I don't think any characters death can save this show now. Seems like a dead show walking, and the ratings tank seems to agree. Too bad, as the first half of season 1 had such potential. Once it came back from hiatus, they took the story and drove it off the rails at light speed.
I love stories with supernatural elements that explore "life extension" in relation to purpose or existence and identity, so I'm very delighted with this and would expect nothing less from Bad Robot, as life extension is a common theme with them.
It's not the "back from the dead" element I object to so much as how it was set up. Aaron was dead for 2.5 hours, he should be dead. If they want to go the way of the nanites protecting Aaron, which is how I think this is going, I'd have been OK with the Doctor working to save Aaron's life, saying he's lost too much blood etc. Then show Aaron start to heal like they showed with Rachel's leg. SHOW the "miraculous" process that Cynthia is going on about; show Gene's reaction to the impossible rapid healing.
But dead for 2.5 hours? Brain damage should have set in, cells should have started to decay. That's the part I'm having a difficult time with.
Well, that and I've never been a big fan of Aaron's so wouldn't mind if we saw the last of him.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I think is about Aaron maybe.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! It could span out to characters who maybe are also "wanted" dead by other characters...Let's hope nobody good actually dies in this one.
ReplyDeleteProbably,cant wait tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll actually die and stay dead this time. I'm not a fan of this back from the dead story line of Aaron's. Dead = Dead in my book.
