coil is at its best during crazy , grossout action scenes , and last night ’s episode played to this strength full-grown time . Not only did we meet the ultimate Big Bad posthuman , but the science get under one’s skin so campy that it felt a little bit like Speed Racer cope with Darth Vader . And that was kind of great . Spoilers ahead !
Time is running out for our ragtag pack of superhumans , scientist and black goo zombies , because Ilaria ’s USA is on the means . Hiroshi responds by planting bombs all over Arctic Biosystems , hoping that all the remaining scientists can hole up in his Montana cabin cellar bunker as the Ilarians and zombies burn down above . We watch Hiroshi zipping around in his gamy execution framework kit , sticking Oreo - shaped bombs everywhere .
The vectors are up their game , tempt the non - goo guy wire out into the open with the hope of microwaved scum bag . Also , they are eating each other ’s rakehell and operating on each other and pouring sacks of their corporeal fluids into the vent so that everybody will be coated in guck and get vectory . This situation is cite to by the scienticians as “ the virus evolving . ” Show , I earnestly just give up on your technical school talk . Any meter somebody speak about science I am going to pretend I am watching Speed Racer .
Meanwhile , Sarah has completely recovered from her tumor , thanks to an shot of Julia ’s spinal fluid . So Alan and Julia hatch a plan to synthesize more of the spinal fluid material and cure as many vectors as possible before the mini - Revelation . There ’s a lot of Chim - Chim skill here , with Sarah suggesting they add cryo - something to the vaccines to “ slow the virus evolution ” while the cure does its work .
Then Miksa reveals that in his spare meter he ’s created a special haversack that can spray the great unwashed with vaccine or something , so they can use that to shoot cryo - something while germinate the vectors in the abdomen with the vaccine . This is a great moment where Hiroshi looks with pride at his Logos , and clear how little he really knows about how awesome Miksa has been all along . Hiroshi ’s been so obsessed with finding Julia again — because “ she ’s authoritative , ” he says with inauspicious equivocalness — that he has n’t had fourth dimension to enjoy the Word he reared when Julia and her mother left .
There are a few keen scenes where Hiroshi and Julia are run around , spraying and shoot the vectors . Of of course they get Peter first , who immediately freezes and startle vomit shameful goo . Because we could n’t have an legal action scene without somebody barfing , crapulence vomit , or exploding into a spile of ropey blood yuck .
And then — the margin is violate ! Time to go outside with hitman ! turn out Ilaria has sent a clump of explode drones as a distraction while they bump off a guy nickname the Scythe , an assassin who is “ the bad of us ” as Hiroshi commit it . Apparently he ’s a one - serviceman cleanup machine , and he looks reasonably much precisely like a cross between Racer X and Darth Vader . See how crucial Speed Racer is plough out to be for this show ?
I completely loved the scene where Scythe Racer arrives with his henchpeople , tardily coming into focus as three sheeny black - raiment design in the long , whitened hallway of Arctic Biosystems . This show has so much campy - scary style .
Julia , Alan and everybody else are gathering in the Montana cabin bunker to weather the explosion , and Sarah starts make these blinding headaches . Is it her tumour returning ? Nope . She ’s got the silver gray heart . Oh , shit . Well , no meter to deal with that little detail , and what it means about what ’s going to happen to the cured vector . The crew needs to close their blast door and blow up the base .
A group of the remaining non - goo scientists are gathered in an elevator to go down to the shelter when Scythe Racer show up . Of course they are whole naive for some reason , and pay for this motorcycle helmet trio into the elevator without ask any interrogative sentence . In fact , they immediately say , “ Hey we have a cure and we ’re all going down to the bunker ! ” Great occupation , dipshits . Never tell multitude in glistening black physical structure armor what your secret plan is , OK ?
As Scythe Racer gets out of the elevator with his henchpeople , we see he ’s leave scientist excite fry in his wake . Yeah , he really does kill with scythe . This is a totally badass detail .
That ’s when Miksa decides its time to blow the facility up . But when he pushes the “ destroy all Oreos ” release , nothing happens ! One of the henchpeople looks at the bombs as she gets out of the lift , and murmuration , “ Amateurs . ” I venture those turkey really were tasty cookies after all . Then all the badasses take off their motorcycle helmet , and we see that the henchpeople are two female ninjas , accompanied by a eloquent - eyed teenage guy who is ostensibly the Scythe . get a little Ender ’s Game here , but OK . I like it . So far Illaria ’s bad guys — like Constance — have been among the unspoilt character in the show .
So now Scythe Racer is on the track , chasing down Chim - Chim and all the other scienticians . Plus , everybody is going silver centre ! But at least Miksa and Hiroshi have sort of resolved their daddy issues , and even Julia is ring Hiroshi her father in front of everybody . I know I ’ve suppose this before , but damn Hiroshi is a player .
We still have n’t estimate out what the silver eye are , and what the immortals ’ straight plan is . How do the vector fit into all this ? And what are they evolving into ? A virus beehive mind or whatever it was that Spritle enjoin ? I ca n’t wait to find out . If this show gets another time of year , all I can say is that I desire it ’s starring a squad of immortal scientists led by Julia , Sarah and Hiroshi .
