Well this was uneventful. Not boring, just uneventful. Well, kinda boring. I really liked this episode almost as much as last episode, but there was something about this episode that just wasn't as captivating as the previous one, or even the other 5.
The characters were great anyways. Most of them. I liked how we got to learn about all of the new kids and their personalities, since last episode didn't really flesh them out. Adam was pretty..."meh" for this episode, and I now think Mira is actually my least favourite of the three main characters. She adds almost NOTHING to the group, at least in my opinion. Kai here was actually pretty great. I really enjoyed watching how he was going to deal with his friends missing, and what to do next. But Dave...you know by now what I think of characters like him.
Oh, and there was this really strange part where Mira just kissed Adam! Like, why? This is never spoken of again, and it feels like the writers did this just to make a cliche dramatic scene. Plus, there was almost NO buildup to this. The most they did was that weird "That's not my shoulder" thing in episode 2.
Overall, the episode was pretty uninteresting. Fine, just uninteresting. The writers tried to add drama that only ended up feeling like wasted time and to me the ending to this episode was probably the only part with actual suspense...and that got my interest. Nevertheless, I'm still gonna watch this show to the end.
But really, a video game?? Not even, like, a simulation or anything, just a video game?
Rating: 7.5/10
