Hopefully you noticed that last week there was no new entry in KM UK’s Summer Of HD for Reverie‘s 3rd episode. You did notice, right?
Unfortunately Kathryn wasn’t in ‘No More Mr Nice Guy’, but, as we got to see in ‘Blue Is The Coldest Color’, there is something of Miss Nice Lady in Monica Shaw.
The story in this one was an interesting twist on the normal. The protagonist is crippled by anxieties and can’t leave his house. He’s using a stolen Onira Tech (the VR company the show is set around) implant so he can immerse himself in worlds of his own making. The one highlight of his real life is seeing the little girl and her mother from next door. They are sort of friends, despite his issues. Poor guy right? But he’s using the VR to try and do a good thing to help the little girl, who it turns out needs unobtainable medicine. The guy isn’t using the tech to escape his own existence but to over come debilitating fears and to help someone else.
How can Sarah Shahi’s Mara and the team not help him? Even DoD hardcase Monica can see a little way past possible new money making uses for the VR to the good it can do.
As well as the expected new set of full HD (1080p) screencaps from episode 4 of Reverie that are now in the KM UK Gallery, there are also improved sized versions of the two promotional photos (see below). Apart from the limited number, what’s not to like about that?
