This is one of the later; you just have to sit back and watch Noel neatly connect the dots. And some of the dot connecting still didn't make a lot of sense.<br /><br />One part in particular was seriously TMI and totally irrelevant.<br /><br />The side story of his family life irked me. He didn't really strike me as someone who would stay away from his family for their own good. And sure enough, just when I was really convinced that they were better off, he goes back to them.<br /><br />I feel like this wild card could have such potential to explore something interesting, but that certainly didn't happen here.<br /><br />It was nice to see Rusty for a few seconds.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119082365881285289noreply@blogger.com
