for an episode called "sex and drugs" this did not go the way i thought it would. I thought that he was gonna try and "take advantage" of Charlie as payment and Miles would have to choose to save Charlie or Nora. But Nope, instead it was a bit of a red herring and it was about power and drugs with splash of prostitution.
Well I'm conflicted. It wasn't a completely bad episode but it wasn't good. And I don't think the producers are getting the reactions they're supposed to. For starters; did they really pull a Lando Calrissian?! "You got a lotta nerve coming her. After what you pulled!" Seriously? Come on! And little miss pouty-pout's naked tantrum. Laughable is the only way to describe it. Back to being conflicted: when the bad guy hits the heroine you're supposed to recoil. It's supposed to bother the viewer because the heroine has been hurt. I can't lie. When Lando smacked little miss pouty-pout I cracked a smile and couldn't help but think; its about time. These are not the reactions that writers and producers are supposed to get. But that's what's happening.
Misleading preview last week, but I shouldn't be surprised. Most of the time the "next week" previews are not entirely truthful in what they tell you the next ep will be; which can be nice because you think you're going to get one thing and you end up with something else. The problem here is I think the idea the preview gave us, of Charlie being "sold" for sex, would have been so much more compelling than what we got.
I did love seeing Aaron's backstory, but the fact that he abandoned his wife really damaged his character for me! I suppose the door is open for him to find her again, but c'mon! Like his leaving her makes her safer? :( I would never have considered he would behave that way. I guess this is giving us a deeper look into what has affected his world view now.
I was not expecting Charlie to be punched, but then again, I've been a fan of Charlie since the pilot, so I did feel the shock of it.
I'll be curious to see how the Danny/Rachel reunion plays out once she has to account for her absence.
I'm still with the show, but this week was just...well...okay.
I thought Sex meant taking charlie's advantage for helping Nora. N Drugs meant Medicine for Nora. But it turned out differently... The promo with the title are really deceiving. But nice Episode though
I really love the twist it offered from the preview. It's interesting to see the transition people go through from soft/emotional to hard/cold. I know Charlie will never be that cold but she does have to ignore her emotions to get her brother back. I'm glad she killed the first dude, and glad she didn't kill this guy. From her attitude at the start of the episode I was worried she may.
I got the vibe pretty early on that there wasn't going to be a hard out brothel scene anywhere. I'd say it was the weakest episode of the season so far, but by no means completely bad. It was good to finally learn a bit more about Aaron's past
Awesome episode for me. Aaron is the same time hero in the present and coward in the past, but I think he is in transition to be a good person. I hope his wife back in another episode to bring the character more conflict about your bad choice in the past.
About Charlie, she is another character in transition, she kill a guy to save Miles, but she not ready to kill for a banal reason like this episode, but eventually I think she try put her emotions in second plane to help Miles, Nora and Aaron save Danny.
Good scene between Danny and Rachel.
Very tense scene between Neville and his son Jason.
Well, in a sense they certainly didn't pull the punch... Yeah I know, I'm terrible. :( But some of the stuff in this episode sold me a bit more on the show itself. I felt invested in it.
Also, did anyone else notice that like half the freaking guest star cast is from Justified?

ReplyDeleteJust OK for me this week.

I enjoyed it and voted awesome. Probably would have been better if it was more like the promo hinted, but either way it didn't disappoint me.

I agree with you especially about your point of Charlie learn how things works in the right time
