Warning: Spoilers
Friends, the producers achieved what I thought was impossible, concocted an episode worse than the pilot.

And they did it with gusto, calling the awful Darren Lynn Bousman (of the "Saw" series fame) to helm this one, bringing all his cheap edit tricks and style-over-substance thang to the mix.

Since the beginning, I knew I was about to see a "hip and modern" - whatever Bousman thinks that is - teen angst ridden plot. Smelled "Twilight" crap all over.

During the development, the previously quoted stench became more and more unbearable and I started to be very annoyed by the stupid decisions the main character made - the hot to trot Brianna Evigan - and a red light started to flash: "idiotic twist ahead".

And so it came.

Man, this ending was atrocious. The idea was not so bad, really. The problem was how the episode reached that point. And the capacity of some "zombies" to keep popping up on every corner.

Damn, this episode was a waste of time.
