That's kind of how I felt after having watched it the first time as well. Where was the twist, the drama, the darkness? But I guess the twist was the lightness of it. It was full of red herrings as usual, like the pill roulette which could have made things very intense, but they were just tic tacs, and the list of names could have turned them all against one another, but instead it kind of brought them together. Everything that would have normally gone horribly wrong and turned things ugly just fizzled out. It was really just a love story. I think that's what you have to look at it as. It was kind of nice, it had the man who couldn't choose who to love between two ladies and lost them both, the man whose lover divorced him, and then the unlikely deaf girl who fancied the Michael Jackson but got rejected, and of all of them she's ends up being the only one who knows what's going on and gets what she wants in the end and the others sort of get what they had coming to them. Everyone gets what they had coming to them, really. Not a typical no 9 in any way, and like I said, I prefer the dark stuff, but there were still some nice things in this episode with the way the lyrics formed much of the plot, and the insight provided by deafness in such a loud setting. Not an episode I can see myself watching over and over because I think the music would drive me mad, but I can't say I'm particularly disappointed.
) yes.
