Ep 4
A Matter of Time

Kiera arrives home to find Greg and a friend celebrating his
promotion as project leader for Sad Tech. Gathering her baby in her arms, the
power goes out. A nervous mother is concerned for the looting that tends to
follow. Greg reassured her that the power will be back on in ten seconds.
2012 As Kiera prepares for her day, the power fails. Alec
reassures her that a car hit a telephone pole. Simultaneously Carlos calls with
a case he’d like her input on as it reminds him of Liber8’s style. A professor from the university perished in
what appeared to be an accident in his lab. There was a single entry wound
penetrating his body, and in fact through several floors, down into the
basement. While Kiera is able to ascertain some details through her implant,
without her suit, frustration sets in because she can’t obtain all the Intel
she wants. Alec offers to help with the
suit, but Kiera explains it is not wired like a machine; it is regenerated like
living tissue. Alec recognizes the technology from a theory of his father’s.
Kiera and Carlos question Professor Ames’ graduate student.
From him they learn that Ames was working on a project called Calisto which
involves a way to contain and harness unlimited clean energy. The team suspect
Ames had been murdered using Calisto. The student, Shane Mathers, claims all
the files he previously backed up were deleted.
I have to admit that there are some
shows I watch that I am not “into” as much as others. Continuum
is one of those shows that I feel I must watch but that if it got
canceled that I would not be upset. I do often get wrapped up with
these shows time and again and will find myself at a point where I
can't get enough. Continuum is one of those shows and I will
attempt to document why I have trouble with it.
