Ignoring the 'this is art' 10/10 carry on in the reviews Dillahunt again remains the most interesting character in this series. He's likable and admirable, something missing from most every other character on this series and in the general spectrum of what passes for modern film making.
All his parts were great, he delivered on every scene and made perfect sense.
What didn't make perfect sense was Virginia.
So she killed off her useful and efficient Ranger because he was having a relationship with a woman in the camp? Is that the main crux of Virginia? She doesn't want anyone to be in a relationship with anyone, because? Why?
Then she brutally kills off his girlfriend, because,... why? Is it an established rule that no one in the new world is to be getting it on? How's that going to work out for replacement generations? If it's an established rule then why the big murder mystery carry on. why not just execute them both for breaking the rules.? Why was Virginia hiding that she executed the ranger. Rules is rules, if it is a rule?
It did lead to a complex 'win' for John Dorie, where he benefits from the injustice where he was prepared to give up his relationship and prospects with June for doing the right thing, but then he doesn't follow through on that when he finds out what really happened and the brutality and cruelty of Virginia. It didn't make any sense. Why? What's Virginia's plan. Why when John Dorie was willing to sacrifice his life to do the right thing, did he suddenly not do that and take the level up key from Virginia?
How does Virginia find enough time to have her nose in everyone's personal life and still have enough time and energy to manage an empire?
Why the split up and no contact rule between couples?
It makes no sense and the rest including Garret Dillahunt's detailed an engaging character amount to nothing. A well rendered empty picture.
