All Tomorrow's Parties

Last week’s (theoretically) John-centered episode may have been somewhat of a dud, but “All Tomorrow’s Parties” thankfully takes a step in the right direction by amping up the action and introducing new elements to the serialized plot. There are still several rather painful touches to this week’s episode (every mention of Homecoming immediately draws the audience out of the action- these characters look closer to 30 than high school. Pretending otherwise is ridiculous, and not in a good way), but on the whole, it’s progress, and that’s to be applauded.
