Very Very Decent Episode [8/10]

Reaction / Review for Manifest Season 1 Episode 11: Episode 10 was good and I gave it a rating of 8/10. Including the captain who just wants to clear his name is cool. Everybody thinks he is responsible which is unfair. Is Autumn still working for the enemy or not? Seems like the pilot is losing it a bit, attacking that woman, what does he think he can prove? He is going to steal a plane? Damn. Does he want to recreate the conditions of the flight? What does he want to prove? Did he do it? It would be crazy if he did it. And Cal disappears once again, interesting. Overall a really good episode, my rating is 8/10.

Vaguest touch on the sci fi, more relationships development.

They could have called this episode, "Nothing Happens Again", except the soap opera garbage.

An indication for how unimportant sci fi is for this series, without spoilers: the premise is a passenger plane mysteriously disappears after flying into a storm, then reappears five years later - intact with all alive, yet for some reason "the whole world" blames and is angry at the pilot?!

If this actually happened, we'd blame the pilot, making him a social pariah?!

It's not explained *why* everyone blames him, it's not explained why they don't blame the co pilot, and other than flippantly using the term, "black lightning", they don't explain or elaborate that phemonenon, at all!

Actually, they only talk briefly about the sci fi bits just so they can segue into the soap opera stuff.
