This episode had the potential to be great. It slows down even more than last week and gives us a chance to get to know more about some characters, and see how tensions are growing among others. Sadly, it seems like the writers spent so much time making the outline for the episode they just threw something together for dialogue. It is clunky and awkward, and this is coming from someone who just watched The Room. It's obvious the actors were struggling with having to say those lines and I struggled to suspend disbelief. The big reveal from one character was anti- climatic at best and sure to be a huge disappointment from people hungry to know more about that storyline.
The director seemed to have given up, too, as the opportunity for great emotional scenes instead gave us bored face, constipated looks. Or maybe it was the director and actors' way to silently protest the horrendous writing that has been season 8. Whatever it is, I hope they put us all out of our misery soon. Preferably by making the show good again, but I'll settle for a quick death.
