blackwing October 8 Share October 8 Did anyone else find the rescues a bit abrupt? All the hype in the commercials about the shark sighting and the rescue was over just like that. Drone kid sees shadow of shark. Two women on hoverboard things fall in the water. Will and Laka and Captain go out there. Women get on board the raft thing. Will and Laka paddle back. That's it. No actual scene of a shark fin, no actual tension or concern, Will and Laka all happy go lucky and just paddling back without a concern that there is an actual shark nearby. Same thing with the sand pit. Sand covers the two people. Crew races out and digs them out. The digging and rescue was over in like two minutes. I don't remember rescues on Baywatch being this short, but maybe my memory is failing me. Instead, this show seems to be more focused on relationships. Em is going on a date with the fire captain. But she's been around for a long time, and I presume so has the fire captain, so why have they never encountered each other before? Will gets rejected from the fire department and we don't really find out why, other than Laka telling him that he has no connections. Hina moves in with Emerson and already acts like she is taking over. And Captain tries to make amends with his sister. The sister was obviously the one crying. Who was the other woman? Another sister? A family friend? 2 Link to comment
sweetandsour October 9 Share October 9 Yeah, the show is definitely losing a lot of steam vs. what TPTB expected from it. I honestly don't mind this show. It's an easy watch. But that's sort of an inadvertent back-handed compliment. I watch it soon after it airs because it requires so little of me. I don't have to be in the right mood, I don't have to think, I just look at it. Beautiful scenery, characters that are annoying in ways that don't make an impression on me after the 40 minute are up. But boy, did I say "yes!" out loud when Ian Anthony Dale (hot fireman) showed up. I forgot he has a recurring role so I was legit surprised. Very pleasantly surprised. Now you're talking, show. I mildly appreciate that the character we have the least handle on is the white man. At this point, all we keep seeing is he's Em's ex, it's kinda awkward, he wants to be a fireman (or his lady really wants him to be one), and he's so chill that he tells everyone else to chill all the time and he took the bad job switch news very inwardly. But that's not a full character, those are bullet points on an index card. I want to see more to him. Doesn't hurt that Adam Demos is nice to look at and great to listen to. 3 Link to comment
FnkyChkn34 October 9 Share October 9 I felt like they were trying to be too artsy in this episode. Like, it was filmed more like a movie? The abrupt dialogue, pauses afterwards... It wasn't bad, but I wasn't sure what to do with it. I like Will... he's definitely not a happy person though. I'm not sure what to make of the other three? Didn't they all just hate each other last week? Now Laka likes the two rookies, who are moving in together? Weird. Was that not Captain's wife? Who was that woman? Link to comment
