"predictable" really?
"Honey Bee?" - that was SO far from predictable it could become "legendary!"

Castro was referring to the ending in general, of course.

As most of the promotional material referred to the piece as a romantic comedy, I went in assuming boy and girl got together in the end. Honey bee business aside, the show doesn't re-invent the wheel, but it does do what it does in an engaging and entertaining way. I agree (as I wrote in a previous post) that O'Byrne and Messing have lovely chemistry, and that Messing especially impressed me with a performance that was authentically very far from her on-screen persona. (I have tended to find her cloying on television, going back to her pre-W&G days) Also, the more I think about it, the scene between O'Byrne and Maloney as Tony is near death is perfectly calibrated--tender and emotional without overdoing it. This is not a revolutionary work, but I enjoyed it more than most things I've seen this season.
