Annoying episode

Warning: Spoilers
Clark brings a dead bird back to life. Clark brings dead flowers back to life. Doesn't heal his dying father. I do now understand why this show is called God's Favorite Idiot.

Clark's vision turns out to be true in episode 6 of God's Favorite Idiot. Judy and Gene are both in the hospital. The former will be okay, but Gene suffers severe damage and is put in a coma. The logical question that had to be asked after the previous episode's mishap is shot at Frisbee by Amily: why didn't he magic-proof (or Harry Pottered) the backyard and sauna area. The answer? Because Chamuel didn't file an N919. That's why. Oh, he also lets out that the hospital was not a Satan-free zone. But why wouldn't God help Gene? Why would he let it happen?

Are those bouts of doubt warning signals and a throwback to the adage "god works in mysterious ways"? Quite possibly. Milton's radicalism continues outsides Clark's house. There is a brief moment when he touches Clark that his hand burns. Milton notices it but continues with the protests and I think this is a big hint that he might come on the Clark bandwagon believing his word to be true. It is a big "maybe" right now, but let's see. What did we see? How can Falcone be so involved in the project that he cannot see it is going all wrong for him? The nerve on him to present something like this. Episode six is the most disappointing in the entire series - and that is saying something. Maybe it is not disappointed because to be that, one also has to have some expectations. By this point, I have none.

'God's Favorite Idiot' seems like a giant blot on its power couple's body of works. Episode six brings forth so many bad executive decisions that seem incapable of being made by a single person. Some of the creative choices like Chamuel and Satan's brief duel, the office co-workers, and the candle scene comes across as something placed to stop leakages. Their romance is extremely poorly written. Both actors look confused about what's to be done. The blocking of the scenes gives them no confidence either. It is too awkward to watch them together. There's so much wrong with the entire show that surfaces in episode six. God, please bear me some strength to finish the series.
