Interesting addition to the cast, well, supporting cast, Rose McGowan. She and Julian McMahon were both in CHARMED, only he was supporting cast back then. (Never could stand the guy, called him a lounge lizard back then, so, imagine, when he popped up later in NIP/TUCK, I've never been quite happy with him in this part, I mean, could the ladies really be so mad about him?) Anyway, cute as a squirrel, the girl from CHARMED and JAWBREAKER is one of the very few saving graces here. Loved the ponytail. She should have been in the part from the beginning. For once, though, not complaining about 'an impostor' taking over.
It's the sixth season, and the fifth was already on borrowed time. The ludicrous plot development with creepy dude Matt inexplicably set on being a mime, really shows how in the doldrums this thing is. Much as I loathe him, the guy's been married to a porn star, had relationships with every kind of weird psycho, has been addicted to every known substance, circumcised himself, was burnt by fire, and almost drowned in a pool, in short, he is way beyond being interested in such a banal trivial activity. It was just the only way the scriptwriters could connect him to a comically fake firearm. And the dude looks absolutely even more pathetic this way, all the more laughable. That's what sealed it.
In this episode, Shannon Sturges appears in a minor role. Time hadn't treated her well. Difficult for me to watch, last time I saw her was in SAVANNAH.
I'm mainly here because I bought all the seasons while watching the first. The series has it's good moments, but for every good one, I could name ten cringe-worthy ones. And I'm not talking about the operating theater scenes, I'm talking about the inanely absurd stuff. From the way this starts out, I do not think that any of my opinions will change.
