the tuesday night thread. please share your comments. thank you :)
:: wow. what a boring episode! lol. shit. compared to the last one we got this was a snooze-fest. starting things off with a busted surprise that Kim would be the one sitting in for Jane Saunders. dude, we figured it out as soon as Tony told Chloe to look for possible matches for Jane. then we had to sit around and wait for them to catch up with us and realize that, gasp, Kim was the ::only one:: possible right now! boring. oh well.
the good thing out of all the episode's intro was we found out that, yes, Chappelle indeed was dead. the writers couldn't resurrect him. good.
btw, how lame is Chase (aka the writers) that he can't figure out a better way to tell how many people the Infected Guy came in contact with at the pharmacy? hello... security cameras, anyone?? so this and the lame Kim-as-Jane lines were the weakest parts of this episode.
now. the good parts: Jack getting all in Tony's face about Kim going in the field. that was cool. and Jack is always fun when he's wearing his Travis Bickle uniform too :) Kim finally had a good scene when she too was confronted by Jack and pushed up against the wall. the library scene was good ... until Kim got up and walked straight into the arms of yet another kidnapper. i was actually happy when i heard the shot being fired and it looked like, yes, Kim had been shot. but no. the guy falls to the ground. oh-hum. as soon as she'd been kidnapped i thought, they can't hold her for too long 'cause she's been kidnapped, what -- a total of four times now? so the only way out i could see was that she would be killed this time, finally figuring a way out for a badly written character. but no. they kept the bad wig-wearing Kim.
what was the kicker at the end?
i can't remember. there was no suspense. at all. shit. i can't think of it.
nope.
oh. another good bit, probably the best one, was the infection estimate (yet another chart! but this one was good). how the fuck are they going to trace every single person??? fuck, they can't figure out that you can just watch footage off a security cam to see who was at a pharmacy, how the hell are they gonna do this? this line looks better. kudos to the writers for having balls and pushing the storyline to its limit.
btw, i'm tired of having the Palmers relegated to playing the greek chorus on this show. it seems everytime they talk together or bring one other person in these past episodes they just seem to rehash what's been happening so far. dudes, we get it. we've been following for a while now. new people are gonna get it if they watch more than 15 minutes of the show. stop it. stop condescending your audience. plus, you're wasting precious screen time.
btw, Sean Callery seems to be the one constant source of inspiration on this show. what a job he's been doing. so kudos to Sean.
