Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Review
Written By: Melissa
Well, that was a confusing episode. I spent the first half
trying to figure out what was going on because it didn't flow
smoothly from 'Family Ties'. What I didn't understand was why
Matt was getting a flatmate [roommate] and basically what was
going on with Draco/Max, I did get it eventually but it was hard!
It was good to see the sacred blade again, and have that play
a bigger role. I liked how the seeds were mentioned but there
was another plot thread that I assume will tie in somewhere. I
loved Draco's interview, very original. I also thought it was
very clever that at the beginning I thought Max was evil, then
with the job interview etc. I thought he was good and then it
was revealed that he really was evil but then he finally returned
to the rightside in the end. I especially liked the big finale
fight, it was fun to read.
Piper's early concerns over her and Leo's ability to cope with
the twins and then her later realisation that she should just
appreciate life was very Charmed-ish, a nice underlying issue.
Leo has to tell Piper about the seeds! Oh my god, if he doesn't
then...! Phoebe and Cole were very married, which I liked and
I liked this new insight into Cole's character (although I'm sure
he's only a hundred years old and I cannot see Cole cooking somehow).
Paige was...extreme but the fact that she made her peace with
Max before the end was lovely and made it even more poignant.
Matt was incredible, all the way through, very realistic, I can't
imagine the pain he must be going through. Max was such a fantastic
character and I especially hate how the past couple of episodes
have been making us like him just so he could die and we could
be all upset! 8/10 for a fantastic ending and plots spanning
episodes.
