Yes, we definitely need some more gratuitous shots of Charlotte's ass.

oh, and since nobody asked, my grades:

counter-point
This all seemed really jumbled. The first episode was rushed and off-tone. There was way too much recap, way too many characters explaining things that had happened to people that already knew.

Highlight of the night-
The black dude with the super deep voice in the "Dead or Alive" montage.
