Deadfox, it's pretty bad until this latest one. I was almost ready to drop this show. Despite a great cast and excellent premise, the first six episodes are basically terrible. After 7, though, the show has a real chance at getting good. Anyway, you can get torrents of every episode. We don't have the show at all in Japan but I've seen every episode. Do people actually watch stuff on TV still? With commercials and everything? So weird.
That episode was just really good. Its like its stole the usual, "WTF! moment from Fringe this week and had 2. I wasn't sure what he was going to do, but when he gave Demetri the letter it made sense. And despite his methods, its seems at the edn he was right about being able to change the future.
Thinking about it a bit more, I have to say that the episode still wasn't exactly great. Much much better than any of the previous ones but not at all great.
I'm glad they're showing how seeing the future has changed people's lives and society in general but I don't exactly buy the whole 'death cult' thing. "Oh well, I'm gonna be dead in 6 months so I guess I'll just electrocute myself for fun." doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.
And Gough's actions based on his FF, while giving the show a much needed kick, don't really make much sense when you remember that he learned of the future like two months ago. Why is he only suddenly willing to take such drastic actions to change things? I guess the weakest point about this episode is that they failed to build up to it in previous episodes. Maybe it's that's not a fair criticism. But come on, there has been so much filler in previous eps, they could have been building up to this instead.
This episode ROCKED.
"Why is he only NOW suddenly willing to take such drastic actions to change things?"
you missed a word.
I think that the blue hand thing was a little weird, but it was also necessary for Agent Gough's jump to be believable. I dont think they built up to his jumping because he was struggling with how to deal with it and it wasnt until dealing with the hand cult that he figured out what to do. I also think he was debating the action because he really didnt want to die, but after reaching out to a few people in the episode and being turned down, i think he realized that everyone was stuck in predestination.
when that lady from london said no to dinner he must have realised that she knew that he would be there in six month and so what would it matter if she had dinner with him now or later, if she had any interest in him at all.
he concluded a few things from that incident and the blue hands.
1. everyone was going to let the future happen because they couldnt think outside of the visions enough to come up with a solution that would ultimately break them.
2. that everyone expected the visions to be an unchangeable reality, that no matter what they did they were going to end up the way thier vision was.
3. that because he was in someones vision in the future everyone expected him to be alive and therefore you didnt have to worry about him.
4. he had a very good reason to not want his vision to come true and so tried to come up with a way to stop it, and after having played russian roulette, what wasnt necessarily a good thing to do because that gun could have gone off, and realising that leaving things up to chance didnt work to change things, he decided that he needed a way that he knew he wouldnt survive to meet his destiny.
doing anything other than jumping off that building had a chance that something could go wrong and he wouldnt die and then might live to meet his destiny. or he might have hurt or killed someone else with any other method. jumping infront of a bus or something like that could have other consequences, so jumping off the building was his best solution.
Yeah, I get all that but I still would have liked to see him deal with this stuff up till now. Foreshadowing, you know? Well, maybe the writers are starting to get it so I'll try not to blame them too much for not getting it sooner.
You know what I was expecting though? That he would land on that lady and live but she'd be in the hospital on life support for a few months and nothing would change. Had that happened, I might have just given up on this show.

Does this show get better after the first 4 episodes? It's just started here in Australia and the last two episodes have had me almost screaming at the tv for something, anything to happen. If it doesn't improve in the next episode, I'm out.
