For the duration of Lobo, I have always found delight in its well-written plot, the whirl of emotions successfully delivered from the characters when the situation calls it, and the daily gulp of mystery.
However, for tonight’s episode, the story dipped down the toilet a bit and it is all thanks to the scene where Rodolfo barges into Noah’s home looking to avenge the death of his brother, Raul.
First of all, why did Raul, out of the blue, lunge after Gabby? Hell, why was he even there in the first place? He should have stayed close to Nessa while waiting for Rodolfo and the other black lobo to bite Lyka, but instead, he somehow mysteriously appeared before Noah’s team of soldiers while they were capturing Alec. Then he does the dumbest thing ever which is attack Gabby, only to have himself shot to death by Noah. There should be a smilie face that smacks itself on the head because that’s the only thing that expresses how dumb this episode got.
So obviously, Rodolfo goes to Noah’s home only to find Zoey and Tikboy there. By this time, I was thinking of the worse. As much as I rag on Zoey, I don’t want her to die because it would just increase the levels of sadness and Noah’s hate for the lobo (to the point where he may never accept Lyka). (Tally: his father, dead; Leon, dead). I was literally screaming at my television for Lyka to appear, and it’s a damn good thing she did.
Here’s the part where I thought the show lost all sanity: Lyka gets out of the taxi, hears Zoey and Tikboy screaming, and instead of using her speed to quickly save them from whatever that was happening, she goes and fights Rodolfo’s pack of wolves of first. LYKA, you’re the freaking huling bantay — with one nudge of the elbow, people go splattering on the floor, for God’s sakes (e.g, Noah, Alec, the black lobo mother to name a few). Instead, you use up the time by kicking butt first. OH come on! How freaking dumb was that?
Then when Lyka’s done doing that, she still doesn’t use her speed to go to Zoey. Instead, Angel Locsin strikes a pose and does a freaking “sexy-bad-girl” walk like she’s on a damned runway. *rolls eyes* So finally, when Lyka reaches the room, she sees Rodolfo suffocating Zoey in mid-air (who is still surprisingly alive after all that time wasted), and once again, Lyka waits and does nothing but talk Rodolfo out of it. HELLO? You can just push Rodolfo away so Zoey can get some air, and then you can talk to him. Good God. You don’t see Clark talking the villain out of killing Lana/Lois/Chloe right? NO! He uses his super speed to quickly save his friends. Dumbest scene ever; I absolutely hated it.
There were other things that really bit the dust in this episode, but the aforesaid scene was just the crap topper (as opposed to “cherry on top”).
