Was last night's episode (5/9) an intentional comedy?

Sadly, I don't believe so....

In every other episode Samar is some lethal fighting machine. Yet somehow this fat bumbling buffoon was able to get the better of her the previous episode and again this most recent episode. Multiple times. More comedic than that is the fact his lungs were filling with blood which caused him to slowly black out, unable to breathe, thereby crashing the van. Yet after a short nap, he was refreshed and reinvigorated, raring to go. Clearly abdominal stabbings are the equivalent of a paper cut. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous way a tire iron somehow impaled Samar. And despite all knowledge and information to the contrary, she pulls it out instead of leaving it in to keep the bleeding at bay and to ensure no additional damage occurs. Forget the fact she'd be unable to kick a can with an injury like that, let alone the solid doors of a van. Adrenaline or not, it's physically impossible. Maybe she should just take a short nap and heal herself. That seems to work wonders in this show.

I'm actually becoming offended by this ridiculous writing. Today's uneducated and unskilled writers truly believe everyone is as intellectually bankrupt as they are.

As if all this wasn't enough, making this fat, bumbling hit man also some freak who keeps body parts to feed his rats in order to get them to eat people is just a pathetic and failed attempt at some sort of shock value. It's just childish. Were the writers trying to make this joke of a criminal more menacing and frightful? It had the opposite effect.

Then I thought the bear was the icing on this sad cake, but then she gets the phone, the van tumbles down the hill into the water, and somehow the phone makes it back to sitting neatly on the front seat, through the gate. It was magic. And the intelligence just keeps coming. Even if it wasn't the same phone, to be just sitting nicely on the front seat after the tumble was beyond stupid. No other word for it.

This show also likes to use weird, obscure music in violent situations, hoping it has some dramatic effect. It never does. Maybe they should instead try using the Benny Hill theme with fast motion camera work. It would actually fit perfectly with this type of unintentional and unintelligent humor.
