There's like... 5 layers of irony in the existence of Genlock season 2. The theme of the Ship of Theseus being prominent in season 1, and later season 2 being transfered to a different company, with writers, artists, and overall staff being replaced entirely to the point where it's not the same show anymore. The hamfisted anti-capitalist ideology that wasn't present in the first season (or at least not in the way s2 presents it), and the fact that season two is what it is because of greedy capitalistic practices. The fact that a plot point was greed and wanting results as quick as possible (also leading to the plot being rushed), and the fact that season 2 was quickly rushed out with only about a week of marketing out of nowhere.
Just... So many things. They may have had an RT supervisor, but a lot of good THAT did.

Gen:Lock 2.5 Re(view/cap)
I think this is the best episode in the season so far. I really enjoyed the characterization in it. Let's get to it.
Cammie
Okay so it seems obvious that they're pulling a Rogue One situation. If this is meant to be the definitive end to the Gen:Lock story, alot of what happened before now makes alot of sense.
I absolutely LOVED Cammie's story. I don't think it had the time it needed to breathe, but for what it's worth they made it work. Given all that we've learned this season the progression of her character from moment to moment seemed very plausible to me. She summed it up pretty well with the idea that she needs an "us."
Here's my thing with the discourse from this week:
Tumblr media
This person (who I'm anonymizing for obvious reasons) would be right if what the Union was planning on doing was "genociding humanity." Let's break it down.
The Union does not think they are genociding humanity. They think they are giving humanity a new home in the face of climate collapse. We can call it a lie or a fantasy, but so too follows for all religions because the Omnifaith is literally every religion. It's obviously not a 1-to-1 because the real world doesn't have magical glowy nanobots to yeet your body away, but like if we're willing to suspend your disbelief that far to separate these fictional circumstances from the real world ones, I just don't understand how a person could come to a conclusion as if they aren't.
There is already proof that they are not just murdering people. Gen:Lock as a concept is just temporarily killing yourself to pilot a mecha. It's why one can't "exceed uptime," if one does, their brain will literally be unable to revive their consciousness. They never explicitly say this but I think it's pretty clear. They are not just "falling asleep," their entire person is moving from place to place. And if all it took to "die" was uploading their consciousness into a digital framework, disregarding your body, Gen:Lock is a weaponized, repeated and voluntary suicide they've been participating in since Day 1. If anything Gen:Lock exceptuonalizes the concept, making martyrdom of it. I don't think there's too much here to there for Cammie, who helped develop the thing.
But okay fine. Fine. Maybe the Flow is worse because it's not reversible. There's no returning to your body when you ascend like in Gen:Lock. Two things: the flow literally brought Yaz back to life (although I don't know if she's aware of it), and Brother Tate -- who wholeheartedly believes in his message -- was brought to and fro as well. But even beyond that, Chase cannot return to his body. And moreover, he chose to be stuck in his bot brain forever. Does that mean Chase committed suicide? I think it's more complex than that.
And you might be asking "why doesn't the show just show what it is like in the Flow?" Because the Polity is based on science, which is a necessarily evidence based field. But in contrast to that, the Union is based on faith. Evidences of faith are not literal. It wouldn't be an interesting story if we just got to saw whether or not they were right or wrong. Showing all these people that believe in it is the evidence. But in case that wasn't enough there's alot more i.e. them actively developing it to be more sustainable.
I don't think the show is saying Cammie's suicide was a "good" thing. I'm not down for ascribing moral quality of any kind to suicide. But I don't think the show is glorifying, but the show's characters definitely are. I think the show is simply showing that Cammie did what felt right to her. Why she did what she did and the coercive qualities of the Omnifaith are all important in this conversation! And I think ultimately Cammie didn't even think she was committing suicide, or at the very least she wasn't in a place to acknowledge it. But I think this rough discourse is what makes her story work.
Other G:L
Chase please go to therapy.
Val please go to therapy.
The fact that Yaz mindshared Kazu's DEATH is soooooooooo interesting and should've been way more than just a "talk." Girl's been paid dust.
...oh yea Kazu yea I guess we don't care about him anymore lol
Polity
Marin's characterization this episode was absolutely flawless. Her little speech gave so much context to her as a character. I can finally get behind watching her now that I know. She's not paranoid or cold. She loves her nation and its people. But she values their lives over their choices, and that leads her down a dark path. She's just got a bad case of "tough love." I feel like I've met the exact type of person her character is hyperbolizing.
Union
Wash rinse repeat.
No Man's Land
The gays keep winning. I don't have much to say about Sinclair, but his conflict is nice. Even they struggle with helping others when it's at expense to themselves. I think what Chris says in response is the theme of the whole episode:
"You give people a choice. That's your third option. And she's made hers."
Conclusion
I'm so ready for this show to end. In both a "I wanna see where this is going" and a "if I have to look at one more discourse I'm gonna explode" kind of way. I'm excited for next week though, which is at least better than the last.
Final Ranking: 8/10

Boil for Several Years, Then Steep- a gen:LOCK Fic
I’m back with another gen:LOCK story! This one is somewhat of a sequel to “At Least For Now”, as some events from that story are mentioned here. But, you don’t have to read that one to understand this! 
Summary:
Colonel Marin is the only thing keeping the Polity from falling apart. She knows this but doesn't like to think about it, not because she doesn't want to feel prideful, but because thoughts like that only lead to stress and she desperately can't lose hope. But, when she sees idiots like Dr. Weller, she sometimes debates letting the Union win.
It would help her sanity at least.
I’ve worked on this fic for over a year, until I forgot about it for a while! I finally finished the other day, so I hope you enjoy! A preview will be below, go to the link in the notes to read the full story on AO3!!
She couldn’t deal with this. She had notifications and screens blowing up left and right as ABLE spammed her with new reports on the Union’s effort to take the Ether, the Vanguard’s struggle to intervene with the forces pushing rather violently against the line that was falling further and further west with each battle, and most concerning-
“Doctor focus! Prepare your team for immediate evacuation!”
“But I just put the kettle on!”
“This isn’t a joke! We have intelligence, the Union is stepping up their efforts to find you!
Raquel had prioritized one report over all the others. It was the reason she had started this call with such franticness in the first place. While the Ether was more important to the people, making sure Dr. Weller was safe was more important to the war. And the number of red dots she saw coming up from the south in the Pacific was extremely alarming.
“Why does this sound familiar? Oh, right! This is exactly what I warned would happen if you militarized my program!” She tried to remain calm even as the Doctor yelled exasperatedly at her. Three archived reports flashed on her screen, sent her way in order to emphasize his point. These weren’t the only three, she knew that. They had done much more than infiltrate or steal data, and she feared what other reports would be on her desk within the next hour if they didn’t move fast.
“We’re not doing this again... They’re already on the hunt, you are in danger!”
She had already sent several hundred of her men his way. Raquel didn’t like it, but she had to risk losing their hold on the line if it meant ensuring the safety of Dr. Weller. All of his scientists could go, by what these reports had shown, most of them weren’t trustworthy anyway. But he had all the notes, all of the understanding of gen:LOCK inside of him. She couldn’t let his brain fall into the Union’s hands. Not now.
“Then we should collect our new recruits! All four of them, as swiftly as possible!”
Recruits. She stared at the children on her screen. The party animal disguised as an intelligence officer, the baby-faced girl who had hacked her way into a job for the Polity, and the cook who couldn’t be trusted to put his anger to good use in a fight. Sure, there was the one competent ranger from her own jurisdiction, but she knew Rufus, and he wouldn’t let her get one without the others.
She thought of the Union pilot she had granted asylum to and sent to the Doctor a few years back. She thought of Chase, locked in a tank inside the lab. The lab which was going to be under fire within the next three hours.
“No way! Pack your things, get ready to move!”
“I’m not going anywhere. Not until you say yes.”
She tried to resist the urge to just tell her men to kill him instead.
When he had first shown her the plans for gen:LOCK, none of it involved looking into battle experience, and he intended to keep this completely medical, all research focused on saving lives and minds that were trapped inside their own bodies, and eventually entering the mainstream. But then they had located Chase as one of the recruits and everything in New York happened and it all had spiralled so fast and she had given them the order to retrieve him and-
“Are you holding yourself hostage?” Her voice screeched as she tightened the grip on her desk, leaning closer into the call as the static increased. He was an idiot, a damn idiot- but he….
“...Maybe? Yes? Yes! I think I am!”
She could see the same thing happening now. The number of jets and ships that carried who knew how many soldiers and drones and mechs were speeding up towards the west coast. She knew telling him all of this would do no good. He would load up all of his equipment and Chase and Madrani on the ship, there was no doubt about that, but she knew she would receive word that he had left himself to the Union’s clutches out of spite. She had known this man for years, and gen:LOCK was not the first thing they had butted heads over.
She loosened her grip, and sat back in her chair, covering her eyes with one hand. ABLE dimmed the lights for her, and got rid of some of the screens, leaving only the call on.
She didn’t want this to be the last.
“...Fine, yes. Just prepare to relocate to the Anvil! I’ll arrange to have your new recruits transferred there.”
“Fabulous put the tea on and we will be there soon!” She heard the call end, but not before there was the tell-tale sign of Rufus scrambling out of his chair, a word cut off as he went to signal to someone about what to do. Madrani, most likely. Raquel knew she didn’t need to worry anymore. The Union didn’t know where the Doctor was, they had moved the base multiple times since the previous incidents, only that he was somewhere over there. She knew the Polity’s Naval forces would be able to hold them off, that they wouldn’t have to fight a two front war so soon. She knew that there wasn’t any real risk but-
He was going to give her a stroke, either way.

Observations on The Only Me I Know (2/5 The Conversation)
Tumblr media
Throughout Nemesis’s appearances, it’s been very clear that it was very unstable.
Tumblr media
It speaks much more coherently in this episode, which only reinforces this image.
Tumblr media
You get a sense of just how much the Union has messed him up, which breaks Weller’s heart all the more.
Tumblr media
The Union seems to have turned Nemesis’ anger towards Weller and the ESU. He seems particularly incensed about being replaced, and the gen:LOCK program continuing without him.
Tumblr media
Weller is desperate to help Nemesis, but it doesn’t seem to make much difference.
Tumblr media
Of course, chase has his own solution.
Tumblr media
He antagonises him.
Tumblr media
Maybe not the best choice.

Best of 2019 TV Shows #25: gen:Lock (Rooster Teeth/Adult Swim)*
The TV side of things begins with the first of five nominees for the best new show of the year. 
And considering this is coming from the same studio that delivered one of the decades best it’s surprising how much they’ve upped their game.
2068, in a world that has seen a paramilitary organization conquer the majority of the world, only one bastion of freedom remains, the vanguard. A pilot from the Vanguard named Julian Chase portrayed by Michael B Jordan, and his girlfriend Miranda played by Dakota Fanning are telepresencing with his mom, when New York is attacked by the union.
Julian would end up crashing, and Miranda not knowing his fate would go on with her life. 5 years later and on the brink of world domination the vanguard fall with one last gambit. Created by Rufus Weller played by David Tennant, the Gen:Lock program would merge the soul of the pilot with the mind of the mecha providing an unlimited usage for manpower.
Four candidates, notabley led by Cammie played by Masie Williams are picked for the program but their commander ends up being the soul of Julian himself now confined to a tank while his body recovers from the damage.
The show unexpectedly gels with unique visuals and a very unique score which brings what made mecha shows unique and gives them an American twist relevant to today’s world and  timeframe.
Rooster teeth has grown leaps and bounds beyond their initial start up phase nearly 20 years ago.
With RWBY already leading the charge and the pull of the major cast, this shows that not only can they create amazing things, they can even produce some game changers as well.
Sum 22: A Mech anime becomes Americanized for all in the first nominee for the years best new show. Monica Rial as the Puerto Rican colonel is the unsung gem.

Gen:Lock S2 Wrap-Up
Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa YES. What a finale! What. A. Finale! I refuse to get over this what a freaking redemption arc this show had. Thoughts in semi-chronological order because I can't be bothered to structure my excitement.
Yaz! Yaz character development! Yes!!!! She said things! She *did* things!!!
I VERY much like the route they've gone with our heroes. This is such a thoughtful reimagining/interpretation of the G:L technology from season 1.
Oh poor Henry....
I really appreciate how they did not try to play to both sides in this series. They did not "meet in the middle," so to speak. Yes both sides had valuable input to the overall good outcome, but as Dri said: Sinclair gives people a choice to make. That's the third option.
Speaking of, Sinclair knocked it out the park this episode. I appreciate that he doesn't hesitate to do what needs to be done, even if what he did kinda....messed things up. All of the characters' actions this episode felt so...in character.
Marin's death was tragic in that she actually had good reason to keep those Holons alive. She made her choices, and in the end it didn't matter, but she did what she felt was right until the end of it all. I appreciated that. Also her final scene with Holcroft while Sinclair is mercing her command central was hilariously timed and also really well written.
Holcroft suuuuuuucks. I mean we knew that but he suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Dr. Jha??? Queen. Royalty of the highest order. Absolute monarch. The reigning champ. "You don't have the grace to be a martyr." !!!!!! None of you can touch.
HE RECLAIMED THE NEMESI! THE SCENE REVERSAL OMG
GIANT MAGICAL GIRL MECHA???????? GIANT MAGICAL GIRL MECHA??????????????????????
Odin looks uggo I'm so sorry. Did he need toes??
Despite the fact that Brother Tate was the world's largest cult leader/technological innovator (kersplat) he was really right about some things (still went kersplat).
Val x Yaz? Are we all getting the vibes? Just me?
I've seen alot of complaints about this show not doing anything to address climate change and instead opting for a digital solution to all their problems but there's two things to remember here:
Season 2 introduces Earth to be already "beyond saving (which I think the show bucks a little bit but I'll get there). The world is not being "threatened" by climate disaster. This is dystopia.
The nano can be injured, and it survives by eating organic matter, so even if everyone is uploaded with Un:Lock, I think the answer to their problems will be a little more complicated than just letting the planet die. But if this season has taught me anything it is that people will, without a doubt, come up with the least favorable interpretations of things they do not like possible. We've all been guilty of it. But I'm so glad I kept warm by this dumpster fire. I never wanted it to be perfect. I just wanted it to be authentic. And personally I think that despite the numerous gaping potholes in the road? These writers? The animators? This team of individuals, they got there.
There truly is something spiritual about the process of becoming the nano. Chase's resurrection is one of this show's most impactful scenes. He is G:L tech. He is Twilight. He is everything. But most importantly, he is real. And he does not "earn" ascension through suffering, like Brother Tate or even Weller believed. He received it through love, and acceptance, and commitment. And I mean, for as much grimdark this show went through, that's a truly hopeful message.
I said it at the start of these reviews and I'll say it again: I'm glad this show exists. It should not exist lol. But I'M GLAD that it does. Thanks for reading.
Final Ranking: 10/10
Final Season Ranking: 6/10
