Remember how last week I said the show kind of disappointed me? Well despite that, I found myself really anticipating this weeks episode, to the point where I even asked myself “Is it Thursday yet?” What I should have done, to satiate that anticipation, was go back and read my review of the first episode. Because while I wouldn’t say this one was any worse, I did not get some fun thrill that made my waiting worthwhile. It’s kind of like those episodes in the RW/RR Challenge where someone I really like goes home…I waited all week, just to be sad at the end. I also found myself asking “Did I fall asleep?” when this episode ended. I am going to make a guess that they put fewer commercials in the first episode, therefore making it more action packed or whatever. But I felt strange enough about how short it seemed that I kept it on the DVR and will hopefully find the time to watch it again. And if I do that and find I did, in fact, fall asleep, I will write an amended review. Somehow, though, I don’t think I will find something terribly redeeming in a rewatch
