JPod Forums

That's very true actually. It would feel very un-jPod-ish to end perfectly how we all would want it. But it still feels kinda like torture for the fans.

I heard a rumour that after the playoffs are done on CBC, they're going to re-air the series again. So more oppurtunity to harrass CBC for more jPod?

The cliffhanger didn't bother me so much as the fact it was just a poor episode.

(MAJOR Spoiler alert -- do not read on if you haven't watched the episode yet)

The whole idea that Babette is a super-sophiticated AI built out of snippets of random code left on the servers from prior NA employees that attempts to kill Kaitlin out of a jealous rage was just way too out there. That really left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I've always liked the fact that much of Jpod (and Coupland's writing in general) is fairly tech-savvy, but c'mon, the whole Babette-psycho-AI story is just ludicrous.

I wouldn't call that a `coma', but rather a short-term loss of consciousness, which is a common symptom of oxygen deprivation. Though, typically, consciousness returns in a few minutes as oxygen returns to the body, particularly the brain. This is distinguished from a coma, which is a long-term loss of consiousness. From the medical standpoint, yes, a person could be squeezed unconscious. Death from suffocation requires a full deprivation of oxygen from the lungs, where a short deprivation or a partial deprivation is not likely to cause death. Sorry, that's a bit too much science nerdery for this late in the night.
