Trilogy - An Interesting Idea Done Wrong

[bbanzai88 · 6/10 · 13 August 2022]

*Spoilers*

The Trilogy idea was interesting to start. The first episode starts off with a bit of an eerie mystery surrounding a young girl, Sam's 'daughter'. Did she kill another woman's daughter and later, the woman's husband?

Sadly, the first episode ends with Sam leaping out, causing the death of the girl's father. He then leaps back into her life years later as her lover, which is...uncomfortable. After knowing her at this later stage in her life for about half a day, Sam becomes obsessed with the girl (again, who was his daughter just a few hours earlier) and confesses he can't think of anything else but being with her.

Trilogy picks up steam as it runs downhill and off a cliff in the third part. Here, Sam jumps into the girl's life a third time as an old lawyer who protected her earlier. We get a ridiculous court room melodrama with 'surprises' we guessed at in the first few minutes and unexplained/unexplored witchcraft/magic. Finally, we find out Sam is somehow the actual genetic father of his former love interest's daughter. It's all so cringeworthy. Six stars feel extremely generous.

Swiss Cheese

Anyone else watching these getting tired of them saying "swiss cheese" in so many episodes? Someone should make a game where they guess how long it will be before the next time it's said. lol.

Anyway, as for this episode and the trilogy... the trilogy overall I would give as 7 or 8 to, but this episode was only ok and I personally was wishing Sam would reveal some truths to Abigail about his situation.

There is a fine line between scientific fantasy and bloody nonsense. This one is the latter

Sam occupying someone's body, and in that body Sam has sex with a woman, who gets pregnant, and then it is someone inheriting Sam's genetic material. There is a fine line between scientific fantasy and bloody nonsense. This one is the latter. I utterly hate it that it completely rewrote the timeline and this girl grew up to be part of Project Quantum Leap.

The End of a Trilogy - Thank Goodness

So for some bizarre reason Abagail Fuller has continued to live in the worst town in American. Leta Aider has finally met an end befitting her life but the fact that she never was in trouble for killing the Sheriff is just bad writing. Three episodes in the most terrifying small town around was 2 episodes too much. Espeically since all 3 episodes have basically the same plot.
