Disliked this one intensely. I already had my rant on how sexist and offensive I found it above, so I won't go there again, but suffice it to say, I've never had an ep of this show make me so angry or leave me so offended and disappointed.

I don't like Rebecca, and I don't see any chemistry at all between her and Neal, so that whole thing is a big turn off for me. The passionate, geeky everywoman thing is not coming naturally, plus she has this permanently glazed-over aura. I can't tell if the character is off, and is herself playing a part andpputting up a front, and that's why it feels so phony, or if the actress is just doing a bad job with the role, but the performance is flat and off-putting, and the interaction between her and Neal is dull, at best, and icky, at worst. Because despite Mozzie's commentary on Neal's attraction to her, I've never seen anything that makes me believe he's genuinely attracted, so it comes across to me as either him further conning her, or him throwing her some kind of bone out of guilt over getting her fired, and either way, it's unappealing.

I liked the Neal&Jones scenes in this one, but that was about its only positive, for me. This one *really* rubbed me the wrong way.
