Okay. I guess... mm. I don't mind Nick getting leveled up, essentially. I mind the contrivance of it all and the overly protag-centered morality, mostly. Like, I know managing an ensemble cast like this is tricky, but either admit it's an ensemble cast that needs managed after a Joss fashion or ditch some characters and give us more development on the ones that remain. (Only don't, because I love what we ARE getting. I just. Rrgh. I see all the ways this ep could have been better, you know?)<br /><br />I am fairly certain our livechat has similar in there. Complete with NO WE ARE HERE FOR THE COMPETENCE PORN AS WELL AS THE SHIRTLESSNESS, CAN'T WE HAVE BOTH?<br /><br />Yes. Yes yes yes, all of this. The best bits of this ep were the ones that weren't MotW, and the MotW could have been improved by taking the metaplot out and giving both room to breathe.Anna Hammetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095633218958433882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271373189216022547.post-17170669748288283172013-03-25T05:31:25.121-07:002013-03-25T05:31:25.121-07:00In our hearts he'll always be our favorite sex...In our hearts he'll always be our favorite sexenbiest. <br /><br />+1 :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648936659156908893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271373189216022547.post-9950813605624585212013-03-23T20:41:37.017-07:002013-03-23T20:41:37.017-07:00I appreciated Nick being the one to FINALLY put tw...I appreciated Nick being the one to FINALLY put two and two together about Andre going after Casey if only because it was a nice break from him being completely unable to think deductively. I actually really enjoyed the superfly fighting abilities, but I agree it would have been great for Hank and Monroe to have a fight scene together. I also think not enough time has been given to Monroe's badass-Blutbad side for a while now and would have liked for it to get a little more mileage here.<br /><br />Completely with you on the captain being wasted. The second Hank called Wu I started screaming (well, type-screaming, I was liveblogging) CALL THE FUCKING CAPTAIN, IF ANYONE CAN HELP YOU FIND AND MUTILATE THIS DUDE IT IS PRINCE FUCKING RENARD, buuuuut no. Sigh.<br /><br />I was actually really happy with what they did with Juliette confronting her hallucinations and SUPER happy that she went to Rosalee, but I honestly think if they weren't going to use Renard in any immediately significant way that whole nightmare could have waited. I'd really prefer, to be frank, that they play out Juliette's thread the way they have been and let Renard just be fine and go back to scheming majestically, but if they must do something here--and I'm open to it, particularly if Juliette's weird woge thing is in some way a callback to murky mysteries they've hinted at around his relationship with Catherine--I think they should have just saved it for another ep and used the time to make this one better. The writers don't seem to really get that there are usually two distinct categories of metaplot episodes and procedural/filler episodes <i>for a reason</i>.Miwomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709427652545868711noreply@blogger.com
