This episode actually accomplished something, unlike the previous. Fair enough, the writing wasn’t the best, but it was better than episode one. However, the acting did make up for that.
The parts of the script that I didn’t find too good were the fact that Kaagh could have easily caught the teenagers, but he didn’t. The writer probably didn’t want to create too big a problem, but Kaagh had so many back-up plans that the problem was big anyway.
Onto the decent stuff, and the emotional scenes were amazing in my opinion. The acting and the writing alike couldn’t have been better. The final Jackson scenes lasted the right amount of time, so they didn’t drag on like I was worried they would after a while, and they weren’t too short like I worried they would be initially.
As much as I enjoyed all the different problems, I feel they might have been added just to make sure the episode was the right length. They weren’t too bad, though.
I’ll miss the Jacksons. They’ve been fantastic. I am wearing a red top like Alan was wearing in this episode today. Chrissie finding out about Maria’s past-time was a nice thing for their last story. I hope Rani will be a good replacement.
Overall, I found this a better episode than part one. I hope the rest of the series keeps to this, or even exceed it.
