What I'm Watching: The Loop (Final Episodes)

The Loop: Season 2, Episodes 9 & 10 "Fatty" & "The Stranger" (F-)

Yeah, nothing more to say here, save for two tidbits basically unrelated to the content of tonight's episodes. For some unexplained, inane reason (if anyone knows, please tell me why), FOX decided to switch the first of the three episodes scheduled for last night to 7:00 instead of 7:30. Why air a show at 7:00, 8:30, and 9:30? It makes so much more sense to air it at 7:30, 8:30, and 9:30. In any case, I will not go to too much trouble to find the missed episode. I am sure it is not anything worth seeing.

Regardless, I hope that showrunners take this example to heart that a show cannot really survive the dismissal of two important characters and the complete downwards transformation of intriguing, sharp characters to poor caricatures. I recommend that anyone who watched this season of "The Loop" take a look at season one of the show (below).
