The show continues to move between pretty good and pretty bad. At times it’s so bad it’s literally funny. You know what I’m talking about, the baby plot line vs. the inner circle grand plan.
The baby plot line is awful. Seriously, why is it even necessary? Giving us Eclipse’s family history doesn’t make this plot line any better or any more interesting. Polaris’ cold behavior makes no sense, but this is where I blame the actress, her acting abilities are at best when she’s using her powers, not when she’s trying to express emotions. The only thing that was interesting in this part of the episode was seeing Reeva Payge using her powers in a more impressive manner than in the first episode. Andy is also there in the background, but his character is just not interesting. Also, his makeover for this season looks very unimpressive, he looks like wants to be a badass, but he is not. Basically, this entire plot line is unnecessary, and I hope it actually goes somewhere.
On the other hand, the Morlocks and the inner circle’s plan are much more interesting. The Morlocks themselves and their choices are interesting all on their own. Their looks, their choice of life, their community, it is all interesting and I hope we will get to see more of them. The bigger picture that they help establish is the first move that the inner circle is going to make. It looks like it will be an interesting move even though we have no idea what it is.
Reed Strucker’s story is also starting to get interesting. Surprisingly so. His relationship with his daughter might even shape up to be something interesting and not cliché like. And then there is his wife who is a walking cliché.
Jace Turner’s character makes no sense. In the previous episode, it finely looked like Turner was back to being a normal person and now he is changing again for no apparent reason other than the plots needs him to be a certain type of person. A type of person that I am not sure Coby Bell can actually portray.
I am curious about where the show is going. Well, I am curious to see what the inner circle plan is. I see a lot of untapped potential.
For now I now I give it 7.5/10
