Felicity Season 4 Episode 20

Don't get me wrong, the time travel arc still works my nerves but I find this episodes to be the most enjoyable of the entire arc. Why? If you're going to ruin a character, then at least do it the way they did it with Ben. The beginning of this episodes was hilarious. Ben's confident and witty attitude definitely put some light in the dreadful situation. I enjoyed watching him being a lot more smug than usual. And Felicity's facial responses were all great. If I can say I got anything out of the arc, then it's a good laugh. I also enjoyed seeing Julie again. It's hard to make a simple favorite in such a great and developed cast, but Julie was definitely high on the list. It was enjoyable to see her again and not out of character. I also liked how they retouched the Ben & Julie relationship. I did find it insulting for Julie to believe Felicity so easily when she asked can she date Ben. It was like season 1 all over again. I did, however, preferred Ben/Julie much more in season 1 than Ben and Felicity. So I considered it a reward to my personal likings. I also found benefits in Mehgan's story as well. I was glad to see she didn't take Sean back so fast. She was actually showing a emotionally turmoiled side to her too. In seasons 3 & 4, we see how Mehgan starts to become one of the group, but we never saw her sad or distressed. That was just another small benefit of a weak arc.





The whole Spin the Bottle game also brung light to the show. Not only because it was a cute moment in the show, but it was interesting to see how a game of Spin the Bottle works at a table full of angry tension. All in all, I'm not forgiving the arc at all, but it's better to look at the benefits of it than to spend the remainder of the review complaining about it. Seeing a few familiar faces and good couple of jokes from a already weak season would be the benifits I'm talking about.
