the beast was back this week, after being bumped for an independence day special last week. the ratings were even worse than the last time it was on (although just slightly). i'm always disappointed when a show feels it has to make up a country (although the president of said fake country was so badly stereotyped that he was funny). and what the hell was up with that tiki bar and beach room? i expected isaac to show up and start serving drinks. but the episode was a cliffhanger, so apparently the show will play out at least one more episode.
