Los Ciegos

Admittedly I sat down to watch last night’s episode with a I-hope-this-gets-a-hell-of-a-lot-better attitude. C’mon… impress me.

It did not. The whole episode revolved around the group being stalked by a jungle tribe while most of the group starts facing temporary blindness induced by tree spores. All of this done before and none of it getting me especially engaged. I could care less about any of the characters. Scary? Hardly.

This particular episode seemed to take a break from its main drive to search for Dr. Cole. That doesn’t help the momentum. Brought that to a screeching halt.

And I’ll say it again and again, until the asshat studio’s get THE SHAKY CAM SUCKS!!! Enough. More scenes that just give you a headache. I mean, I’m looking away from the screen. Is that what they want? I don’t think so.

And since I was rather bored with show, it only highlighted the absurdity of filming certain scenes. Two scenes stand out. The group splits up and 3 of the members are soon chased by the tribe. Several times the angle of the camera is from someone who is not there, they treat the scene like a fourth person perspective.

An unintentional funny scene is when AJ Poulain (camera crew member), has crawled into a tiny hole under a tree, and somehow the camera catches his face crawling in and where he is crawling too… at the same time. So the camera has backwards facing lens? But the funny comes in when he starts to get buried, a tribe member yanks him out from underneath, flinging him about, near subconscious, and he is still holding the camera… pointed at him… when he wakes up… he continues to hold and point the camera at himself while he comes out of his fog.
Just plain stupid.

I may give this one more shot, but if it’s as stupid and/or boring, I’m done.
