This episode has its weak moments (on the way preceding to the Head in the Clouds), but it got the intensity quite right. Solid first half and a nice concluding ending to this episode. Intense and piecing the puzzles that have been built together in the whole season. This is an excellent build up to the season finale.
Like someone mentioned elsewhere around here, things were rather enjoyable until his sister showed up. I feel that she drags the show down... Hopefully, she'll have her brains blown to bits in the season finale.
That scene with Kovacs sharing a toast with himself was technically impressive. At least I don't recall ever watching such a "fake twin" scene being shot from that angle and with such proximity between characters. Well done!
Also, that Iridium Experience is some gruesome nasty shit. I really hope they'll manage to bring the whole place down.
I have to admit I’m not a big fan of the Rei storyline either. Her obsession with her brother and hate for all the people in his life is annoying. She‘s crazy and beyond help. It was okay for an episode or two, but now it’s dragging on for too long.
I thought that maybe her story is executed better in the book, but then I read that in the book Rei isn’t even his sister. Maybe the writers shouldn’t have changed that part. It’s the weakest thing on this otherwise great show for me.
Preparing the season finale, this will be intense

I think the story and the season has been executed really well, but it's strange that the story evolved into that this is about his sister.
