IMPORTANT INFORMATION:  Lauren Lewis (a.k.a Doc Hot Pants) does not appear on screen this episode.  Not for a single frame.  Her name is said twice three times I think. 

Now that that’s out of the way … the episode wasn’t terrible.  With no Lauren on screen there’s no way it could be considered good (or even satisfactory), but I’ve lowered my expectations - and the show has crushed the optimism in my heart  - enough that I was able to just kind of shrug when the end credits started and mutter, “Eh.”

The one thing I did like about this episode was Bo and Kenzi’s friendship.  Even though they can be obnoxiously stupid together, I enjoyed that they were both willing to basically risk everything for each other. 

And now onto the bitching.

Bo is still pining like a 13 year old over Dyson.  Pining!Bo and Kenzi being stupid and thoughtless were the driving force behind this weeks plot, so yeah, the plot itself was irritating too because if these two could act like adults there would have been no trouble.

In WTF-Land, this episode made me side with Dyson on something over Kenzi.  *glares at show* Why must you toy with my emotions like this?!?  But, he was totally justified yelling at her.  She is a bit too flippant about all most of the things she and Bo deal with, and she really is far too invested in Bo’s personal life.  I’m sorry, Kenz, but [Dothraki Slave Girls]It is known.[/DSG]

Can the show please stop trying to shove down my throat how irresistible Dyson is to everyone with a vagina?  It’s getting out of control.  Like Kris Holden Reid is shaggy and delicious and the man can wear a vest, but Dyson really doesn’t strike me as some smooth as frak, wine drinking, opera attending, Oscar Wilde quoting ladies man who can talk anyone out of her panties in minutes.  Dude hardly talks, and when he does it’s in this terse, overly intense, scowl-y, growl-y way that I can’t imagine is a great hit at bars.

How come Dyson can still appear on screen a couple of times, be shirtless, and make-out with Bo in a “Lauren episode”, but in a “Dyson episode” Lauren doesn’t even appear on screen?  PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF THE SHOW, HEAR MY CRIES!  It doesn’t matter how many times people mention Lauren’s name, if she’s not on-screen the “love triangle” doesn’t come across as anything but ultimately doomed pandering.  *epic lost-girlian sigh*

So yeah …
