‘Emergence’ Episode 9: Underutilization of Richard Kindred and Allan Wilkins was disappointing, but a new threat can raise the game

Being one of the most influential personalities on the show, tech billionaire Richard Kindred made us believe that he had all the answers to the layers of questions we wracked our brains about.
PUBLISHED NOV 29, 2019

We are taken aback by the latest episode of ABC’s ‘Emergence’ which offered way more than we ever expected! ‘American Chestnut’ as a game-changer played a critical role in altering our perception about the majority of the characters. However, the fantasy-thriller seems to be plagued by a few setbacks, mostly concerning the manner in which Richard Kindred and Allan Wilkins were portrayed.

Being one of the most influential personalities on the show, tech billionaire Richard Kindred made us believe that he had all the answers to the layers of questions we racked our brains about for a long time until he was killed swiftly by his biological daughter Emily.

What was more disappointing than his demise was the way he was killed. The man who could easily get himself bailed out with his name alone ended up getting killed in the prison. Earlier on the show, it was well-established that Kindred boasted good connections within the limits of the Federal custody as well. However, none could come to his rescue when his throat was slit by the guards of the station unit.

And then, there is Allan Wilkins, the co-founder of the Augur Industries, who for a long time faked his death and managed to hide in an isolated region, until he was tracked down by Jo and then Emily, too. It’s surprising as to how a man who created an AI couldn’t skilfully escape for the second time, by using neither intellect nor power.

With the FBI on the lookout for him and the introduction of a bigger threat, it remains to be seen if Allan's death is going to be as tragic as Kindred’s or he manages to escape for good. Considering how the most powerful man was melted into goo, we can expect a similar fate awaits Allan too.

Nevertheless, the creators have managed to have us on the edge of our seats, by showing how an entity above Kindred and Allan can go about burning down the Augur Industries, to get hold of the AI, which has already inflicted everyone with enough perils!
