The last few episodes have at least been funny, or trying to be. I like harry and the kids interaction, still funny, sheriff Mike and Dept Liv are funny as is the stuff going on with Torres and this show desperately needs the comedy as the story is so aimless.

I strongly disliked every time they get the girls together to discuss a social issue, this time being preserving the old town feel from the evil corporations. It was just so without any depth or grounding. We get it, corps bad, small town people good, but coming from hollywood money, maybe not in a position to comment.

Some of the smaller characters are able to fill the comedy slots. Nurse Ellen is pretty funny, and give props to Harry, he's delivering quite a bit of quality comedy in his delivery although it's all the same jokes, they're good jokes. Going to be hard to keep it going if the show goes to its 3rd season. I certainly don't want to sit through more social issues with a straight face episodes, and they're running out of mileage on many of the joke hits they've got. Ie the mayor and his wife, and what ever is going on with old age sarah connor. That story line isn't delivering at all.

Not sure what was up with the peeks into the future segments. They didn't really land a point yet.
