Were the fire, smoke and ash everywhere in the final Stronghold scenes there just for a dramatic visual? Wasn't the attack carried out digitally?
I believe the fire was part of the Praetorians action to erase the village and search for survivors. But it kinda sounded weird that the all powerful Envoys hadn't thought about the digital attack possibility since they even had VR training.
If Rei had Quellcrist backed up, why not have Kovacs backed up too?
I believe that she counted on the fact they would be physically together in the end, and decided to backup Quell only in the plane. Why she backed up Quell, is unclear and doesn't make sense since she hated her and wanted the brother all for herself, even with weird implications like on the Ortega's sleeve scene.
And she didn't have access to Takeshi's stack because the Protectorate put him in jail after Jaeger got him, so she couldn't put him on a sleeve alone.
- Ending. Throughout the show Meths demonstrate an utter disregard for the law, yet the Bancroft's just go quietly at the end?
Bancroft was ''different'' and had his twisted sense of honor and crossing that line was just too much for him. For someone who killed himself, it does a little sense that he accepted to be punished.
