In this weeks episode of the 'Lame Ones' the scriptwriters desperation plumbed new depths . Yes this week we were treated to the delightful nugget that the new one (you know thingy) uses a plastic battery powered 'toy' in her spare time much to the embarrassment of her 'sisters' who accidentally walk in on her having a play with it.
In the history of gratuitous unnecessary unwanted undignified detail in a TV show that is of Oscar Winning cringeworthiness. Otherwise there were the same tedious bouts of neurotic soul baring that are becoming the shows trademark and that make it so unwatchable and that tell us that the scriptwriters have run out of ideas (it happened exactly in the same way in 'Stupour Girl' too albeit they at least kept their dignity).
Beyond that the dialogue was dreary, the acting naively poor, the storyline unstructured and lacking coherence (even the villains are unconvincing) and the continuity bizarre (the idea that Labelle's Lady Marmalade would have been playable let alone greeted with rapturous applause in a 1920's Speakeasy, for the magical or not was absurd).
All one can hope now is that now Julian McMahon has left the FBI stable he might return as 'the Source' for one last swansong and do away with the 'Lame Ones' for once and for all because this show definitely needs putting out of its misery. Its become a sad tawdry parody of the original.
