User blog:AustinDR/Review: Shell Shock

Finally got to watch this episode. For the most part, I loved it. In it, Lincoln is made to take care of an egg baby with Ronnie Anne, but given her reputation as a tough girl, he has reason to be hesitant with placing the air under her care. Now, my initial idea on Ronnie Anne...while I like her, I always felt that she was an underused character. With her appearing in a seldom amount of episodes, the most I got out of her was that she was a tough girl who happened to be secretly dating Lincoln. That was what made the character retrospect on her difficult. However, I do remember saying that she had shown signs of a more sensitive side. In this episode, she comes off as a dutiful younger sister who practically has to babysit Bobby (that and her blushing embarrassingly when Bobby was hugging her was cute), and she even cooks dinner for her family. By all means, she is almost a completely different character when at home. It was also pretty thoughtful of Lincoln to actually talk Mrs. Agnes into giving her another chance when he messed up.

The different scenarios that Lincoln envisions for Ronnie Anne were also hilarious in how absurd they were. That, and her doing the switcheroo on Lincoln was also pretty humorous. I personally liked the one where Ronnie Anne puts the egg into Chandler's pants before he sat down. Did I mention already how much I hated Chandler? However, I still felt that most of the sisters weren't needed in this episode, though it's not really as distracting like in "Kick the Bucket." The twins were only there so that Lincoln could realize that he accidentally tooked the rubber egg. Other than that, I loved this episode, not becasue I ship Ronniecoln (well I do), but I just personally liked that we got more insight into Ronnie Anne's character. I also loved her interactions with Lincoln. You could tell that she was hurt when Lincoln tells her that he didn't trust her with the egg because he thought that she would break it, and I also liked the fact that not only does she forgive Lincoln for being paranoid, but she also offers to cook some waffles for him. I also liked how it wasn't oversaturated with sappiness, but I digress.

Overall, another great episode. Though we shall always have the original egg in our hearts. May he be prepared sunny side up.

 Final score: 4 stars out of 5
