katikatAnother three episodes set in the US. I loved them jumping off the ship to escape the enraged mob. Ha! That was funny.
But, you know, these episodes seem to be missing the... spark of the first seasons. I mean, S3 had the best scene of all - Bertie stealing the painting! - but as the show progresses, the plots become quite... old, recycled, you know? Even Bertie seems tired of the shenanigans. Also, it's a bit annoying that they keep changing the actors playing the various characters, it's rather confusing :(
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but to me it feels like Bertie is... maturing. I could actually see him settling down in the country with Jeeves or traveling through the world with him. It seems like even Bertie is slowly having enough of his friends' dragging him places and getting him in the most ridiculous troubles. It's very subtle, no glaring changes, just a feeling...

I am convinced that once all his troublesome friends married off, he lived happily ever after with Jeeves in their flat. ;)

Once I finish the show, you'll have to rec me your favorite fics so be ready! ;)
