As Hubris Is to Oedipus
bobcobb30113 March 2022
The show is really pushing the boundaries of logic, and yet Wheatley continues to be an entertaining enough villain that we can overlook those flaws and just enjoy the show.

Vision Project: Welcome to the Promised Land

OC's Law and Order series has a different feel. I loved the style, movement, energy, Stabler charisma, special shots of the series in the second season.

The exploitation of cyber and organized crime and legal networks makes the series powerful. I enjoy watching.

We watched how organized forces control and use cybers in the background. It's nice that they wrote about a darkness of the dark web, what's behind the iceberg.

I knew as soon as it appeared that there was a reference to Mcclane and Die Hard John Mcclane. Indeed, this episode is like a reference to die hard 3... exciting bomb chases... It was just Weatley Gruber, Jeremy Irons. Mcclane was Stabler.

However, It didn't make sense for the pirate mcclane to threaten Weatley with Angela. It made even more sense that Mcclane was deceived by this. Therefore, his shock at the end was also pointless.

Here, too, Stabler proved his Countship of Monte Cristo by rescuing a lovely young girl. We also watch Wheatley's Oedipus arrogance rising.

I think this part could have been handled more solidly and stronger. Again, I watched a time-lapse video that was packed into a single episode.

I wish they would have continued the excitement by extending one more chapter with tension and uncertainty.

Despite everything, I liked the action and excitement of this episode.

Loved it!

After a long break, tonight's episode was spectacular. There were so many scenes that were action-packed and filled with plot twists.

Tonight's episode did not disappoint me. However, the latest SVU episode disappointed me.

Boring

Get over this storyline. Tedious. Dramatic beyond realism. Constant road blocks are frustrating. Don't really care about of them. I love chris meloni. But it's too depressing seeing the constant struggle. Better story lines needed.

Decent episode - Unnecessary racism
Salenzar29 March 2022
This episode as a whole was pleasant to watch. The plot was consistent with the previous episodes and the dramatic flair was there as always.

I just do not see how it is acceptable to have a line such as, "Never underestimate the sheer audacity of a white man with nothing to lose," included in the middle of an episode for no apparent reason.

Richard Wheatley's race is not an relevant factor to the decisions he has made thus far, and has absolutely nothing to do with the situation that was taking place at the moment. That line was an unnecessary instance of racism that quite frankly broke the intensity and realism of the scene, two aspects of dramatic television that Law and Order is known for.
