I thought the show was turning around. I really did. What can I say? I’m
an optimist. On a scale of sucktitude, (ranging from 1 to 10, 10 being the
suckiest of all time) this episode scored a whopping 15! Let me explain:
Any show where I see a butt crack that’s not Don’s, that’s a 5 point
deduction.
Any show where I see a butt crack that’s not male, that’s another 5 point
deduction.
Any show where I have to sit through 45 minutes of sexual tension, to the
point where I’m screaming ‘Just Do it already’ at the tv screen…you guessed
it…another five points. I would have deducted another five just b/c Don’s
screen time wasn’t even five minutes, but there was one redeeming moment.
There was the part where Parker was hiding in the woods and emulating bear
growls to try and get Olga out of the ‘natural hot springs’….she starts
calling for help and her tour guide starts shooting blindly into the forest.
(First of all, can I say how fake that was??? Aren’t they supposed to be
communing with nature? You know there have to be laws against shooting
bears in parks, but I digress). Anyway, for one moment I was thinking,
“Yes, Yes! Make the bullet kill him…or at least maim him to the point he
couldn’t backstep anymore! Then Donovan would step in his place and we’d
have a show revolving around a cool character. Alas…it was not meant to be,
and the bullet missed.
