Still, he added some much needed flirtatious fun to an otherwise boring episode. Speaking of Magnus, he truly was the highlight of the hour, even though he too fell into exposition hell. Yes, I know Alec is gay, but there had to be a better way to reveal that morsel of information than putting the whole team at risk.Īfter all, wasn't it obvious in his interactions with Magnus that he might be swinging the other way? How can someone even infer that from that memory? Of course, he loves Jace most. Izzy wishing she was as flat chested as Clary? Awkwardly lame, especially when Clary looked down at her not-so-flat chest.Ĭlary's scream as Jace drew the rune on her? Stupidly, laughably lame.Īlec becoming so embarrassed about the memory the memory demon extracted from him? Unbelievably lame.įor a guy who is all about doing the right thing, it doesn't seem like him to break the circle just because his secret love for Jace was revealed. Jace smirking at her embarrassment? Arrogantly lame boy moment. Simon storming off and leaving the Institute? Lame nerd fit.Ĭlary stumbling over her words after seeing a shirtless Jace? Lame girly moment. If I was a shadowhunter, I would be laughing at this guy, not shaking in fear.Įvery character over explaining not only the what, but the why of what was happening in every single scene? Mind-numbingly lame. What I don't get is doesn't Valentine realize what's happening? Wouldn't he go and try to find himself some more durable and evil-minded men? It shouldn't be this easy. How is it even believable that anyone would be afraid of someone who can't even surround himself with men who can defeat simple shadowhunters and demons? Later, at Magnus' warehouse lair, they are once again quickly defeated. You would think that Valentine's men would have a little more muscle to them. One shows up at the downworlder's party, and not only is he quickly detected, he is easily taken down by Alec's arrows. After this hour, though, I have to wonder whether or not his membership to the Big Bad Club has been revoked, and he's just faking everyone out, because Valentine is the worst Big Bad I have ever seen on television.Įvery time he sends members of his army to hunt down Clary, they are easily defeated.
