My Review of Now Apocalypse's 1x09: "Disappear Here"

Written by Gregg Araki & Karley Sciortino
Directed by Gregg Araki

Isaac (to Ulysses): "This day and age, say what you're looking for. If you're not a match, move on."

On one hand, that's great advice but on the other hand, the more the show talks about Ulysses and Isaac rushing into things, the more likely they're going to implode pretty fast, which is a shame as out of the three main romances on the show, theirs is the only one I actually care about. Also, Isaac really does seem like ideal boyfriend material and Ulysses is a better person now that he's not getting as high as he used to.

Of course with Ulysses and Isaac eating take out, spending more time with each other and the former being given a key to the latter's place, it'll be a shame to see this pairing end as we've only gotten to the beginning whereas the other two relationships at least have had more time to naturally devolve over the course of the season.

Carly and Jethro seem barely able to make small talk with one another since their sex party incident and when Leif reappear, Carly did seem to have more chemistry with him than her long suffering boyfriend. Saying that, she did seem rather taken aback by Leif's own rule book on what constituted as cheating and so on.

Then there was the cam girl stuff. Naturally we had to have Jethro find out about Carly's other job and needless to say, this episode didn't disappoint there. Will this be the thing that breaks them up for good? Er, probably I guess.

Keeping with the devolving relationships, Ford and Severine definitely seem like they'll break up. He didn't exactly take her news about having to relocate to Roswell, New Mexico pretty well and Severine herself didn't waste time sleeping with Klaus and Lars. Even Ford was nearly tempted to sleep with a random woman he met at a cafe during the episode as well.

- Carly managed to bag herself a meeting with Starz while her Sluts webcam series has about 600,000 views now.
- One of the few episodes that didn't end with Ulysses seeing something or having sex with someone.
- More mentioning from Isaac about his clients getting attacked by aliens.
- Chronology: Three days since the previous episode.

Disappear Here would've been better titled Devolving Relationships given that two relationships imploded and the only one really worth watching was hinted at possibly imploding as well. Still though, it's a pretty solid episode.

Rating: 7 out of 10
