It's official, football jocks do not make for interesting bad guys, just unintelligent and dull ones. Their ape-like behaviour and ridiculous school yard mentality just makes them damn annoying.
Kinetic focuses on the character of Whitney Fordman who, quite frankly, has always been something of an annoyance. His attitude towards the people around him shifts and changes so many times you could be forgiven for thinking that he had some sort of multiple personality disorder.
This is not a bad episode. On the contrary. It's actually quite entertaining. The idea for the story is an interesting one and the plot sufficiently explores the problems of peer pressure. It's just that they need to start moving away from the idea of the jock as bad guy. Even when they are not the freak of the week they still seem to pop up like the bad penny to give whoever is the freak of the week their motivation.
Entertaining stuff. Just lose the jocks! 6/10
