First off, I just want say that I’m glad that the series feels like it is back to normalcy. With episode 4 feeling out of place from episode 3 with us just being thrown into it and episode 5 being about the past, the series feels linear once more like I said. Anyways, the Sentinels although feeling out of place in the office setting, is the first primal threat in the show and are well executed. The thought of being paralyzed by something where you can only sit there and wait to inevitably die is terrifying. Something that irritated me is that Alice and Beau, two especially unique characters introduced in the show were both killed in the same episode, not allowing them to have anymore character development. I’m also annoyed because Alice is one of my new favorite characters in the show now with her eccentric personality and unique design. I don’t know if I was the only one to notice this, but Alice’s appearance looks like it might be a reference to the wendigo Di, from “Let’s Split Up”; one of Liam Vickers previous works.
The last thing I have to say is that I think V’s sacrifice was unnecessary. I feel like she could of just gone into the elevator with them but instead they had her look like she died just to add a dramatic cliffhanger when she is clearly a community favorite.
