I’m not good behind that cliff.
This is how you set the season (hopefully not the series) ending!
Season 2 Episode 17 took us on a relaxing path, just pulling the carpet out from under us under Rose’s shocking entrance. Thankfully, there is only one episode left for the season.
Alec’s case is ironic given the topic of his speech
Not obvious, but the hours forced Alec to play a role 30 seconds after a speech to various people.
Worse, this was what he sucked, completely unprepared.
Initially, the premise of that installment seemed stupid. Alec had to act as an actor in a strange show the day before the opening.
From my Irrational Season 2 Episode 16 review, my point of view proves the most unique case in any program on TV.
Stupid little community theater production quickly turned into a crime scene, red herring, dangerous moments and fake prospects.
I really liked the show and after a story like this, I was more persuasive than ever.
The guy with sound and lights is an obvious doubt I should know better
All the good mysteries introduce a suspect early on, who cannot be innocent, but who has not done so. That’s the guy who is in charge of lighting and sound.
That guy seemed to want to play Audrey II.
It’s obvious when the stage manager discovers improperly adjusting the microphone. It seemed like a deal was concluded when that spokesperson almost landed on Alec, but it was too early for the hour.
I like the guy’s confused reaction to Alec’s allegations.
It perfectly points out why cheating occurs in this situation.
Alec: A speaker almost landed on my voice booth.
The guy with sound and lighting: Oh my god! yes. Are you OK?
Alec: I’m fine. But these are two accidents. First…and then, a speaker almost landed on me. And you’re just in that good stall.
Sound and Lighting People: Wait… Do you think I let that speaker fall off?
ALEC: You do want the character of Audrey II.
The guy with sound and lighting: Yes, but it is not, I’ll kill it for it!
Furthermore, that false clue leads to revelation, as no one has actually seen it since he allegedly entered the Sound Pavilion, meaning his theory of death time is wrong.
As a mysterious writer, I put my hat on the author of Season 2 Episode 17.
It is difficult to write the false lead perfectly so that it can lead to the proper revelation at the right time, but it is unreasonably nailed.
One flaw in Season 2 Episode 17 is Malcolm/Edgar’s Subterfuge
The man with three names is also a valid red herring – or, if his background makes more sense, then he is.
I know why he keeps his original identity secret, even from a romantic partner.
However, it doesn’t make sense to not tell him that he’s acting in the drama.
If he had only let his partner join that secret, the man wouldn’t have hired Ross to find out Malcolm’s real job, and Ross and Alec would never have found bodies buried in the theater.
OK, maybe they will. Eventually, someone will find DES and call the FBI.
Edgar’s misleading is an important plot.
He had a strong motivation to kill Des. An organized crime family put a bounty on his head, so if he finds out who he is, he will have to be killed or killed.
And, of course, this is another red herring, although it does show that the theater is in financial trouble. This may be the main motive for the murder, but it turns out not.
Still, this reveals flatness, as Edgar acts around his partner for no reason.
The Hour is almost entirely a story of Alec and Rose
Strangely, Marisa and Kylie have few scenes.
Marisa questioned the organized crime boss, but the point wasn’t her at all.
This is strange, but I can do it.
It’s obvious that the season finale and season premiere will be booked with each other.
In Season 2 Episode 1, Alec has to rescue Rose Rose when a guy from her past blames her for her wife’s death and kidnap her. The season will end in his capacity as both him and Rose, having to take risks related to his unaware husband.
Hopefully this doesn’t lead to heartbreaking ALEC, especially if irrational. I don’t think I can accept it!
Still, it’s a perfect cliff, especially the penultimate episode.
Knowing that it is unreasonable, this may have some distortions. Ross’ claim about her husband doesn’t seem exactly that.
The season finale will be entangled in an international espionage case involving prisoner exchanges – Can Ross’ husband be one of the prisoners?
I can’t wait to find out the answer! The penultimate episode is too many times, like a normal plot. Sometimes even season or series finals are disappointing Ordinary.
Not this time. There are some great shops in the Irrational Season 2 finale and it sets it perfectly.
Random thoughts
- Jesse L. He looked like he had a great time on the song.
- It’s so cool that we have to experience part of the script. As the case ended, I wondered if this was the only performance of Alec or if he had to commit to the whole weekend.
- Before the great revelation, the Mayans were almost invisible, but the effect was effective. She doesn’t feel like she’s everywhere.
- I love Alec’s courses this week. I am familiar with the idea that people are almost always more capable of evaluating than themselves, but his experiments are a neat twist on the concept.
