That was the worst episode of the season...


The episode that just aired, set in the "Salvation"/Christmas area, was really the worst episode that I've seen so far.

I was severely disappointed, because last week's episode with the interestingly done flashbacks was one of the strongest episodes of this first season. So far, I have enjoyed this show a lot, which was totally unexpected back when I started watching the show.

But man, this episode was really nothing. The setting and people were boring. The "conflict" of the episode wasn't really much of anything, and the whole "reveal" was entirely disappointing as well, and didn't make me laugh at all, even though I'm sure the writers intended for that to happen.

About the only part of the whole episode I liked was when Nate and Robin berated the guy with the gun while he was sitting between them - mainly because of how they just bounced back and forth. Their character styles worked together again.

So, what are others' thoughts?
