Grade = D+
A few weeks ago, I had written a longer review, but at this point, I’m not very motivated to post it.
Others have highlighted quite effectively the various shortcomings of this episode. It suffered from many of the issues which have plagued the show all season – significant logic flaws, too much time spent on exposition and filler, too much focus on shiny ideas / gimmicks instead of substantive storylines and development, etc.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t care less about the cliffhanger in this one and won’t be spending much time speculating about its resolution, especially considering the show’s track record with underwhelming season openers.
However, I will be checking in from time to time to see how spoilers for season 7 are shaping up. And unless there are indications of a significant shift in direction, I probably won’t be watching. It’s much easier to watch the DVD’s at the end after all is said and done instead of suffering through another disjointed, disappointing season.
