Warning: This
post will contain spoilers for this episode, and any episodes that
came before it.
I really liked the
intro to this episode. It didn't explain the overarching plot, it
just had a couple lines of dialogue from the last episode, with
quiet, grim music, and that opening to this episode really appealed
to me.
I
confess I was minorly disappointed that the end of the last episode
was misleading. By the time Evan gets to a place where he can see
Cat, Vincent has vanished. Ah, well. Can't have the third character
figure it out until late in the game. I mean, in Grimm, people had to
nearly die before finding out— oh, wait. Evan has nearly
died already.
I hope
Evan figures it out before the season finale, but they might string
it out that long. For me, the enjoyable part is less the
Trying-To-Figure-It-Out phase, and more the let me help
phase. I would like the
superhero team-up of Vincent, JT, Cat, and Evan,
simply because I like the character of Evan very much.
That
caught me completely by surprise because I usually dislike the
“arrogant player” characters in TV shows/movies, but I really
like Evan.
I especially like
how calm he was when tending to Cat. We find out how very much afraid
he was, and he seems to be aware The Creature is possibly right over
there, but instead of getting distracted, instead of freaking out, or
even raising his voice— which would certainly be understandable—
he had a quiet professionalism that I really liked.
Vincent's eyes
reflecting in the dark in the later half of this episode? A cool
effect. I really liked it! I also like Alex as a character. I look
forward to seeing her in the next episode, since she was in the
thumbnail, I'm assuming she has a role. Besides, the story with
Vincent is far from over, since Cat challenged our Beast to figure
out if he's still in love with Alex or not.
Here's
the thing: I like Alex
and Vincent together. I'd like them to get back together, have Cat
and Evan go the other direction. I don't actually much care for
Vincent and Cat being together as a couple. I would like Alex to
become a permanent member of Team Beast (Thank you, Felicity Smoak).
I don't think it will happen, in fact, I'm almost one hundred percent
sure it won't... but that's what I would have most enjoyed. I would
like to see Cat help Vincent because it's the right thing to do,
because she feels strongly about it, because she cares about him...
but not that way. Let
the romance be found elsewhere. But this is a
TV show called Beauty and the Beast, so
I suppose we were doomed from the start to have Beauty and Beast fall
in love, weren't we?
