Ehhh, there was some info not that long ago ( I can't name my sources, you understand) on Tommy being trapped in whatsitnot and the two working together to prevent creation of another sphere.

Guessing real plot would kick in later on, though bounty hunting would be more than side activity.
I seem to remember that now. Someone posted that video in another thread before. Perhaps it was you.
It's an interesting idea. I wonder if that was what they were definitely going with or just one of the scenarios being pitched. Anyways, it's too bad we won't get to find out.
