The following contains spoilers for\u00a0The Peripheral<\/strong> S1E2, “Empathy Bonus” (directed by Vincenzo Natali and written by Scott B. Smith, based on the book by William Gibson)<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Two episodes in and The Peripheral<\/em> is a blast. “Empathy Bonus” begins with a firefight, flowing directly from the conclusion of Episode 1<\/a> in a way that shouldn’t have been surprising but I still found thrilling. There is a sense of novelty that runs through The Peripheral<\/em>, even as it plays with notions and premises we’ve seen elsewhere. The elements (future London and near future Appalachia, etc.) mix to give rise to a tone that feels familiar yet off-kilter, and I am loving it.<\/p>\n

And what is going on with these giant statues?<\/p>\n

The Peripheral<\/em> is so full of mysteries that this one might almost seem like background, but S1E2 is peppered with shots of this uncanny skyline, populated by Greco-Roman figures towering above decaying skyscrapers.<\/p>\n

As Lev (JJ Field) says, a lot can happen in 70 years and a lot did…but what? We have Wilf\u2019s word that we\u2019ll find out eventually.<\/p>\n

\"Wilf

Wilf (Gary Carr) and Lev are on the hunt for Aelita (Charlotte Riley), who it turns out works (or worked) for the Research Institute (who you\u2019ll recall hosted the party at what used to be Buckingham Palace last week). She\u2019s helped Lev and his technicals gain access to Flynne\u2019s world, for reasons that he won\u2019t share with Wilf. (Lev doesn\u2019t lie to his friends, as a point of pride, so stop asking the wrong questions if you want to stay friends).<\/p>\n

Flynne\u2019s world is a stub, which Wilf explains as a matter of it diverging into a new timeline once those in the future made contact with it. Which makes sense and is all well and good, except that the word \u2018stub\u2019 has some troubling connotations and those would seem to be backed up by Aelita\u2019s question to Flynne (Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz) in the pilot about whether she’d change her life if she knew she wouldn’t exist in ten years.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t seem like Flynne has put that together yet (though she does know what \u2018efficacy\u2019 means, thank you very much), but of course she\u2019s been busy trying to not be murdered and all of this information is probably a bit overwhelming.<\/p>\n

But if there are many stubs, what distinguishes this particular stub? And if Wilf\u2019s explanation is accurate, wouldn\u2019t it create a new stub each time future London was calling the past? Yet Lev seems to have an interest in the particular stub that Flynne is from. Why could that be?<\/p>\n

I wonder to what extent Wilf\u2019s explanation of stubs may be misleading. Perhaps reading about quantum tunneling<\/a> might provide a clue, or maybe The Peripheral<\/em> will end up mimicking Lev in asking us to discern between the types of questions we should ask and those we shouldn\u2019t. I hope it\u2019s not that, though. It\u2019s always disappointing when a sci-fi story waves its hands at inconsistencies in its logic (unless that show is Doctor Who<\/em><\/a> and this is done very explicitly, with a wink and smirk, as it were).<\/p>\n

\"Wilf

The Peripheral<\/em> S1E2 ends with Flynne\u2019s mother having regained her vision, so the drug that Wilf gave her seems to be working, which means that Flynne will be ready to help them find Aelita. But it\u2019s the penultimate scenes that I find more intriguing. These see Corbell Pickett \u00a0(Louis Herthum) being offered $10 million to kill Flynne and Burton (Jack Reynor), and then being wired the first quarter of that sum even though he didn\u2019t agree to take the job.<\/p>\n

A few things are of note here. Corbell is visited inside of a sim of the Tropicana Club, and he doesn\u2019t take kindly to it at all<\/em>. Of course, he seems to suspect it\u2019s Homeland Security trying to entrap him or something like that, but I have to wonder if Corbell is actually going to be so irked by the situation as to instead help the Fishers. His introduction in the pilot showed him to be a man with a defined sense of decorum, and I don\u2019t think we know how he\u2019ll factor into this story just yet.<\/p>\n

\"Corbell,

Further, it seems noteworthy that while Cherise (T’Nia Miller) insisted early in S1E2 that basically everyone Flynne has ever known needs to be killed, Daniel (David Hoflin) only asks Corbell to kill Flynne and Burton. I\u2019m not sure what to do with that observation, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something we should gloss over. We really don\u2019t know why the Research Institute is so set on seeing Flynne dead, if you think about it, since if she knows something important it\u2019s not clear she even knows that she knows it. Her knowing something still could be enough to motivate taking her out, but it goes to a further level to kill those around her, who really don\u2019t know anything. This has me guessing that there are perhaps some almost metaphysical type stakes to their continued existence, tied in with something about the stub they inhabit. Or I suppose maybe it\u2019s just wanton coldness and cruelty.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that when Flynne attempts to Google<\/del> SearcherEye Aelita West, something seems to happen to her hand. She gets no results on Milagros Coldiron (except things about baby names and the like), and nothing on Wilf, but the sudden onset carpal tunnel is a next level kind of nothing, almost like the universe telling her she can’t search for Aelita’s name…<\/p>\n

\"Flynne's

Tommy (Alex Hernandez) finds the invisible car of the commandos who attacked the Fishers, providing S1E2 with its most adorable scene as he stands agog at a coffee cup floating in the air. Tommy is a charming fellow, but it\u2019s also nice to learn that this tech is not commonly encountered in the world of 2032. That near future is meaningfully close to our own, but we also haven\u2019t learned all of its differences. We don\u2019t know what happens been then and the end of the century, but we also don\u2019t know what happened in the fictional decade between now and Flynne\u2019s present.<\/p>\n

The mysteries proliferate.<\/p>\n

It can be hard to hold everything together in The Peripheral<\/em> if you\u2019re not paying close attention, and there might almost be too many open questions even if you are, but I find it refreshing that so far the series has refused to spoonfeed anything to us, instead trusting the audience to connect dots that the show probably will draw more explicitly lines between moving forward.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m along for the ride and I hope that you\u2019ll join me all season.<\/p>\n

See you next week. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
