Binge. 52 weeks. 24×7

One Jason, One Slow Hour. Emotional, But Where Does It Fit?

B52 rating: 5.5/10

This was quite a boring episode, although I found it better than the previous one. At least the writers tried something different by focusing on a single Jason and his life, so we didn't have to keep track of a dozen alternate versions for once. His story was emotional in places, and Joel Edgerton did a good job carrying the episode.

But I kept wondering how all this fits into the larger story. After spending the first four episodes building up the multiverse plot, poorly, this felt like a sudden detour into the life of a completely new Jason. The episode also moves at a very slow pace, making its one-hour runtime feel longer than necessary.

I can appreciate the attempt to do something different, but I am not yet convinced that this storyline adds enough to justify the diversion. Given how convoluted the season has already become, I hope this doesn't complicate things even further. 5.5/10.
