The third episode of the final season ofLocke & Keyis such a prime example of this shows inconsistency.
Yes, Dodge is back!
That little scamp Bode is hearing the whispers again as the episode opens.
He finds a key on a Joker card and smiles.
Is he now the Joker?
Does he now live in a society?
Meanwhile, it looks like Kinsey and Bode have discovered the damage thats been done to the well house.
As she says, it took serious demon strength.
Didnt they set up an awful mother character for Eden last season?
Yes, she was shallow, but would she really not contact anyone if her daughter went missing entirely?
He worries that Nina will forget about their dad, Rendell (Bill Heck).
He starts by trying to find the Timeshift Key so he can go back and visit his father.
Suddenly, the mood shifts when Nina spots herself pouring a drink around the campfire.
The scenes of Ninas addiction feel deeply manufactured and arguably too safe.
Wasnt that on one of the cosplayers who broke into the house during the wedding?
His guns are still in a case there!
Would they still work?
And then things finally get fun and the episode is saved!
Suddenly, there are two Bodes in the scene.
Is he gonna Butterfly Effect the crap out of everyone?
Hes not completely right.
Dodge tries to get the Timeshift Key from Bode, chasing him down the hall.
Just as the timer goes off, Bode wakes up in the foyer.
It looks like he made it home safe.Boom.
Lets get Dodge back into this endgame.
She hunts Bode through the house and the little scamp fakes dead by the ghost door it backfires.
Dodge pushes Bode through the door and then jumps through it herself.
She then flings her ghost self back through the door but into Bodes body!
Dodge gets to cosplay as the most annoying Locke!
Its a major unexpected twist that will clearly change the entire arc of the series.
Could that be foreshadowing for Ellie and Rufuss arc this season?
A moment of appreciation for a great character actor who should have a bigger fan base.
Anyone else liking the shorter episodes?
