Good episode. We've come to expect steady good performances from the major characters. In this episode, we get to scenes that show stand out performances by some of the quieter characters, namely Camille, Joel, and Drew. The speech that Joel gives Amber about Ryan, about repeating their mother's life with their father. I always knew Drew had it in there, somewhere. When pushed, it all came out in that scene. I hated Joel's character last season. This season, his 'too little, too late' storyline was crushed in a phone call. That scene was well played. Oh, and Camille. Veteran actress Bonnie Bedelia had a chance to show her range, and she sure did. (Props to Craig T. Nelson for is work all season. The writing this season for Zeke has played to Nelson's strengths.) Great writing. Great performances. Reminds me of the last season of Friday Night Lights.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
