It's an very unimpressive improvement over TDAS, its potential for being an excellent improvement overshadowed by its lousy cast, abundance of annoyances, and Chris himself. I was not expecting greatness from this, and the effort show is only marginally better, but still very misguided. It does not measure up to TDI, and to say it's better than TDAS is still not saying much when you get right down to it.

They're not worth arguing with, they are gonna be bad sports about it until the bitter end anyway. Yeah, I don't like what they imply about nice people being boring. And I find it very disrespectful to get on everyone else's cases for liking them. It's just unfair. Best to just ignore them and not allow them to cramp things between the fans and the characters they love. It isn't their place to tell us what kind of characters we like over others. It isn't their place to tell us we should like what creates more drama if it isn't something we find funny or simply doesn't sit well in the gut. They have no place doing any such things and so best thing to do is to not let them believe they have that power. Or else they'll really believe that they do. "To each their own" is not strong with them. M

Maybe, but that still doesn't excuse what they chose to do with some of the things in these seasons or how they've chosen to end them. Especially TDAS, there is no excuse for what they did there. And we deserve an in-universe explanation or official release on anything that will clear up that ending and some of the events of the season, not when they're good and ready years from now, but right now so that it is not a stinging point or that amount of time. We deserve to know. These seasons I recognize are relatively self-contrained, well they ought to wrap them up as such and not leave threads THAT big hanging at the end. That's downright wrong.

I suppose that makes sense. Like they added it to the first episode after both seasons were otherwise complete? It was one of the last additions, you mean to suggest?

Save which subjects for Julie, Stryzzar?

That reminds me, at the earliest you should anticipate that SMS thread to appear this weekend at some point if you want to join in. I'm going to try to get it up even while I'm out of town this weekend.

Undermined by the fact that it wasn't the real deal. I REALLY desperately want to see Chris smeared all over the island now. I am completely fed up with this guy. Flanderized to the extreme, he was one of the worst things about TDPI. I really wish he had suffered for this and TDAS.

Yup. That was really dumb. I hate anticlimaxes like this.

Plus the pacing in this season is terrible. All the action slows down constantly for a relentless wave of confessionals or Chris' tired exposition. I swear they were doing a lot more of it than usual this time.

This episode HURT to sit through. And I was taken aback at how abruptly it ended. Does wrapping things up neatly mean anything to these people anymore? I mean get serious or get out of here, honestly. Nor am I a fan of the man who wrote it.
