The quality does not improve in this rather tiresome and annoying episode in which the British government being colonial only dilutes the conflict rather than intensifying it.
They continue to be none too subtle as a hand on the womb (seriously?) is used to convey pregnancy.
It's hard to know whom I dislike more: the irritatingly cantankerous people or the officious government officials. By all means keep an eye on strange events but this is just not the story I wanted to be told and feels over all like filler.
Ultimately too much is shown when it should have been implied.
And I really, really hate it when they super-impose the date. It's just such lazy writing...convey a time lapse through intelligent writing and direction. As if to be especially insulting they actually specify "two weeks since the black-out" or however long it was. Pick one, dude, or ideally none at all. They didn't even call it "the day out" like in the book. I mentioned in my review for the first episode I'd be "that guy".
I just feel annoyed and strung along by the whole thing.
