"Get the Message". Some like this episode, some hate it. Me, I used to think it was okay, but as time when on, I noticed it's flaws. One thing some people didn't like about the episode is how bitter Lori was in it. I agree, she was pretty unlikeable. However, this begs the question. WHY was Lori so hostile towards Lincoln? Seriously, what did Lincoln do to warant Lori's hostility towards him? The answer, nothing. Absolutely, nothing. No, him stumbling into her room by accident is not a good reason for her to act the way she did. If Lincoln broke her phone on accident, I would understand. Sure it would be a stupid reason, but at least it would be a reason. Instead she's only hostile towards Lincoln because...because the plot demands it. Just because she's the oldest, doesn't mean she can just yell at her siblings for no reason and kick them out of her room. Then she impatiently forces Lincoln out of the bathroom. And of course she broke his gaming glasses. Lincoln, understandably, leaves a nasty message on her phone, right before Lori give Lincoln a new pair of gaming glasses and apologizes. Only problem is that her apology didn't sound very sincere. Then towards the end, just as Lincoln's message is about to play, she deletes it. Okay, this brings 2 problems. 1) If Lori was going to delete the message anyway, that means Lincoln did all that snooping for nothing. And 2) Really Lori? What if Lincoln had something important to tell you? What if he was in trouble, or his life was in danger? And then there's the ending where Lori reads Lincoln's message, gets angry, and plans to turn Lincoln into a human pretzel. Again, Lincoln went through all that trouble for nothing. And on top of that, Lori doesn't learn anything. *sighs* Why did the episode have to end the way it did? Why did Lori have to be so unlikable throughout the episode? Again, Lincoln did nothing to warrant Lori's hostility towards him. If they wanted to make Lori hostile towards, they have to justify it. Make Lincoln do something to warrant it. Don't just have her hostile for the sake of plot. I think it would've been better if towards the ends, Lincoln told Lori off for her rude behavior towards him and then Lori realizes she was being mean for no reason, feels bad, and then apologizes to Lincoln. So yeah, everything I talked are pretty much why I don't like this episode. Not the worst, but far from enjoyable in my book.

I actually wrote an alternate ending to this episode. I you want, you can check it out.
