the reason i created this blog was to keep myself from creating a manifest nbc blog. (or manifest netflix)
i binge watched the seasons like most everyone in the world and... it got me. i slipped and the devil got me.
i have no conspiracies or projections for the fourth and final season, but i have wishes and of course, complaints.
- BENVI RISE. yup, your bitch is benvi stan. in s1, benvi had a very nice setup,, s2, not so much and s3 none at all really but now that it seems grace is definitely gone, benvi has promise. also, it seems that no one likes grace or something and i don’t go to that church. i liked grace, i understood grace and i’m sad that she’s not gonna get a happier ending. but i’m really excited for the ben and saanvi progress i think we’re gonna get because of it.
-it kills me that saanvi has little to no background on this show. all we know is that she is a brilliant bi doctor with a crush on ben who was on 828. like we know nothing about her parents, except that they exist. i think it would’ve been more interesting to see her interactions with her family post 828 because she was the only one in her family who experienced the time-jump, whereas 1/2 of the stone family are experiencing this so, there had to be a tolerance there. but i think the isolation she had to be feeling because of that should have been noted better. does it show that saanvi’s my favorite character? because i hope so.
-end this goddamn michaela/zeke/jared triangle. first of all, i almost can’t stand jared. he had some redeemable parts but mostly, he can go. don’t get me wrong, michaela’s no prize either but how obsessed and weird he was in s1 was just too much, bro. in fact, i think they try too hard to pair michaela with another guy, as if it’s gonna solve her problems. she’d be best on her own or with that cute new partner whose name i forgot.
-nothing against cal or the actor that plays cal but this show solidified my dislike for spooky kids, any kid that has supernatural powers or something. (no, i don’t watch stranger things). it just makes me cringe and i think it’s so creepy and i know that’s the point, but nah.
- i just need to say that in the s3 finale when michaela gaslit grace into staying in this insane situation, that really pissed me off. grace has been through enough trauma and she’s one of the few characters who do have an out, she should be allowed to take it especially when ben is showing his ass like he did all s3. anyway, this is just me saying i wish that baby was danny’s.
Jachaela: Jared and Mick, for many this is their OTP, and their love is still clearly present between them. Jared would do anything in his power for Mick and her family, not even thinking twice when his life and job are on the line when saving her or helping her is a priority. Hopefully we will see more between these in the upcoming season.
I'm so disappointed in Manifest right now. I love this show, I love Josh Dallas and Ben Stone. I love that whole family. But Zeke and Michaela have ZERO chemistry, I actually can't stand Zeke at all and it's so bad I am not sure I can watch season 3 (assuming there will be one). 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
NBC’s Manifest cast having fun at SyFyWire’s New York Comic Con 2019 live interview.
The entire cast showed up for a 15 minute interview on October 6, 2019 at the SyFyWireLive booth. It went fast, was fun, no spoilers because a producer/writer was also there ;) Unfortunately I ended up on left side of stage and the actors’seats were slanted toward the right (and SyFy’s videographer). I’ve got more pics and will post later. Love some of the expressions I was able to catch.
