Psychic visions draw Eleven to a band of violent outcasts and an angry girl with a shadowy past.
This is basically X Men-Third class. Its entirely predictable, and executed poorly with boring new characters and weak direction. Millie Brown does the best she can, but what is up with the rest of the new cast? Its almost as if the show ventured into a cheap spin off, the character "Eight" is laughable at best, and the actress really pales in comparison with the main cast. She lacks any menacing presence, or vulnerability. Its a flat "green screen acting and monotone line deliver" performance. Worse, there is nothing interesting about the entire scenario. It feels inconsequential. A forced tie in just to create extra spin off scenarios.
The worst part is that it acts as a filler to what has been a mostly great season. It breaks any form of momentum we had from the previous cliffhanger just to forcibly give Eleven an episode of her own. Her character, and the show deserves better than this shoddy and generic story line.
