I don't usually write reviews on episodes of series, but on this one I felt the need to get serious. Not every series can pull of a trick like this, since a gimmick like rhyming is mostly a hit-and-miss. The episodes in this season felt lackluster so far, the acting and the stories sure won't win an Oscar. But this one is at least something new, if a bit gimmicky, and was worth to watch, unlike the rest, which were rickety. I know my rhymes are a little forced, but so were the ones on the screen. Some of them were so bad and coarse, they almost made me scream.
I like, that they brought in the rapper dude from Dr. House. He busted some mad lines and rhymes that really brought down the house. But the short stories, too, were visions of past seasons, and I think they included them for all the wrong reasons. The episodes back then were really fun, charming and witty, but these later ones feel like they were designed by a committee. It seems the writers finally ran out of good ideas, so they chew on stripped bones like a bunch of starved hyenas. Using tropes like rhyming will only fly once, but including more of them won't help an ounce. I hope they soon come up with some better stories, or the audience will up go watch some other series...
