Yeah, Simon's going to be a vampire we get it. Then there's the whole tasting of blood when his bandmate, who at this points is so irrelevant cuts herself. It's an absolute nerd flip out, as Simon compares Jace to someone who used to bully him at school. Jace has no patience as Simon storms out. Simon has managed to survive his capture by the vampires or has he? He goes into a rage when Clary turns to Jace to help her find Magnus Bane and once again begins insisting that they don't need the Shadowhunters. Yeah we get it just move on with the damn story again.įinally, we come to Simon. Look how easily she defeated the memory demon to save Jace. So, we all know that Clary is the super special chosen one. In the garage, where Clary steps in to save a warlock child, the shadowhunters don't even break a sweat. At every turn each and every one one of Valentine's minions is easily defeated. I have to say that for a guy that everyone is supposed to fear, he seems to have the most incompetent people working for him. So Valentine is still on the hunt for the mortal cup. I feel like I am being hit over the head with Alec's love for Jace and wonder if the writers have ever heard of subtlety. It makes sense given the bond that Alec and Jace have that his memory would be of Jace. It was a memory of Jace, not a fantasy that involved revealing his sexuality. Having his memory of a loved one taken from Alec was enough for him to break the circle and endanger his team. For his part, Alec has been all too obvious of his distrust of Clary which reads as simple jealousy.
Readers of the books are all too aware of the relationship which develops between Magnus and Alec. took it too far, even though I did giggle when he asked if Alec is a flower or cologne man.
I get that he is supposed to be eccentric but I think that Harry Shum Jr. This is the most we have seen of Magnus Bane so far. I suppose even the writers don't trust the actors to properly portray sexual attraction. Having Isabelle quip that Clary is lucky that she is so flat chested that she doesn't have to wear a bra to call attention that Clary does indeed have breasts and that Jace has noticed them was just too much. In all fairness however, the actors really aren't helped by the obviously bad writing. It's worth noting that shirtless Jace, no matter how nice the abs, is not enough to make me forget how bad of an actor that Dominic Sherwood is. All of it is badly acted and all of it is overly obvious. Then there's Clary stumbling over her words when she sees a shirtless Jace and his smirk when he recognizes how flustered she is.
Watching Clary pretend to flail from a bad dream and Jace continue to glower suggests that more than anything, these actors are in desperate need of an acting class. I didn't think it was possible but this episode proves it.
#SHADOWHUNTERS SEASON 1 EPISODE 4 RAISING HELL SERIES#
Most people get better as they repeat an action but I think the actors in this series are actually getting worse. I barely made it through this hour and only the force of my enormous will stopped me from drinking for the pain. That's more punishment than most people deserve. I think that rather than placing prisoners in solitary confinement, we should just force them to watch this episode on a loop for 24 hours.
