I mean hands down right? Like Steve and I are odd, but then you've got Jonno...
I always felt that this was a bit of a letdown after Boy King, but it is still a fun one.
Lots of 70s weirdness this week, style and decorating wise.
This one is another where the show is trying to teach us something, in an entertaining way. It is a VERY pro transplant position, a position the three of us of course share. The almost mugging for the camera talking about how great transplants are is a bit weird. This was not always the case, and in the late 70s when the idea of signing up to be a donor was new, the concerns about harvesting organs from the living were real (in people's minds) concerns. The show is telling us 'this is nonsense, in fact, it would involve a conspiracy...' which I like. A lot. Now, it's ham fisted at best...
Fun performances this week.
That said, lots happens that we don't know why.
At times you almost forget that there are two idiots trying to kill Jim as well.
Yost's house is the same one from the episode 'Guilt' from earlier this season.
The sheer weaselness of Yost is probably my favourite bit of the episode, but I also liked the quirkiness of rhe Sorel character. She reminded me a bit of Meredith from Mad Men (surprise) I think she's more competent than she lets on. Of course the character isn't as fleshed out, she's a one off from 50 years ago vs a series regular from the prestige tv era.
Sometimes I find Rocky annoying. I think that's the point. I imagine Jon finds me annoying sometimes...
