Episode Report Card Demian: F | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Jesus Is Just Alright With Me
By Demian | Season 7 | Episode 20 | Aired on 05.07.2005
Sun Porch. Aftermath. Endlessly talky aftermath, in fact, during which it becomes groaningly obvious that none of these fools know why Piper's spell dragged Boring Jesus into the past from 2028. Of note: Wes Ramsey's really pushing the Junior Dolt characterization, here, and please. One of those morons per episode is more than enough, thank you very much. Though I must admit he's doing a damn fine job aping the Dolt's inflections. Heh. "Aping the Dolt." Hee. Also, the lighting designer's chosen to bathe Boring Jesus in this preternatural white glow throughout this scene, presumably to hammer home the fact that this version of Piper's older son, in stark contrast to the previous variations we've encountered, grew up to be undeniably good. Unfortunately for the lighting designer, it's having quite the opposite effect not only on me, but also on many who've been posting on the forum boards. We're convinced, you see, that this is all an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the adult Psycho on his lame-witted elders for some reason or another. Maybe we're just desperate for an interesting character, and God knows Boring Jesus here isn't cutting it. In any event, there's banter about how wise and optimistic Raige and Piper respectively become in the future, and now I'm convinced the evil Psycho's pulling one over on these idiots, because a smart Raige? No. NO.
Phoebe bounces into the front hall at this point to...I totally don't care, because, seriously, that top of hers? Let me put it this way: If I were magically transported into the past and one of my aunts was flashing that much unfettered tit in my direction, I'd be speeyacking all over the house. Boring Jesus seems immune to the horror, however, so Phoebe gets to remind us all that time travel gives her a migraine before The Maori People ring Raige's Whitelightery bell, much to the latter's exaggerated aggravation. Boring Jesus urges Muggy McGowan to tend to her charge while he sorts things out at the Manor with his mother and his bony skank of a half-naked aunt. I think he really just wants her to have her impending epileptic seizure in a place where he won't have to witness it. Once Raige has disappeared through the ceiling, Boring Jesus grins, "Okay! You guys cast a spell to communicate with me, right? So, let's go talk to me!" With that, he lopes upstairs while Piper and the Skank wiggle their eyebrows at each other.
