2.12 Fallen Light
I’ve complained for a while that this show has the attention span of a drugged narcoleptic, but Fallen Light takes the tendency to spiral away from the central storytelling to new extremes.
It also continues to delude itself that viewers care about these characters, their supposed relationships and dubious motivations. This episode just about erased the last vestiges of my interest in any of their personalities, and next week I’d be rooting for the Master, if he actually can be bothered to make a rare appearance.
It starts incomprehensively by taking us back ten years to the point where Ephraim had a really bad hairpiece, presumably for some contractual obligation to Sean Astin, who returns as the affable, but now very dead and therefore irrelevant Jim Kent.
