Looks like The Event intends to be running well past Disclosure. Past Ascension maybe. Maybe it was always planned that way.
The series doles out clues more parsimoniously than Scrooge did money.
One step forward into clarity and 140 steps backward into complication and commotion.
So far events come down on the side of harsh actions that the ETs seem to feel called upon to make – Sophia drops a hint that someone will have to be dealt with harshly, a would-be informant among the ETs is killed by his girlfriend to keep him from talking. Someone is after Sean Walker, but no telling who.
It would be a simple matter to play the other side of the street. But there would so many twists and turns by then, would anyone remember who was who?
At the same time the “dead” passengers from the plane begin to wake up. Right at the end.
Only dyed-in-the-wool fans of the series will care several episodes down the road what the series was originally about.
Nothing to report on the main issue – how they are portraying extraterrestrials. That’s it for me. Next week … someone else stay tuned. I think I’ll stare at the ceiling.
