Pas de Deux

After a few episodes that felt like they were simply marking time, Season 2 Episode 6 of From comes with renewed energy and captivating developments. This episode not only injects a much-needed sense of urgency into the storyline but also introduces an exciting new plotline that promises to take the series to thrilling new heights and embracing its true potential.

I dont know if the people that reviewed the episode have even watched it, feels like they are stuck on episode 5 which in all fairness was their weakest episode so far. I hope they can go into more detail about the place and shine some light on it in the last 4 episodes.

Mr. Harold Perrineau just shines in this episode. His stage persona and screen persona are equally dazzling..but it's a true delight to catch those moments of raw stage presence break through on the small screen. He is BRILLIANT. He evokes tragedy, humor, anger and love in a single episode and it seems to be effortless for him. He a powerful force on this cast and is the glue of the series.

Separately, this episode featured some excellent, creative writing and some gems of a performance by the supporting cast. I had to watch some of this one through my fingers since I was covering my eyes..what a rollercoaster!

Like a previous reviewer said - I keep asking questions and that is a beautiful thing! FROM is keeping me on my toes and I love it!

This episode was definitely an upgrade to the past few episodes for sure, but by no means saved the season. We need much more revelations and good reasons as to why the group is there and the whole deal with the creatures. It was a pretty good step in the right direction at least with the whole Boyd blood transfer to the creature. That looks like it was a peak into something about maybe how they can kill the creatures or something along those lines. Still though it hops around the same boring storylines way to much. I think we now need to find out a solid reason as to why they are all there, or at least a morsel of something that's going to lead into the rest of the season as to why. There's obviously someone watching because of that radio transmission, but that was final episode of last season for gods sake. Since then we literally have radio silence about any answers. Where did Boyd go and what are these alternate type realities they jump in and out of in the tree or caves around the town. So although the final 15 minutes were at least entertaining, it simply is t enough. They need to really ramp up the plot lines and answer questions. Like I said about yellowjackets show. I think this show wasn't intended to be so popular and get a season 2 , and I think they just threw together something for a season and what we get is a mixed bag of and shoddy plot development. Just seems like a ton of filler mixed in with portions that are relevant to the story. Simply put, they were not totally prepared and didn't have much time to make a solid season 2. Just a theory on that though.

This episode felt like a return to form but the remnants of poor writing persist from the past few episodes.

This is what should've happened two episodes ago, the past two episodes besides a few key bits within them, were a complete and utter waste of time that served no purpose besides to be boring filler reminiscent of writing you would expect from CW production.

I'm glad that it seems like main characters from Season 1 are still the focus and not the new redundant characters. Only time will tell if the writers continue in this direction.

Considering the show is produced by the same people behind "Lost", you would think they'd have mastered how to keep the audience engaged. The only times this expertise is shown, is when both Harold Perrineau or Elizabeth Saunders are on screen, they literally command your attention, that's how good their acting and presence is.

Furthermore, it would seem like the best episodes are the ones that expand the plot, the ones that meander around irrelevant subplots are super boring.

Harold Perrineau is front and center in this episode and that's a really good thing. I just love his acting. As Sheriff Boyd he has his plate full with troubles old and new. Can he deal with it? Watch and find out, it's going to be intense.

This episode has thankfully cut down on the fluff. When there's drama it drives the story forward. Some other actors seem to be getting much needed increased direction this time around. Overall I'm very satisfied with this episode and hope this course will stick for the rest of the season. I prefer when shows stick to their guns and subplots do not supplant the dramatic theme.

A good job by everyone involved. I'm looking forward again to see what this show has to offer.
