"Somebodies"

The "Somebodies" episodes that we viewed in class today were mildly funny and entertaining. I found that the pilot episode did a good job of introducing the characters. It is evident from the pilot episode that "Scottie" is the main character. The pilot also revealed some issues that would be dealt with throughout the rest of the episodes. The main issue being that "Scottie" is one of his only friends that is not getting ready to finish school. I did find myself enjoying the pilot and interested in what was coming in the second episode.

The second episode was much better than the pilot. In this episode the audience is really able to understand the direction of the main character. It is more evident in this episode that "Scottie" is trying to separate himself from the distractions of his friends and surroundings, so that he is able to concentrate on his school work. Although he finds himself with harassing neighbors it is obvious that "Scottie" is trying to find a way to succeed and beat the odds.
