Well, this here’s about that Monarch thing, Episode 5, they call it. “The Way Out”, I reckon. Ain’t much happenin’ this time, just a whole lotta folks runnin’ around like chickens with their heads cut off. That Godzilla, he showed up again, in some old clips. That gal, Cate, she’s seein’ things, rememberin’ bad times. Her and that other gal, May, they just stuck.
This whole Monarch Episode 5 is a mess, I tell ya. It ain’t nothin’ like them old monster movies. They got these folks trapped up in Alaska, in some kinda army place. Cate, bless her heart, she’s just sittin’ there in the corner, all sad and whatnot. She thinks she’s just like her daddy. That ain’t no good.
Then there’s this other fella, Kentaro, I think his name is. He got lost, wandered off on his own. He’s tryin’ to be a big shot, followin’ his gut, they say. Dumb idea, if you ask me. Meanwhile, these Monarch fellas, they got wind of somethin’ goin’ on up in Alaska. Some kinda monster, maybe. They sayin’ there’s some kinda glow, a readin’, I don’t know what all that fancy talk means. Just sounds like trouble to me.
They got some country singers in this too, these Monarch people got a whole family of them. This one gal, Nicky, she’s trying to keep things goin’, singin’ her songs. I don’t know much about country music, but it sounds alright, I guess. Just a whole lotta drama with these folks, always fightin’ and carryin’ on. And then Godzilla, he’s always lurkin’ around. This show’s all over the place, jumpin’ back and forth in time. Fifty years, they say. That’s a long time, even for an old gal like me.
So this fella Shaw, he takes his bunch to some desert, way out in Algeria. They meet up with some other Monarch folks, gettin’ ready for somethin’. Cate, she ain’t so sure about all this. She don’t trust ’em, and I can’t say I blame her. Seems like nobody knows what’s goin’ on, just a whole lotta secrets and lies.
Monarch Episode 5 recap, that’s what they call this whole thing. Well, here’s my recap: it’s a whole lotta nothin’. Just folks runnin’ around, scared of monsters and each other. That Cate, she’s got a good heart, but she’s in a bad way. That Kentaro, he’s just lost. And these Monarch folks, they ain’t no better than a bunch of gossipy hens. They keep talkin’ about Titan this and radioactive that, but I don’t know.
- That Cate gal, she’s havin’ a rough time.
- Kentaro, he’s lost, wanderin’ around alone.
- Monarch folks are chasin’ monsters in Alaska.
- Country singers are singin’ and fightin’.
- Godzilla’s still out there, somewhere.
- Shaw is taking some people to a desert.
- Cate is unsure about working with Monarch people.
This episode, it’s like a pot of beans that’s been simmerin’ too long. All the flavor’s gone, just a mushy mess. They need to get back to the good stuff, the monsters and the fightin’. That’s what folks wanna see, not all this cryin’ and carryin’ on. This Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, it’s got potential, but they need to get their act together.
I don’t know what’s gonna happen next, but I reckon it’ll be more of the same. Runnin’, hidin’, yellin’. Maybe that Godzilla will show up again and stomp on somethin’. That’d be somethin’ to see, at least. But I ain’t holdin’ my breath. This whole thing is just one big headache. This is a recap for Monarch Episode 5, and that’s all I have to say about it.
These young folks today, they don’t know how to tell a good story. Back in my day, we had stories that’d curl your hair. Stories about real monsters, not these fancy computer things. We had monsters about real life, they were scary. This Monarch thing, it’s just a bunch of noise. They need to learn how to tell a story that’ll stick with ya, make ya think. They should have known how to make a better story. This Monarch series is just going nowhere.
This whole episode is like a bad dream, a nightmare you just wanna wake up from. But you can’t, ’cause it’s on your TV, and you already paid for it. So you just gotta sit there and watch it, hopin’ it’ll get better. But it don’t. It just gets worse. Like a pot of burnt beans, it just keeps gettin’ worse, you should throw it out. But you can’t just throw away your TV, can ya? No, you just gotta sit there and take it. And hope that maybe, just maybe, the next episode will be better. I hope the next episode will be better. I really do.
