Featured reviews
While the heavy focus on VR may not be good to all viewers, the writers try to advance the plot through each level of the game with purpose and a reasons adds depth to the storyline itself.
As the episode is the real start of knowing the "aliens", the true meaning of the series begins to come into life.
Overall, this episode delivers a focused and compelling plots that try to explain some things in the series. Of course not mentioning the plot holes the episode succeeds in keeping us engaged and waiting to watch more!
Ok, so I enjoyed the first two episodes, but can't say I fully got what was going on, but this third one, wowsers, this actually blew me away, I think that this is the point where the series has me totally hooked.
The story by this point becomes clear, it all comes together, from the game play, to the deaths of the scientists, even that message from China. I was struggling a little to piece it together.
Incredibly good visuals, the special effects were terrific, easy to see this was a labour of love for the production team.
Why does it always happen, a character that starts off in an incredibly irritating manner, then wins you over, and just as you start to like them, Game Over.
Blew me away.
10/10.

- Quotes
Sophon: But why is one afraid while the other is not? Do individuals experience fear on their own?
Mike Evans: It's an individual emotion, yes.
Sophon: For us, fear is something we experience as one.
Mike Evans: Our ancestors were like that.
Sophon: Tiny mammals who survived by hiding. But it appears you have ceased to be afraid.
Mike Evans: Why do you say that?
Sophon: You contacted another planet. Is this the act of a timid species?
Mike Evans: Not a species. No, my Lord. A woman. A singular, fearless woman.
Sophon: Are there other fearless humans?
Mike Evans: Well, they show up from time to time. And we often look up to them as inspirations for others to follow.
Sophon: A lack of fear leads to extinction. If your ancestors had followed the fearless, you would not exist. Humanity must learn to fear again.
Mike Evans: Then we will teach them.
