Goofs

When Jason sits down to watch TV after returning home from fighting with his girlfriend he turns on his flat panel television. The TV clearly makes a sound when turned on and off as if it was an old tube TV whereas flat panel televisions do not make that sound when turned on/off.

Tara Thornton: [to her mother, after being hit with a bottle] Alright. You may have carried me and nursed me, but obviously you are now set on killing me. And if I'm forced to choose between you and me, guess what? You lose!

User Reviews

Mine continues to show the series potential

But overall the sex and pointlessly added in dialogue hurt the episode, season one is a weak season for me, its good fun with interesting plots but seriously overdone scenes with no real importance to the overall story arc
