6/6/2024 - very provocative premise, pronoun usage makes the read cumbersome Great sci-fi read once able to trade out the non-binary pronoun usage which tends to make the read a bit cumbersome. Would have been a smoother read had the author chose to just over use the character’s name repeatedly instead of trying to force the unconventional usage of the plural pronoun for a single entity that seems bent on a plural personality, rather than the singular binary choice of the American English grammar definitions. The moral and ethical implications raised by the subject matter of the “essence of time”, seem real and very much current with the futuristic thought of the subject matter - after all, when a sci-fi idea comes around, it usually follows that it may not be so futuristic…

I totally agree with other reviews = Great show, way too many commercials! Instead of the one hour show that used to be about 55 minutes, NBC is chopping the show really short - Manifest has an average of 17 minutes of commercials! By the time the core of the episode comes about, I found myself tiring of all the commercial interruption - just lost interest. Trying to figure out if the there is a lack of overall strong acting or poor writing but whatever the issue, I'm over watching this program. Thought it might really be a worthwhile program but it's turned out to be too little too late with too many commercial interruptions.
