solitary_summerYesterday's MD episode... I don't know. After the emotional intensity of ep.7 it felt a bit anticlimactic to me, although it did have a lot of isolated strong character moments. I'm just not sure if it all really came together... Hm. Also, considering how completely I've already embarrassed myself with last week's post (*facepalm*), I made a resolution to stop speculating about future plot twists. Shouldn't be to hard to keep with only two more episodes to go, and will save me a lot of time that I don't really have anyway right now.
What's more, I'm starting to think I'm ruining the whole thing for myself with too specific expectations.
Still, though, why even introduce the religious angle, when you're not going to use it? Why create a religious character like Angelo, if his Catholicism apparently had no further impact on his storyline and immortality was all he wanted? Was that just a giant red herring? Damn it, I was so certain after the last episode that there was a connection to the religious side of the miracle, that that wasn't just trappings, but a genuine sentiment.
Or was that the memories of my brief teenage religious phase getting the better of me?
Have we really seen the last of Angelo? How much did his granddaughter really know? Was he as uninvolved in the miracle as this episode made it out to be? The alien technical field thingy was under his bed after all. Right. Resolution. Stopping now.
Also, I can't say I'm too worried about Jack right now, seeing as we still have two episodes to go, and more importantly, he's the only person who can fix the whole thing or even understands what is really happening... This is too much like Eleven getting shot right at the beginning of S6.
More when I find the time to rewatch...
