Not sure what they think they're doing here...
I've been really impressed with the subersive nature of the show up to this point. I'm hoping it's a one-off hiccup, because it's some of most lazy 'girl boss' writing I've seen in a long time. It's called subtext... The show just BARELY stopped short of a female actor shoving her face and shouting, "BOY BAD, GIRL GOOD."
It's nearly that bad.
Up to this point I've been really impressed with the structure and writing. While the message has always been there, it's been amazingly executed. This was just plain lazy.
I would actually recommend skipping this episode. It may put a bad taste into your mouth. Hopefully, better storytelling ahead!
Tudyk is a genius, as usual.
