Commentary: Finally Showing Some Improvement…
Some commentary from your webmaster…
Episode #5, “The Education of Jaime Sommers,” may have been my favorite episode yet, after recently writing a column about how the Jaime character had become unsympathetic and rendering me apathetic.
The episode had a few things going for it that I had not seen before in the series. For starters, Michelle Ryan really should be allowed to keep her natural accent. Not only is it very sexy; but the honesty in Ryan’s performance shines through more. I don’t know if it is the tone of voice, or the fact that maybe she tries too hard to sound American; either way, it worked.
Secondly, FINALLY LESS BECCA. Lyndsey Wagner didn’t need a little sister, and neither does Jaime.
Third, as much as I love Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Corvus, she steals the show whenever she’s on and brings out the flaws in the rest of the show. Focusing on Jaime here… was a very good thing.
And then finally, the addition of Jordan Bridges as Tom. Let’s be honest here: Jaime and Will Anthros had little to no chemistry at all. Here, there’s some spark. I hope to see it continue.
Either way, it seems a step in the right direction for me. Agree/disagree? Leave a comment, or visit the forum!
