A little blah...

So, like I say in the title, I thought this episode was a little blah. The escarghost storyline was as cute as that portmaneau, but they didn't seem to do much with it. Maybe they couldn't. It was a snail. The very last shot, where Trevor decides to stop watching it get sucked off because it took too long, seemed weak at first but kinda grew on me after a while.

I was disappointed in the direction that they took regarding Isaac's book. I think I was turned off by the idea that they would try to write anything in this *250-year-old invaluable historical American artifact, irrespective of how many blank pages it held* (that all would have been bolded if I could have in this review). They could have used the existence of Isaac's diary as a jumping-off point for a whole new variation on that storyline. (Sam: "Y'know, Isaac, the publisher is going to want some kind of source documentation for most of this." Isaac: "Well, I have a diary..." Jay: "An actual, physical diary? Museums would love that, it would be amazingly valuable.") I thought turning it into a vampire story was a copout.

Too bad, that seems to put the end to the "Sam's book about Isaac" storyline. I thought they could've done more with that.🤔😉😊

Quotes
Sharon: [On Zoom call with Samantha] This. This is a real book. In fact, I got several interested nods from David Remnick last night at a dinner party in Balthazar last night.
Pete Martino: These fancy pants New Yorkers. Give me a twice baked at Tony Roma's and I'm a happy pappy.
Samantha: So what are the next steps?
Sharon: Oh, well, we're looking at doing a spring launch. Probably do a little book tour. Maybe some morning TV.
Sasappis: Oh my God! You're going to meet Hoda!
Sharon: In the meantime, we'll need to have one of our people verify your primary sources.
Isaac Higgintoot: [to Samantha] But I'm your primary source.
Samantha: [to Sharon] I was hoping that the copious notes I took would suffice. The actual primary source documents are incredibly old. I wouldn't want to risk sending them.
Sharon: Don't worry. We'll come to you. Our authenticator is a pro. He will handle them with care. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Zoom about an erotic vampire novel called "Bitten and Smitten".
[Sharon signs off]
Sharon: [Sam closes her laptop]
Hetty Woodstone: What about appliance erotica. Is that a genre? Could that be a genre?
Isaac Higgintoot: I shouldn't need verification. Everything I told you is true.
Sasappis: Yeah. It's shocking that they won't take a ghost's word for it.
Hetty Woodstone: The Maytag Chronicles. Writes itself.
