You're probably right.  How did Korg mess up directing the sequel so badly?


This dropped the other week:

I watched:

Fallout (Amazon Prime) - The Target" - Episode 2.  Episode 1 had three 
main characters, "Lucy" (Ella Purnell) a young woman from the Vault 
where a 1950s/1960s style American civilization survived the apocalypse; 
"The Ghoul" (Walton Goggins) who was a pre-war famous actor and somehow 
hundreds of years later he's still alive, more or less; and "Maximus" 
(Aaron Moten) who basically stole a mech suit of armor.  Episode 2 has 
the three characters converging on a small town with each taking an 
interest in a mysterious man played by Michael Emerson.  I know playing 
a mysterious character who knows more than he's letting on is a stretch 
for Emerson, but somehow he pulls it off.

"The Head" - Episode 3 - This felt like filler with no real character 
development or movement, but just stuff happening to fill the running time.
