What’s Bourne/What’s Left Behind
Episode 9 of Another Life Season 2 starts with Niko and Richard blasting off at hyper-speed, using the power core obtained to fuel their trip back home. When they finally slow down, they zero in on the location of this latest Artifact, with Niko convinced that this must be held on a planet with breathable oxygen because the other planets they’ve visited have done too. ..
Meanwhile, Zayn, Dillon and Bernie are all captured after broadcasting a video about them at the government base. It’s caused quite the ruckus and while they’re interrogated, Cas and Eric manage to find their way aboard the Salvare. Or at least the half that’s made it back to Earth at least. As they hunt for William, our AI companion happens to be off with Seth.
Niko and Richard find themselves on a planet with strange symbols on the wall and corpses hidden under glass. It seems as if this is a graveyard of some description. They are looking for clues to what happened here.
As they enter the other side of the door, they are met with a bright light and an overwhelming sense of warmth. Seth struggles to adjust to this new environment, feeling as though he is being pulled into a warm embrace.
William decides to double-cross Eric and encourages him and Cas to join Seth in the lab. Eventually armed guards show up, not taking no for an answer.
With Jana’s life on the line, Eric agrees to let Seth add an implant into his head. One of the spiders comes crawling out across the table, while Seth incapacitates his body while he projects into the ship with Niko and Richard. He shows a doorway straight across to Earth, opening the bridge to let the pair through.
William hacks into the Achaian spider in order to buy Niko and Richard some time. ..
Niko and Richard make it back to Earth in one piece, but William makes it back safe and sound too. In the process, he thwarted Seth’s threat completely.
Eric and William discuss using a neutrino weapon in order to stop the Achaia. However, it is not complete.
The Salvare, an Achaian ring, heads straight for Eric and William. Eventually, the ship blows up, leaving those on Earth watching in horror. ..
The Episode Review
After following their breadcrumb trail of sub-quests, Niko and Richard finally make it back to Earth. However, they’ve also brought the Achaians with them it would seem, leaving doubts over the safety of everyone on our planet.
The season has been gearing up for the Achaians vs Earth fight, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like we’ll have much time for actual fighting this season. If there is any at all, that is. ..
This season of “Game of Thrones” has been plagued by poor writing and characterization, with no payoff for the deaths of key characters. This has led to widespread dissatisfaction among fans, who are now asking why they should continue watching. ..
Another Life is still not great and with only one episode to go, will this one end on another cliffhanger? We’ll have to wait and see.
