The episode begins as Bing applies for a job at Christmasland.
So who could blame him for seeking a better life?
Its a place where abused children are trapped in ice.
Of course, all of that is bullshit.
The tragedy of the Bing subplot essentially saves thisNOS4A2episode from being a total write-off.
Unfortunately, the episode devotes more time to the former than the latter.
The girlfriend, Tiffany, makes it clear she doesnt want Vic around.
Tiffany is Chris McQueens sleazy girlfriend.
Craig is Vics biker friend who clearly has a crush on her.
Maggies tiles also revealed that Danny, the missing little boy, has been taken by THE WRAITH.
The girl who finds lost things can find lost children.
Dont you see youve been chosen?
Wecertainly see that shes been chosen!
Which means Vic refuses Maggies request and goes back home.
But Manx is already looking for Vic, and Maggie has already asked Vic to go after Manx.
When these two finally cross paths,NOS4A2will benefit from some much-needed narrative focus.
Detours
Two episodes in: How does everybody feel about Zachary Quintos take on Charlie Manx?
InNOS4A2, using superpowers has tangible, physical consequences.
I wonder what consequences Manx faces for driving a supernatural car and draining the life out of children.
For a brief moment, Vic sees the chalk in Hayleys hand as a candy cane.
Manx describes himself as Christmaslands CEO, director, and president of fun.
I wonder how much that pays.
Manx, being Manx, lights up like a Christmas tree when Bing mentions that the sevoflurane is gingerbread-scented.
Tiffanys art seems to be gluing colored rocks onto picture frames.
