Love And Decay, Episode Five (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This was the best installment yet of this action packed serial. Regan and Vaughn put their contingency plan into action and head off to locate Hendrix and Nelson. There's no beating around the bush for Regan when Haley informs her that she needs to choose between the boys and Vaughn pretty much does the same. I loved the look into the new "civilized" society that had grown from the destroyed world and I really loved Regan's reactions to it. She continues to be a strong and opinionated girl while managing to maintain her humanity and not get sucked into what could have been an easy life. Kane was just creepy enough that I'm worried about what he's going to do next, but I really enjoyed his conflicted character and I'm hoping we'll see him again. I can't wait to read the next one.*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review AHHHHH!!!! OK, that was so good! Seriously, I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. I loved the little bits of interaction we got between Reagan and Vaughan....got to see a bit more into each of their personalities, and they got to clear some air. It was kind of a weird episode in that it was basically Reagan centric....so I definitely missed Haley and the Parkers, but I LOVED the plot movement, and yet another glimpse of bad bad humanity in the apocalypse that this offered.... I seriously just want to be Reagan's friend....she is so bad ass!! And yet so human too....suffering through all the emotions that make sense. Eminently interested to see where the next ep takes us, and how these new characters fit in. And I have this horrible gut feeling that we haven't seen the last of Kane....who left me as confused as Reagan. OK, thinking about it, maybe a 4.5 stars just b/c I couldn't quite get all the willies she was getting from Kane, and it wasn't quite as clear what his motivations were....sometimes it was a-ok, sometimes I was confused...but maybe I was supposed to be...just wasn't spot on I guess....
