Frontember (S01E08)

A step downhill. Fortunately, it's a short episode that doesn't say much, unless you count the would-be shocking twist on the level of a Mexican soap opera. (2022.01.29)

The eighth episode seemed a bit less spectacular, but I found myself enjoying it more than the previous one. However, as a straight viewer, I can't help but feel a bit left out by the creators. First, the marble game, and now, with what went down, we're missing out on two Korean girls who were a real highlight for me. On top of that, there were a couple of things that didn't quite sit right with me. The first was the whole shooting-at-a-pressurized-bottle issue. I get that not every bottle needs to go boom, but I still wouldn't be shooting at it from a meter away, you know? But, more importantly, how does a person in full clothing get hit by glass and then magically take off their shirt without pulling out the shard? Even Houdini would be scratching his head at that one. / Lesson learned: If you've got a steak knife left after dinner, you better brace yourself. And don't trust anyone, not even someone who offers you a kidney. 4*- (2022.02.03)
