Alteredcarbonstack - Harlan's World

SWEET LORD I FINISHED IT!

MUTANT HOROSCOPES FOR EVERYONE!

Time is the greatest of all warriors. What it doesn’t destroy, it alters beyond recognition. Time tears down everything. We brace our backs against the void, desperate to hold on to the past. To our ghosts. To ourselves.

Altered Carbon  |  2x01 - “Phantom Lady”

Altered Carbon

Altered Carbon on Netflix was honestly one of the best sci fi shows I’ve ever seen. Here’s why:

1. It challenged the idea of what the human consciousness is and how it applies to the physical body.

2. It discussed ways in which the powerful will obtain and retain their authority over the powerless, and how the cycle of servitude will continue unless challenged

3. It didn’t turn women into background characters in their own lives or make them one dimensional. They were feminine and strong and sexual and intelligent and whole people rather than pretty faces who could shoot a gun while clinging to a male protagonist.

4. It explored the ways in which religion and spirituality endure (or not) when faced with a changing society and moral standards.

5. It showed a multicultural, multiethnic future in which PoC very much exist and thrive, in contrast with many white washed sci fi worlds.

6. Love! Death! Murder mysteries! Moral ambiguities and asking big questions! Victims becoming survivors! Edgar Allen Poe!

Seriously just watch this show.

“Mom said grudges are stupid. She said you had to let them go or else it would kill your soul. What do you think? I think your mom doesn’t know what the fuck she’s talking about.”

See, friends are overrated, ‘cause eventually someone will come along and shoot ‘em in the stack. You’re better off alone. Altered Carbon (2018-) 

And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.
