Miracle Workers (TV Series) Oregon Trail: Over the Mountain (2021) User Reviews

Episode 308

[bobcobb301 · 6/10 · 14 September 2022]

This show finally tackled the sheer might and struggle of moving across the country to Oregon in a profound way here. They have talked about the danger, but rarely have we actually seen it.

Here we saw the infrastructure problems, the terrain and then of course some of the bad guys you run across along the way.

I understand that this series wants to keep the core cast every time, but Todd and The Gunslinger are just such awful characters with actors that butcher the jokes they are given. If Miracle Workers does return for a fourth season I would love to see some fresh blood injected into the program to replace those two actors. I think that would be best from every perspective.

Good episode; funny and refreshing.

The season is nearly finished, and this episode was a breath of fresh air. Hopefully, the last two episodes are just as good because this episode was actually funny, unlike recent episodes. Personally, I think it rivals the third episode, humor-wise, which I'm a huge fan of, and I think that episode was the funniest one yet; to have another episode be as funny was refreshing.

The humor was acceptable but a little exceptional. I liked the randomness and absurdity of Granny McGill suddenly combusting out of nowhere and then saying, "Oh, not again!" As well as Ezekiel's slightly uneasy, nonchalant response: "I mean, that... that's pretty normal. I've seen that before."

There were plenty of humorous moments, more than the third episode, I'd say. Levi's "demonic possession" and Ezekiel's contraption come to mind. Not to mention, Todd and Farmer John were great. I think both of them are among the top characters of this season. As far as the humor is concerned, I think this episode was the best one so far.

The only "problem" I had with this episode, which isn't even a problem, was the writing. The writing was a little too obvious at the end. If things went normally, the next episode probably would've been the finale, but there are two episodes left, not one. That's the ultimate reason behind the ending of this episode. But again, that really isn't a problem.

The next episode will probably revolve around rescuing Prudence, Benny reconciling with Trig, and other stuff; as sort of a filler episode since I imagine no progress will be made when it comes to reaching Oregon. But then, what about the finale? How can it be anything more than finally reaching Oregon? I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
