I agree that the show used to make more sense. It just doesn't make any sense anymore. My favorite part is Kenzie, who seems to make a little sense. Everyone else, and all the storylines just make me go, "Wha?" Plus, they jump so quickly from one scene to another. Finally, the chick who played the warrior who went evil was a really, profoundly bad actor. I mean, it was not good enough to be campy there. Yikes.

I like parts of Bitten, but I'm really feeling that the violence, etc. does not translate onto the screen well.

I'm going to say it. I don't really like Tank as a character. He's that guy who seems like a "nice guy," but really, the organization he belonged to did some really ridiculous things, and he continued to belong. Plus, his silent treatment, when he was angry at Bay, was really not okay, especially when she didn't really do anything all that wrong. He went into the relationship knowing Bay had feelings for other people. It was a gamble. It didn't pay off. The new situation, with him dumping the fraternity, despite that fact that she didn't require it, reeks of the potential for emotional blackmail. If he did it for himself, I hope it turns out not to be an issue in the storyline. The one thing about Bay is she falls for emotional blackmail ALL THE TIME. It's the one thing that annoys me about her. Speaking of people who fall for emotional blackmail, Regina needs to slap her mother silly. Her mother may have been right about the entire situation, but the individual ethics are complicated for Regina. No wonder she's got problems. Her mother basically accused her of sleeping with her boss and then pushed the whole "You fight!" nonsense on her, not even considering her daughter's financial ties and what that might do to her. Now, she's in danger as well. Good going, stupid mom. (Not that Regina is without blame. Obviously, she was an idiot to get into business with someone she didn't know well.)

I appreciated the point behind the episode, to set up Cristina leaving. However, I got frustrated with the episode as well, because, honestly, we all already know this. And it reiterated for me how destructive and harmful the relationship was. It makes me think Owen might not be capable of any other kind of relationship except one that is destructive. I wouldn't mind seeing him exit as well, at the end of the season. I thought it was interesting that, in terms of motherhood, she recognized that it would be a mistake but that she would choose to help her child at the expense of her career, if it was there, and that, if she concentrated on her work around Owen and didn't have children, her lack of extra empathy to a patient would be something else she and Owen would not have in common, and that he would judge her for it.

My new guess is that they are lying through their showrunner teeth, and Ali is the twin. I want to say over AND OVER how much I hate the potential redemption of Ezra. Because he is icky.
