Tension Through Situation

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 23 February 2020]

We needed this episode to get some perspective on the Alpha world. Silk goes in in his normal buttoned down way and soon finds out he has to play it a little stronger or nothing will happen. He meets Anna (his daughter?) We also get to see what might have been but for some reason can't. Howard on the other side does a little more conventional serving and volleying. I know it was slow moving, but there were some nice moments of realization.

Which side are you now?

Howards decide to switch places to deepen their investigation, but it seems they both deviate the original plan. The conspiracy seems to go deeper than just some rogue group of dissidents.

In 'Both Sides Now' we spend an equal amount of time in the Prime world than in the Alpha world. We get to see the visual differences between the two worlds and also some social differences. While the two Howards seem to go on the different paths, there start to appear some similarities in their behavior.

A slow, but a consistently well-written episode that allows for the characters to set their foot on the new grounds.

Good song for the title of the episode to reference, but a pretty mediocre episode here. There were some minor character developments here, but for the most part this was about as filler as you can expect.

I want something more pressing than Howard talking about the best way to prepare chicken, but that's what we got here.
