Beacon 23 Episode 4 Recap: Well, I’ll Be!
Alright, so I just watched that Beacon 23 show, episode four, you know? The one with all them space people and the shiny beacon thingy. Don’t rightly know what it’s all about half the time, but it’s got them pretty faces and some shootin’, so I keep watchin’.
This here episode, it was kinda…talky. Not a whole lotta action like them other times. They was goin’ on and on about stuff I couldn’t make heads nor tails of. Somethin’ ’bout…’philosophical’ and ‘abstract,’ they called it. Sounded like a buncha hogwash to me. Like when old man Fitzwilliam down the road starts talkin’ about the meaning of life after he’s had too much of that homemade hooch.
Remember that gal, Aster? The one with the spunk? Well, she got herself hurt real bad last time. Bleedin’ all over the place, she was. This episode, they was all worried ’bout her. And that fella, Halan? He was mopin’ around like a lost calf. I swear, these young’uns and their dramatics.
- First off, they was tryin’ to figure out if Aster was gonna make it. Lots of fussin’ and frettin’.
- Then, there was this Qta fella, Coley, sneakin’ around. Looked like a weasel to me. Said he was lookin’ for some fancy space rocks. Always someone lookin’ for somethin’ they ain’t got no right to, ain’t there?
- And then, the talkin’. Lord, the talkin’. They was jabberin’ about who they are, what they’re doin’, and all sorts of things that don’t matter a lick to me. I just wanna see some spaceships and maybe a good ol’ fashioned laser fight, you know?
I tell ya, this show, it’s a real head-scratcher sometimes. One minute they’re fightin’ off space pirates, the next they’re sittin’ around havin’ a confab like a buncha hens in a henhouse. Can’t make up their minds, it seems.
And this ‘Beacon’ thing? Still don’t know what it does exactly. It’s just…there. Shinin’ bright and lookin’ important. Maybe it’s like one of them fancy newfangled antennas they got now. Picks up signals from far away, I reckon. Or maybe it’s just a shiny light to keep the space bugs away, who knows?
What’s Gonna Happen Next? Don’t Ask Me!
They say this show is gonna have another season. Well, I’ll be! Didn’t think they’d make it past this one with all that talkin’. But I guess folks like them pretty faces and the spaceships. Me too, I suppose. Just wish they’d get on with the story, you know? Less talkin’, more shootin’, that’s what I say.
I heard someone sayin’ this episode wasn’t as good as the last one. Said something about a “love-hate relationship” with the show. Well, I can see that. It’s like eatin’ a persimmon. Sometimes it’s sweet and juicy, sometimes it puckers your mouth right up. This episode was a bit puckery, if you ask me.
But hey, I’m still watchin’. Maybe they’ll get back to the good stuff next time. Maybe they’ll even explain what that beacon thingy does. Or maybe they’ll just keep talkin’. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Land sakes, I hope there ain’t more of those “philosophical” talks next time. Give me a good space brawl any day!
So, that’s my take on episode four. Not the best, not the worst. Just…talky. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens. They make more sense than them space people sometimes.
