She’s in Athens to tell Jason all this, which she does exactly as I just did, only with way less of a reliance on keeping the reader-or in her case, the viewer-interested in anything she’s saying. One of the film’s first real conversations, as in multiple words exchanged between two actors, occurs during a riot in Athens, in which Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) arranges a surreptitious meet-up with her old golf buddy, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), who is, now that he’s resurfaced, once again being pursued by the CIA because the CIA is again involved in pretty much the exact same kind of super-soldier program that once birthed Jason Bourne out of the husk of David Webb (Bourne’s real name), whose father, Nikki learned because she’s a hacker, founded the original program that basically ended his son’s life. What is entirely expendable is language-like actual words spoken by actors. It’s basically the same thing Greengrass did in Captain Phillips (good) and Green Zone (bad) and will always do to varying degrees of success, to the extent that any new Paul Greengrass movie, like Jason Bourne, will only be a laser-focused refining rather than anything surprising or remotely new or whatever qualities mark growth in a once-refreshing artistic voice. What works and what has arguably gotten it this far is stripping Doug Liman’s spy and action dude tropes down to nothing more than a complex web of cause-and-effect, fueled by Greengrass’s now patented shaky-cam crutch, which, depending on your gastrointestinal constitution, is either an immersive quality, or a nauseating one. This being the fifth Bourne film and Paul Greengrass’s third, the director by now knows intimately well what works for the franchise, what’s gotten it this far, and what is entirely expendable. It’s come to my attention that Paste has not reviewed Jason Bourne, and as I should be regarded as Paste’s Resident Matt Damon Expert, then it is up to me to rectify this oversight.

Season 2 Schedule No.Ĥ.Each week or so, Dom plumbs the depths of podcast nation to bring you the best in cinema-related chats and programs. No, the series is not on a break and will continue to air according to the schedule. Season 2, Episode 11 Release DateĮpisode 11 of the Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 series, titled “Metamorphosis”, has been released on Wednesday, at 12:00 am PDT. Stay tuned for the next week for things to unravel even further!Ĭrosshair | Source: IMDb 2. The makers need to up their game now that we are at the season’s business end. How will the Bad batch react now that Omega is not with them? Will the connection between Rex and Cody become a permanent affair? I would also like to see Omega flourish in the new environment. Are they being mutated by the Empire? Will we see the formation of the dark troopers? It will be cool if the makers follow this chain of thought! In the last week’s episode, they discussed some changes or mutations. The clone conspiracy is flying high, and the next episode’s events might pave the way for something very dark. The makers must’ve taken inspiration from Kafka’s famous novella, Metamorphosis, regarding how someone deals with change.Īlso, the title might refer to the paradigm shift in the mentality of the clones. I think ‘Metamorphosis’ is related to Crosshair and his quest to get a grip on himself.Īs of now, he is just a confused character, torn between the Bad Batch and the Empire. It’s high time the makers bring him into the picture. He has not even featured in the mid-season finale. We last saw him in episode 3, following Rampart’s orders with Commander Cody. Will that be a change in one of the characters? Or, perhaps in the Empire? Will We see a paradigm shift in the behavior of the clones? The possibilities are endless!Ĭrosshair has now been absent for eight episodes straight. It describes a process, i.e., a change happening, and not just an event that will be taking place like the previous episodes. Metamorphosis is unlike any title we’ve had in this season. Next week’s episode is called ‘Metamorphosis’, and the title tells me much about the plot. Season 2, Episode 11 Synopsis/Speculation
