Baywatch nights
paultapner21 February 2024
Three plots this time: murder mystery when a mysterious man in make up runs around the beach at night hitting some people killing others.

Eddie has his wisdom teeth out. And can't get Gina out of his mind.

Shauni has an admirer. Who won't go away.

This starts well with some night time stuff that tries to be atmospheric. But swiftly turns into a bit of a mess. The Eddie plotline tries to suggest certain things but can't quite pull it off.

The Shauni plotline is forgotten about for a bit then they manage to finish it off. Or so you think.

Some things happen offscreen in the murder one. Some things have to be explained in due course. This all ends with an action scene where you wonder why people are doing what they do.

During all this Mitch hangs around with a look why didn't I get a storyline this week? On his face.

This really needed a few more drafts of the script.

Still, Gina and Trevor are around. Hobie is the only one missing. Newmie gets his first bit of dialogue since the pilot episode. And Eddie gets punched twice and more pain follows. The latter two sentences show that you can find something worthwhile in this one.

Warning: Spoilers
The hell? So bad, so dull, even Hobie has more sense than Eddie.

Chess? Murder? Oh, who cares?

Shauni is extremely nice to a freakuzoid who totally doesn't deserve it. Eddie has an extraordinary misunderstanding. Craig hates hasty senators, dancing, and hotel construction.

There is a dentist, a knife, and a swingset. No linguine.

Eight stars for outstanding weirdness.
