You Know An Episode Is Bad When...
16 May 2020
...you're bored watching it within the first 10 minutes. I was only marginally interested in this episode during that time and, unfortunately, nothing happened to boost my interest. What DID happen was that I was "treated" to a 45-minute diatribe on the dangers of the practice of fracking, a controversial method of extracting oil and natural gas from the ground. Is there anything worse than TV writers who feel the need to "educate" viewers? As usual in such situations, this episode is heavy-handed and preachy. What's worse, though, is that even the episode is slow-moving and as dull as dishwater. The writers of this particular episode managed to waste 45 minutes of my time with this tripe. Safe to say that it will be the first and last time that this episode will waste any more of my time. I will definitely be skipping it on my next CSI go-round.
