Me When It’s The Last Fucking Season And Alex’s Storyline Is Nonexistent

LILA and FIVE in THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY: SEASON 3

It's both and it's not a good thing.

I'll put this right now and won't speak of it again.

I love Trevino and I think he's gonna do a terrific job directing. I have no doubt.

Maybe we will finally get a well-cut and directed episode because the last few have been a bit iffy when it comes to editing and continuity.

With that said, this episode sounds like a filler.

Especially when episode 8 brought a much-needed urgency to move the story arc on.

Now we have to stop again? Not have answers again?

For the very first time, I'll be watching an episode with the lowest of expectations (if you follow my blog you know how much I always try to stay on the positive side of things).

I know Liz is in a bad shape (by something of her own making, btw) and Max will be, surprisingly(not) on the verge of life and death again, but it kind of sucks this whole "everyone will be there to save the heroin, avengers-assemble kind of way" when the love of one of the main characters life it's LITERALLY IN A HOLE, IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS NOW.

The same character is human and has a disability.

Which makes you think he needs things to survive down there. At least, this should be the first concern once his boyfriend and friends realized he's been there and missing for days.

Again, it's the urgency that seems that will be totally forgotten in episode 9.

The fact that the whole group will stop everything to save Liz, doesn't make any sense.

At least, that's how it sounded to me.

I hope I'm wrong.

I hope Monday's episode surprises me and makes me bite my tongue, but in my opinion, this episode should have been placed early on and not now, on the second half of a season that's not explaining anything and dragging its story.

This doesn't mean I'm being negative or trying to ruin Trevino's ep.

It's just an honest opinion when it comes to the narrative we are getting so far.

Again, I hope I'm wrong and the ep surprises me.
