    What Just Happened?

    Did this become a different show? Stilted acting of bad, trite and phony dialogue and the visual splendor is gone. They're continuing one unfinished thread with the nightmare but the show is now without the tone or panache of the 1st 4 episodes and nuance of eps 5 and 6. They've apparently started a new story line midseason and it is shallow, phony and uninteresting to say the least. I'm at a loss for words. It's not the same show, it's become something from CBS in the 2000s with a few bad words, attempts at gore and badly written modern progressive characters.

    Wellllllll...

    Utterly brilliant show until this episode (and the next; haven't done the final two yet). Everything that has come before has been lovely. But now, we're getting distinctly sub-par performances and a script that changes enough of the original material as to be a poor substitute. I'm disappointed, but will continue.

    I will make a general observation that, by and large (and by no means universally), the British actors are much, much better than their American colleagues. Sorry, but it's just true. And it's not just the accent. There are some excellent US performances (for example, John Cameron Mitchell is quite good as Hal, Sarah Niles was excellent as Rosemary), but for the most part, they are simply outclassed.

    Also, Cape Canaveral has not been Cape Kennedy since 1973.

    Quality dialogue, and the delivery of, are lacking

    Either I was ignorant of particularly shoddy line delivery, or the written dialogue itself, in previous episodes or something is particularly off about this installment. Sometimes poor exposition can be covered up by amazing actors. That didn't happen here.

    One would hope this is just a temporary dip in the series and future episodes improve.

    Note: I hope no one who worked on the show reads this, as I assume they all tried their hardest. Or maybe they were dealt unfair hands by upper management and forced to compromise on quality in this particular episode for some reason.

    What is this?

    Episode 6 was amazing. Almost a standalone shortfilm. And then this happened? 7th Episode another new character get's introduced?! Why does this happen so late? Who wrote this?! I still have no idea where this show is moving... What is Morpheus Arc? Why does nearly every side char has more Screentime than him?

    Incoherent mess. Relentless forced identities

    As opposed to some earlier excellent episodes this one is just a minefield of confusion with discrepant characterizations. The writing is well below par. They seem far more concerned with grossly exaggerated ideological virtue signaling than trying to craft a coherent screenplay.

    Suddenly, the world is 80% black or mixed race and every romantic and sexual interest is LGBT etc.

    There's inclusion and then there's vast overrepresentation to the point of farce. It's almost funny. Neil Gaiman is a straight white male for God's sake. Apparently screen poison today. Unless depicted as inept or the villain.

    In Hollywoke at least.

    The opposite of inclusion is division and that's exactly what this is.

    If the story was consumable in any form it wouldn't be as bad.

    Actually no. It's still ludicrous.

    So many shows today adopt this approach. They hook you in with excellent opening episodes like Foundation and 1883 and then halfway through start forcing their mis-representative agendas to the fore in place of plot and story.

    Another series wasted.

    • Trivia
      When The Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook) is walking around Rose's apartment, he pauses at a photo of Judy (Daisy Head), who fell victim to John Dee's machinations in S1E5 ("24/7"). During that episode, Judy and Rose talk on the phone about Judy's missing girlfriend Donna.
    • Goofs
      This episode repeatedly refers to action taking place at Cape Kennedy, Florida. There has been no such place since 1973. Cape Canaveral was renammed Cape Kennedy upon the President's death in 1963 but only retained the name for ten years before reverting back to the original. The NASA launch facility officially known as Kennedy Space Center is on nearby Merritt Island.

      Merv Pumpkinhead: Oh. Any unusual behavior.

      Matthew the Raven: Said the pumpkin to the talking bird.
