I agree with you on this episode in general. It really is the perfect example of a filler episode. XP I had high expectations for this episode, being in NYC and all, but I was very disappointed.

Yeah, that Noah moment was priceless. "What am I, Tyler?!" XD That was probably my favorite line in the entire episode.

I admitted that if the creators could somehow find a way for the cast to avoid any interaction whatsoever with any of the locals in NEW YORK CITY, of all places, then I would be truly impressed. The first 20 minutes, so far, so good. And then, just when it looked like they were in the clear, BAM! That one woman with the baby comes in. They came close, but no cigar. Personally, I do think that a majority of the characters were pretty silent in this episode. None of the major plotlines, such as Tyler and Lindsay, were focused on. I think that the only really focused-on characters in this episode were Alejandro, Sierra, Heather, and Chris, all involved in the one major plotline. I think that this was actually pretty good, and made up for some of the lost points. I loved seeing Chris angry.

But I think my favorite element of the entire episode was...(are you ready?): The first hints at a relationship between Alejandro and Heather. Of course, he's probably just playing her like he was with Bridgette...but I don't know. "You're beautiful when you're playing hard to get." Smooth, Al. Smooth. I've said it before; I LOVE the idea of these two as a couple. If they ever did hook up, they'd instantly be my top favorite couple EVER. Think of it this way: If they become an official, canon couple, I'd love them more than I hate Duncan and Courtney. ;)

The worst thing about the episode, to me, did not concern any of the characters. I've added this to the trivia section of the episode page by now. In that long shot of Team Victory crossing the river in their boat (while LeShawna's asking how they're gonna get to Central Park in a boat), if you look closely in the city skyline behind them, you can see the TWIN TOWERS...that's right: The World Trade Center. The moment I saw that when I was watching the episode for the first time, I was all like: "W...T...F?!?!" I'm not sure if that was just an error - a sick, terrible error - on the animators' parts, or if it was an intentional thing, where they thought, "Eh, no one's gonna see. No one's gonna be looking for it; no one's that obsessed with New York City." Well, I am! I'm still angry about it.

Overall, I'd say that this episode may, sadly, have been the worst yet. I give you full credit for not bashing it as much as I did. I'd give this episode either a 5/10 or a 6/10.
