iariaEpisode 10
+ Their plan this episode was actually a pretty good one. You know, if the driver hadn't been in on it. Certainly things would have been easier if they had brought Lu Di into the loop previously. Hell, the other passengers for the most part accepted the police explanation so why not take them off one by one and bring them into the loop? Or even just Jiao Xiangrong who showed a willingness to help. Regardless, it worked well and I think they could even make it work if they tried again. Once he stops instead of arguing with him, break a window immediately and try again to throw away the bomb.
+ Li Shiqing waking from the reset and immediately confronting the driver with no shits given was great. I hadn't realised they had a history.
+ I love that Li Shiqing started tying her hair back at the start of each loop - so that it can't be used as a weapon against her. Great little detail.
+ I was very amused by Lu Di refusing to believe Xiao Heyun was the police. Honestly he really should have just said 'time loop' instead of trying to be reasonable because as he previously experienced Lu Di will absolutely believe it. Happily!
+ I'm getting worried about Xiao Heyun. Why is he so affected every time he resets? It's gotten very noticeable how difficult a time he has waking up. Meanwhile Li Shiqing doesn't appear to be affected at all. Is it because he was brought into the loop while she's the original looper?
+ It appears my theory, or rather I guess Ma Guoqiang's ex wife's theory is right. Or at least part of it. Bus driver Wang Xingde and bomb lady Tao Yinghong probably were a couple, we know he had a daughter, he was very evasive about information about her so I bet she's dead. This may or may not have to do with Ma Guoqiang. If it does I still don't know how they got him on that bus.
+ Wang Xingde hesitates to let Tao Yinghong and her bomb on the bus. He has second thoughts. And yet when she is killed in the one loop he's the one who sets it off. He's clearly not sold on what they're doing and yet he also feels enough despair (?) to complete it in the end. He's obviously the weak link between them and I wonder if getting to him will be how they stop this.
