Firstly. Today’s talk will involve various spoilers, so quit
now…or read ahead. Okay?
Secondly, Marvel’s ‘InHumans’, S1, has arrived at the midway
point. And?
And if the first two episodes, (the double whammy, so to
speak) were something of an insipid, immature, or etc. waste of time, ‘Medusa’ did
not waste any time, (here I’m talking about the episode, not the character),
but rather it rushed and forced things – the plot, the dialogue, etc. The
adventures of Medusa and Louise, for example, felt forced, and also
abbreviated: it might’ve been better for them to bond, (just the two of them)
for two episodes, rather than one; as it was, their new friendship just doesn’t
feel genuine; the relationship of Black Bolt and Sammy came across as better
here, (no insult to Medusa or Louise intended)… SS (Medusa) and Ellen (Louise)
did the best that they could, but while the actors’ acting had, well, carried
the first two episodes of S1, this time they did not do such a good job, so - yeah.
Conversely, of course, if Medusa and Louise’s bonding felt
abrupt and rushed and forced, the relationship between Medusa’s sister Crystal,
(Isabelle) and Dave (Chad) feels worse; the presence of Dave’s ex-girlfriend
Audrey (Liv) doesn’t help the matter any either: Audrey and Crystal are played
by two different actresses, (i.e. Isabelle Cornish and Liv Hewson, duh!), but
they are almost never in the same shot together: were they filmed at different
times in RL or what? Minds want to know, you know!
(Lockjaw, of course, is adorable, and he is one of the
reasons why I am watching ‘InHumans’ in the first place, BTW. No problems with
Lockjaw, no sir!)
Therefore, the only plotline that delivered in a realistic,
believable and workable manner in this week’s episode is Karnak’s, who
apparently had sex with an Earth woman at the end of this week’s episode. (Um).
Unfortunately, the woman in question is also a cannabis farmer, an illegal one,
and her boss is somewhat crazy – he already killed another of their coworkers
and judging by the promo for the next week? He is going after Karnak and Karnak’s
new lady friend next. Not good…but from what I hear, Karnak is going to make it
at least to the sixth episode of this season, so…we will have to see.
Well, this is all I have for this week’s episode of ‘InHumans’
– see you next time!
