Of course – of course – instead of playing this revelation in a protracted, thriller-esque way, Gilligan and his team (this episode was written by Vera Blasi and directed by Gandja Monteiro) pull the rug out from under the viewer pretty quickly and squash their own big twist. “Yeah, no duh, HDP is ????,” the show basically says. “You think we haven’t also watched the past 50 years of sci-fi movies!?”

Spoiler!

going full Casino Royale in Vegas is like the ultimate cosplay adventure, a holodeck without the holodeck (but more real than a holodeck too). Still, you’d think it would all get pretty boring, pretty fast. For one thing, the cards must be fixed, so where’s the fun in that? At least on the holodeck you always ran the risk of a malfunction! (But man, if the Joined aren’t committed in their performances, even if eye-patch guy screws up at the end.)
