Eternity - Episode 1x05 - Under the Cities

So… is the Chief married?

I think I feel pretty safe saying that, so far, this was my favorite episode of the season. The episode was chock full of great dialogue, and we even got a nice little hint concerning the Gentleman. I was sucked into this episode from the beginning. Under the Cities raised the bar, for sure. But, now I have to hope that the last 2 episodes of the season are just as good, if not, better.

The Gentleman’s statement that ‘She’ has the power absolutely shocked me. This begins an entirely new ball game. Saying that ‘She’ has the power tells us that there is somebody else, besides Charley and the Gentleman, that know about this. All this time, here we are thinking that the Gentleman was the only one, or at least the one in control. I must say, it was a great visual when Charley walks into his office to see all of his clocks running again.

The ending was both good, but also risky. I’m just saying, but if I had a fire extinguisher and my opponent had a knife, I wouldn’t be attacking him anytime soon. Starlight taking action was great, no matter how much she ruined Charley’s life. She got vengeance, plain and simple. Despite what she’s done, I can’t help but think that Charley feels sorry for her, at least somewhat.

Something that I’ve been thinking about now is Joanne and Charley. They had a bit of a reunion, of sorts, in this episode. Part of me thinks that nothing new will happen between the two of them, but one can still remain hopeful that they’ll put aside their differences and at least have a little talk. I think Simo would agree that a little talking between the two of them wouldn’t hurt and that everybody needs to set aside their differences at one time or another.

Speaking of Simo, once again, we didn’t see much of him. I guess I just wish that he was more in the thick of things. He has had a couple moments to shine, but I can’t lose hope that he’ll get more of those moments. He’s a great character, but appears more on the sidelines than the others, even his wife.

Jimbo’s Next Theory
This mysterious woman that the Gentleman mentioned will greatly factor into the end of the season, possibly even the end of the series.
