The Franchise Recap: Sparks Will Fly


Mutiny threatens a Tecto night shoot and rumors of Christopher Nolan visiting the set freak out Eric.

Dag has emerged as a shrewd operator, endearing herself to all of Tecto ’s power brokers, and indeed anyone that floats through who could advance her career; in a world wherein your colleagues will happily smile in your face while they stick the dagger in, it helps that she is down to Earth and, fundamentally, nice. I still don’t feel like I care all that much about any of the tertiary characters because they are only afforded slivers of development and are sort of uninteresting — for one example, Steph’s will-they won’t-they arc with the Mollusk Man is a little boring, although that is offset by the fact that Jessica Hynes plays her, and I’m a huge Spaced fan — but I think, of the lot, Bryson is the most endearing. A chance he is afforded when he successfully marshals the night shoot — which swiftly threatens to fall apart at the seams, not least thanks to Pat winning the crew raffle set up to bolster morale — in Eric’s absence, who disappears to his trailer after the threat of insurrection reaches fever pitch.
