I am no...I just watched this episode this morning. I am not sure I would have watched it at all except for this line in your review, “However, last night's episode reminds me once again of the show's promise.” I didn’t read further at the time to avoid being spoiled.<BR/><BR/>As you can tell from the first sentence, I am on the verge of bailing on the series.<BR/><BR/>I general agree with your review, but I didn’t like the episode as much as you. The problems you pointed out annoyed me more than they did you. And the fact that Sarah had an annoying partner didn’t help since it added just one more annoying character to a show already filled with them. Conner is the most annoying, but Sarah, Mason and the two other regulars are also annoying.<BR/><BR/>Normally I don’t find Tony particularly annoying, but this week I did. He is pissed at Mason and Conner and has good reason to be. I am surprised he didn’t fire them. And if he had screwed only with them I would have been fine. But the other members of the team didn’t deserve to have their weekend ruined, just to punish the two lead clowns.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea why Erin was so forgiving at the end.<BR/><BR/>I can appreciate Mason’s dilemma and Erin’s unhappiness, but Mason’s workaholicsm isn’t new. Sooner or later Erin has to either find a way to deal with it (for instance by getting a career or serious hobby of her own that gives her fulfillment) or get a divorce. If she is as miserable as portrayed, watching her stay in the current situation is not fun and makes you lose any sympathy you have for her.<BR/><BR/>Mason also has to decide what his priorities are.<BR/><BR/>On “The West Wing”, Leo’s wife divorced him for letting his job consume his life and Leo felt it was a trade off he had to make. But Leo was White House Chief-of-Staff. Mason run ad campaigns. The former job may be worth a marriage, but advertising?!?!<BR/><BR/>Like you, I want to know why Mason puts up with Conner like he does. If we grant Conner is a genius copywriter then I can see why he is still employed, but why is he running Mason’s life and career?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
