so we got a Nick episode last night, and some real drug use. i was into the whole Nick just trying to bring the family together at first and the writers not letting that last too long and having him lose his shit. going on a bender, fucking a prostitute who’s a mom, and finally smashing up his house. while he’s not the deepest character in the current series, they added some dimensions to him in his episode that i would love to see played out more as this series ends and the next one begins.

i really think that Matty, as awesome as his facial expressions and acting are in some scenes, kind of became one dimensional to me with his whole ‘i might love Liv’ bullshit. which is exactly what that is. bullshit.

it’s interesting to see what Mini is going to do now since she’s ‘done’ with Nick, and doesn’t really have any friends now. this episode, in all honesty, was kind of run of the mill and set up towards the end of the series i feel. there was no real meat to the episode besides Nick realizing how important Matty really is to them, and rebuilding their relationship as brothers.  Franky is practically asexual at this point. there’s gotta be a breaking point between Grace & Rich no matter how perfect they seem together. and finally, i’m really wondering how they’re going to play out this series. it kind of fell into a lull these past 2 episodes, which is understandable since they’re new characters and they need to progress storyline instead of blatant stupidity, but still.

Alo’s episode next week seems to be pretty cool. a road trip episode is usually awesome, we remember Michelle’s episode from Series 2 and Effy’s from Series 3. major shit happens in road trip episodes. so here’s to hoping.

as always you can download the episode up top or right here.
