    9.4 Underrated

    I may be exaggerating, but this episode is without a doubt one of my favorite episodes in this series.

    The fact that it got such a low rating compared to much worse episodes like Guy vs. Guy worries me a bit.

    This episode evolves our characters from Rex to Agent Six and even adds some information about the world of nanites and more great details.

    Good start Good ending Great animation Excellent story Everything is good Why is this episode so low rated? I don't really know but it's an excellent episode.

    It may be a strange case of differing opinions, but from a personal perspective, this episode is almost perfect.

    The morally driven Rex is shown.

    After the first episode established the premise and introduced the main cast, we get another episode with Rex taking the spotlight with his at times tense relationship with the management and their procedures when running Providence.

    When they see E. V. O.'s they see a threat to humanity while Rex sees a person whose life is ruined by the unstable nanites, and therefore when Providence is informed that a rogue E. V. O. Is building up an army of zombie-like E. V. O.'s they order Lower Manhattan evacuated so that it can be cleansed of the threat.

    Meanwhile Rex observes subtle signals from this E. V. O. Leader publicly known as Peter Meechum is sesrching for a loved one who has been taken from him, and therefore he goes against Providence procedures to save the person behind the monster.

    Great character dynamics between Rex, Agent Six and the big leader of Providence, White Knight, in this episode which hints at more of that to come.

    Great movie

    This Generator Rex episode 2 "String Theory" has the Wilhelm Scream. You can hear the Wilhelm Scream when a man is thrown off a bridge. The Wilhelm scream was created by Sheb Wooley and first heard in the movie Distant Drums. Sheb Wooley was an actor who appeared in the television series Rawhide and played a cowhand named Pete. He also sang the song Purple People Eater. The Wilhelm scream has been used by many other movie producers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Other television programs that have used the Wilhelm scream are Star Wars Clone Wars, Middle Man, Primeval, Angel Season III and V, Battlestar Galactica, and Lost.

    Good level episode

    Good level episode The episode achieved great performance in the continuation of the events in a funny way at moments and dramatically in other moments, also Wilhelm's scream was wonderful and will continue with us on the show and as usual, Van kliess and his music for one second attracted the entire episode.
