It is definitely safe to say that the series premiere of the new Apple TV+ series, Prime Target, left us with more questions than answers, and that’s not a bad thing by any means. Because that premiere sucked us into a world of intrigue, where apparently certain research regarding mathematics has caught the attention of both the National Security Agency and private sector employers, and some are willing to kill to keep that research hidden away from the rest of the world, and that’s just not something you see on television all that often. And of course, the bloodthirsty desires of some are what brings about those questions, the kind that thankfully, the next episode of the show took the time to answer. Courtesy of a grand quest in ‘The Sequence’. One that revealed that Taylah survived the attempt on her life and worked quickly to pack her bags and pack her gear. All so she could escape what she knew was coming. Which was a tying up of loose ends, since the last of her colleagues was brutally murdered in this tale, and once she had her bearings… she made her way back to America. Wherein she quietly discovered that Edward was conducting that grand quest to figure out what he stumbled upon and what Safiya uncovered and that prompted the show to do a little flashback work. To transport us to 1994 to meet Safiya and see her working on the mystery, so that we had better context of the entire situation. Wherein we came to learn she knew Mallinder in his youth, and that his response to her work and her research was as negative as his response to Edward’s. But Safiya’s journey took a vastly disturbing route back then. For the deeper she went into her work, the more paranoid and fearful she became. To the point where she cut interpersonal ties and hid away from the world. For she believed that her work had attracted something grand and evil, and that prompted her to take her own life and bury that work, which was a stunning path for certain. And sadly, her fears had outright merit. Because as Edward continued to dig deeper and deeper into her work, he came to discover that it was indeed being sought after by others. To the point where he was mugged for her research. Which left him wondering what to do next, but thankfully Taylah found him and that was when some answers came to bear. In that, it turned out that Edward and Safiya came to discover a unique pattern structure in prime numbers. Which would in essence create a digital skeleton key for every digital lock in the world. Since everything we do with computers is based on a prime number structure. Which would in turn, give whoever had the full understanding of this pattern, the power to do whatever they wanted digitally and potentially bring the planet to their knees. Which is about as scary as it gets, because we live and die by the computer now and well, that brought forth a sobering ending to a tense tale. In fact, that tension was further enhanced by the mysterious actions that took place at the dig site. All of which clearly informs us that there is something afoul in the shadows of the world and it is eager to grab hold of a great secret, and because of that… Edward and Taylah’s lives are in great danger. Which made for an epic story, one that clearly set the stage for more discovery since we must know who wants this, and what they have planned for it, and that is going to make the wait for next week’s episode quite difficult in nature. As we wait to see what other unique and horrifying truths this story is going to send our way. Until next time. Watch ‘Prime Target’
