So you judge the show on an episode title?
What about the actual show did you not like?

If you mean the one which concentrated on the husband, I thought it was good. We see things from the husbands perspective and learn that his wife is wrong about him, and that what he does is to protect her.
... No, that is not the episode I am talking about. And no, I am not judging the show on an episode title - I had believed that that would be enough to show my beef with the show, but apparently it doesn't seem to have registered.

To clarify, my biggest beef with the show is that the creators seem to have chosen that korean couple to be the token minority figure. From what I have seen of their portrayals, they are too damn stereotypical, and even then the creators used the wrong stereotypes, seeming to liken their nation of origin with a particular nation neighbouring it.

The show, in it's other aspects is fine. It's got hobbits and aliens and adam and eve and everything. It's just that for a show to be entertaining to me, it has to get whatever it is portraying reasonably right or seemingly justified; Lost doesn't do that, at least not with the "korean" characters.

Edit: That's it. I've given this piece of turd that is hollywood enough attention. If you still don't know what I mean, PM me.
