This show has had two episodes now, but it hasn't revealed anything about the terrorist's motives. Without a motive, violence is just mindless bestiality. I could care less about what mindless beasts do with their free time. If you don't have a motive, there is no story. There are no decisions. There's no characters. There's no plot. There's nothing at all. Every story must first explain to me what the motive/motivation of the cast is, and then start saying what happens. This story does not follow this simple, obvious, essential formula and therefore automatically sucks. I don't care what occurs, or how it occurs. All I ever cared about from the beginning was why. That's obviously a question they have no intention of ever answering, so to hell with this show.
My pass rate's down to 21. Let's see if Tokyo ESP can survive my next cut.
