The Secret Life...Episode 2

Episode 2 aired Tuesday night and in my opinion didn't keep with the enthusiasm that the first one provided. While I'm still hooked on watching the show, I don't think this episode did much for growing and forming the character's. I would say that is probably to be expected since the first episode did such a great job of selling viewers on watching the program. I would say episode 2 would remind you of your average day of high school.

There where a few key points that come out of this week's show. The first one being that Amy's secret is starting to get passed around school. Her best of friends where over heard talking about Amy's situation by the friends of her new boyfriend.

Amy has decided to take the ignore it and it will go away approach to her pregnancy. We'll see how long that works out for her.

The writer's really over used the lines, "I'm a christian, your a christian, we are all Christians" in this episode. Real life people just don't talk like that. The writer's need to move from talking about being a christian to showing the viewers how one lives it out on daily basis. Or show us how a false one will live their life. The last interesting moment came from the band hall. Ricky and Amy are talking about happened the previous Friday night at the dance between Grace and Jack. Amy makes the statement of, "Grace's mom is my dad's ex-wife." The reason why that's so interesting is because on last week's show Grace informed Jack that her mom waited for her dad until he was done with medical school. We either have a blooper by the writer's or a new twist in the show. Personally, I'm rooting for the twist.



In Christ Alone,

Mr. V.
