Four days later and no thread yet? No wonder it’s in its last season.
So-so episode. I liked the bonding between Olivia and her daughter. You just know that the Loyalist guard, now converted to the Resistance, will turn up in the nick of time later in the season just as all hope is lost and our heroes appear doomed.
The end of the episode made me feel like I had just watched an opening movie from a classic computer adventure game. “Now go find the 12 video tapes. Only by you finding them can the world be saved.” Player control takes over.
I’m not sure how I feel about the setting now being in the future, tho for story resolution purposes, it does make sense. I guess.
I have questions about the alternative universe, man! Are they having as much trouble over there with the Hatted Ones as our uni is? Or are the HOs just picking on us? If the HOs can get to us, why can’t they get to the alternative universe? So. Many. Questions. I kinda miss the Monster of the Week, but oh well.
Yes, the Olivia and Etta bonding is good, and I think Olivia looks older and wizened in these eps.
I saw someone point out that both the steam ejecting from the pipes in the tunnel, and the torture device that prematurely ages you, are each taken from The Princess Bride (lightning sand in the Fire Swamp, and the albino’s torture device in the Pit of Despair).
