Yes, yes, yes, I am in agreement whole heartedly with you on this ep. I'm not convinced that Benny is trustworthy either, and I wasn't engaged in his backstory. I mean I guess we needed to know it, but despite everything else that was going on, I felt like it dragged. And, omg, his maker made me laugh -- how Twilight was he? Awful acting, I thought.

You are giving Amelia more leeway than I am though. I'm having a difficult time imagining how her rudeness and judgmental attitude can be justified even if it is all a defensive mechanism. I think Sam has way more right to that kind of shit but he doesn't treat other people like dirt. Oh, did you notice the two beer bottles and glasses on her coffee table? She was drinking from a mug though. It was as though she'd had visitors. I thought it was kind of weird too, given her freak out when she found Sam in her apartment (obviously working on the plumbing) that she'd left her door wide open. She's kind of a mystery I'm not particularly interested in solving.

I agree with you about the scenes not feeling like they meshed. It just felt disjointed to me. I'm going to watch again though. Sometimes on second viewing, I get a different feel for an ep.
