Mehhhh. Just, meh. I found myself skimming this one quite early as it trudged along to the big finale twist. Honestly, none of the characters grabbed me — except maybe Miranda and her flirtation with AJ — and I really didn't care about what happened to them, Joseph Carter–related or not. O'Leary certainly went for an interesting experiment with this one, but for me, at least, it simply didn't land.
