Wow, what a great episode. Alison(Salli Richardson-Whitfield) and Jo(Erika Cerra), again WOW. But i do Miss Holly(Felicia Day), though there was a hint she may be coming back.
Colin Ferguson did an outstanding job playing the part of Carter as other characters when there was a “neural switch”. In other words they switched bodies. He is my favorite character, probably because he is out of place in the town, but fills in perfectly. My favorite line of this episode, “I’m half scarecrow, half Andy Griffith”, when Carter and Zane switched bodies.
Neil Grayson(Fargo) is always great to watch. I do have a certain sympathy for him though. He lost his first love after returning form the past. Now finding his next love, Holly, he loses her. He was so excited to be out of “The Matrix” and see Holly, only to be met with bad news. But Jo took the responsibility of telling him.
One thing I am a little confused by, and not sure where it’s going to go, is when Jo had a “talk” with what she thought was Carter. So, Zane and Carter switched bodies. Carter, now in Zane’s body, switches while Zane is in the shower. Immediately Jo, completely naked, steps into the shower behind Zane, now Carter. And Carter, now Zane, ends up in bed with Allison, in only under wear, very sexy under wear. Ok skip ahead a bit, and Allison, Jo, Zane, and Carter realize what happened. Allison isn’t happy Carter, who was Zane at the time, was in the shower with Jo. And Jo isn’t happy that Zane, who was Carter at the time, was in bed with Allison, and he thought he was dreaming so he just went with it.
Ok, back to what I’m confused about. Jo went to talk to Carter, who happened to be Allison at the time, about some sexual tension between them. She lays it all out there trying to get beyond the weirdness, no bad intentions at all. But Carter, remember it’s Allison in his body, doesn’t tell Jo that she’s not talking to Carter. So Jo asks Carter, now Allison, if he has ever just wondered about the two of them, since they work together often and are very good friends. Carter, now Allison, responds by saying no, not really. This makes Jo very uncomfortable. Made me uncomfortable to. I mean Jo just laid it all on the line to get past any awkwardness from all that's been happening. So what next?
Last bit on last night’s episode. The Beer Battered Potato Ring. What you say? Yes, it’s the engagement ring given to Allison by Carter after he proposes to her. It was a totally spur of the moment thing and the only thing he had. I thought that was awesome, perfect Carter style.
That’s it for this episode review. Look forward to many more. Oh yeah, I’m a Wil Wheaton fan, so we need more Parrish.
