Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C+ | 1150 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT One Peter Down…
By Couch Baron | Season 3 | Episode 4 | Aired on 2008.10.06
Speaking of repeating boring storylines, we get like 30 seconds of what happened last week with Matt and the Walkman of Second Sight, but this time we focus in on Matt's white eyes, and cut to...
...New York, four years in the future. We focus on a puddle reflecting the image of the world split in two, and then Present Peter and Future Peter disrupt it by materializing right in the middle of it. Visually, that's really nice, but that's rarely the problem with this show. The two of them start walking, the better to show off Blue Steel Squared, until FP tells PP that there's one big difference in this reality. Many of the surrounding citizens respond to this call by demonstrating their ability to fly and superzip and the like, and FP tells PP that a formula has made abilities available to anyone who can afford them. I'd like to see a price sheet on those -- I have the feeling that flying and teleportation go for a little more than, say, dreamwalking. I could be wrong, though -- some people don't like going outside. (Says the guy typing away when it's 80 degrees and sunny.) FP chomps the future scenery as he tells PP that these abilities will destroy the world, and people can't be trusted. PP says there will always be good people, and FP gets a good one in: "How could I be so naïve?" Heh. I bet everyone would like his past self to show up to be berated once in a while: "You bought an album by a band that calls themselves The Verve Pipe? What were you thinking?"
