Okay, so I forgot to pay the hotel’s electric bill and it was cut off. Not really, but it does seem like I’ve been gone for a month or so. I did read three G&C episodes in that time, but didn’t review anything. I guess the holidays just make me lazy. Good thing they are almost over. Okay, so I’m back to DSR. I’m afraid my memory on what happened in episode two was a little hazy, so good thing I have my own reviews. That being said, this series is just getting better and better. This episode was brilliant start to finish. Not to mention that this episode fully cemented Ethan as my favorite character.
Teaser: I think this helps me explain how much I liked the teaser of this episode - Mind Control = Coolest supernatural ability 4evah!1!!!11!! I know it’s only the third episode, but it’s my favorite opening so far. It’s obvious this will be an Ethan episode. Coolness.
Ethan: I felt so sorry for him throughout the entire episode. I did think that him going out to save his friend without first going to Kendall was a bit odd, and not anyway like how I was visualizing the character, but I looked past it. You did it last episode, and now you did it again. Just built up little mysterious to the character. I love that.
Baddie: Falen is gone. I really thought this was one of this characters, like the one in 1.02, that you would keep around, but I suppose he is just too powerful. Like I said before, I loved the ability he had. The fact that you choose to couple him with Ethan was brilliant – the most uptight characters losing his mind.
Jai VS Ethan: I hope Ethan wins!!! Honestly, though, I am really enjoying how the storyline is developing. The fact that Jai doesn’t trust Ethan, leads me to believe that he will one day be proved right. I don’t get the feeling that their rivalry will ever change. At first, I thought this was going to be a mild rivalry where there would be a lot of brooding looks and inner-office mischief, but I can this is something way bigger. Jai is the leader and lead, so if something does happen, I expect it will be on Ethan’s part. He does have that Carson partnership from last episode, which seemed to have disappeared in this one. It’s understandable though, which so much going on.
Overall, this episode was perfection from start to finish. One thing I think you did last episode, that you failed to do so in this one, was develop other stories outside of the main one. Apart from Carson’s little mystery, everything was Ethan focused. Not a complaint really, as I enjoyed this episode more than the last, but I’m still wondering about Mia, the Ahnenerbe, and the explanation on Kendall’s blind trust! Don’t think I forgot about that lost one! Although, props on turning it off for this one.
