He hits all the right notes of being a man in control, smarter than everyone else around him, and only gets sloppy when things fall apart. Noel: Henry Darrow plays David Allen and, as he has excelled at over his career, he exudes sleazy charm. Were there things that stood out for you in the episode? And Dolly is the HBIC of this whole thing–that scene when she’s talking with creeper chain guy was amazing. It’s an interesting concept–having the wives–basically holding all the power. I also liked the general Stepford Wives vibes of the plot in general. That was the first time we’ve ever seen Diana kiss anyone correct? However, Diana was just SO awkward with all these things she needed to do–like when they first get into the honeymoon suite and he offers her wine. It was fun seeing her kinda have to do things that are obviously totally out of her comfort zone aka be in a relationship. I liked the sham marriage that Diana has to get into with Christian Harrison (totally hot in like an 80s prepster way). I thought there was a lot of super interesting elements in this episode. You are totally right that after that gas station scene the action certainly goes downhill. Maybe oddly paced is the right way to go about it. Also, that guy and his chain in general gave me the creeps. Maybe it was the lack of a real physical altercation after the actually-pretty-fun gas station scene? Chasing down run-away golf carts and rigged horses (poor Satan) doesn’t exactly seem like a great use of Wonder Woman’s abilities. I didn’t find the episode snoozy, but just…oddly paced. Noel: Certainly it’s more interesting to discuss, I think, than “Mind Stealers From Outer Space” in only for the creepy and quasi(?)-rapey vibe of the hypnotic massages. There were some parts I really liked and then the rest was just like zzzzzzzzzzz.
