Review: #Outlands Episode 2

Spoilers Below

Meet 84, a new lady addition to the cast that has been locked up in space all of these years frozen. Having now been freed, she can menstruate all over the ship much to the delight of Ben, Winston, and Hutch. Her name is 84 because she doesn’t remember much post her coming to so that’s what she came up with. Turns out though this bitch knows a whole heck of a lot about the ship like where the armory is and more specifics about the 100 year old mission. On the other hand, Winston’s kinda creeping her out because he’s fallen head over heels so now he’s going to do whatever he can to gain her affection. Soon, Winston goes nuts and he ends up capturing Ben, 84, and even the Sarge but Hutch is able to take off in the escape pod without a scratch.

With the three left on board captured, Winston uses the opportunity to get naked and strut his stuff. But, before he’s able to deliver the final proverbial nail in the coffin, Hutch SHOWS UP ANNNNNND! Doesn’t save the day. Nope, instead he gets caught too, but its cool because Mac saves everyone by taking all of the oxygen out of the ship, knocking out Winston long enough for 84, Ben, and Hutch to escape from their pods. Winston wakes up the next day and claims that his new diet made him nuts so I guess all is forgiven. Either way it looks like the crew have bigger fish to fry when their ship crash lands on what looks to be Saturn.

Felicia Day joins the cast as 84 and does an alright job, but the best part about that is we now have a lady on the premises which is good because Outlands was certainly turning into a sausage fest. Winston sets up a rather surprising turn of events this week, and as a result it has to make you wonder if he’s going to be on his best behavior this time out or is he going to be someone we have to keep our eye on? I would have liked to have seen more gun-play and action, but if the ending is any indication we may be on a collision course with that anyway.
