Travelers (TV Series) Room 101 (2016) User Reviews

Can I give 11 out of 10?

[Spielhagen · 10/10 · 16 October 2019]

By this episode, we have an idea about the layout of the interaction between some unspecified future and the present times. We have seen some action unfolding, we got used to a set of characters in the inner circle and around them, and we have started to accept an alternative reality.

Room 101 provides an unexpected setting with the majority of the characters being confined in a surreal setting and being questioned about their background. We never learn who the antagonist might be, but we have the chance to see four out of five of the main characters act in a severely confined setting. Deprived of most of the tools actors have at hand, the team members help to create an extremely unsettling atmosphere that opens numerous questions about the forces there be.

One episode that opens several dimensions to the plot of the series. Subtle means in setting the stage such as the confinement into cells and into wheelchairs, and the ominous thin film of water over the pathways in the nondescript detainment facility add greatly to an eerie atmosphere of doom.

Don't watch this one if you think you might be claustrophobic.

Mumbo No. # - Too late!

Episode 5: Everything is happening for a reason. Be sure of that! Some good acting, same nonsense plots continuing, same unrealistic events happening and above all, super c..ppy rescuing comes to believable life in the very convenient end.

If you had to save the world, how would you go about it?

I mean: there is more than one option. For example, you could (A) put on a mask and a cape, walk across rooftops and hope to encounter criminals.

You could also (B) become a member of a political party and try to change things through legislation, or you could (C) form a terrorist cell and try violent actions.

However, the most successful route seems to me to be one that the Travelers have not yet taken: You could (D) infiltrate political leaders and run things from above. Of course, someone always has to die before you can take over their body as a HOST.

But: - hey, what do they have their arsenal of weapons in the big suitcase for?

BTW - One little thing in Episode 5 that bothers me is how stupid David behaves while shopping: Because he can't decide, he buys two meals at the same time, goes home and only then calls Marcy on his cellphone to ask what she wants to eat. Why the hell isn't he already doing this in the shop? It could have been that he would have reached them before the truck rammed the car (which of course he knows nothing about), so that he would only have had to spend money on one meal and only have to carry half of the food home. Or is this intentional because David's IQ must now continually decrease to compensate for Marcy's increase?
