Ball of Magic Fire

Wow. What a total derailment of a show in the 2nd season after such promise. Another episode and still more mystery and guessing. Unfinished plots everywhere. The girl who came back who killed her brother is unwatchable and possibly one of the worst actresses I've ever seen. Now it's giant killer locusts flying around killing people or not killing people ? I don't know where to start with this convoluted mess of a season. I think that weird nursery rhyme about it comes for 3 has to do with those locusts who killed the annoying guy who was pissing everybody off. The guys wife who was in bed and now it's either the daughter or the drug addict girl who will be the 3rd one ?? Those "silver bile bullets" lol. Guess those were another dead end. The music came on the radio signal which stopped the creatures who we still know less about than the very first episode. Why, what, when, all questions still a total mystery. I'd say that was good if we had an inkling as to a reason in 18 episodes. Let's just say the finale better be some of the best television I've seen to save this titanic of a show.. lastly, the writers are the ones from Lost and I didn't know that until recently. We all shoulda known from that and saved ourselves in the beginning from this nonsense. The budget must have been under a million dollars for this because the acting and filming location etc.. are nothing special to be nice. I'm now curious as to how badly they will polish this turd off. What a disappointment!!

This ep. Starts off pretty good. Starts off with a death. Of course it's one of the bus people. Since we know they're all mostly fodder. Mostly. +1 Star.

Attitude gets a little bit carried away. And he tosses away keys to the van. Now...I thought that was stupid, because any of 3 people could have seen where they landed and just got them right away. -1 Star.

Que Sera Sera.

Sara tries to have a conversation with Kenny. And the annoying kid strikes again during a conversation at the Colony House.

In the van, the group seems way more confident than they used to be about having the curtains open and looking out at the THINGS after Dark. And Mari has an episode in front of Kristi. And the van people are hit with a dark turn and decide to make a break for it. Boyd again firing his gun uselessly at the Things. Then he sees his wife. How did Donna get the van going if they didn't have the keys? Dumb -1 Star

And Attitude is making a run for it. Oh no, CICADAS!!! Those CGI Cicadas surely would have made a decent meal when they were crawling down his throat. -1 Star

Okay Sara gets out Boyds extra gun and plays a little Russian Roulette. I like that ! +1 Star. And then it appears the imaginary cicadas are coming for three people and Julie is going to the third!

Really not impressed. 3/10.

Yep, Bugs, bugs is the next randomly generated eeeekkk moment that came up in this shows list of what can we crowbar into the relentless aimless dialog and pointless dramas they run their overlarge cast through in order to capture our viewing time until we abandon the show and they get canceled, which couldn't be too soon.

So we're supposed to believe the characters are hallucinating being covered by locusts, a bug that doesn't exactly bite and you can just brush them off, and they're terrified, that it is the worst thing in a relatively lacklust list of scares and threats that don't make any sense. Yep, it's as lame as it sounds.

(Shortened summary in the bottom of the review)

The momentum of action since episode 6 keeps going with since 9th episode doing a great job at raising the stakes even higher and make it feel like that no one is safe. Sometimes this episode could be little all over the place, but other than that its actually not a bad episode, but actually something that is exciting to watch anyways.

You should watch this episode too, it has some important answers that you cant miss.

(9.7/10)

Shortened summary: The stakes are at there highest, people are dying and questions are slowly getting answered, giving us even more questions from the answers.

I think they are dead. They died as result of road traffic crashes.

There is no bad people to kill other people. Sara Myers isn't a criminal. She has killed people due to disperation but she isn't a cold blood criminal.

Maybe they are in the purgatory. A purgatory created specially for the drivers.

There are many clues which supports this hypothesis:

1. They aren't trying to escape from the city.

2. They have hallucinations.

3. The monsters can't be killed with a gun.

4. Main road is a circle.

5. There are conflicts with the laws of physics.

6. The weather does not change.

7. People don't get sick.

I think the people which are leaving here bad reviews don't understand what means a mystery movie. Them are prefering Supergirl where anything is clear ))
