I can't believe that the Chinese adaptation somehow did Judgement Day infinitely better with a fraction of the budget :sob::sob::sob:

Exactly! Tencent's 2023 adaptation for this episode was far better! Also, it wasn't disturbing. Like, Netflix's, kids, seriously?
And here I was thinking the original Resident Evil laser scene was cool.

The reason for that is because they cut a lot of stuff from the novel. Watch Tencent's adaptation instead, it makes far more sense and more impactful too.

VIP2I'm still incredibly confused about what this show is actually trying to do. It appears as if we are finally getting some past lives content, but it's SO LATE in the show now.
It has spent 9 episodes crawling by on the "chemistry" of the leads with very little explanation of the plot? The thriller/horror aspect hasn't been touched, and I'm just not sure what it is I'm supposed to be getting narratively out of each episode.

@munkinone I agree. Seems to be about romance and the 'horror' part forgotten.
And then the episode yesterday with the past lives was like, "What? Why now? What is this show about again?"

@chillikun Yeah. I thought it's going to happen in episode 14 or 15.
Which means they have more interesting twists and turns in store. ^_^
Wait so are these people around and in the building from different years? Obviously none of them are from 10,000 BC that's for sure.

@terpar Nope, the buildings guys, Silas, Aldrich, Gavin, and his mom (hiding in 1988), are all from 2076 L.A.
Something happened which split the group into four:
1. Silas - has his own agenda (although, IIRC, he was protecting Gavin/Isaiah because he made a promise to his mother, so they're probably "aligned"?)
2. Aldrich - had her own agenda
3. Gavin's mother - to permanently shutdown 1988
4. James (father) - who doesn't care what happens to the past as long as the future is saved
I think when they learned they were causing the sinkholes, James changed his agenda. They will stay in 10,000 B.C. and restart the human history their way.
Also, Gavin's mother said that their own future (2076) changed after the sinkholes started showing up randomly in their history. This is probably what gave James the idea to keep the portal open, and maybe to stay in 10,000 B.C.
I'm also suspecting that James is using the portals as a weapon. When they opened a portal to 1988, it caused an earthquake, a sign of an impending sinkhole.
If that is correct, then wherever the portal is opened, a sinkhole will eventually show up too.
The portal from the Lazarus project is one way. The sinkhole is the loop back. That is why the sinkholes are showing up. The energy produced by the Lazarus portal needs a loopback. Since no one's controlling it on the other side, a loopback portal shows up randomly.
Now, why a sinkhole? It's not the sinkhole per se, it is the location of the original portal.
Over time, throughout history, the elevation of land only kept on going higher and higher. Back in 10,000 B.C. compared to the modern era (1980s onwards), a lot of layers were already added.
So, when the loopback happens, it returns to the same elevation, and it is underneath the layers of soil that accumulated over thousands of years. Which resulted into sinkholes.
Only problem, the location of the portal is random. The only possible fixed thing is its elevation, hence the loopback portal is always underneath.
--- Another possibility, James already knew everything beforehand. His wife, Silas, Aldrich, they were all kept in the dark as to his actual agenda.
