I was getting confused by the episode at first but then i caught on. That man leads a misguided and confusing life, it was hard to keep track of what was real or not and at some points it had me second guessing the real things for fantasys, like when he was leaned up against his locker, i was wondering, is this real or fake.I just recently received my copy of the second ghost in the shell movie in the mail, but the first hasn't arrived yet so i can't watch them yet.
And for the person about the opening movie. It wasn't even CG like I thought it would be. I wouldn't say it's better than the first season opening movie.
What does GIG stand for anyway, it annoys me that i don't know.
Ah, maybe your right about the First season openning being better, I'm not sure, I still like the new one, but anyway... on terms of the main character you mentioned (The Major/Motoko), yes that is a disguise she is wearing for this one episode as I believe they hacked Gino's cyberbrain and found that this disguise had atributes closest to the woman that gave him the STD and resultantly, joining the military. So that the Major would be able to give Gino, in a way, the ultimate in terms of a psycological hold on her, this disguise of a prosthetic body was used, allowing them to reach his thoughts on what they thought were assasination attempts he would go through with, but in reality, could not comit. Since this ep. does have a lot of "premonitions" involving actual POV (real) to main character POV (fantasy) translations that carry over seamlessly and back to actual abruptly, this is a diffucult session to follow accurately. Anyone who has not yet seen it I advise viewing it at least twice if you are completly lost (you wouldn't be the only one, lol)
PS: GIG at this point in the season could potentially have two meanings. First (and most likely) is in its literal meaning. A gig is a period of time in which someone accomplishes an extended task as part of life, for example, this would be the Major's 2nd GIG(gig) with the Section 9 crew. The other possible meaning comes from the fact that gig is spelled in all caps (GIG) and therefore could denote that it is an acronym. If this is the case, then I am unable to tell you what it could stand for just yet. For now, I am just using the literal meaning. Hope I was able to help clear some things up for you. 😄
