FEMME FATALES: 06 'Girls Gone Dead'

This has been the worst episode so far, imo.

It just felt mean-spirited for no reason at all. But, the main reason it didn't work is because of how much it strayed from the supposed theme of this series: the femme fatale.

These girls were NOT femme fatales. A femme fatale never plays the victim. Everything she does, whether its good or bad, is done by her own choice. The "sorority girls" in this episode could of been wearing name tags labeled "Victim"; they were even given the laugh-out-loud excuse that a woman's brain isn't fully developed in her late teens and early twenties, so, she shouldn't have to be held accountable for her own decisions.

Yes, there was no sex at all (watch closely during the "lesbian sex scene"; the girls aren't even really kissing each other), but, that is not the reason why this episode is the worst in my opinion. The reason is because of something I've brought up earlier: the fact that violence trumps eroticism. The killing scenes were carried out with such glee and entitlement it was almost sickening. Whether you like/hate/don't care about the Girls Gone Wild phenomenon, you have to concede that the actions from the leads in this episode were not warranted (unless you agree with the "underdeveloped brain" theory). It was spiteful violence for the sake of spiteful violence.

Funny how a shot of a woman's breasts is considered objectified ...unless there's blood being splattered across them.
