SN11 E19: The Chitters
Written By: Nancy Won

Okay peeps, let me start off by saying… I’m sorry.
I’m late with this review because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say. I really didn’t want to write something terrible about The Show that I love so much. But, I’m going to. Yep. All I ask is please hold off on the stone throwing until I finish saying what I have to say and have time to duck and cover.
This was what The Famdom calls a MotW (Monster of the Week) episode, but I’m calling it a “place holder” episode. Why? Because all it did was hold the place on Wednesday nights on The CW for The Show. Maybe they’ve spoiled me this season and made me expect more. But seriously, this season has been so incredibly awesome that the bar has been set a little high, and this episode slid under that bar with room to spare.
First, I was a little surprised that we were getting a MotW episode this late in the season, but then it wasn’t even a “hurt me real good” episode like … say… Red Meat was. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I got the whole “finish line” symbolism they were going for, and I did flinch a little at that one… but did it make me hurt? No.
I also totally got the whole dual brothers sitch too. I did wince a little at that one. But it didn’t make my feels beg for mercy… it didn’t even make my eyes glisten a little. And, I guess that was the biggest problem.
I want them to emotionally compromise me. And, this week they didn’t even come close. I want them to make me feel like this….

And this week, I just wasn’t feeling it. At. All.
But, next week…. next week, we get The Return of Chuck. I’m sure I’ve made my opinion on this completely obvious, but just in case you’ve missed it…. God is coming next week! So. Can’t. Wait.
You’re not alone. Not even by a longshot. On our weekly live watch that our group holds the word used for this ep was ‘lame’. Not that it didn’t have some memorable moments, but it was the worst episode of the season. A season, I might add, that has been far better than a few of the more recent seasons of the show that I adore.
