Well.
This episode was ok. Not great, but ok. It was actually pretty exciting when they were crawling underground searching for the vampire. To bad the bad guy turned out to be a total wimp at the end. Such an anticlimax.
And the kids. They were pretty good actors (as opposed to those in the captain iron episode, those had me cringe!) But the kids in the episode. I found their religious nut stuff tiresome and unbelievable. Kids don’t act that way. They are much more natural when it comes to the supernatural. You have to go to grownups to find that kind of wacky stuff.
Yeah.. Concerning the supposed religious references. Take it from me, a theology student. Those references weren’t worth a rats as. It was just religious techno babble. Nothing coherent or interesting. If they had wanted some cool references, I could have done them 10 times as good.
But otherwise, except from the critic above. I found the episode worth the 40 minutes. I was thinking about this "the one" business. If anyone of you watch Dark Angel, Max is also starting to turn into some kind of "the one". A genetic "the one" in her case, but there are religious overtones to that too. But what it is in our thinking and society today that brings out that kind of fascination with “holy the one” characters, that is a debate for another time.
Sleep tight.
