[Locke]

Just my thoughts on episode four tonight, as I plan on going for a run in the morning and I want to get an earlyish night with my book rather than plow through the three episodes. It didn't help that between gardening and job searching my wrap up of OOO and Fourze and their respective films took like a week, but that is another story.

Overall from an action standpoint episode four was awesome, the production values are extremely spotty, but for the most part the action is at least well directed and staged and very, very enjoyable.

From a character standpoint (which to me is just as important as action, maybe slightly less so in this genre but still I love good characters) however this show is weak, even with fancy gadgets and weapons our protagonists are absolutely useless, taking a back seat to everything but then Nexus who actually achieves things, is even more of a non character as all we ever see him do out of the suit is wander around a forest in a leather jacket.

I know, I know, TV shows aren't movies, but in this time a movie has told an entire story, this show has yet to even establish character beyond some of the cheapest forms of archetypal character skeletons.

Also nice men in black rip off at the end there.
