Review
How do 3rd episodes usually go? By this point it is
a mystery. Some shows do good, others watch themselves
drown. I quite liked this episode. The subject matter
was ok, but most importantly it turned the show around
into something more watchable.
Of course this is all a question of perspective and
standards. Despite the fact that some episodes are not
so great, personally I am hucked so overall I would
have to say they are good episodes. I was wondering
how the parent thing would play out. Although I think
we all knew that Ryan wasn't going anywhere.
Let the series play on, because I really want to know
what is going to be happening next.
