chavalahMuch like this clip episode leaves a disjointed feeling to the hour, I have some disjointed feelings about the episode. :P Mostly good…I think. I do like that the show is returning to Gabrielle’s feelings. The execution may be clunky but the reminder that she is a character with an actual arc this season is most welcome.
That being said…I’m not sure how I feel about her motivations concerning certain spoilery things. :P According to whoosh.org even Renee O’Connor had issues with this development, and she ultimately chalked it up to Gabrielle being human and flawed. And I can always get behind human and flawed characters! Maybe it’s the intensity of her emotions that gives me pause. Apparently they run deep enough to give Gabby some post traumatic stress and provide the impetus for this episode.
We also get some answers, that certainly at least a few fans wanted, about Gabrielle’s quick travel time to Chin. Yay for tying up loose ends! Though boo for some really bad acting by the newbie guest stars. I guess after an episode like the last one, with such great acting across the board, I should just count my blessings. And here we do get the return of two notable guest stars—Ted Raimi as Joxer, and—I’ll leave the other one as a surprise for under the cut! :P
