Review of Fear Itself by JayPea

16 September 2024

Wow, that was a better boogieman than Series 1/14 /hj

In all seriousness, this is a fine story, I like the mini character development for Darius (I remember his name!) in having a fear of enclosed spaces, which is very fun put next to The Professor having a fear of the outdoors. The stuff they did with Drake as well was pretty neat to see (is this the reveal of his robot hand/arm, or am I not remembering it before?)

The main issue is that while the central thread should work in theory, a robot learning emotions, it doesn't really work with K-9 specifically, and K-9's fear doesn't seem believable for the character. Also, they forgot the first act? I mean it was there, but it was like 3 minutes of the whole episode (including the intro)

4/10
