Improvement, Maybe?
I haven't really been enjoying this season. It has been confusing to me, with all the muddled up stories. After this episode, I increased my rating from 5 to 6 - not that much better, but it is still maintaining my interest.
But there were a few little things that spoiled it for me. For example, there was a line in the previous episode when the Doc asked Swarm "What do you want?" to which he replied, "All in good time..." I don't know if that was a pun or not, but I found it to be weak. The same question was asked again in this episode, and the reply was that he wanted to "reign in hell". Really? Hell? That one line annoyed me so much and I am not sure why. Maybe it's because I was thinking of the "Satan Pit" episode, which so cleverly handled the subjects of Satan, hell, etc.
And maybe it's just me, but the Bel character's narration gave me (unpleasant) flashbacks to Clara. I guess her love story was okay, but a bit too soppy for my liking. Dan's love story not so much.
Anyway, next week's episode looks like it might be interesting. Who knows? Maybe my rating will increase again.
