Review: Major Lazer ‘THROWBACK THURSDAYS’

I like making shadow puppets, too

Spoilers Below

Major Lazer has to go back and time and stop Lady Rothchild from fucking shit up because it’s causing zombie invasions. Major’s first stop is a confrontation with President Whitewall because he was supposedly the last one whom saw her. We find out that Lady is chilling with a kidnapped Adam and Eve with a goal to re-write history. A fight ensues between Lazer and Lady that takes us through a multi-verse until the end of time. Rothchild gives up, Major Lazer gets back to present day and falls asleep.

Our Take

If Charlie XCS ever wanted to get out of music, she certainly has a future as a voice actor because she was really, really good as Lady Rothchild. So much so that I think the major draw back with this week’s episode is we didn’t have enough dialogue between the two. Moreover, the confrontation between Major Lazer and Whitewall was really the first-time we saw these guys go head-to-head all season, so a lot of shit went down on ‘Throwback Thursdays’.

If we were talking fishin’, I wouldn’t throwback this week’s episode, but I’m not sure I’d cook this as a main course. A bit more meat on the bones could’ve done this one a long way, but with just enough to give us what we want. A lot of the rules for time-travel were broken, so if you’re a sci-fi die-hard you may be perturbed, but for all others we get a solid episode of Major Lazer. 

Score
