Hugely disappointing episode that avoided dealing with the problem that is Christine and specifically her attempt to steal a client from Emma. The host of this episode is a prick, and that's being kind. As for Chelsea, she needs to be called out for having been played by Christine and continuing to fall for her tricks. Chelsea's treatment of Davina was genuinely nasty and aggressively so, almost to the point of threatening her. Remarkably, they did not deal with Christine's cowardly failure to turn up for the meeting with Jason. I guess the maker's of the show figure that without Christine in the show, it all gets a bit anemic.

I've watched a lot of movies. Some of my all time favourites include Taxi Driver, The French Connection, The Godfather Pt2, The Servant, and a bunch of Kubrick and Coen Brothers films. But Favourites of the Moon is also one of my all time favourites and it like, Richard Linklater's wonderful Slacker is a whole different kettle of fish to the previously mentioned greats. If it bugs you that there doesn't seem to be a plot to this film, all I can say is "Relax!" Let go of your expectations and trust that Ioselliani knows what he is doing. I've seen Favourites of the Moon maybe six or seven times and I still don't really understand it, but I just really enjoy each little story contained within it and on each viewing I notice a little more of what is linking them. And to those who think this is a terrible movie, I would say you're trying too hard, or you're demanding that a story be only a certain narrow form. Cinematic bedfellow of Slacker. Both great films.
