Really like where the Empire plot is going.
Slow but it’s obviously setting things up for the future.
Episode after episode, this show is drowning into an useless chaos
What happened to this show.
Everything seems to connected by coincidences and magic.
The only thing that really bothers me is Sareth's acting and unnatural movements all the time. She makes weird movements with her shoulders and face, 'jumpy' like, it distracts, detracts and drives me mad. Such a waste, because she's beautiful and if she could just stop overacting and be natural, the performance would be better. Maybe she tried emulating Cercei from GOT or the editing, but it doesn't work. Sigh, can't wait for her to be written out.
I have very mixed feelings about this episode, the first part of it was a total flop, it as if it was some blue movie instead of a solid science-fiction, things got interesting when the storyline turned to Gaal, Salvor and Hari, and the part of the Empire subplot about the memory banks was also quite intriguing. It turns out it is possible to alter someone's memory so that they won't even know something's been changed, but apparently it is also possible to retrieve the memory from the Memorium. Day's been changing his brothers memories without their knowledge, but when they contact the original Cleon for help (a new element - they can "wake up" the original Cleon and ask him some questions), but he is not very supportive of Dawn and Dusk. As for Gaal, Salvor and Hari, their subplot is also fun to watch, as they are kidnapped by some people, one of whom impersonates Salvor's boyfriend Hugo. I must confess that at first I believed him just as Salvor did, his story about going into cryo just as Salvor did seemed plausible, and it would be nice to have the reunion of lovers. After they regain consciousness, it turns out that they are in some haven for people with telepathic abilities, and it seems like they finally found their own people among whom they would be understood as accepted; except at the end the leader of the telepaths claims she intends to prevent the Second Foundation from ever happening. So they are enemies after all?
As much as I love Lee Pace, I could care less about the Empire storyline. Like where is this even going.
So, we're on Ignis where the second foundation was planned to be.
And while Day and Dominion get closer, Dusk is making plans in the background. At least, there's some interesting tidbits there with the way Empire loses memories. (On the other hand, I wouldn't expect Empire to have many different memories if they're only stuck in their tower - of course the first one's going to have more since he founded the whole system, therefore had more interaction with others and simply more experience, supposedly.)
I hope this picks up speed soon, otherwise I'm going to use this show as a virtual sleeping pill...
