Ok, I liked parts of the 12/1 episode, I admit it.  But do you want to know
what really, really, really let me down?  The lobotimization of Albert.

I was so excited to see Albert return to the show -- he's my favorite
character, bar none.  But then, all they gave him to say was tired, drab,
colorless platitudes that didn't even fit his character.  I couldn't
believe that the same wonderfully cynical fellow who once told Cooper
how happy he was that "Dharma came to ho-ho-ho" could now be lamely
encouraging Coop to get mystic again.

In the final sum-up scene, I was 100% expecting Albert to say what many of
us must have been thinking, but he didn't.  Nope, he mouthed the party
line like he had lost all interest in thought.  Very disappointing.

With writing like this for Albert, he might as well stay in his own
series.
