TV Hot Spot: The Class

The Class Episode 11: The Class Celebrates An Anniversary

Review by: Sal

Hello again. I am posting up my last review for the day, and the honour goes to "The Class". Now I know you have probably heard enough of me today, so tune in tomorrow for a review done by me & Shai on the new ABC series "Big Day". But for now, I guess I can begin with the ratings for the latest episode of "The Class". It scored a a rating of 5.5/8 which means that the episode averaged around 8.7 Million Viewers. This is the exact same as the last fresh episode of "The Class" which aired two weeks ago. Ok so now that we have that down I guess I can quickly start off with the review.

Ok so as we begin, we see Richie & Lina together again. But Lina doesn't seem like her old self. The writers did good, because they didn't make her forget about the whole 'I found out you had a wife while dating me" thing. Which again is what most women would do. But as we continue throughout the episode she finds out that Richie is the right one for her and that even though she has dated many guys in the past, none of them understood her they way Richie does. And they end up together. I also really enjoyed the fact that they gave him fantastic lines in the episode, he was the funniest for me in this episode.

Another thing which I think we should mention about these two is that we did find them together at the end. But Richie's pole dancing and Lina's reaction to him doing that was even funnier. I really enjoyed that part because it was the highlight of the whole episode. This is where "The Class" gets good. This series hasn't been classified by others or by me as a hit, but it is an enjoyable thing to watch. And I am actually glad they are still airing it.

Ok so a critique about the episode. I am sure alot of us agree that they are a bit too many cast members in this series. And when they introduced Kat's neighbour, I was thinking "Oh no not another one". And while I was thinking that I noticed that Ethan was still hanging out with Kat. Now I am going to be very honest, WHAT is he still doing hanging around her? Are they together? Are they friends? Because to be honest she doesn't look like the person who enjoys extra company, and by knowing that Ethan just looks like this stalker.

Anyway, besides that. The writers finally give us an ending which includes Ethan. Ever since the pilot Ethan has been kept in the background. Not having much of a storyline to deal with, but finally the writers decide to end an episode with a shocker concerning Ethan. He slept with Kat's neighbour. The same neighbour who went to Art School with Kat, and the same neighbour who Kat hates. I am sure we are going to see a very funny upcoming episode about this little incident.

Finally. I wanted to point out the whole Duncan & Nicole. Get together already! Episode after episode we watch these two get close. He understands her. She understands him. I don't see why Nicole got married to that moron, and I think that the writers are making it a bit too easy for us to realise that. We all know where this one is going to end up going. Obviously Duncan and Nicole will end up together, and if the writers don't do it. Then I will be quite surprised.

Ok so final thoughts. We didn't get to see Holly's character in this. Only for a short minute or so. But I didn't really mind it that much. Good episode, not great. But I hope the writers keep it up and keep giving us more of these characters. I feel they can do so much with these storylines but are only giving us a small portion. Anyway that is all from me today! Tomorrow we are having a couple of reviews done between Me & Shai! Thanks for reading guys!
