I take it Rimbaldi artifacts are no longer


Recommended Posts

going to be one of the driving plots of the show? Seems like the show has taken a complete 180 in it's fourth season. It doesn't even have cliffhanger ends anymore which gave the season a more "24" feel.

Not that it's a bad direction. Shows seem a little more grounded now but I'm kinda wondering where the hell the writer was going with the first three years of the show. Does anyone know if the Rimbaldi plot will be dropped completely?

I doubt they will drop the whole Rambaldi thing.

As for the direction of this season, i read somewhere that they wanted to 'get back to basics' And not every episode in the past seasons had cliffhangers. We'll just have to wait and see.

Can someone edit the title, this is kind of a spoiler, we havent got the new series of Alias as yet in the UK.

I'm avoiding the 24 thread for this reason only

Well do you think clicking on the thread helped things :) I don't think I gave anything anyway in the title. It could have been anything. Sorry if I spoiled anything but the ability to edit. A mod will have to do that for me (sorry to keep you guys busy...I didn't realize I wasn't in the Media Section ;) )

no the Rambaldi thing has always been sorta an ever so often thing....it will show up...

Not really. In the first season yeah but the third season definitely dealt with it a lot. So far, there was just a quick mention of it from Sloan in the first episode.

I doubt they will drop the whole Rambaldi thing.

looks that way...just doesn't have the "must see" feel to it anymore though. And what was the whole point of doing a whole "black ops" thing if by the second episode everyone was going to transfer over? There are not doing anything different than what they did in the past three seasons.

Anyway, I still enjoy the show. Not as much as I used too though but still one of the better shows on TV.

So far I have been REALLY dissapoint in this season. I find myself looking forward to LOST much more...

I have been a faithful fan since episode 1 as have countless others.. Now it seems they left us all hanging out to dry. Things that are left up in the air and/or annoying...

1) Sloan being the head of a new CIA division. WTF? Maybe after Saddam Hussein is tried, we can make him the head of US Homeland Security.

2) Sloans daughter and he being so close. Again, WTF? I am sorry I had to torture you last season, lets be friends now, ok?

3) Rimbaldi? Who? What did Sloan see at the end of Season 2 that changed his life?

4) Sloan and Dixon working together again? WTF? Hey thanks for killing my wife, lets work together now!

5) Dixons kids are where exactly?

6) Is Will still in witness relocation? Why exactly?

7) What happend to The Covenant?

8) The new theme song/remix stinks. I understand sex sells, but do we need a photo parade of Sydney duringthe credits? What about the other actors/actresses on the show?

More? Gimme time. Anybody else?

3) Rimbaldi?  Who?  What did Sloan see at the end of Season 2 that changed his life?

Well... I think the word he saw in the machine was "peace". Sloan said that at som point in season 3.

And it's Rambaldi.

SPOILER (select with your mouse to see)

Episode 4.08: Echoes

Anna Espinosa steps back into Sydney's life with a bang as the Rambaldi riddle creeps back into view.

Don't expect Will to come back. I'm pretty sure he was taken out of the show permantly (cept for that cameo last year).

And yeah, Lost has more of my attention now BUT I fear that if the show isn't succesful enough that they will tinker with the plot as well and leave unanswered questions. It's like they are writing the scripts on the fly instead of having a whole story fleshed out.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
