Manifest: Call Sign (2020)
Enjoyed most of the episode...
But the whole escaped prisoners story was a little sloppy. One prisoner fakes a seizure, then attacks the officer who comes to help him. Predictable, and I might have let that pass. But then the second officer draws his gun on this prisoner to resolve the situation, but in doing so turns his back on another prisoner??? Do they not have some sort of protocol to follow in a medical emergency? You'd think they'd have one officer standing guard while the other secures the other two prisoners before approaching the "sick" prisoner. And you'd think they would call it in, and maybe call for an ambulance. Also, once the prisoners have escaped, wouldn't someone on the other end have alerted the precinct to let them know they never showed up?
Manifest: Airplane Bottles (2020)
It's all connected!
Best episode yet. First one to actually match abortamir's score.
There were three storylines and I found all of them quite compelling. I didn't find any of the main characters annoying this episode, not even Jared.
First, Michaela is being questioned by IA presumably about Jared, but it's pretty clear they seem to think she's guilty of something, and push her until she's ready to tell them anything and everything about Jared. Thankfully her union rep seems quite capable and suggests taking the interview down to 1PP. When Jared recognizes him as one of Simon's people and realizes Michaela's life is in danger, he decides to arrest her for the arson. This adds to my suspicion that he's been working undercover (at least I hope he is). It would explain why the captain is aware of his involvement with the Xers.
Then we've got the Stones and TJ. The storm added to the tension inside the house, despite (or perhaps because of) not being real. Grace wasn't feeling well (as though seasick), TJ and Cal, who are usually very laid back, were both on edge and short-tempered, and Ben was uncharacteristically impatient with Cal. It all added to a sense of foreboding. Then finally, when Ben realized what Cal was trying to build and helped him do so, and they found themselves on the ship, we finally realized what the silver dragon was, and how the events of the past are connected to the present. And then comes the realization that to survive, the passengers must accepts their callings (recall that the armoured car robber died after he decided to exploit his calling instead of following it).
Finally, there's Zeke and Sanvii. Zeke has gone to see Sanvii, hoping to get rid of the calling, but Sanvii (who's been treating herself) is obviously not well, and doesn't realize it. Zeke enlists the help of Sanvii's ex, and she seems better. But is she doomed? Or will she get her calling back?
