I agree with most of what you like about, although obviously at a much
lower
level, because I'd only rate it Decent, and so clearly so that I never had
to consider why it isn't Good. It is at it's best when either Wes or
Lilah,
or both, are on screen, but there just isn't enough of them to lift it
higher for me. It's my 58th favourite AtS episode, 4th best in season 4
(last time was 66th and 3rd)

I haven't rewatched this, so it's slight movement in my ratings to 72nd
best
AtS episode, 7th best in season 4 (from 76th and 7th) only reflects
movements of episodes around it

True, the multi-coloured "destinies" are beyond silly, which makes the
main
story a waste of time. But in such cir***stances you have to make do with
whatever else the episode provides (which thus makes it a model for
getting
something out of season 4). And it has Lorne, Live in Vegas. And Fred...
as
a Lornette. Which is enough to make it a lowish Decent for me. It's my
71st
favourite AtS episode, 6th best in season 4 (last time was 72nd and 5th).

I haven't rewatched this, so its movement down to 100th best AtS episode,
18th best in season 4 (from 97th and 15th last year) merely reflects
movement by episodes around it.
