Eleventh Hour: “Medea”

My review of the apparent season finale of Eleventh Hour’s first season, “Medea,” is up at Tor.com.

I thought it couldn’t possibly be the season ender, and then they started a new somethingsomething-week series in its time slot, so I guess that WAS the season ender and Eleventh Hour decided to go out with an episode that did not even have a science crime. It was a kidnapping. Period. Also, Agent Marley got shot in the ass with an arrow. Way to wrap it up with a bang, show!

Also, that was the picture released as promo for the season finale. They might as well have captioned it, “Dr. Rufus Sewell and The Great Googly must solve a kidnapping and rescue Agent Marley.”

For the next season of this show, here’s what I would like to see:

- A show that does not suck.

Think about that over the summer, okay, writers? I mean, either you go all the way with the frozen head thing and make this show the best camp on television, or you develop some actual characters over the break so that science crime is explored, not just solved. For you guys, maybe the frozen head thing is best.
