Blind Faith

My main impression after watching this episode is that the make up department was on holiday. Some of the cast just look weird. Paul, for instance, has five o' clock shadow on half of his face, but not the other half. And it's not like it is left half, or top half, just random parts of his face have it and others don't. Charlie, also, looks unnaturally pale and full of wrinkles. He looks worse here than in Two and a Half Men. You would think that the make up and lighting could easily fix that, but it seems that one or both of those departments were absent.

As for the episode, it is a bit better than the previous few, which were pretty much completely devoid of jokes. This one is not brilliant, but there are a few funny bits. But still, the show is clearly on the decline.

A couple of things that do not sit well in this season - half of the mayor's staff is gone, and nobody mentions them at all. Not a word about James, Nikki or Janelle. I get that maybe there was bad blood with the actors leaving, but still it would make sense to at least mention them in passing and have some sort of explanation about what happened to them. Even Mike is never talked about, not even by Caitlin. Are they still a couple, or not? And the new assistant, this is the first time that people acknowledge as the new hire, but she was there in the previous episode, but she was never properly introduced, she just appeared out of the blue.
