Review for 5x14 'My Bloody Valentine'

My Bloody Valentine, Ben Edlund’s latest instalment in the series, wasn’t as tightly written, well structured and executed as his previous episodes for the season, but overall I can say that I loved it, mostly because I really, really enjoyed the character work here, which ultimately always determines how I feel about an episode. Furthermore, I thought the Famine plotline was fascinating and creepy, gore and all. However, I think that the mythology implications of the episode finally torpedoed the already fragile mytharc beyond salvation for me, and I find that most regrettable. It didn’t distract me from my enjoyment of the episode though, so that’s a good sign I guess.
