the whole perry/rush subplot didn't even need to be in this episode. none of it. in fact, none of the B-plot needed to be in it. the only function it served to the main plot was to bail the writers out of a potentially compelling conversation between rush and mckay by giving rush an "out." that's lame. everyone would love to see what the dynamic of rush and mckay would be like. but no, that's too good.
i get that rush and his "mandy" need to have that special moment where perry's dream comes true, but it should have been addressed in a different episode (or given that the show is ending, perhpas not at all) and the entire hour should have been dedicated to the main plot with the Langarans.
also, did anyone else think that Perry was starting to get psycho attached? by the end she was annoying the crap out of me because she was so clingy in this "i need to spend every waking second with you, rush" kind of way. and the whole premise of her program simulation was predicated on the abstract notion of "love"? to test rush? then accuse him of not loving her when he so clearly cares deeply for her? Perry's manufactured pitty party -- it was really immature and super annoying.
all the potentially great developments that could have happened in this episode were ignored. it seems like the writers are afraid to advance the story. every time the door opens and an interesting avenue is introduced the writers slam the door shut. when there's good news or something remotely promising comes along that can bring new dynamic to the show, i've learned to expect it's too good to be true and it will never be.
as a viewer, i'm often motivated to imagine the possibilities of where the story can go, but the writers seem to want to keep plugging the passageways that can lead to so much more.
