I found this episode more exciting than most as it got more into some of the survival stuff that the plane wreck survivors were dealing with. I hope it continues to pick up speed toward the finale.

The first episode was great but after that this show gets little bit slow. But with this episode i can definitely say that show has made its comeback. Now i am excited to know what's left more in this and This show is really Good. I would definitely recommend to watch it. It will be worth to see it really.
I guess we're getting somewhere now

By this point of the show which started with a lot of mystery, my mind has fizzled out of wanting to know what's going to happen next, but ironically, it's this episode that starts picking up.
We have the present-day people going to make the 50k drop after being blackmailed and in the wilderness we have Taissa and Co. Going out to seek help. Whilst both narratives pick up the pace, both narratives are frustrating to watch.
We have Taissa, the one that eats dirt and knows of the eyeless entity completely in denial of Lottie's visions, after having seen her be absolutely taken over only a couple episodes ago. Her character in the wilderness is annoying and her narrative in the present day is boring. But the frustration only grows as we get a side story of Jackie, who still brings nothing useful to the crew, just going on about teenage problems. Sure, everyone else does too, but at least they have the instinct of survival. Jackie who doesn't do anything is only worried about what Shauna's been hiding. It's a narrative that I think is there just to emphasise why she was sacrificed (Presuming it is her in the season opener)
We then see Natalie and Travis trying to progress in their relationship and I still don't see why sex has to be a massive theme of this show, this scene between them was just uncomfy to watch and unnecessary really.
Then the episode brings in its action, we get close to finding out who the blackmailer is, we see Van get bitten by a wolf under Taissa's watch and we see Lottie's visions of pool of blood and red smoke coming true. If none of these things had happened, I would be inclined to stop watching the show here. For me it saved it by picking up the pace.
The one thing that continues to irk me is present day Natalie. I just can't seem to empathise with her at all. Every emotion is just expressionless on her face and in fact the character decisions are just annoying.
Overall, the show finally picks up but if it doesn't continue to do so for the next 3 episodes, count me out of S2.
P. S. There's still no real progression into the lord of the flies deal which is what drew me to this show in the first place.
P. P. S. I predict it's Travis's younger brother that's doing the blackmailing
P. P. P. S. I haven't been hearing that soundtrack much in the last couple eps. Hope they utilize it more.

[5.7] Going south

Episode 7: A more dramatic episode, but hollow as always. The semi-suspenseful ending doesn't count; it just shows good acting and VFX.
Roller coaster of episodes so far with this one getting around 6 balls with near 56 min worth of pictures, motions and drama. Past and present are interlaced with nonsense, artificial behaviors, hidden agendas, treachery and mystical stuff.
Prep'ing for episode 8. Losing my hope already on a satisfying outcome.
