To quote the cornily written, and cornily delivered, live from the police officer girl, " Ay dios mio."
"That's for Kyle, and that's for my son!"
It is like the writers copy and pasted the most stereotypical, cliche lines that they learned in their first semester of screenwriting class.
This show is in its first season and it is already awful... Supernatural was cheesy at times but the acting and writing was consistent... and the good episodes were great.
One of the biggest issues is that This show is so hellbent on making Latika and Carlos happen as main characters. They aren't. They are side characters that shouldn't get 50% of the episode for their own storylines. This show should be focused on... wait for it... THE WINCHESTERS... I think a weak spot of Supernatural was the lack of secondary characters... but The Winchester got it wrong but making 4 main characters. Too many people, not enough story.
It's just all poorly written as this episode shows. Nobody cares about Carlos, nobody cares about Latika... and to be honest the only reason anybody "cares" about John and Mary is because of who they are to the Supernatural series. Across the board the characters are written watery thin and generic.
Maybe that's why they're building towards bringing Jensen Ackles into the show. Is he the world's best actor? No, but he at least has the Charisma of a lead (something these 4 do not have) and crushes the role of Dean.
