I would say instead: we unlocked a new research tree. We still need to research it, and once it’s done, new gear will be available to buy.

Thanks.

The situation on the ground is actually not as bad as that. I think most of the jamming affects aircraft a lot worse than grounded devices. Still, in Haifa (city in the northern half of Israel) even on the ground you can almost never get a good signal of your actual position.

I don’t get it, and the world’s quickest and last comprehensive DDG search didn’t find an explanation either.

I wish books gave me a small map of every location so I don’t need to just guess what the author might have been imagining while writing, specifically because of this nonsense.

But eh, who am I kidding, I don’t read books anymore :/

I’m in the annoying position of actually being able to blame my GPS. Not my navigation app, the actual GPS signal. My incompetent government, as you might have heard on the news in the past year, has decided to provoke every other country in the region (and plenty more elsewhere) into a regional war. So now in “self defense” from guided missiles, they are constantly jamming GPS signals in my city and some other areas of the country. My GPS has been telling me for months that I’m in Beirut.

Somehow this precaution isn’t necessary in Tel Aviv though? Curious…

My interpretation

Their powers changed because the marigold wasn’t in them for all those years. Their ‘potential powers’ within them drifted, and they were only locked in to their new powers when they drank the marigold. In other words, their powers can only change while they don’t have them - when they have powers, they stay the same (but can be improved a lot through training as we’ve seen).

I don’t think being mixed with another drink has anything to do with it

But it’s all open to interpretation anyway :)

Oh, right. That time and space recreation machine.

I didn’t think much of it because basically it didn’t make any sense at all. They didn’t explain what it was, what it was capable of (or wasn’t capable of), what Reginald actually wanted it to do, whether he managed to complete all the preparations/configuration before Allison killed him and pushed the button, what the ramifications of an incomplete configuration might be… Basically, anything could happen and there’s no point pondering it (in my mind). It was a really hasty season ending, which is how every season seems to end.

Sorry, what time and space recreation machine? I binged season 4 in one day, did I somehow miss something this huge?

The closest thing I can think of is the memory fiddling machine.
