Day 202: Fury From the Deep Episode 5

So in this episode, it's implied that the bad guys want Victoria, and Victoria specifically, because they see her as a threat. At this point, you're probably thinking that it's because she's incredibly clever, and that she's sorted everything out already. Except it's actually because they're affected by sound waves, and that Victoria's screams are hurting them. So to recap, Victoria's primary function in this story is to scream, and that becomes an advantage. It's disappointing that this is her 'time to shine' because the female companions that have preceded her have generally been incredibly strong willed, intelligent women, who provide a good role model for the little children who are watching the proceedings. And while Victoria may react to things in a realistic way, it doesn't do much for showing kids someone to look up to. It's a disappointing route that Victoria has gone on, when we discover that all that she's truly good for is screaming her head off.
