Look Out! It’s A Killer Fish!
The crew of our submarine is in a state of pandemonium as they try to figure out what just happened. They are all worried about the safety of themselves and their passengers. The pressure of the sub can’t be underestimated, and it’s clear that something went wrong.
The soldiers are trying to plug the leak with Arman’s help, but it’s not working. There is no way to stop the water from coming in from the torpedo room, so the only solution is to head out and plug it from the outside. They are 184 feet deep and it is very dark outside. ..
The team is led by Arman, but they are also joined by Yonca. She’s clearly distraught, given that her father has just died. Still, she joins him as the pair are given a tight window of 10 minutes to try and plug the hole.
The team is able to plug the gap, but they are quickly attacked by a creature in the water. Yonca is knocked back and disoriented, causing her to lose focus on the sub. ..
After Arman fixes the sub, the pressure in the water begins to rise again. The pair manages to make it back on the sub, but they are running out of time. ..
Umut tells the group that they’re headed to Iskenderun Naval Base, but before they get there, Cem is feeling the after-effects of the drug addiction he has. This could be important going forward.
The Yakamoz members head into the naval base, trying to find someone – anyone – to help them. All the soldiers they do find are dead, prompting the Yakamoz members to honour their memory and give them a proper burial after digging a massive grave and putting them all inside.
The group of divers prepare to dive again after this. Cem though heads off from the group for a smoke. In doing so though, he notices the city on fire and starts to lose hope.
The troops are organized to go and raid the naval base, bringing what they need into the sub, including restocking food supplies and grabbing antibiotics. Yonca is there too, as is Altan but the latter is undisciplined and helps himself to as much food as he can. However, he reveals that everything is tasteless – could this be a result of the sun flare?
Someone sneaks aboard the Yakamoz sub and pushes past Felix. Whoever it is, they race into the naval base, eventually followed by numerous soldiers who begin chasing them. Whoever it is, they’re quick and strong. This woman eventually gets the better of Felix and holds him up at gunpoint. Uh oh!
The Episode Review
The new episode of Yakamoz S-245 throws new issues our group has to deal with. While this is fine in and of itself, there is never a moment of rest. It’s essentially the TV show version of Far Cry, where there is always something happening and very little downtime. ..
The fish knocked Yonca away because it was low on oxygen.
The show does have some standout moments. The inclusion of Felix is a smart one and his charisma is a bright spot in what’s otherwise been a rather forgettable ensemble of characters. Arman in particular is just so…bland.
He’s a typical “main character” male protagonist from a video game. He doesn’t have much personality, but he also doesn’t have much of a personality. It seems obvious by this point that he and Defne are probably going to get together.
We’re now in the business end of this season, and the ending leaves the door open for more to come. Roll on the next chapter!
