The Day That Wasn't

That pretty much sums it up...It starts pretty slow, but its a fun, well done show by the end

This episode had some really awesome character development moments, which made that ending even more rude. While great acting and cinematography and a few deceptive hints, this episode was just filler.

This isn't really a spoiler when the episode title already spoilt it for you.

There were great character developments and suspense in this episode. We've got backstory of The Commission, of Klaus, of Allison and Luther, even of Hazel and Cha Cha. Vanya even got close to discovering... and yet this episode is called "The Day That Wasn't". I will pretend that this episode is real and give it a 9/10 for the solid story telling. Pretty much the best episode in this series.

Despite not being a fan of the comic books, I watched the entirety of the 1st season of The Umbrella Academy and so far it got me hooked. It had a great premise (a comedic version of X-Men), great comedy and good drama, great acting from everyone involved, the action's pretty cool, and the music score's good too.

The first two episodes weren't exactly perfect, but were still good enough. Episode 3 and the rest, however, is where it got even better and The Day That Wasn't is arguably one of the best episodes. Aside from some pacing issues, everything else is great. It has a lot more suspense, it delivers some neat back-stories that not only flesh out Klaus, Allison, and Luther, but also fleshes out Cha Cha and The Commission. Even Vanya is as interesting as the others.

The story still intrigues me as it continues to deliver thought-provoking writing and it's great blend of comedy and drama. The acting is still great with Aidan Gallagher, Robert Sheehan, and Mary J. Bilge delivering some of the best performances in the whole episode. The characters are still wonderful with Klaus continuing to steal the show, the cinematography and costumes are still well made, and the music score is still good.

Overall, another great episode and one of the best of the promising 1st season. :)

If you ever had doubts in your perception that this is a horrible, horrible show with an adolescent writing about Daddy issues and Mommy problems with unrelated "siblings" having unrequited love because Fun Time is only Saturday from 12 noon to 12:15, this show will confirm all suspicions you may have had.

Yes, it is as bad as all that. And WORSE!

In fact, the show is so bad that at the last minute the "writer" throws the reset button, everything is rewound to the whispered words "We died".

I think it was done so that they could have an edgy title "The Day that Wasn't" with a follow-up "The Day that Was". I guess they'll have a show called "That Was The Week That Was" and show events from the last week.

But better yet, THE ORVILLE is on tonight! It's rated A for Awesome!
