S01.E08: David and Goliath - Part 2


Recommended Posts

Well, that was a waste of time. We spent the first half of the finale without David anywhere to be seen. And the last half was a big disappointment. Neither the director nor the editor (and let's include the writer too) have any idea how to create suspense, how to build an epic ending, or how to make viewers want to come back for more. I knew we weren't going to get the entire story this season, that they had planned for at least one more. But I felt I watched eight episodes without getting any real finale. There needed to be one more episode to create some intrigue for next season.

"One of the most legendary battles of history" was a nothing burger.

I won't be back. Not even sure why I watched this, other than the title intrigued me.

Under the Stan Lee rule of every issue being someone's first I had a guest with me while watching and knowing the showdown was happening in this episode spent the 45 minutes saying "no that's not David"

So they went with the first scene of the series tease of David he was actually taking a hit from the giant's spear. That David learned Wushu while keeping his flock safe from the deposed old lion king I guess we can say was a God thing.

As a stand-alone story I would have pushed ahead a couple of chapters to epilog the fight. Stopping when David took Goliath's head does suggest a full-blown series not a miniseries.
