Closing the Distance
hellraiser715 April 2020
This is my third favorite episode of the show, it's sort of "Earth 2" doing "Predator". This is also part 2 in the Julia arc.

I really like those sniping sequences with the bullet, which I'll admit are the most suspenseful moments ever, it really put me on the edge of my seat. As we hear the bullet just whizzing closer and closer toward the Eden group. It was kind of nail biting because you just know someone in the group is going to get hit but you don't know who. I also like how the suspense is increased as we discover the bullets have a fail-safe mechanism where after a certain amount of time the bullets rotate, they detonate, which make this not just a sniping thriller but a time bomb thriller.

Julia I honest don't think is evil, the problem with her is that she's playing for the wrong team, her loyalties are in the wrong place, as they're with people who are by their very nature untrustworthy. The whole theme in the episode is about redemption, for Julia to close the distance she's created.

Really liked seeing how she is steadily working with the group to figure out what the Sniper is and stopping him. I also like how throughout her investigation as she is finding out more about the Zed, she is also finding out a little more about the organization she served and how corrupt they may 'be as they seem to have something rotten planed for Eden group to accomplish their goals.

I even like how we also get a little clue into the history of what happened on Earth One before Eden group arrived on Earth Two, it really gave a hint showing how things may have turned for the worse on that planet, with the existence of the Z.E.D. s it shows that there must have been some sort of war that occurred which may have been one of the partial causes why Earth One is now in ruin.

Will Julia and the rest of Eden group be able to hunt the Z.E.D. down before it hunts them, and will Julia walk her path of redemption? You'll have to wait and find out.

Rating: 3 and a half stars
