They tried it so hard to make it like it was Booby until the end. Baseballs falling around when the "unknown" killer was chasing Kathleen in the old house's cellar (Bobby was a pitcher) and the most obvious one, when everyone is strapped and at the table, when the killer goes for Evan he says "You're going to break the Internet", a reference to the beginning of the film where he brags about the fight with the other team's dude and saying that that "Shit would have broken the Internet" if it had been recorded. Only the people in the car at that moment could have known about what Evan said, and Bobby was there.
Did anyone notice that Iain Adair looks a lot like Davis McCardle? There's a picture of both Kenneth and Iain hanging at the bar where the eyes, nose and ear are extremely similar to Davis. I was wondering if he was his real father (instead of Kenneth), which would have been an extra sick plot twist for this episode.
I felt that more than technology, they were criticizing the overflow (and the cult of fandom) of true-crime documentaries. It's fun how there's lot of references between the episodes of this season (Loch Henry is introduced in S06E01), and to things from past seasons (the song "Anyone who knows what love is" from Fifteen Million Merits playing in the background when Joan enters the bar on S06E01, Mike Callow from The National Anthem referenced in a poster in S06E02, Waldo referenced in S06E02 -news tickers-,...).

Actually, it was <i>"quam-puta"</i>, a joke on the quantum computer.
Or Bioshock.
It was kind of ridiculous to see Reeves running around and covering his face with the jacket during half of every fighting scene...

It reminded me of this:

I agree with you, I was also a bit puzzled by this detail. But that's the only logical explanation I could find (the Marquis granting him his freedom just before dying seemed quite convenient) :/
It's thanks to the special kevlar suit (42 regular, if I'm correct). However it felt a bit ridiculous that he has to use the jacket as "shield" (covering his face) during half of every single fighting scene.

I think he was granted freedom (his daughter too) by the Marquis before dying, so he had no longer pending businesses or had to serve The Table.
<blockquote>I was watching it and thinking: "So this malfunction could have happened to the owner or his kids. They would be trapped inside with no connection to the outside world. And would starve to death".</blockquote>
My take is that the malfunction is due to "number 3" hacking the system and messing something up, first thing I thought is that maybe there was an intrusion detection system built in that detected the hack. The fact that "number 3" knew something was wrong ("Oh, fuck!") even before the alarm sound and the "system malfunction" voice alert kicks him makes me think that it had something to do on his side.
"Nemo" made things worse when trying to shut down the alarm by tearing apart the console, you can notice that it goes from a "system malfunction" message on the screen to garbled image and temperature control as soon as he cuts something from the back of the console to shut down the "system malfunction" voice alert (the alarm sound kept going on).
With a normal use, that system malfunction <i>should</i> never happen to the owner or the kid.
Also, the flat was expected to be empty while the owner was on his (long) business trip. Would he be at home when a system malfunction occurs, I'm sure people would notice that he and/or his daughter are missing and come to their rescue. Especially, the doorman of the building should know if they are at home or not, and would get suspicious if he didn't see them for some time.
