It's just another example of the horrible writing of season 1.I'm not going to go back and try to locate which post that was in.  Nor do I understand it. Critics can drive cars. In no case will any comment you have made turn the horrible writing of season 1 into something better.I'm just thankful they upped their game for season 2.</blockquote>
