Subject: All Things considered I think GA should stick to acting

I am so sad to say that I didn't love this episode. I wanted to love it. I wanted it to be my favorite.

That said, I applaud GA's effort. It's unfortunate that it didn't work out for her. The writing was cliched and the story seemed a bit incohesive, not to mention overdramatic. The directing was likewise overdramatic. The slow-mo walking was what pushed me over the edge. That and the continual music. Is Moby now the spokesband for XFiles? I didn't even know it was Moby until I read it. It sounded more like a bad Lou Reed impersonator.

I wanted to love it more than I loved DD's episode. But I just couldn't. I guess it just goes to show you what a difference all that education made.
