When I first saw that Top Gear was on Netflix, I picked a random episode to watch to see what the flavor of the show was. That episode was fairly plain, and had three witty but otherwise average car reviews in it. So I thought, okay, witty car reviews. Guess I can use it as filler when there's nothing else to watch.

I've now caught up to that episode. It is right after the episode where they drive at night on the most deadly road in the world (in Bolivia) with non-working headlights, using flashlights taped to the front of the car as the only light to see the unguarded thousand foot drops, and right before the episode where James May drives up an erupting volcano in Iceland to collect lava. You know the volcano--it's the one that explodiated shortly after they filmed the episode.

So basically, I randomly picked the only episode in the later series of Top Gear that was completely boring. Good thing I gave the show another chance anyway, eh?

Wow. That's some fairly impressive picking of the bland, right there.

It's the last episode in a series, and they'd run out of budget.
