them, simply may not (and often don't) apply in virtual domains. [Or is that an oxymoron?]

The most amazing twist to all this would be if it were somehow possible to transport a near magical technology (hopefully one able to "fix" everything) from a virtual reality back into the real world, effectively bridging the chasm between RL and dreamtime for that one exception. Something to think about, hmm?!

Agreed! The NTAC agents involved were rather short-sighted on this one. But I think it was because they were so traumatized by what PJ had put them through. I also think that whoever oversees NTAC must consider PJ's ability to be far more "threatening" to the status quo than anything they have yet encountered, mainly due its sheer ability to compel sworn enemies to work together.

Just as Martin Luther King, shortly before his assasination, was declared by the FBI (and other powerful government organizations) to be the most dangerous black man in the world. All because he had acquired the vision (and respect) to broaden the fight for civil rights from a simply black vrs white issue to the global issue of human rights, something that could truly unite the underprivileged!

If your power and authority are anchored on exclusive rights for a privileged few, how utterly threatening a visionary with the ability to unite everyone else would seem!

In the words of oceanheart, Peace Out! cool.gif

Amazing_Bubba
I love that episode.

It was very original and full of surprises.

It even gave me goosebumps.

The series does not have to be fully linear ... I love that last season too with Tom and his wife episode ...

I was very annoyed and VERY confused by "No Exit." Yes, I understood what happened and why, that isn't what has me confused. The relationships have me confused lol. Sorry, that's mostly what I care about in any TV show lol. Plot could be good or bad and I would still be concerned about the couples lol...anyway...wink.gif
