I've watched every episode of MM and earlier seasons numerous times. This is definitely the weakest season. And this episode is the worst. It's no fault of the main cast. They all acted the parts they were given very well. Throughout the season, Sarah is used sparsely and Betty awkwardly. The plots are weak and not clever anymore. This episode's bizarre eco-facist takeover of a town was just stupid. How can a pub owner control a town to the point of forcing people's lights off at 7 and rationing their toilet paper when they've been naughty and used electricity? The spying and harassing and opening people's packages should have gotten them charged. People lose their businesses because of it. One woman has to basically make an OF to survive. People can't make or receive their own deliveries. But it's all touted as the perfect solution. The only sympathetic character (who isn't for the eco-fasicm) is killed. And then there's the absolutely clownish caricature of an American. It was embarrassing. Not for Americans, but for the Brit that wrote that nonsense. Beyond cringe from start to finish. So sad.
