(I haven't seen last night's episode yet, so my opinion may change in a few hours.) <br /><br />But I agree, Billie. This was a very good episode, but the lack of logic and the ongoing issues with the story structure are becoming harder and harder for me to look past. I think I'm becoming a little less forgiving as time goes on. I still look forward to every episode, I just want the show to do better. There's just so much potential here, but they're not quite reaching it.

Maybe it was the extended Olivia and Lem fight, that I swear made me think of Buffy and Angel. (That pale blue shirt went with his electric eyes. He's amazing to look at, and I think Lem is a much better character than the one Peter Mensah played on <i>Sleepy Hollow</i> awhile back.) <br /><br />I was really touched by Xylda saying goodbye to Manfred, too. I'd gotten the impression that she had lied to him about being tied to the RV, that she had just stuck around until he had accepted his role fighting evil in Midnight. And his ride in the truck with all of the faceless bodies creeped me out, which was another first for me with this show.<br /><br />I'm not certain that they've done a good enough job establishing this series for it to be renewed. They've got some good actors here playing interesting characters in an unusual setting, but they need to do soooooo much better story-wise. All of which you also said, Fangirl. :)<br /> Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
