Holy shit, latest episode is a fucking trip. Quite a turnaround from last week. WTF is going on, LOL. I have no idea how they're going to wrap this up now.
Spoiler!
This episode is a lot more like what I expected the series to be from what I know of the comic. But with only 2 episodes left, I never expected them to go down the "Am I just crazy and imagining the whole thing" road.
Eh... they are almost losing me. Not a huge fan so far. The scene with the truck shooting at them... then driving past them on the dune... then seeing the girl run... then they have to turn the truck around for a gun that can only apparently point in one direction only to shoot like two shots out of a belt fed gun. That was just a super strange scene. [Reply]
Latest episode has triggered my interest. Was somewhat bored with it until then. Up to that point, the only thing i found interesting was the suit and Khonshu. [Reply]

Jake Lockley was another one of the multiple personalities that he had in the comic. They kinda hinted at it in the earlier episode. And again in the finale. But I can see how it would have been confusing as hell to anyone not familiar with that.
This series was mostly a dud. Oscar Isaac definitely made it interesting. But the story just wasn't there. The plot got goofy with little payoff. [Reply]

That makes sense. I figured the next series (if there is one) will explore who the third dude is.
Oscar Isaac floated the boat. There wasn't really a lot that was compelling outside of his performance. There were some elements about his trauma and developing the multiple personalities and the (albeit Disney-fied) coming to terms with it.
But yeah, the big battle was not good. The love story was dumb and obviously a lazy plot device. I didn't hate her character entirely, I thought her action scenes were pretty good. The plot device and her magically forgetting Mark killed her dad. I also cringed extra hard at the "are you an Egyptian super hero?" Ugh.
It wasn't terrible though, I'm glad I watched it. [Reply]
I liked it, though I'd have preferred for it to get even weirder after the end of E4. There were signs of a 3rd personality back from either the 1st or 2nd episode (whenever Marc/Steven blacked out and got ultra violent), so I was glad for that payoff at the end. [Reply]
