Can’t have a swimsuit without a closeup crotch shot.

Gee, I wonder why she abruptly started acting supiciously. Maybe we should bring up that it started right after the Puppet Master incident. Where it declared itself to be a ghost. In some kind of, I dunno, shell-like container. I’m not really sure what the first half even added to the whole Puppet Master lore or story. What was new? The exact scientists that developed it? It’s timeline of being a chatbot from the far far off future of 2025? That the previously unseen random dude is taking the fall for it?
Anyway, that half of the episode padded out and then ditched, it’s time to move into scuba time close-up ass shots of Motoko. Stay classy. But that too requires six minutes of debriefing before it can begin. A debriefing that ends up not actually making much sense. They were set up to publicly expose them as black ops, but also, they just went in guns blazing off apparently zero intel. Both sides are problematic here. First, that they would have any issue with this at all with all the random murdering in full view of the public characters have done. No, I haven’t forgotten the random ax terrorist thing. Second, that they would be this stupid and mass murdery off nothing whatsoever. As far as setups go, this was quite literally nothing. I wasn’t even clear that they were trying to capture the random dude to start with.
