天下制覇

Oh boy. An entire episode to explain to the characters the end of the previous episode.

Impressions:

With the 'dark' side of things finally revealed revealed months ago when this was first announced, it's time to… do absolutely nothing. Here's another episode of faffing around. Nobody's voted off the island this week. All you get is them finding out about it and acting aghast at the sheer despair of their situation. Maybe if one of them had taken advantage of the surprise to put a few bullets in some idiot heads, we might've kicked this off into some actual content, but that still wouldn't have come until 16 minutes in, and of course, they did the exact opposite of that. They all went off to form little clubs… which they had already done… and to mope about their feelings… which they were also already doing.

It's a good thing Saturdays are so dismal, or this melodramatic borefest of an episode over what should be its selling point would've been the end of things for me. I still honestly can't see how they can turn the lack of a budget, lack of focus on characters, and lack of characters with any actual drive to accomplish anything… even when its their damned lives on the line… into a passable story.
