Time waster saved by Rose.

The episode was doomed with an unfunny storyline main theme. Nothing was remotely witty or funny until the pretty (well put together) Rose (Melanie Lynskey) Scrabble scene. Up until then each scene bombed.

All the actors (especially Charlie Sheen) appeared to struggle delivering weak lines that didn't work. Jake (Angus T Jones) wasn't used right and it showed how he looked uninspired.

Myndy Crist as Wendy was only ok. Could of used better casting. But maybe she'd be better with a more favorable script.

This stinker broke a streak of some very good episodes. Hopefully this is an outlier and the quality picks up again.
