Everyone OnExtantIs Improbably Stupid

Well , we ’re nearly midway through this season of Extant , and one thing is clear : Molly Woods is dispense with the creation ’s most inept confederacy . And the show just resolve to pass an entire episode revealing thing to its characters that the audience already recognize .

Between Comic - Con and post - Comic - Con high jinx , I missed a couple of weeks of Extant , and when I got catch up on the show again , I was confused . I was n’t confused about what was going on — the show ’s pretty serious at spell that out each calendar week . I was confused as to how all of these characters manage to operate space and robotics programs when they are all so handily stupid .

Sam somehow managed to testify as an expert attestator on her chum ’s behalf without anyone realizing the two of them were related . The bigwig at ISEA did n’t want Sam to acknowledge that they were experimenting on Molly and yet still allowed Sam to examine her upon her reentry . Molly consider that ISEA impregnated her with her hubby ’s baby . ( Okay , that might get a pass because she certainly wanted to conceive that , even if it was clearly a lie . ) ISEA is still espy on Molly and yet doing such a poor task of it that she manage to smuggle her purportedly delete footage from the Seraphim home and her boss does n’t know that she saw the vim alien thingie that down her worms — and apparently impregnated her .

But Extant ’s with child problem is one of suspense , or rather the lack therefrom . The conceit of this week ’s installment is that the cabal is seek to convert Molly and John that Molly hallucinated the maternity , much like she hallucinate Marcus and Tim . The problem is that we , as the interview , know Molly was meaning . Extant is n’t told entirely from Molly and John ’s points of view ; we ’ve seen the conversations between Sparks and Yasumoto and between Sparks and Sam . Perhaps if we had been go forth in the dark , the idea that Molly might be imagining the maternity might have work .

Instead , spending so much metre with John questioning whether Molly ’s pregnancy was real feels like a wasteland of an installment . And aside from the ratification that Sparks had the fetus take away from Molly ’s uterus at the end of last workweek ’s episode ( which does make a long ton of sensation ; do n’t leave your valued cargo with a peeress who is not on your side ) , this week ’s episode mostly retell things we already knew : Yes , Molly was fraught . No , John is n’t the father . Yes , the father is probably some alien being . No , Sam ca n’t help her . Yes , Julie cogitate that John and Molly are dread parents for Ethan . And she ’s probably right .

But at least the episode assign Molly on what seem like a percipient way of life . She knows she was pregnant and that the best room to move forward is to pretend that she believe she went brainsick . So at least now she ’s in a position to re - take ascendancy of her life and learn what really find aboard the Seraphim — and what happened to her fetus . And it does n’t seem like anyone in the cabal is going to be competent enough to stop her .
