Eternity - Episode 1x06 - The Glory, Jest and Riddle of the World

What another great episode of Eternity! With only one episode to go, plus a movie, I’m expecting a lot to come out of these scripts. After all, there is so much mystery, but so little time. Hopefully unlike a certain show (about an island), we’ll get all the answers. I guess we’ll have to see if they’ll be enough time for them all.

This episode had another striking realization for Charley, which was great to watch. Him joking earlier in the episode with the Gentleman was great to see. Charley, while handling another repeat fairly well, manages to piss off the Gentleman in the process. We haven’t seen that yet, so it was great to see the Gentleman (about halfway through the episode) get very angry at Charley.

Up until now, I’ve thought that nobody but Charley could see the Gentleman. Even Charley thought that in this episode. But, then we realize that the Gentleman can be seen by other people. This was definitely shocking to both Charley and myself. I’m interested to see what happens with the Gentleman being the divorce attorney for Joanne. Is this possible payback for Charley’s jokes? You never know...

I need you. More than anyone darling. You know that I have from the start. So build me up, Buttercup. Don’t break my – DAMN YOU, SHRINE! Of course, there is the song that’ll be stuck in my damn head all day. I must say, it was great. I thought it was a strange choice for a music cue at the beginning of the episode, but once we learned more about Genevieve and she told Charley about Diggs being her ex-husband, it made perfect sense.

It was surprising to me that Charley would wait to take care of business. I think it shows that he isn’t as troubled as he used to be about repeating the day. All in all, I’m very interested to read the final episode of the season, as well as the series concluding movie. I can only hope that they’ll be just as great as the rest of the series.

Jimbo’s Next Theory
I’m not entirely convinced about the Gentleman’s position, when it comes to being seen by others. Right now, I’ve been approaching this as if he is either seen by nobody, or seen by everybody. I’m going to go in the middle with this and say that the Gentleman can choose when he is seen and when he isn’t.
