Wonder if we are heading for an Evil Felicity storyline. :)Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88836617051279726312017-02-21T11:37:20.562-05:002017-02-21T11:37:20.562-05:00It's interesting that I didn't even realiz...It's interesting that I didn't even realize the hot issue before I read your review JD. Maybe I am so used to gun violence in American shows? Usually lots of people die and our heroes always survive. Unfortunately, I think this episode fell into that category. Although heart-wrenching, the flashback story didn't hit me as it should, because we never knew the character that died. I feel terrible that I didn't react more. <br /><br />Can't help thinking about two Buffy eps that dealt with the issue differently. Earshot and Seeing Red. Totally different approach that hit me where it should right in the gut.<br /><br />And yes - compromise is a difficult thing that sometimes fail. (e.g. Ask-Don't-Tell). But I firmly think it's the right way to go, and combined with patience it pushes the issue forward.<br /><br />Great review JD:)TJ - Not so grumpy anymorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1561163691727614242017-02-20T17:48:11.133-05:002017-02-20T17:48:11.133-05:00This must have been a tricky review to write. For ...This must have been a tricky review to write. For my part, I hated the episode. The stuff with Rene was good (he actually feels like a character now!) but it was just so heavy handed I felt like I'd been hit over the head with a frying pan. I do think it was bold of such a serialized show to take on the gun issue, considering the very real risk that they might have had to delay this episode out of sensitivity to a recent shooting, as often happens to episodes about mass shootings.
