Awake: Crashing Into the Sliding Doors

Michael was able to walk down divergent "what if?" paths this week when a figure from his past popped up in both realities.

Good episode, but..

7.5

This episode didn't really do much for me. I found myself trying to stay "Awake". As the other reviewer stated, this episode did have the feel of 2 different realities. The cases Michael was working are as different as night and day, except for the fact that the "tie-in" to both was Rex's old babysitter. She was an investment banker in one reality and a down and out in the other reality. In her life though, she takes her sister's death's to two different places. As the investment banker, she takes her sister's death and embraces it and does something with her life. In the other, she takes her sister's death extremely harder and seems to dwell on it, thereby bringing her down. Good message underneath it all as an episode, just don't give up on the episode to early.moreless

Good Episode, Great Message

8.0

By pedroman01, Mar 23, 2012

I enjoyed this episode a lot, but for some reason I didn't feel as crazy about it as the rest of the series. It wasn't that it was bad it was great, but I just wasn't saying WOW at the end like I had been before. That being said, I have a feeling that even a bad episode of Awake will be amazing. The thing that annoyed me the most was that they dragged out the tennis thing way too much. Was it just me or was it obvious from the opening scene that the reason Rex was so mad was that it was his mother's racket? At the end they made it seem like no one was suppose to know. Outside of that, I liked that the cases were completely separate outside of Kate and didn't crossover so much that you start forgetting which case is which. The cases themselves weren't all that interesting, which is possibly why I didn't think this episode was as good. I liked the message of the episode and how much it showed what Michael has been going through. Two lives each with different results and different emotions attached to it.moreless

- Bird: So, how's it going with Rex?
  Michael: I don't know. I can't get a word out of him. Can't even get an opening.
  Bird: Don't you find that ironic? I mean, here you are, this big-time detective, you can get killers to turn, but you can't get two words from your own kid.

- Kate: She just wouldn't let me be. I don't know how my mom did it. I mean, she was just as sand art as I was. Somehow she had the strength to not only stay on her feet, but to get me back on mine. And she must have tried a thousand times to get me back into my life, and I just kept saying no. I guess I'm lucky that she was willing to try a thousand and one.

NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- Starting with this episode, there is an opening montage. They have clips from the first episode and also slowly reveal the letters "AWAKE." The names of the stars do not appear until the first scene after that.
