For all that Griffin was not, in the end he offered a water-logged little clue. And thanks to Ben Stone’s nimble mind and Olive’s considerable skills, the pig that was Griffin (played with joyful self-interest by Marc Menchaca. Loved this character even as I loathed him) told us something about our Flight 828 passengers — […]
Maybe when all is said and done, and the storylines finally come together at season’s end, Dr. Saanvi will have been prophetic when she said, “We’re on the verge of discovering something awful.” I hear and feel you, my dear doctor. Episode 115 of “Manifest,” showed us that “the callings” can be used for good […]
During Monday’s episode of Manifest, I couldn’t help but let out a yell at Michaela Stone (Sorry, Melissa Roxburgh, my devotion to you remains unshaken), as she essentially dropped the bomb of her tryst with Jared to Lourdes, then proceeded to kind of wiggle out of her inability to BS by saying Lourdes already knew. […]
New information, new players, and the lovely reunion of the Stone family highlighted episode 113 of “Manifest.” In truth it was not one of my favorite episodes of the first season, but it moved the story along and included some interesting twists and turns, including the unveiling of an 828 hate group. Interesting how people’s […]
If nothing else, episode 112 of “Manifest” gave us a fun little twist in the “Cal is missing” storyline. As suspected, Cal wasn’t abducted, he took off. But why? Well, as it turns out, Cal’s foray into the woods of upstate New York delivered unto we, the viewers, a nice little zig in the story […]
Well, we sort of knew this was coming, didn’t we? It didn’t seem like too big a stretch to think that Cal was either going to wander off or be taken at some point in the season’s latter parts. And that’s how things ended for episode 111, “Contrails.” But boy, what an interesting way to […]
Well, if nothing else, the wait for the return of “Manifest” was well worth it in terms of some new developments, wasn’t it? Episode 110, “Crosswinds,” sees plenty of new plot developments blowing through the lives of our main Montego Air Flight 828 characters, including the introduction of the ominous-sounding character “the major,” and a […]
Director Vance dead, missing passengers found, relationships breaking, relationships rekindling, and a whole lot of confusion about what comes next. All-in-all a pretty full closet of actions and consequences in the mid-season finale of “Manifest.” It was, in short, a helluva ride. “Manifest” writers and actors, you have my thanks. And with that explosive (literally) […]
After a week off, we got back in the missing passengers saddle with “Manifest” episode 106, “Off Radar.” And while there was plenty of meat on the mystery bone in this one — Cal in the hospital, the Bulgarian search, relationship damage, black ops sites and a naughty giant corporation — perhaps the thing that […]
