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 […]
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 […]
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) […]
I called it last week and all my dreams would appear to be coming true as episode 109 of “Manifest” delivered further confirmation that Ben Stone and Director Vance are in this thing together. The bromance (which we’ll call “Stance” or perhaps “Bance) began brewing last week and came to a boil in an episode […]
I told you Director Vance was going to start coming to light. His curiosity has been piqued by Ben Stone and the more he spies on Ben and his movements, the more he’s lured into the belief that there’s “off the books” at work in his midst. And he’s not down with that. I’m delighted. […]
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 […]
First and foremost let me say that I love backstory – love it. And in a wonderful mode of storytelling, the writers of Ep. 105 of ‘Manifest’ gave me a lot to like. Titled ‘Connecting Flights,’ which is a bit of a play on words for the episodes new mantra, “It’s all connected,” this episode […]
It would appear that time travel, or time loss, is appealing to television fans as NBC’s freshman effort, “Manifest,” has just gotten an order for three more episodes, bringing its total inaugural effort to 16 episodes. The show has become an instant hit and looks like it should be well on its way to a […]
Towards the end of episode 104 of Manifest, Ben Stone asks the question that seems to be more and more central to this show – should the passengers keep listening to “the calling” of the voices they hear and the apparitions they are starting to see? When Michaela Stone posits the theory that they don’t […]
