Too Far Over the Edge
Hitchcoc22 September 2020
When 2 passes and other crew members pass out, they come back to life as their former selves. The three additional passengers begin to find their places on the ship as havoc reigns. The thing is far fetched, even for this series. It was fun, but really caused me concern about its verisimilitude.

I felt really let down by this episode.

It was just bad, predictable, and felt out of place in such a good series.

They jumped.

Supposedly, after you finish a script it gets to the producer's office. There they approve it or don't. They have lot's of reason's as to why they don't approve it, but three are classic:

You don't jump the shark. It can wreck a show. See "Happy Days".

You don't reveal the underlining emotions to the audience before the end. It invites the audience to tune out before the story is finished. Check out "Moonlighting".

And you don't have your main characters betray their main purpose if you expect an audience to keep watching. As can be seen from the very negative reviews, that's what happened on this show. In fact all three happened.

Three of the main crew members of Raza regain the memories that they had been searching for since the series began. That's not a spoiler. That's what they advertised.

And they target the other four members of the crew for extinction. But their fight's don't matter. It's all about Five trying to put Two, Three and Four back in the bottle.

This script never should have gotten beyond the pitch stage. It doesn't work to introduce the three new members of the show. It works to keep them apart. It doesn't tell the audience anything new. The watchers of this show already knew these crew members weren't good guys.

Also, this situation develops because they are trying to fix Android. She lets their true memories slip out. But since the first show she has said that their was noting that she could do to help them learn about themselves. But now we have to think that she has a hidden agenda that they never hinted at, nor explore or explain.

And, no, it's not a good action script.

Further, it exposes holes in the actors' performances as well as poor writing. When you write a personality change, an actor needs more than what is provided in this script. Shooting off a gun and making pronouncements don't show a personality change, they show a tired script.
