Time and Again

I think the show is great but I can't give it a better rating as it's to short. Netflix is making a joke out of these shows. You are a multi billion dollar company Disney, come on! :(

We're now moving closer to the end of yet another Marvel show, and this has been one of the more enjoyable ones. Not that the other have lacked entertainment value, but this has had a wide variety of things to offer, most importantly, in terms of its expanding storytelling, which gets bigger for each episode. We're not only two episodes short of a full show, so it's time to really give some gas and show us what we're going to spend two more hours with. This episode was definitely a more drawn-out episode that did leave me with more longing questions than actual answers.

A lot of people have been annoyed by the change of her powers' origin. This could not be more irrelevant for the show, so I'd like those people to just go away. This episode, if anything, did a great job of showing the inheritance of her powers. The backstory provided a nice storytelling device to show, and it gives a great connection to Kamala's past that was not explored to this depth in the original comics. And I think that would have been even greater had the episode had some time to merit on its choices and not rush a lot of its storytelling along. I don't think that having a flashback episode as your penultimate episode is a good thing, because it mostly puts the storytelling to a halt, and while this added a lot to Kamala's development as a superhero, it made for some awkward moments with her mother, who apparently accepts her powers almost immediately, yet spent the last four episodes constantly being over her like a hawk. That came way too quick for me to accepting of it. However, what it did right was lead us into the finale with some kind of idea of what's going to happen. It doesn't seem like Kamala is completely done with her fight against the Department of Damage Control, and with Kamran also getting some interesting development in this, it seems like the show still has a lot to offer. I'm excited to see where it goes, despite this episode feeling a little rushed.

"Time and Again" offered a nice backstory to Kamala's powers, but also pressed the show to a halt that made some transitions a little awkward. The performance from Iman Vellani continues to impress and the episode sets up a season finale that will put her in the middle of some very tough decisions yet made.

It's really nice seeing Kamala's great grand mother's stories, and see the actual origin of Kamala's powers, however the story is going everywhere, and the transitions feel very weird and abrupt. There's also Kamala's time-travelling issue. It is a possibility that time travelling is different due to access to different dimensions, however, this is not explained clearly and may seem to contradict the time travelling in End Game and is quite confusing.

This is the worst episode in the series, but its rating is still somehow better than overall rating of the show, which is just clear evidence of the presence of 1-star bombing from those that didn't even watch the show.

Normally I hate it when studios meddle with actual history for plot, but this was well done.. The creators actually researched about the scenario during the Indo-Pak division and did it in a heart-wrenching way. Most actors in the show did a decent job but I gotta give a shoutout to Ms. Zenobia Shroff who played as Kamala's Mom did a phenomenal job of portraying a typical Indian Mother(not stereotypical). Also as an Indian, I felt it was so heart warming to see that they pictured the actual fact that the people of the two countries are brothers and they actually do love each other(and instigators(inside ones and outside ones) were the ones who brought all the hatred for their selfish reasons). Overall a decent watch, the storyline is okay but the Desi representation is perr-fecct!(I can personally vouch for that)

7/10(+2 for doing so many things right that normal movies don't do for Desi representation).. Oh and some real funny lines too lol.

Kamala goes back in time to The Great Partition.

This is a solid episode with some good storytelling and backstory.

We find out some interesting Khan family history with some memorable scenes set during the Partition. The leads up to some nice moments connecting the past and present very well.

The cinematography, editing and production design is excellent, telling the story visually and giving a good sense of the period. All the sequences set around the train as people are fleeing India to Pakistan is well made.

Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat both look and play their parts well. Iman Vellani and Zenobia Shroff are great as always.

For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
