[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 274451, member: 27"] So we got some plot progression with Jeffrey/Madison courtesy of Justin's fiery exit which, while not as gruesome as Extra-Crispy Erica, was kind of gross. The crack from Colby about Jeffrey "smelling like bad barbecue" was hilariously tasteless, and his attempt at "helping" Madison help Jeffrey yielded a joke so good I'm wondering if the censor caught it (paraphrasing): Madison (as Jeffrey tries to push him away emotionally): "I keep trying and trying, but he won't let me in." Colby: "That's never stopped you before." But like I said, they had some plot progression simply by lingering on that one story for the entire first half of the episode, which [I]amazed me. [/I]The old formula had each story getting one or two scenes at most during the hour, not allowing much to happen simply because they only had three minutes in an hour-long episode. If they continue to use this new format (first half dedicated to one story, second half to three or four others) they might actually be able to wrap it all up well. I'm still not quite sure what the Mitch/Jim thing is all about (I know it involves Mitch skimming some money off the top in some Malone thing with Jim), so their scene didn't have the impact that it should have (with me, anyway). And I've always felt the stuff with Charles, Landon, and DC was superfluous. And frankly I think the Hannah/Veronica scenes were kind of fan-service-y since they've had much more legitimate reasons to come to blows over the years and managed to resist. [/QUOTE]
