I skimmed through some of the Top Gear subforum before I got around to watching this episode, so I came into it with bad expectations. So it ended up being better than I thought.
Maybe we fans should watch any future Top Gear with lowered expectations. After all, we spend so much time pissing and moaning about it, so why not?
Actually, TG has done a pretty good job of training us to expect utter sublimity (is that a word??) every time. Now when we get merely average to good we feel cheated. Spoiled, aren't we?
Granted, there have been problems this series, especially the overplaying of the characters and budget cuts and maybe they do need a rest to recharge, but it's pretty unfair and impossible to expect every ep to be fabulous, don't you think?
I'm finding that there are little gems in each ep if you look for them- well,except for ep 14x2, which I can't bring myself to watch again.
