ANOTHER BAD STORY
I hoped that Frank Spotnitz would be able to write a more interesting episode than the previous ones, but the writer failed exactly like the others did before him. His story is completely boring. There is a couple at a lake, there are digital clones of digital characters. There is water...
STALLING
We are already six episodes into the series and we are nowhere near making progress in the main characters finding an exit from the virtual reality of Harsh Realm.
Going back to LOST, the characters were finding clues throughout the episodes that would ultimately help them leaving the island. Sure, as any long TV series, it had countless back-and-forths and red herrings, but it was exciting to watch and, as an audience, you couldn't wait to see the next part of the story. I vividly remember when John Locke found the mystery hole in the ground. How exhilarating it was!
Here, we are just witnessing fillers. Writers seem to be forced to find unconnected stories that serve no purpose whatsoever in the hero's quest.
It's like if Frodo would start his journey to go to Mordor, but instead of moving forward, would solely spend his time on random quests without making one step forward.
In LOST, you would see one step forward, and yes perhaps two steps back, but things would progress. Here, we are at stall, forever and ever.
THE BEST OF THE WORST
What's even crazier is that Inga Fossa and Santiago, the two most interesting characters of the series, do not even appear for one second. Why would you not fully utilize your best elements, knowing that your show is in a dire situation? It's beyond me.
VERDICT
I give the episode 1 out of 5. I don't see the point of me wasting my time watching this. I would have much more fun watching any A-Team or MacGyver episode than this. I said it.
