Internet-based snark since 2007.
Yee-ha cowboys and we’re off and galloping into episode 2, is called “See”. And this time we’re down to a more standard sized 49 minute episode so I guess we can assume that extra long pilot episode was just a one off. So what will we see this episode? Hopefully more of Tulip being intimidating…
First off, sorry this recap is like 4 days after the episode aired, but I kind of got pleasantly blindsided by Lightbox even screening it -(there was zero promo of this that I was aware of and trust me, I was looking), and then it was a couple of days before I had the time…
