Stunning effects work...
21 November 2023
...that is, bad. Stunningly bad effects work. The very first sequence in the episode ends with Sydney driving her car off a pier into the water. I was not out looking for mistakes; I was just watching the show. But, suddenly, staring me right in the face, almost waving to me, was the cable they used to drag the car off the pier. Then, also screaming for my attention, were the front wheels turned fully to the left although the car was being dragged straight forward. Obviously, they had not been secured in a straight-forward position for the effect. And no attempt to hide the cable had been made. It's like the effects team didn't show up for the shoot that day. The director just told his production assistant to get it done somehow. Unbelievable.
