'Reverie', Bond - June 7

‘Reverie’ continues with its second episode. And?

And ‘Bond. Jane Bond’ episode seems to be setting at least one of themes of the series: ordinary people go into the dream world, and become someone extraordinary – a spy, in this episode, or given the spoilers for the next week’s episode, a bank robber. I.e., they are turned inside out, just as the framework did to people in AoS. Could ‘Reverie’ be more like AoS if it tried?

And try it does. To be interesting, that is. There’s Charlie, who’s friends with Monica, who is in cahoots with him to sell the Reverie to the Defense Department. And there is Alexis, whose closest friend is Dylan the A.I., who is based on her long-dead twin brother. And there’s Mara herself, who’s being now clearly haunted, (it verges on trolling, really), by her dead niece. This is very exciting…thanks to the actors’ acting and the background, CGI’d or not. The script itself is rather lukewarm – at least for now, the crew of ‘Reverie’ are playing it safe. Anything else?

Marvel’s ‘Cloak and Dagger’ premieres this week too, so this is going to be exciting…unless you are on team Marvel, who are downplaying them. ‘Runaways’ got a comic-book reboot, ‘Avengers’ and ‘Deadpool’ are enjoying a surge, even ‘Black Panther’ is going strong, but ‘Cloak and Dagger’ show not a peep. Weird, since they did appear in the comics once before, in the ‘Runaways’, for example, where they tried to rescue Molly, since they assumed that the rest of the Runaways had kidnapped her…but in the TV-version of ‘Runaways’, the teens are wanted in connection to the death of a young lady named Destiny instead, so we’ll have to wait for their S2 to see as to what will happen and who’ll come up, plus it is probably too early for them to crossover with ‘Cloak & Dagger’ Arrowverse style, but we will see. ‘Cloak & Dagger’ need to get through their own S1 first. There is already plenty of excitement, but again, we will just have to wait and see as to what will develop next.

…I guess that we will talk later for real, so for now – see you in the future. And as for ‘Reverie’? Good luck to it all the same – it is a decent show and promises us many good things to come, unless it gets cancelled, as APB and ‘Deception’ had. Here is hope to it in the future, too.
