![]() You saw players with the jet pack for example? The Jetpack is an example of a card. Senior producer Sigurlína Ingvarsdottir explains the change, "so we don’t have classes but as you progress in the game you are able to unlock more and more of these cards. And guy who used to be on Earth: Final Conflict.Instead of pre-defined choices like assault or engineer, Battlefront has Star Cards that you form into hands that shape your character's abilities. And besides, there's no way "Dice" deserves more than a 4 anyway. Alas, now that the show's episode order has been cut down from 13 to 10, that seems unlikely. My esteemed colleague Matt Fowler recently suggested that at the rate my weekly The Cape scores have been increasing (from a 3 to a 4 and then to a 5 last week), we would hit a 10 soon. Also, Summer Glau's Orwell is in this episode too, but there really isn't anything to talk about regarding her. And Chess is turning out to have Sybil type issues, as Elliott Gould seems to imply in his brief turn as Peter's doctor. It seems that Max's taking Vince in and giving him the cape wasn't such a coincidence after all. And when he's not flashing back, he's doing that increasingly creepy stalker thing to his wife and kid again. Like more of his textbook flashbacks which tell us lots of stuff we already know and very little that we haven't already figured out. Vince has other things on his mind anyway this week. This sequence, which sees the screen split into various panels comic-book style to depict three different points of simultaneous action, almost feels fresh for a minute there, until one realizes how sloppily cut together the whole thing is and, ultimately, how meaningless the scene is. This protection mostly comes in the timeliest of arrivals when the aforementioned falling chandelier almost takes out Chess. Mine eyes have seen the glory of The Better Mousetrap, and it is Dice's nonsensical abilities! Meanwhile, Vince finds himself in the unenviable position of having to protect Chess from the girl, because if she succeeds in killing the villain then he'll never be able to prove his innocence. Or something? It's, yes, vague, as we learn that Dice is able to do things like, for example, roll a coin, which causes a faucet to open, which makes a circuit box short out, which causes a chandelier to fall… which almost lands on Chess. So Dice plans on using her precog powers to kill Chess, but it seems that beyond simply being able to see the future she can also manipulate the future. The show's writers don't even ask such questions. If you invented a machine that could predict, say, the stock market's moves, why would you want to sell such a device? Why not just use it yourself to make money? And if everyone owned a precognizant iPad (which is what this thing looks like), what would that mean for the future? It's the sort of loopy space-time continuum talk that boggles the mind… except it doesn't when being handled by The Cape. The scheme also doesn't make much sense, as per The Cape policy. He's gearing up to mass-produce these devices and sell them. Anyway, Dice is all grown up now and wants to assassinate Chess, who has mapped her brain and created a machine that can predict the future. This allows the cast of The Cape the chance to predict their future just like Dice can: All they need to do is take a look at Kilner's career. ![]() Chess, from when she was just a little girl and the daughter of the guy who used to star on Earth: Final Conflict (Kevin Kilner). But what we do know for sure is that she is the result of an experiment funded by Peter Fleming, a.k.a. (Oh, and apologies for the lateness of this review, but the IGN editorial team was away on a retreat earlier this week and we're all playing catch up as a result.) In this past Monday's episode, called " Dice," former American Beauty Suvari shows up as the eponymous character, a woman who can predict the future. ![]()
