This week during the quest for answers, Cloak & Dagger decided to go onto an endless loop in other to find out more pieces of Tandy`s story. And while this episode screamed filler all over the hour it did work on the relationship between the two leads, dig deeper into their emotional damage and set up the stage for some big answers.
One thing what was really great about this episode were the fight scenes. The simply fact that Tandy and Tyrone weren`t kick a_s fighters and struggled to survive on the rig was done perfectly. Yes, they worked though it a bit too easy but this approach was very good for two struggling and uprising Heroes-to-be. It showed that they gained control over their abbilities and are on a good path.
But even before this moment, the interactions between the two of them this week were simply captivating. Very engaging, very well written and unforced from the first to last second. Having such heavy topics handled with them catching 90% of the screen time has to be executed well to avoid redundant and stale moments. The episode had a very good pace and progress throughout. This type of episodes are very tricky but if done properly very good Television.
Getting into the cathatonic head of Mr. Hess was a smart move from the writers. The interaction with him and the duo were strong written with a strong performance by Tim Kang, whose clueless Mr Hess was entertaining to watch but with the right dose of dramatic and seriousness. The question is now, will his resurrection deliver some story progression or will he just be part of this filler.
Special kudos to the team who executed this episode, the explosions, CGI effects and general vibe this episode transferred on screen was intimidating adn as realistica as possible for the situation.
With only 3 episodes left the writers have a lot of work to do in covering all their open threads. What will go down between Connors and O`Reilly? And will Connors finally get face to face with Tyrone? Will Tandy clear her fathers name or will she loose herself trying? Sound of in the comment section and tell me what you thought of "Lotus Eathers" and what will go down in the remaining episodes.
Every day 100's of items are submitted to us and we don't always have the time to make separate posts for the news and/or there is so much that it would quickly push all other items off the homepage.
So a result we've come up with the idea of the Newsreel, which will feature smaller shows and news items as they happen.
There will be a new Newsreel each day, and as news is added we will update the post and and push it back to the top of the site so that you can see that new items have been added. A tweet of the item will also be sent to our @SpoilerTV account.
New Items will be listed at the top of the article.
This will allow us to provide more news on more shows in a much more timely fashion
