For the third week,Intelligencecreated a story that felt like a finale.
But for the third week, she is still his focus.
Hit the jump for why it’s not racism, it’s statistics.
So, there wasthat.
Intelligence still has some potential.
IsAlmost Humandoing more or less the same thing right now, but so much better?
Yes (even though I’ll admit that show’s momentum has stalled out for now).
Still, there are elements toIntelligencethat could be expanded on and made more engaging.
Not even weekly shirtless scenes ofJosh Hollowayare going to save this one on its current course.
For example, was there anything more uninterested or less engaging than this week’s cold open?
But this week, there wasn’t a single familiar face in the cold open for almost five minutes.
That’s way too long for people to not think, “am I on the right channel?”
then flip around and find something else.
For those of us who staid though, there wasn’t much payoff.
Does it make any sense?
No, but there’s not a lot of time to consider it because bang!
But in a virtual world, so … what?
The logic ofIntelligenceis certainly lacking, but worse, there’s nothing else for it to fall back on.
The writing is stale (“get out of my head, bitch!
There’s still some vague hope thatIntelligencecould crawl of the hole it has dug for itself.
