The Lazarus Undertaking 2.5 was all about Dr. Grey.  And he or she certainly deserves at the very least one episode of focus, being such an important character.

[Spoilers ahead …. ]

We already know she’s constructing an old style H. G. Wellsian time machine.  And Wes needs to kill her earlier than the machine turns into totally operational.  She sends Janet and Ross again to do the job.  However there’s much more to this than meets the attention.

First, Robin appears to be a Grey supporter.  Good, Wes is clearly the villain on this second season, and Robin is the one one who can have at the very least some management over her.

Subsequent, there are, after all, two variations of Janet in play right here. The youthful one who’s despatched again with Ross to kill Kitty Grey, and does.  And the older one who involves know and respect and actually care about Grey.  This older Janet is aware of that stopping her youthful self from killing Grey will upset too many apple carts, however it’s unclear if she will deliver herself to stopping her youthful self from doing the deed.  And we by no means discover out what the older Janet would have executed, as a result of Wes sends the youthful Janet again to kill Grey sooner than she was killed within the authentic actuality (if it makes senses in this type of time journey story to speak about an authentic actuality).

I’ll say, once more, that I believe Grey (performed by Zoe Telford) is an excellent character.   Particularly as a result of, as we discover out on this episode, her motive in inventing a time machine is real love.

See you again right here subsequent week with one other assessment.
