Well, Big Sky was back tonight with episode 1.6 tonight with one big reveal:
[Spoilers follow....]
Big Rick is still alive! How is that? Cassie shot him point blank in the head. I guess some people can and do survive a bullet in the brain, if it lands in not some vital place, but I don't know, this move seems a little like a rabbit out of a hat or a cheap trick.
The story, meanwhile, has moved on. The captives are free. Cody's body has been found (as my wife pointed out, though, how did the police know exactly where to look, but ok), and Cassie and Jenny, against all odds, are growing closer. Or, at very least, Jenny has agreed to work with Cassie on just one case: find the the kidnapping trucker.
Ronald remains by far the most interesting character. As one of the freed captive girls says, he's sweet, but a psycho. A "sweet psycho," her sister, also a freed captive, agrees. That's an apt term for this guy, who usually seems on the verge of killing his mother, a not so sweet thing to do.
She's becoming increasingly important in this story, too. She doesn't seem inclined to turn Ronald in. To the contrary, she's trying to give him some helpful advice. When push comes to shove, blood seems to be thicker than water with this crowd. Same is at least a little true for Rick's wife and Rick.
So we have something of a good narrative emerging, and some good music in Big Sky, too. See you next week with my review.
