“Electro” was a fairly shocking episode, naturally. Eleventh Hour’s openings are getting better and better, showing very unusual events and having more than 30 people die in individual lightning strikes in a five hour thunderstorm would certainly be called unusual.
Naturally, there was an explanation and it was all about nanotechnology. A company trying to further battery technology to bring about better automobiles was responsible for the mess. Well, technically, it was one individual who was sabotaging another scientist’s work who managed to unleash this little virus which was quite unusual.
Rufus Sewell as Dr. Jacob Hood
Instead of the typical cold virus, this virus was metal and pulled everything metallic from the body to further replicate itself, creating a mesh all over the body.
This was another episode with a villain I could have done without. There wasn’t a whole lot of character development there. I wish the villains were as interesting as the victims on Eleventh Hour. They’re disproportionally developed.
That being said, I didn’t find myself quite as attached to the victims in this episode. It may be because the husband was interested in another woman, but then again, I didn’t feel much for the wife either even though she was going through a lot. Neither character was handled particularly well.
Hood and Young weren’t alone this week. Agent Lee (Omar Benson Miller) was back this week. I’m really liking Lee. He’s not always around Hood and Young. When I try to compare him to anyone else on TV, I have to say he’s like the CSI character Captain Jim Brass, who’s always doing a lot of leg work and isn’t always seen with the main stars of the show. I don’t know if Felix Lee will become a regular, but I hope so.
