An incomplete sneeze
1 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this show all the way through from season 1 to season 2, and "like an incomplete sneeze" is the only way I can describe it. There are moments where you think there is going to be some sort of revelation, then it is snatched away at the last moment. The greatest example I can think of is in S02E06 where a man's eyes turn white (as he is apparently taken over by an alien), he walks through a fire which immediately extinguishes, and then, unscathed, the man repels Captain Quinn with some sort of energy burst. Keep in mind that at this late point in the show, I was still waiting for something to actually happen, so when this scene came along, I allowed myself to get excited, finally. Imagine my disappointment when our two protaganists not only fail to investigate or at least ask any follow-up questions, but later on, Hynek dismisses the man as a fraud; we are given no explanation as to how he reached that conclusion. And this is what the show has been like for me; a succession of incomplete sneezes. I wanted to like it, but ended up watching it only because I was starved of sci fi and there is nothing else on. Disappointing - I couldn't be less interested in a third season
