Masters of our fate, we are not.
Quasi-Impressions:
Your premise and characters are undermined juuuust a bit when the big baddies show up at the door wanting to go on a date and everybody simply goes right along with it. Not even kicking and screaming like they’d been forced to. Smash cut to sampling parfaits. And trying on clothes. And taking selfies. At most, they announce in a yell that what they’re doing doesn’t make sense, and yet, they’re doing it anyway without a single thought to exert any control or influence over the situation. This is why you’re terrible characters and this story has been awful. Nobody is even trying to change their fate. They’re all just going along with whatever happens, even while nothing is actually happening, and nothing actually matters. Even the big horrible ‘reveal’ at the end of last week is barely more than a quick aside at the start of the episode and then completely abandoned and forgotten. For all the wangsting about, it didn’t amount to anything.
We’ll see how I feel in a week when I’m on vacation with hopefully nothing to do, close proximity to likely screaming childen notwithstanding, but this is pretty likely the last I want to deal with this disappointment of a show. And I don’t have high hopes for Turkey either unless they actually stab someone again. And even then, it’s iffy.
