    Show's Not All That Smart

    The Final Five thing makes no sense, neither do the command hallucinations, most of the dialogue is cringe-worthy (except when in the hands of the more experienced actors), and it blows its SFX budget in the first half of the season, leading to long, tedious stretches, and its metaphors for current events are about as ham-handed as a guy with two Honeybaked hams for hands.

    But I'm looking forward to Season 4.
