Sting!

There’s concept art floating around with Tómas Lemarquis as an unnamed character. Might’ve been for Piter, though. He was in Blade Runner 2049.

Ok I only got as far as the dad bringing him up to all the graves. Then I fell asleep.
We’ve had a long day in fairness.
I’ll have to go again.
I loved the way they packaged a lot into quick explainer bits up front. That took ages in the book.

It kind of levels out and gets easier to follow. The latest episode had an amazing space scene that was big budget movie quality
