SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2004 MEGAPOST, Part Three
Wonderfalls - 1.10 "Lying Pig" & 1.11 "Cocktail Bunny" Double Review!


So both of these episodes are available online. I GOT TO SEE PRISTINE COPIES OF BOTH. Since plot outlines probably wouldn't be that exclusive, I'll just include my thoughts on each.

"Lying Pig"

Out of the five episodes I've managed to see, "Lying Pig" easily ranks as the best. It's a perfect blend of heartbreak and comedy, where cruelty is exacted at the expense of Jaye's love life and not at the expense of the guest character of the week. Perfectly melancholy and what not.

"Cocktail Bunny"

This episode was another matter, reaching the nihilistic levels of the one with the undercover stuttering reporter. I have to admit that I thought "Cocktail Bunny" was the last episode of the series and that its ending was anti-climactic. Armed with the right information, I'd say that it's merely a harried and messy resolution.
