Somewhere off the coast of Westeros, Gendry is sitting in a rowboat, saying "Wow. That Gus character is useless."

I liked the "building blocks" that they put in place. But as far as this ep's actual construction... I've got to agree with the earlier poster who didn't feel that Six had the acting chops to play Four convincingly. So, if this schtick continues, I will have no choice but to say: I liked the show better when it was called "Quantum Leap."

I wouldn't wish being a psychologist in charge of reality stars on anyone.

This season has made me rethink how I will vote next time. If there is a next time. And if I vote. Because as much as I dislike her, I did vote for her. Not at first. In fact, not even "voluntarily." But with the requirement that we choose ten men and ten women, out of a largely mediocre and forgettable list, I did eventually vote for a few guilty pleasures (Abi and Shane,) just to fill the ranks up. So, ultimately, I am as much to blame for her being on my TV screen as her biggest fans are. Now, if only I could get some pleasure to go with that guilt...

Yeah, if anything, her problem is that she's too Nooskool.

It seems to me that One could easily be killed off, and all they'd have to do to fill the void would be make 5 and/or 6 a little bit preachier, while still leaving their useful aspects intact. And Three could be killed off, and all they'd have to do would be make 4 more talkative. So this constant pairing up of 1 and 3 just strikes me as doubly useless. I assume that the reason 2 didn't use her gun was the same reason 1 wanted 3 to lghten up on his: namely, that hundreds of years in the future, professional mercenaries who fight on spaceships will not be aware that deadly but low-penetration "safety ammo" has been in mass production since the 20th century. I mean, I get that when you're watching an action show you've got to put some of your real-life tech knowledge aside, but... let's say that the world really is as the writers believe, and all bullets can go through a spaceship hull. Isn't that maybe a reason to have some other weapon for the inevitable weekly spaceship fights? A low-powered laser, some sort of stun gun, anything that you can use without killing yourself along with your enemy? The stupidity of most of these people's weapon choices is actually making 4's look brilliant.

I'm enjoying the show, but that was the least futuristic looking space station that I have ever seen. I mean, the sets and wardrobe were so wrong-genre that I felt like I was watching a holodeck adventure.

Next week looks like it might be kind of fun again, but this week kind of sucked. Seemed like they couldn't decide what tone they were going for, and the end result was a very confused half assed script.

The softball Chris Christie interview bugged me. Jon would never have agreed to let him on and not talk about Bridgegate.

Where is he finding all that pot? I swear, every single time he's about to appear on camera, he takes an enormous bong hit first.

I think Vytas himself is creepier than the yoga touching. He just always has this look on his face that makes my brain scream "Why do you TRUST him?" He looks like the obvious backstabber guy from every crappy one-season flop on the SyFy channel. The kind of guy whose betrayal is so obvious, so far in advance, that you have to call it fiveshadowing.

I suppose the one good thing about Zach going on the road with Eph is that the little shit's chances of survival plummet.

So, um... Quinlan seriously expects Gus to stay focused on Abe long enough to get the book from him? Not likely. Gus is so easily distracted that he brings a luchadore to a gunfight. And, yeah, it does work, but: Plot armor? Yes. Plot savvy? Not by a friggin' long shot.

I'd feel better about it, though, if they consistently remembered that she existed. Murphy, I will assume, was telepathically summoning her, but did even one other person notice that she wasn't around?

I hope Stoner Boy lives another week or two. My hopes aren't too high; he's got "red shirt" written all over him, but I do find him funny.

I don't even think I lasted half an hour. Every scene that I saw was at least twice as long as it had any reason to be, They ought to call this show "The Lazy Bastard Who's Supposed To Be Editing."

This was bad. But I still have enough desire for the original show to go on that I would stick around in hopes of it getting better. If it weren't quite so bad. Like, if they didn't have the videogame story I could probably do one more episode. But, this was painful. And boring. And seemed unlikely to improve very much.

Will schmill. She had me at monkey sex. As for this season, I think she and Jeff are going to be hilarious together.

Yeah, but "nice person who just gets obsessive" doesn't explain throwing coconuts at people's heads. She has a history of behavior which is way crazier than the bracelet argument. So, as a viewer, I'm glad they targeted Vytas first. Because I would much rather see Abi in what she was wearing than Vytas in... whatever that thing he had painted on was. But as a player, I would have wanted her out on Day 1. Vytas might be sleazy and manipulative, but Abi seems like "person most likely to murder you for snoring."

Good god. So Vytas actually chose to wear that? I'd just assumed that somebody in costuming hated him as much as me.

Why even bring a "super powers" bracelet? Seems to me there's an awful lot of challenges in which it could easily get lost or tangled on something. To me that just says that she's all ego over efficiency. Also, every time she doesn't flip out, I'm tired of listening to her brag about it. What do you want, a cookie or a medal?

Dear Vytas: Please put on some damned pants. That skintight abomination you are wearing is a affront to the dignity of this game. You disgust me. Sincerely, Richard Hatch

Variation of the same question, then. If pepper spray hurts vampires, he probably shouldn't leave it lying around the dungeon.

I actually got back up out of bed over this thought, because once I thought of it there was no way to unthink it. Why the hell did she still have pepper spray? She's a vampire hunter with an established kill record, and he still didn't bother doing a weapons search?

Things we knew about Gus in Episode One: He will apparently, eventually, be one of the big shot vampire hunters. Things we know about Gus after tonight: He will apparently eventually be one of the big shot vampire hunters. Things we knew about The Silver Angel when he was first introduced: He will apparently eventually be one of the big shot vampire hunters. Things we know about The Silver Angel after tonight: He will apparently eventually be one of the big shot vampire hunters. Needless to say, their story arc has me on the edge of my seat, wondering what will happen next. Because whatever "next" is, it sure as hell won't entail actually becoming big shot vampire hunters. Maybe they'll take in a baseball game. Meanwhile: Things we knew about Zach in the first episode: The show doesn't need him. Things we know about Zach after tonight: The show doesn't need him. Although I am getting curious. Maybe during these last few episodes he got captured by Kelly, taken away to a secret lair, and turned out to be so annoying that she had the spiderkids carry him away and put him right back where he came from.
