Come on.
Really, guys, come on.
I mean, I can see how this series has an audience. There are juicy bouncy bits all over the place, and the half-baked modern pop supernatural mythology does have a fan base.
But 10? The climax of the whole episode is a big Deus ex Machina, the final revelation comes from nowhere and characters change sides for no reason whatsoever.
The main character is so stupid that can't think to text her husband when her cel connection drops, which would have solved the issue. And I was only thinking about that because I couldn't care less about the fate of the kids she was supposed to protect. Maybe because they didn't have any dialogue, but rather a series of statements of their problems which were completely out of character.
But, hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's a 10.
The problem with reader reviews is they're made by fans for fans. How this got 10s and Lost's last few seasons received complaints from fans I honestly can't understand. Let's at least acknowledge care and production values, even if we're in denial about the merits of the product. Let's at least stay around 9.5 instead of claiming the episode is a perfect gem of storytelling. It is not.
