Episode 7 "Three Hours" (3 hours)
List of main characters:
sister flower, doctor
Plot introduction:
Carolina is drugged, and the doctor tells Eva that C's life can be saved as long as she retrieves the film within three hours.
(Comment: The plot of this episode has already started to "float". The front is still "showing flowers", and now it is "pioneering", logic and coherence are not needed. It seems that the crew has embarked on the "sit and wait for the plot to finish work," The rhythm of breaking up"...)
A little emotion:
1. The sense of jumping in the plot, the good things that have been steadily and steadily in the front are gone.
2. The characters are abrupt, confused by the enemy or the friend
3. The suspense continued to the last episode, which was praised; the characterization began to be distracted, and the reviews were negative
Episode 8 "Cain" (Cain)
Title analysis:
Cain, those who have read the Bible should not be unfamiliar with this name. "Genesis" chapter 4 verses 3 to 10 records:
Abel also offered the firstborn of his flock and the fat of the sheep. The Lord looked upon Abel and his offering, but he did not look upon Cain and his offering. Cain became very angry, and his face changed. The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why are your countenances changed? If you do well, will you not be accepted? If you do not do well, sin lies at the door. It will desire you, But you will subdue it." Cain spoke to his brother Abel, and they were in the field, and Cain got up and beat his brother Abel, killing him. The LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" He said, "I don't know! Am I my brother's keeper?" The LORD said, "What have you done? Your brother's blood has a voice. cry to me from the ground.
This is the title of this episode, and that's what it means.
Plot focus:
Who sent innocent people to concentration camps? Is it Carlos or Pedro?
Plot introduction:
The truth is revealed, Carols is indisputable, confesses the crime
A little emotion:
1. Twice inversion, not natural enough, no point given at all
2. The rhythm is faster, and it is out of touch with the previous story.
3. That silly sheriff is holding on to the cause of Aníbal's death, you are wasting the audience's time and patience
4. Carols killed the sailor and turned on the zombie mode. This work finally turned into a magic drama? !
5. Sit and wait for the next season, I don’t know if it will be cut off
end
