Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... cute wittle puppies... ;-)
That being said it just felt like something was off about the FX.
Nice to see Jenny again.
Does it seem like the writers really don't know what to do with James this season?
It just seems like they have to stretch to come up with something for Lester to do in the various episodes. Performing the marriage really seemed unlikely.
They really shouldn’t try to do creatures with fur. Their last attempt in Season 2 with the smilodon in the adventure park was equally poor – furry animals look more fake than those with skin. And once again the close-up work with the hyaenodons in the wedding room was bad: they didn’t look properly close to the people.
I don’t know whether the writers are struggling with giving Lester something to do because there are now so many other characters, or whether it’s Ben Miller’s availability that means they can only squeeze him in briefly and occasionally.
James says that Ethan is (suspiciously) confident and knowledgeable about living in the 21st century. So is Emily but nobody seems to have commented on that.
Again the ARC crew go charging into a public area with guns clearly visible.
Plastic sheeting seems to be obligatory in scary creeping-about scenes. I have never yet seen it in real life!
What happened to the guard who was watching Emily? Did she club him unconscious and hide his body somewhere?
Why did Becker and his team not find traces of the bomb on their first sweep?
Why does Jenny have so many spare outfits with her? And where is her future sister-in-law this evening?
Why are the hallways so badly lit in what is essentially a hotel? Health and safety would have a fit if they saw clients creeping around in the dark like that.
As he leaves the car, Becker tells Jess to call for back-up and she gets onto her phone. But he’s wearing an earpiece ... which continues to fail to work when he triggers the traps so that apparently he’s unable to call for help.
Kudos (for once) to The Mill who did quite a good job of Connor fending off the pups as they nipped at his legs.
Would the pups really drink something as strong smelling and tasting as wine? And I’m not sure their instincts would allow Connor to put the box over them – although I love one of the pups’ look of alarm just before the box encloses them completely.
Is every extra in ‘London’ Irish?!
Why hasn’t Matt noticed Emily’s wedding ring before?
Connor comes hurtling into the wedding yelling that everyone’s in danger. Everybody stares blankly at him ... including, it seems, Matt and Abby who do nothing at all to back him up or even find out why he’s so concerned.
Emily spears one of the hyaeonodons and, as it falls to the ground, Abby tells her to run. Why not close in and finish it off or at least club it unconscious? Instead they both run off and drop their weapons as they go.
What the hell is Michael wearing on his feet?! If my fiancé turned up at our wedding in his slippers, I might just change my mind ...
Lester is, of course, adorable as he tetchily marries Jenny and Michael but is it even legal to marry people by video link? Surely he has to sign the register? And anyway, it’s only twenty miles away – couldn’t they have got him into a car, or will the ARC fall apart without him?
They really shouldn’t try to do creatures with fur. Their last attempt in Season 2 with the smilodon in the adventure park was equally poor – furry animals look more fake than those with skin.
Part of that is because hair has so many separate parts (i.e. each strand of hair) that must be animated to make it look right.
Also one thing I went back & checked is that in some scenes the hyaenodons are blue & not the brown color they are in other scenes. Ugh!
Why does Jenny have so many spare outfits with her?
Maybe she's planning to go on "three-hour tour"? ;-) (Oh, right, you've never seen Gilligan's Island... *shifty eyes*)
will the ARC fall apart without him
I guess Lester is just a load-bearing boss. ;-)
How come nobody seems to wonder what happened to that woman in charge of the wedding ceremony who gets killed at the beginning?
Not to mention that when she gets to the wine cellar, she calls out for "Charlie?" who never answers, indicating that she may have been the hyaenodons' second victim.
How long does it take the ARC to detect an open anomaly? (Besides any 'speed of plot' jokes.) It seemed like the hyaenodons had kind of 'settled down' when we first saw them, indicating that they may have searched the immediate area & decided on the cubby hole as a good 'cave' to stay in, but the anomaly isn't detected till later.
