Would I watch it again? Maybe just to watch Zoom stumble again, see Houdini throw another punch, or see Summer be radiant - OK, Cindy's got the tough-cute factor that can be enjoyable in moderation (pull up a chair, whydontya).In an effort to not show up at Quinn and Logan’s wedding single, Zoey hires Dean Geyer’s Todd to pretend to not only be her boyfriend but also a Hemsworth brother. Let's see Rip Torn say the line that we watch him ventriloquize. Let's give the characters more reason, heck even a strategy, to want to make and close a vortex.

Followed up with Dylan's peace offering of the necklace pendant - drama & release - make the relationship grow on us. Cox character (which I thought she played well). Why spend all that time watching Cindy throw ton-weights at a target? How did Dylan's ability with the apple help in the end? What did they do with Tucker to help him learn to control his bloating? How is "mind sight" related to invisibility? Don't even get me started on Ms. A scene of Summer controlling the paint balls would have helped me believe better her focused power use in the end).
