Fathers & Sons

A good story. The actors and actresses you develop a bond and interest in their well being. The episode consisted of two scene which detract from the flow. You expect character to zig they zag and vice versa, you become accustomed throughout the season. A happy ending is not deserved and a character not paying a price are the biggest drawback. All and all an enjoyable episode that holds your interest from beginning to end.

I wasn't totally negative about this offering. It has some great characters. Joe, the blues singing grandpa, is played by Bill Cobbs, a great character actor. He is wonderful in this role. He loves his grandson, but his son sees his music as a waste of time. The father finds a fancy home for the aged and sticks the old man in there. We get to see a young woman whose grandmother went from a kind, loving person to a terrified Alzheimer's patient practically over night. The rules about visitation are incredibly strict. That is because the residents are being experimented on and something is being done with their memories. They are also kept in sort of coffins, piled up in a huge warehouse. They are brought out when they have visitors and then returned. The grandson also realizes that his harsh, almost abusive father is starting to act in a totally different way. He is determined to get to the bottom of this and enlists the help of his young friend. This is an incredibly interesting episode and I would have ranked it higher if there had been a little science to explain what was going on. Also, how do some many people work in this facility without something getting out. Still, I highly recommend this one.
