First season was great, this two hour episode leaves me undecided

First, recasting one of the main actors is never a good thing, and throughout the episode I was not able to accept it, the original naive good mood got lost. Tolerance is a two headed ax, I am always sorry to see if the one asking for it have a hard time providing it.

This said, the Wachowskis are few of the truly visionary directors, and besides a good story, this show has so much more and deeper content. This episode tries to set up for more, but somewhat it got caught up in clichés and unnecessary fillers.

I did not realize when starting straight after the last episode of season one that this would be extra long, therefore I became a bit inpatient and was hoping, that this episode would make a point that was beyond a pathetic birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and new year's eve. Well, maybe the last words of the episode will keep my hope up, but the episode itself was unsatisfactory.
