Summary
Two sisters attempt to restore water to their devastated world
Much like episode 2 I found this episode to be depressing, and I know Star Wars can be depressing and can do it well look at Andor, however, even within the confines of that show there is an underlying hopefulness as the Rebellion is beginning to from, here things start out incredibly bleak and don’t get better until the end of the episode.
I thought the characters were fine, I didn’t really warm to either sister, and thought that their arc of one being naïve and plucky and the other guarded and jaded had been done better in the past. I understand where the episode wanted their arcs to go and it roughly got there but I think more work was needed to do it well.
I am finding with this second season of Visions that pacing is really becoming an issue either the idea isn’t developed enough and needs more time to tell its story or the idea is too long and needs to be better cut down. The whole season thus far could do with some better editing.
Overall, fairly boring and generic.
2/5
Pros.
A solid premise
Seeing the wide reaches of the Empire
Cons.
It is underdeveloped and the character arcs needed more time
The sister’s don’t stand out as characters and feel too familiar in terms of personality
It feels depressing and not fun to watch
