This episode gave moral dilemmas a back seat to straight up plot development. Some of it good, some of it a wee over the top. Oh Big Pharma, why are you always so evil? Oh plot, why are you sometimes so heavy handed? Which, unfortunately, was the case tonight with Anana and Major Balls. The two made their way back to the base, stopping to make camp for the night. Camp being a loose term for sleeping under some blankets, next to an electric heater without a tent. In the snow. In the Arctic. Come on SyFy, are you really telling me there was no money in the budget for a cold weather tent? Not one? The facility is dripping in lab equipment, surely a PA could have run to Goodwill and picked up a crappy used tent! As disappointed as I was with the Sutton/Major Balls elements of tonight’s episode, the Walker/Hatake storyline is still unfolding beautifully. Walker woke up on Level R, looking much improved from last week. While most of the outward symptoms of the virus have dissipated, she was still hallucinating her ex-boyfriend and experiencing excruciating pain in her now silver eyes. The telling moment happened when a vector who was about to attack sees Walker’s eyes and ran in the opposite direction, leaving her to wonder if she is the first actual survivor to recover from the virus. Despite all the work Hatake put in this week, the episode went a little off the rails. There were big reveals, but at the same time, there were some really wonky sequences. A little lull in a season is to be expected tho. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all news updates related to the world of geek. And Google+, if that’s your thing!
