vanitashazeWell. Upon watching, I must say that while I am ecstatic to have the trio (now foursome!) back, I wasn't too impressed by this episode, especially the first half or so (it did alright for itself at the end). Emotional uneveness, random dramatic monologues, only a tiny bit of humor / domesticity coupled with lots of ANGST, and, oh look, yet another woman who turns men evil with her sheer sexual power. (However, though the ending seemed kind of compressed and random, I was interested in the direction they eventually took Daisy's character. I wonder if we'll see her again.) And, as if this weren't bad enough, GEORGE IS BEING A SHIT, and I want to SMACK him, though at least he repented at the end (and I still think Nina was much kinder to him than he deserved). On the contrary, George - not everything is about you! My god, it's Tully all over again. And I'm definitely getting tired of bad things that happen to women in order to showcase George's epic man pain. (Again, see: the Tully affair.)
On the plus side, though, Nina continues to be made of ten thousand equally fantastic types of awesome, Annie too (I do hope they bring back the "advanced powers" storyline). I love their burgeoning friendship, and suspect they will soon be a Force to Be Reckoned With in the house. And Mitchell, of course, continues to be a loveable dork* who flirts by giving goldfish. By the way, did anyone else like the new characters - the doctor and the bartender? I quite did. I thought that for supporting cast, they had a lot of character, if you'll pardon the pun. And, though this will probably not happen at least in one case, I really hope they focus more on the friendship than the romantic side of these new relationships - the doctor & Mitchell and the bartender & Annie - because they're both rather sweet, and both Annie and Mitchell need more friends in their... lives. Unlives. Deaths?
*This, I think, was one of the main reasons I ended up laughing for the last five minutes of the episode, as the mysterious old white dude did his dramatic biblical monologue. He's spouting off about David in the lion's den, dramatic music is building, and all this is done against what is probably the least threatening background ever. Squishy armchairs! Dorky movie posters! Dirty laundry! Laurel and Hardy! Gnome wallpaper!
Clearly, this is the dwelling place of some unspeakable evil.
