Welcome Back The Ark<\/a> fans,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The third episode of season two is aptly named \u201cAnomaly\u201d following the incident at the end of last week\u2019s episode \u201cKill or Be Killed\u201d when Alicia Nevins (Stacey Read) was attacked by an unusual space creature that looks similar to a lightning bolt with deadly tentacles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This followed the decision by Captain Sharon Garnet (Christie Burke<\/a>) to not put Kelly Fowler (Samantha Glassner<\/a>) to death for the two murders she was involved with. The majority of the crew, especially the Ark creator, William Trust (Paul Leonard Murray<\/a>) question this decision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did Captain Garnet show sympathy to Kelly and not place her out an airlock for eventual biological digestion as fertilizer for the plant for being grown on Ark-1? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because Captain Garnet knows that poor Kelly has been genetically manipulated and subsequently badgered, in fact harassed by the new vile villain of the series, Evil Evelyn Maddox (Jelena Stupljanin<\/a>). Evil Evelyn is portrayed delightfully, in fact devilishly against Kelly, so much that fans of the series, much like Captain Garnet, also feel sorry for Kelly who attempts to commit suicide during the episode.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is much to be said that this is, sadly, the last broadcast Space Opera. Featuring a story arc that hinges on an ecological disaster caused by humankind that has befallen Earth as delineated in season one, those fortunate enough to escape the calamity on Earth now face disaster after disaster on Ark-1. <\/span><\/span>Ark-1 faces the greatest threats to their survival superseded only by fate of Ark-3 wherein almost all the passengers were killed, including Security Chief Felix Strickland (Pavle Jerinic<\/a>) own child. Kelly, who was on a mission for Evil Evelyn to find a cure for her disease, escaped alive. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the exception of one crew member of Ark-1 killed in the episode, all the remaining main characters including Lt. Spencer Lane (Reece Ritchie<\/a>), Lt. James Brice (Richard Fleeshman<\/a>), Dr. Sanjivni Kabir (Shalini Peiris<\/a>), Angus Medford (Ryan Adams<\/a>) and, Eva Markovic (Tiana Upcheva<\/a>), Sasha Novak (Milos Cvetkovic<\/a>), Jelena Griff (Tamara Radovanovic<\/a>), Naomi Spencer (Jessica Yemi<\/a>) and new crew additions Dr. Marsh (Jadran Malkovich<\/a>) and Kimi Joma (D\u00edana Bermudez<\/a>) who have thankfully survived. The best news is that both Angus and Dr. Kabir recover from their injuries suffered earlier at the end of season one<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The third episode which was directed by Milan Todorovic<\/a> and was co-written by John-Paul Nickel<\/a>, Jonathan Glassner<\/a>, and India Sage Wilson<\/a> opens with Captain Garnet and Lt. Spencer and another crewman walking down the hallway with the \u201cAnomaly\u201d observed moving in and out of the walls of Ark-1.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The scene shifts to Kelly who has been locked up per Captain Garnet\u2019s orders. The electrical being enters her cell but does not bother Kelly. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead the creature attacks a wall outlet junction box that holds the electronic locking mechanism to Kelly\u2019s cell. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It becomes obvious that the creature is attracted to power sources, not human beings. The door suddenly springs open allowing Kelly to escape her confinement cell.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We segue to the medical bay where Dr. Kabir has regained consciousness thanks to the helpful guidance of Dr. Marsh and Jelena Griff who has been assigned there until all injured parties have been released for duty. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Both doctors discuss that no more pain killers can be given to Dr. Kabir due to her addiction the substances as we discovered last season. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead Dr. Marsh massages Dr. Kabir\u2019s shoulders to help ease Dr. Kabir’s obviously still painful injuries.

Next we are with Eva and Lt Brice who have just finished making love proving that physical pleasure is a much needed stress relief on Ark-1. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Eva indicates that they have been having sex for some time, likely often from the tone of her voice. Brice tries to say he loves Eva in her native language, but was tricked by Sasha into saying to Eva that she \u201chas a cheese head\u201d<\/em>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After giggling about Sasha\u2019s mischief, both obviously love each other and without doubt these two will likely be among the first to bring new life to Ark-1 in the form of a bundle of joy if they keep it up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Another aspect of the surviving crew focuses on the interaction between Felix and Kimi who wants her security stun baton stick back since Captain Garnet has ordered that a close eye be kept on the untrustworthy (pun intended) William Trust. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Captain Garnet orders Felix, who is experiencing trust issues, to return the stun baton to Kimi so that she can be able to protect herself in case William Trust tries anything untoward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
