Shackles - Episode 3x05 - Faces of the Past

Angelo, you sly dog.

I’m the type of person that comes into an episode having read the episode description and the guest stars. Then here you are going and not including a particular guest star until the very end. It was a very sly move by you, but you can trust me when I say that I NEVER saw it coming.

Quite frankly, I thought that Matilda was dead. Given, I knew that she would show up at one point or another (whether in flashback or the current time), I wasn’t expecting it to be in this fashion. Knowing you, Angelo, you would have waited until the season finale to even give us a glimpse of her again. However, I guess I was wrong about your thought process.

Brett and Kylee’s child is a great addition. I’m disappointed that you didn’t actually cast a baby for that role. Shame on you, Angelo, shame on you. Another thing that I don’t like about the baby is that you left him in the car as bullets were being shot at it. Why would Mister S. be so careless? Why would you be so careless?

I did give Tony shit for this the other day about a DSR episode. One of my biggest pet peeves about stories is forgetting or not caring about the children. Writers can both do it on purpose or possibly carelessly, but whatever the case may be, I hate it when it happens. In real life, children come first 99% of the time. It should be the same for a fictional show, book, etc. Consider this spiel as me giving you shit concerning the same topic.

The Anemoi Sickness is quite a cool idea. I wonder how it was created or who what exact affect it will have on other when and if it is released into Los Angeles. I get the feeling that it will never see the light of day, as you’ll see expressed in my next theory. And yes, I will be doing new theories in every single review for every single series.

This was yet another finely written episode from the hands of Angelo Shrine. With a great ‘GOTCHA’ moment at the end and some great new insight through flashbacks, I would consider calling this episode my favorite of the season.

Jimbo’s Next Theory
The releasing of the Anemoi Sickness will be stopped by Clarissa’s son, Jonathan. He’ll either convince her or use force to stop her from unleashing it.
