OK, here's what we are going to do for this season of Beauty and the Beast. Every Monday you can expect an article about the top 5 things that I loved about the episode and top 5 things that I didn't like about the episode. But every Thursday right after the east coast airing you can come back and check out the full review. Does that sound like a good compromise? Let me know what you think of the plan in the comments section.
Highlights
5. They brought up Vincent's family, specifically his mother. I'd love to know more about his family and I definitely think that we should see his nephew Aaron Keller (Bryan Dechart) come back now that he is exonerated.
4. They remembered to give JT and Vincent some screen time together.
3. By episode's end Cat and Vincent are on the same page.
2. Cat and Heather got some sisterly bonding time in.
1. Jay Ryan's bicep are out on display for a lot of the episode.
Lowlights
5. There were like three Gabe mentions in a row in under a minute.
4. Nothing feels new or fresh about Tess (I believe even her wardrobe is recycled from last season).
3. Vincent seems a little off and gruffer than usual, even with JT.
2. Vincent is still living on that damn houseboat (move in with Cat already, grrr!).
1. There was a puttering and unsure JT at the beginning of this episode. JT Forbes is the heart of the show and if he isn't allowed to shine a lot of his interaction will fall flat (I think this episode proved that). Nobody puts our King Beastie in a corner, am I right?
=================================================================================
Overall, I absolutely loved this episode and my gripes are actually pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. I can't wait until Thursday to publish my review and really get the conversation going about this episode. Until then, you know I love ya for reading.
