Episode 9: Downtown L.A.
Not gonna lie, this episode was a whole lotta nothing.
Does the plot get advanced in any major way? Not really. Is there any big character developments or atleast some nice interactions? Nope.
Eleanor decides to take the deal of joining Wraith in exchange for releasing the other Reflected(which, funnily enough, Steel Ruler outright admits is a trap), and the government attempts to tail them in the most obvious way ever.
As such, the entire first half of the episode is dedicated to a car chase which, when you're involving people with superpowers, you'd think could be really cool, but unfortunately the show's' more subdued style really doesn't lend itself to a super exciting chase sequence.
The feds fail in keeping track of Eleanor, and so they decide to arrest Team X-On(for some reason), and it's here we learn that the government calls those who inhaled the smoke "Dark Reflected" and those bathed in the light "Brightstar Reflected." Wraith then begins to psychically call out to all Dark Reflected, causing Vy to run after him, thus providing a lead as to where Eleanor is.
This catches the attention of Ian, whose car we learn has an AI in it, so I guess he's also Night Rider now. Oh, and the idol group we've been following throughout the show is also now in America, so they're finally about to get fully involved in the plot. And... and that's literally the entire episode, really. Some meandering and pedantic talk aside, that's it. It really is the type of episode that could've been like six minutes instead of the full 22.
So uh, not great! I guess all I can do is end this post off with my usual music showcase. So this time I'm gonna go with "My Daily Life" which plays whenever the idols are the focus of a scene.
Atleast things are going to pick up from here on out.
