For science, I enjoyed the first three eps this season. I'm not a S8-hater. YES, this episode is worsethan "Swap Meat" and "Time for a Wedding" combined.
Awful writing, which has mostly been elucidated already in this thread. But also awful casting (three very bland and at best, averagely talented actors who could not rise above the suckiness of the characters they were playing) and awful direction or whoever is to blame for the utter lack of any sense behind when scenes were filmed from the camera's POV and when they weren't. (Seriously, it would jump back and forth in the middle of people's lines even. And people were filming their own faces all the time for no reason.) I feel like I was supposed to think it was all tragic and sad those guys died, but I was GLAD. I couldn't stand them in the first five minutes of the show already, and then the ep went on and on and on. About the only two things, it has going for it was that it lacked outright offensiveness that wasn't a deliberate character choice, and if you like the "two queens or one king" kind of lines, there were a couple of refs to Dean & Sam's office romance.
