Grade: You know, it wasn't horrible, exactly, but it relied too much on plot contrivances and didn't let the characters act like actual people. Plus, there was way too much therapy and not enough Wonder Twins, which, considering how annoying I generally find them, comes as a surprise to me to admit. Call it a C+ -- a tiny, tiny bit better than average.

Tippi Blevins sometimes feels like she needs therapy after one of these episodes, but finds a glass of wine to be cheaper and tastier. You can reach her at b_tippi@yahoo.com.
