BubbleCAN Review: Ben’s City ‘The Carrier’
Spoilers Below
It’s a busy time for Ben and his friends, as challenges fly in left, right and centre this week in “The Carrier”.
When the Airfuse company requests more funding to build the AF 800-ish, the Minister of Industry and Commerce has no choice but to seek guidance from Prime Minister Jack Dwizz.
Dwizz, being the busy man that he is (although I’m convinced he doesn’t like to get his hands dirty), tosses this hot potato to Wallet. Although Wallet is the Minister of Environment, the latest Airfuse (like the Avro Arrow of commercial flights) will be the biggest (and so far, most expensive) plane ever built, and he and Ben feel they have no choice but to see the project through.
Scott also has a full agenda. When Mrs. Shrink worries for her daughter’s future with her dead-beat boyfriend Larry, she pawns her daughter off on Scott to help talk some sense into her. Scott can’t help but tell her to listen to heart. That is until he meets dirt bag Larry in person.
He also has a series of meetings lined up for advertisements for The Psychologists’ Association, which Scott daydreams of hilarious scenarios for the upcoming ads of the effects of parents’ terms of endearments to toddlers.
Scott also eventually produces a commercial for the Airfuse company, starring none other than Gavin McLeod – Captain Stubing of Love Boat fame – endorsing the luxurious sky boat.
As if fretting over funding and completion of the AF800-ish wasn’t enough, one of Sophie’s old flames, Alan the rock star, is in town and asks Sophie out for lunch.
But Ben shouldn’t worry too much, since Sophie has no problem giving Alan a black eye after “presenting himself” to her.
The most suitable aspect of this busy storyline is that the dialogue is so fast-paced that the plot doesn’t really skip a beat. Although hard to follow sometimes, perhaps the original French dialogue may run much smoother. But the advantage of only having this series available online is that it takes no effort to skip back a second or two if viewers need some clarification.
It pays off to be optimistic.
