The Walking Dead -2×3- Save the Last One

"What is wrong with you, guys?" People have been asking that for quite some time, Darryl, but thanks for voicing it on the show, buddy. That man continues to be awesome. Like getting more of his backstory and his reaction to the hanging zombie was priceless.

Ah, now I remember: Shane is a dick. I can darkly understand why he did it, but leaving him to get eaten alive was horrible on so many levels. At least shoot him in the head so he doesn't have to suffer, jackass. RIP Otis. In just two episodes, you were more likable then the majority of our "heroes." It sucks that it happened because of a freaking accident and he was actually trying to be a good man, and didn't even had to risk his own neck, but I guess good guys are going to suffer in this show. I hope Lori at least regrets her comments last week now.

Hell yeah, Glenn! Finally get screen time and it's with the new, awesome hot Maggie. Really looking forward to seeing more of the two together.

Carol still doesn't know how to shoot a gun? WTF, lady?!

I really hope Dale/Andrea quit bickering; it's getting tiring. Actually, I really hope Andrea is going to shape up soon, because that is getting tiring.

So, when things go south, Lori likes to take a defeatist attitude. I really hope I'm actually suppose to like her.

What the hell was the in next week's previews? That was insane!

Desperate Housewives -8×6- Witch’s Lament

Words cannot express just how little I care about Ben/Renee and Susan/Andre. Why does Susan always have to rehab all the a-holes?

I liked that they addressed why Susan and Carlos weren't going to help move the body, but the empty grave is such a cliche. I'm also sick to death of the "let's show the end of the story and flash back" device. Sick. To. Death.

I'm glad TPTB had the guts to make Jane a likable character who's a better person than Lynette and can stand up to her without being a bitch. Earth to Lynette: Jane didn't break up your marriage. If Tom wanted to be with you, he would. Getting rid of Jane won't help.

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia -7×7- Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games

The episode was really great. But what really made it awesome was the gang's choice of their gamepieces.
Dee and Dennis as Barbie and Ken were already great, their team photo was even better. But that big muscle comic guy Mac had as his piece was better, so consistent with how he sees himself. What was Charlie's though? Some kind of GI Joe?

I think an episode of the gang actually inventing the game would be even better than them playing it...

Once Upon a Time (2011) -1×2- The Thing You Love Most

Great Second episode. The Queen's backstory was defiantly the highlight. When rumple told her that she had to kill the one she loved most, I knew it would be the old man, but I had no idea it was her father. I’m glad that they gave her a moment of conflict and even cried because she knew that in order to follow through on her happy ending, she had to kill him. I think it was bittersweet that she named her son after her father. Without him the curse would have never came through, so I like that this is how she says thank you for everything to her dad. The actress nailed the scene with her father so perfectly, and because of that I don’t think I’ll ever look at the evil queen the same. From the queen’s view, it really paints her as the good guy and Snow as the bad guy and I love the possibilities.

Emma kind of annoyed me with her still refusing to believe Henry and taking the file for Dr. Jimmy Cricket really was naive, but it looks like she's back on cage, so it's all good. And I loved her cutting the tree and getting in Evil Queen's face.

Still loving Rumpy/Mr. Gold the most. He's only in a few scenes, but I really love it whenever he shows up. Robert Carlyle is doing wonders with this role. I love how he isn't good or evil; he's clearly someone who is out for himself, and will side with anyone to get it. It makes him very dangerous and interesting to watch.

Looking forward to seeing more of Charming and Snow White in fairy land, and seeing Snow White join Emma/Henry in regular world.

Grimm -1×1- Pilot

The Angel vibe was very strong and I can see a lot of potential in this. It" is a nice change to have a cop who isn't jaded and the actor's youth and (I'm assuming) inexperience works well for that reason. Someone should just tell him that he doesn't have to always have his hands on his hips.

I hope Aunt Marie gets to explain some stuff before she is finally killed. At least she left behind an illustrated journal to help. Hopefully he'll be smart enough to hide that (and any other important stuff he finds in the trailer) in a safe place. Leaving it in the trailer or in his house is just asking for the bad guys to break in and steal it.

I like how they have already introduced that not all "monsters" are evil. I should have worked out the reveal of the Captain at the end, but didn't largely, I think, because they wrong-footed us with the woman we were lead to think was posing as a lawyer. Yes, it was just Grimm speculating but it made her appearance a surprise and you don't expect two of those in a row in the last minute. I think I'm going to like this.

Parks and Recreation -4×5- Meet n Gree

It was a really fun episode, but not all of it worked for me...

Chris and Jerry's story was essential a retread of last week, and even if I can buy that Chris would be that lacking in common sense, it's hard to think that Millicent is the same (then again, maybe that's why they work as a couple). It was nice to see April do something for Jerry, tough...

Leslie and Tom's story dragged a little in the first part, and, even if I expected Tom to have a reason to act that way, I thought that him being a dick lasted a little too long...everything after their conversation in the tub was super-heartwarming, tough. On a shallow note, I love when they style Amy's hair like that!

Ron and Ann were easily my favorites, I've wanted them to interact for a long time and Ron mentoring someone and Ann being appreciated are two of my favorite things, so...

Ben and Andy are such opposite that all their scenes together are bound to be hilarious, though I must say that I DID feel sorry for Ben until the end...

Everyone in this cast works so well with each other that I feel spoiled complaining, but I was thinking that we haven't had a Leslie/Ann storyline in a while, and I miss that. They are my favorite relationship in the show...

Community -3×5- Horror Fiction In Seven Spooky Steps

This episode was hilarious.

I loved Britta's vague, uninspired story. It seemed so right for her character that she can't tell a good story, and is pretty hopeless at creating a scenario and characters that anyone would care about. And she'd clearly only started thinking about this whole thing an hour or so before the party. Joel McHale's wooden line readings were very funny, too.

Abed's story was very logical, naturally. Of course he would pick out all the nonsensical elements of horror movies, the stupid, inexplicable character actions, and correct them. He gets the mechanics of it, rather than being caught up in the actual experience. Would someone in real life go out into the woods alone to look for a crazy, hook handed killer? No. So they don't in Abed's story either.

I think "teach me to read" is bordering on being the funniest line ever in Community. The delivery was just spot on, and it's such a romantic/fantasy movie cliche for the guy to need the girl to help him be better. Joel McHale was brilliant in this one again, trying to learn how to read. Nice twist with Annie being a werewolf, and I loved her graphic description of how she killed the vampire. Because, yes, Annie's a little bit crazy, and her need to be the best at everything, and her overcompensation as a result apparently permeates even telling ghost stories.

I can only imagine how much fun Donald Glover and Danny Pudi had playing Pierce's evil gangstas. I felt like I was watching a Wayans brothers movie from the 90s. Casual sexism and racism has never been so funny. Pierce has had the hots for Shirley since the pilot, but his sexualisation of Annie was a bit creepy, after episodes like Celebrity Pharmacology and Intermediate Documentary Film Making, where his view of her seemed far more paternal. But hey, it's Pierce.

Shirley's view of them all as horny, idiotic teenagers was pretty on the nose, though I think they need to give her character more than Christianity and baking to work with. Loved the 90s outfits they were all wearing. I wasn't expecting the dean to be the devil, so that got a laugh, but I do remember Shirley describing him as an "innocent pervert" in one episode, so it felt a little odd for her to think of him so badly.

Jeff sees Chang as crazy? Colour me stunned! But I liked that he used his powers of persuasion to reach the killer, and that he turned his story into a Winger Speech to get the rest of them to calm down. I knew he would have filled in his test randomly, but had a sneaky feeling he'd claim that, and then look freaked out at the end that it came back signalling him as a potential nutcase.

Loved the tag, with Troy and Abed sewn together.

The Secret Circle -1×7- Masked

I have a theory based on nothing but my own imagination. So we have Jake telling the witch hunter if the witches aren't killed a certain way the rest of the circle will get their powers. What if that is opposite of what he told head with hunter. He would be the only one left. He'd get the power.

I doubt it, but it's possible.

Despite the cluelessness over the double agent this week felt much better and gave more of a reason to tune back in.

Seems strange to believe that everything is so taboo that no one tells the next generation about the responsibilities and dangers that go with being witches. Given everyone before them seems to be good at fucking things up with magic a proper heads up bigger than the family book seems to be in order.

The Vampire Diaries -3×7- Ghost World

I really enjoyed this episode. There were a few holes (where was Jenna? If anyone has unfinished business, it would be her), but I think it was a strong episode. I enjoyed getting to see Lexi, Mason, Grams and Pearl again.


Still love Damon and Alaric. I liked Damon's visible reaction to Mason's words about redemption. Yeah, yeah, I know. We have seen this before. Well, I think this could be the start of something different. Damon -- in his own way -- actually apologized to Alaric.

The thing that ****** me off about Jeremy was that if Elena hadn't caught him, he probably would have never told Bonnie about his cheating with Anna. So he gets zero sympathy from me. He's a **** who wanted to have his cake and eat it too just in case Anna went poof! again.

And if that wasn't enough, what the **** was he trying to do when Bonnie kicked his ungrateful *** to the curb? What explanation could he have possibly given to her? I just got this sick feeling that he was hoping to go back to basics after all the crap he pulled. Great job sitting in that corner alone now that both Anna and Bonnie have peaced out. What an ***!

The return of Caroline and Bonnie was glorious. The actresses have such great chemistry with each other. I always thought they were superior to Elena/Bonnie and the awkward Elena/Caroline. It was nice to see someone support Bonnie wholeheartedly. Caroline was having none of it from Germ. I wish we saw some of this back into season 2 when they were on the outs but I'll take it late then never.

It was nice to know that Anna had more important matters to attend to than her love life. As usual, Mama Pearl was number one in her heart. Pearl soooo should have had more screen time. It was actually horrid that she only appeared for 3 seconds. Bonnie and Grams was..... no words but there were tears big fat tears. Aww at Caroline's "Miss Sheila" though. Why did these two fierce women have to die! And Lexi! my awesome Lexi.

I liked Elena's speech and the ambiguity of whether she meant what she said or not. In fact, in my head I translate that scene as her just saying it and then realizing in the end that it's advice she really needs to take to heart. She cannot continue to love a ghost forever.

Vikings! I'm so excited at the ridiculousness of this plotline. It makes the fun of Alaric's history class much more interesting.

Also, any chance we'll see the Original Petrova this season?

Revenge -1×6- Intrigue

Loved, loved this episode. Shit has started to hit the fan. Yay!

Frank is one creepy mofo, isn't he? And he hit Nolan. Bastard. And he definitely has something of an obsession with Victoria. Ironically he's just like Lydia. All he had to do was take Conrad's cheque and walk away with a whole lot of money but he chose to stay and sealed his fate.

Looking at Conrad and Victoria with the setting sun, I for the first time believed that at one time, a long ago, they really did love each other or at least, Conrad did.

Tyler. What a creepy little bastard. Hope Emanda will take him down soon. And can Ashley do away with him? Never liked her, after this episode like her even less. The girl has horrible taste in men.

Declan as usual is a moron. He, for all his talk about how much he loves/likes for Charlotte, he really doesn't know her. If he did, he would have known that she likes him because he is different than her rich friends, before she told him. Charlotte, I really like. She's a sweet kid which is surprising given her parentage.

It funny how much he's like his big brother. Jack doesn't know anything about Emanda yet he thinks he loves her. I know this kind of thing happens a lot in fiction but it never made any sense to me. How can anyone love someone without knowing them. Lust, sure but love?

I actually didn't mind that Nolan left Emanda on her own. A madman with a gun just roughed him up. What else is he supposed to do? And he has already gone above and beyond for David. In my shipper heart, I'd like to believe that he loves Emanda but that just isn't true. He is doing this out of loyalty and because he's bored but now things have become too real. It's no longer a game.

American Horror Story -1×4- Halloween (1)

Oh, Zachary Quinto, I love you so much. I really do. It looks like he'll be in more episodes too so YAY :)

Poor Addie. I hope we'll still get to see her on the show. We're still stuck with crazy Hayden afterall. The relationship between Addie and her mother is so oddly fascinating and I'd hate to see an end to it. I liked how nice Violet was to her.

So, we finally got to hear the rest of the Charles story. And what a horrible one it was (not that I expected rainbows and sunshine on this show). I felt so sorry for Nora when they lost their son.

Where did Violet go? Did the gimp take her? Was it Tate? Is the gimp always Tate?

I did start to feel for Ben a tiny little bit when he was thinking back to when Violet was a little kid, but it didn't last long.

So, is the baby a lot farther along than it should be? Or is it nonhuman somehow?

Gossip Girl -5×5- The Fasting and the Furious

The royal family stuff really bored me to tears, as Louis, his mom, and his sister are pretty much caricatures with bad accents. I did like how it led to that beautiful scene between Blair and Eleanor. And am glad Blair ran far, far away from that awful contract. Was also glad that Louis looks like he is breaking away from his boring perfect self. That whole last part with him really left me with my mouth gaping open. I continue to not understand why Louis is putting up with Blair and all of her shit, is he really that in love with her?

Also found the movie rights stuff boring, though was really surprised at the poignant stuff between Dan and Serena. I couldn't believe that Serena put it out there that Dan was the love of her life. She was so vulnerable with him. All this build up with Dan being so into Blair and I just wasn't expecting this, and almost seems flip from last year where Dan was always thinking about Serena and she was off thinking of other things. I thought Dan's call to her was really nice- he may not feel that way now but he didn't shoot her down and certainly left open the possibility of them getting back together. And while Serena was a jerk to Blair, I can forgive it because she is human, and it came out of her jealousy over Blair's portrayal in Dan's book. She owned up to it right away, got over her nastiness and just admitted to Blair what was bothering her.

And finally, the Nate/Ivy/Diana stuff bored me until Diana burned that picture from Bart's file. I never suspected her story to coincide with Chuck's at all. I can't believe stuff with Bart is still going to be an issue moving ahead (totally unrelated, but how much did I love Rufus's Lily Bass comment?). That was a picture of a young Diana, right? I wish my TV had zoom because I couldn't really tell.

Was happy Chuck finally realized he needed therapy, but then sad to think the psychologist might simply be a Louis plant.

The Walking Dead -2×2- Bloodletting

Zombie: Gargh!
Daryl (shoots him with his crowwbow): Shut up!

Wow, is Daryl pretty much single-handily making this show be Must See TV for me. A hilarious badass, but he's actually smart, and can even do a better job motivating people this some of the so-called "leaders" of this merry gang of idiots. These losers (with the possible exception of Glenn) are lucky he's around, and I'm just glad he's here to be awesome.

Oh, for crying out loud, SHUT IT, LORI! Yeah, that's smart. Treat the one guy who can probably save your son's life like crap, because he isn't some fancy doctor. Yeah, yeah, I get it, your concerned, but THINK before you speak. Rick didn't fly off the handle and at least he would have had an excuse to be cranky, losing all that blood and all. And I get your pissed at the guy who shot your son, but it was an accident and hey, guess what? He's putting his own life on the line to try and save your son! Your just a waste of space. It would help though if Sarah Wayne Callis would quit playing this character so horribly.

Dear, show: why are you still keeping Glenn in the background? He was awesome in the first season and you actually had something awesome going with him and Daryl, but now he's doing nothing. Please change that. Thanks.

Already liking Maggie since in just one episode, she's more awesome then all the other women left combined. Yep, Lori and Carol are just useless, and sadly, Andrea is getting on my last nerves with her attitude. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Maggie.

Shane creeps me out; really he does, but he truly seems to care for Rick. And him putting his life on the line to help Carl means he isn't a complete ass. Still an ass, but at least I don't want to throw things at my TV, Lori!

T-Dog finally got stuff to do; too bad it was mainly complaining and being paranoid. I'm pretty sure they didn't make you stay behind because you were black; I'm sure it was because you cut your arm like the genius you are. At least Dale was there to kindly point out that the same "redneck" he was whining about, saved his ass. Seriously, Daryl deserves better.

Desperate Housewives -8×5- The Art of Making Art

I honestly can't believe how bad the show has been this season. I was really hoping the show would go out with a bang, and while there's still plenty of episodes to go, these past few episodes have been painful to watch. It's a little sad because I kind of want to stop watching, but I'm also curious how the show I've watched for the past seven years will end.

The scene with Susan and the nude model was terrible. I know Susan is an idiot, but her reactions were so over the top. Ugh. And to top it off, asking the student next to her to tell her about her father's suicide to take away her giggles was completely insensitive. Seriously show. We ARE supposed to root for these people aren't we?

Normally I defend DH, but this episode was so cringeworthy I don't know what the hell the writers are thinking. They have the freedom to really make this a season to remember and instead we are dealing with storylines about art classes and horrible PTA mothers (Gaby included). Oh, and by the way Carlos turned into an alcholic overnight. Maybe next he'll start connecting with Bree. If she's not too tied up with her obvious future love interest Ben.

Once Upon A Time 1x1 Pilot

I thought the pilot was pretty strong (as pilots go). Certainly it has me wanting to tune in for more. The writing shows signs of being really smart, which is always a huge plus in my book.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Magic Forest scenes were more interesting than the Storybrooke plot, though I wouldn't say the modern-day scenes were at all bad. Just slower. I got a kick out of Emma's increasingly weirded-out reaction to everything odd in the town, JG played it just right. The only eyeroll-worthy thing was Emma's night in jail. That was just dumb. I did like the shared lines between the worlds--Jimminy Cricket's like about not giving in to one's bad side and Henry/Snow's lines about wanting their babies to have the best chance possible are the two that come to mind--as they were both clever and effective at tying the worlds together.

While acknowledging that I really want more of the fairytale world, I do wonder how long the show can keep the flashback structure going (if it does indeed extend beyond the pilot). More than about a season and it's going to feel way too contrived. I don't know if they have a definitive four-year plan or whatever, but I think everyone in the real world is going to have to wake up absolutely no later than the end of S2.

I give Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin huge props as Prince Charming and Snow White--you really felt their emotions all the way through, all the love and hope and anguish. Their performances really carried the episode, so I hope John Doe wakes up from his coma soon!

Why won't Henry just give Emma some information (ie her being on the side of the road) that he couldn't possibly know before she says it to him? That might go some way toward making her a believer.

The sheriff is totally going to end up being Emma's love interest. And probably the wolf.

Definitely intrigued by Rumplestiltskin and his angle on everything. He doesn't seem to be in cahoots with the Evil Queen, just out for his own gain. He'll make a nice wild card.

Already looking forward to the awkward Snow-Charming-Emma-Henry family dynamic when all is revealed! Also, that is some good casting--GG, JG, and the kid who plays Henry absolutely look like they could all be related.

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia -7×6- The Storm of the Century

This episode was plain awesome.

I love that they still have Dee using the "dick"-words she picked up from Roxxie.
"Stop pussydicking around"

"is this a pickeled egg?" - "No, it's an egg i brought from home"

Also, Mac walking around with his hands resting on his stomach is awesome.

Dennis rape-invitation and rage was great, too.
Dennis talking like the rapist he is and Charlie adding "We got a sweet bunker, nobody gets in or out if we don't want them to."

That kinda reminded me of "the implication" Dennis was talking about in the houseboat episode.
Dennis blabbering at the news-lady was a nice contrast, too. I wonder if they are going to further develop Dennis' rapist personality. Dennis is like a perfect example of a serial-rapist/killer on Criminal Minds""

Young Justice -1×15- Humanity

Wow, I didn't read spoilers so I wasn't expecting Zatanna and especially a young Zatanna! I wondered why the JL had Zatarra and should have figured it out. Weird seeing Robin crush on her when an adult version was Bruce's ex in the Timmverse!

Glad that Tornado wasn't the villain we were led to believe he'd be.

The Secret Circle -1×6- Wake

Well I like Jake and I like what Jake does. He brings out Adam's inner dick, Cassie's not innocent side, and Faye's vunerable side so I'm in. Also it makes since why Faye was so initally unhappy with Nick and Melissa's relationship. I liked the fact that her talk with Nick was actually about making sure history didn't repeat itself, and Nick's death was extra sad in hindsight, because all he was doing was copying his older brother who he probably hero worshipped and he didn't know how to stop being like him, until he started trying and then he died.

Also props for Dianna for actually moving out of the way of the oncoming train and sticking up for herself. She told Adam off in the car, and when he didn't stop she dumped him good for her, hopefully she's got a vengeful streak like daddy; I don't want her mopey.

Also did anyone really miss Nick besides Melissa and maybe Faye, because I didn't think her witches brew line wasn't complete BS. You celebrate a person and the good times you had with them and with Nick and Faye it was taking drugs. Melissa's actress sold the devestation and was she in Nick's bedroom for the breakdown or her own.

My favorite scene was Faye and Melissa at the wake, espicially with Faye saying exactly what Melissa needed to hear that Nick loved her. Their friendship is the best relationship on this show.

The Vampire Diaries -3×6- Smells Like Teen Spirit

Elena 'The Vampire Slayer.' Loved the shout out to Buffy/network mate SMG. I also loved Elena sticking it to Stefan. He deserved it.

Surprisingly I actually liked Elena this episode. More so than usual at least. Yes, it's sad and pathetic that she's so committed to bringing her humanity-Stefan back, but it is normal for her. For her not to act that way would be OOC. Fake!?Drunk!Elena was all kinds of amusing to me. I'm sort of wondering if the catch is going to be that Stefan has been faking this ripper stuff all this time to ensure Klaus' trust or something. There were definitely a couple of moments or looks when it seemed as if Stefan was the old Stefan.

Damon was his normal amusing self. From his whining of the rug to his "get a new boyfriend" comment to Caroline, he had me giggling several times tonight. I'm sure I'm a bit in the minority but I actually thought I saw a spark between he and Rebekah.

Jeremy and Anna's final scene tonight just reafirmed what I already believed - they have way more chemistry than he and Bonnie. For some reason, Bonnie and Matt's scenes the last couple of episodes have had me scratching my head in that "are they chemistry-testing?" sort of way.

Matt's story with Vikki totally broke my heart. Normally Matt is just there for me, but I've really enjoyed his journey that past couple of episodes. I thought it was completely realistic and heartbreaking for him to want his sister back so badly that he ignored any and all of the potential consequences until it was too late. Watching him, in essence, turn his back on Vikki was very sad though it was totally necessary.

Oh Tyler, Tyler, Tyler... I new it was going to happen, but it still hurt to watch him feed on that woman in the end. You know he desperately wanted to fight it, but even Caroline (who has to be one of the biggest control freak vampires in existance) had her weak moments, so I was expecting this. Hopefully he seeks out Caroline's guidance here and learns to control the urges better because the Tyler from season 2 will not handle killing an innocent human being well on his own. Naughty Rebekah! Don't turn my precious Tyler into a bad, evil guy! Fight it, Tyler! Fight it! Liked the explanation regarding his new behavior. Glad it wasn't explained to just be Tyler reverting back into a d-bag.

Overall, great episode. Can't wait for next week and more Uncle Mason! Hee!

ETA: Forgot to mention - Katherine isn't dead dead, right? Right?!?

American Horror Story -1×3- Murder House

I liked the episode. I really hope Ryan Murphy is taking us somewhere, and that this pays off.

One thing that strikes me about Violet is that the more trauma she experiences in the house, the more she wants to stay. She was terrorized by the thing in the basement, then again by the home invaders, and she only gets more insistent that she loves the house. And if you recall the pilot, she's the one who said "We'll take it." What's going on with her?

Loved Viv telling the realtor how it was gonna be and that's how IT WAS GONNA BE. Now that the realtor is a recurring role I wonder what her connection to the house will turn out to be.

Was it Moira's bones in the hole, or was it the 1920s baby? I thought Ben held up the little lacy cap it was wearing.

Loved the doctor and his wife. It's like Zelda Fitzgerald's mom told her "Now, honey, I know you like that F Scott boy, but writers don't make a penny. Marry that nice surgeon." Are the souls of the aborted fetuses the ones trying to ensure Viv's pregnancy goes to term? Are they the ones who induced this pregnancy?

I'm thinking Moira's appearance has to do more with her own sense of guilt then anything else. She might have felt that she "deserved" her attack and rape, since she slept with the guy once before, or that she's inherently bad and seductive in a way that she can't control. God knows Constance hisses such ideas at her regularly. So when she's around men, or seen by men, she "appears" as this out of control sex machine who literally can't stop seducing/drugging/alluring men for one second, even though she hates it. Around women she appears as her "soul" self, an older, tired woman who desperately wants to be free, or forgiven, or something.

Revenge -1×5- Guilt

I liked that Emanda got a little rattled this episode, that there was some scrambling for her to do. Also Emanda and Victoria scenes are just one of my favorite it things even though I feel like she's so much more obvious in faking Emily when she's around Victoria than with anyone else. I don't know if it's because I know she is or because that's the way she's playing it on purpose.

I didn't feel bad for Lydia at all. She's an odd one. She threatens to expose the Graysons, still sleeps with Conrad (last episode), and still wants to be friends with Victoria. Like not even "I'll tolerate you." but actual friends. She actually got upset at what Victoria said to her, which was I think the winner of the episode. I clapped. Either way, she threatened them in order to get the friendship back then seemed upset/surprised when she found out Victoria wasn't genuine in accepting her. Really?

I found the flashback where they started this charity interesting. Victoria wanted to do it out of guilt. Conrad thought it was a good idea to boost the company image. He's colder than Victoria is.

I wasn't too happy with Nolan at the beginning of this episode but he won me over once again when he got all excited to play spy and get the fax for Amanda. And just how proud of himself he seemed when he got the fax and found the picture that exposed her. It was cute. Also his reaction when he saw the Lydia/Frank video. I kind of like it when he's by himself since that's when he's more himself instead of playing eccentric billionaire. I also love that but the more real Nolan scenes we get the more I like him.

I still find the Delcan and Charlotte are the weak links. I spent all of their scenes this episode thinking it was such a waste of time. They could totally be focusing on everyone else more if Declan could just disappear upstairs in the bar (where they apparently live).

I'm glad the whole Tyler lie got exposed that quick. When a lie is that stupid and so easily found out some shows just drag it on forever where in real life you would have the conversation of "You canceled" "Um, no you stood me up." unless you just decided to never speak to each other again. I also liked how he barely flinched when his dad took away his trustfund. He didn't get upset or even seem that upset about it.

Modern Family -3×6- Go Bullfrogs!

I do love Phil and Haley's father/daughter relationship, so I liked their storyline and it was nice to see them bonding some more. Not that it was particularly original by any means -- dad realizes his daughter is getting close to The Day when she leaves for college and becomes an adult -- but it was cute. I liked the continuity of sledding on the hill on the cafeteria trays. I love when the show actually remembers what it said; very few shows do that. Actually almost none of them do.

I love Gloria, but I agree with the ongoing discussion that they kind of need to tone her down a little. Not just the over-the-top voice, but her over-the-top protection of Manny as her little boy.

I did love Jay getting totally into the soap opera.

Longinus returns!

Ringer -1×6- The Poor Kids Do It Everyday

Putting her prints on those shards will come back to burn Bridget, but yeah, pin the blame on someone everyone thinks is missing. The problem will come when Shiv makes her inevitable return.

And this is not to give Bridget a pass for impersonating her sister, but Siobhan is really something, huh? A tragic story with Sean will not justify to me trying to kill Bridget or all that she is doing & done to Andrew, Gemma, etc. I suspect it's lucky for Andrew that Henry reacted with befuddlement when Siobhan proposed knocking off their spouses to him.

I loved JD & I thought he did a great job. Inappropriate teacher-student relationship here we come. But, fwiw, I wouldn't have believed Juliet either. It's the problem with having a pattern of behavior. Even those you love are inclined to believe the worst.

Juliet came off like a snob at times with her comment to Bridget at the start of the episode & later with her remark to the admitted bully when she gave her the $20. I also say that in light of the way Andrew reacted when Carpenter spoke up for Juliet. Stiffening his back, "you owe my daughter an apology" & right away Juliet stiffened up the same way. Like father, like daughter. I love Andrew, but his background screams upper crust to me & the unfortunate traces of snobbishness that can instill in a person. Things like Bridget's reaction to Juliet's remark in the beginning may help her learn to edit herself a bit & I think it will rub off on Andrew too.

Still love Bridget & Andrew. The scene when Andrew arrived home at the start of the episode had definite sparks & I loved how Bridget clearly wanted to burrow her head in his neck when he hugged her at the end.

Is it November 1st yet because I hope they finally do more than hug? For Bridget to keep up this ruse & I think her actions signify that she has chosen to indefinitely, she really has to get on with it.

90210 -4×6- Benefit of the Doubt

Oh those Wilson children, one's a hooker, the other is a drug addict. How proud their non-existent parents must be. And seriously, even if Annie can't get her inheritance, why can't she hit up her wealthy grandmother? It's just so ridiculous that she is off in some kind of Pretty Woman rip-off when there are a number of sources she could go to for money. And sorry Annie, I don't care how nice your new friend is, the only reason you know him is because he was your john. So try to remember that when you go off pretending your relationship is based on something other than your having been a hooker.

I did like Naomi's storyline. I think Austin is a complete tool, and Max definitely deserved better. I was glad he was able to call Naomi out on it, and it actually did feel real, which is a big plus for a show where everything is so contrived.

And speaking of contrivance, Liam as a super successful model based on one photo shoot where he acted like an asshole the entire time. I think in real life, he would have gotten fired from the shoot. It's not like a guy with a good body is a rare commodity in LA.

I was also surprised that there was no follow up on Ivy's comment about being with Raj so as not to abandon him while he was sick. That was surprisingly honest, but there was no indication it signaled anything deeper about their relationship. I guess the question would be if they would stay married if Raj actually lives.

The less said about Navid, the better. The whole secret police sting thing is very stupid, and why he doesn't put his bratty sister on a plane to her mother immediately, I have no idea. The girl is openly defiant and feels nothing about her boyfriend conning you out of money Navid! Get rid of her!

Gossip Girl -5×4- Memoirs of an Invisible Dan

So I love Dan's book story. It is infinitely more exciting than anything else on the show. Loved the scene at Lily and Rufus' when everyone found out about the book. I actually laughed out loud at the exchange between Charlie/Ivy and Blair... “Haven't you been home for weeks?” “It certainly feels that way when I'm around you.” LM's delivery of that line was very good. And Nate's reaction to finding out his character is gay. “Do I have game?” Loved it. I even managed not to hate Chuck in that scene. His complete indifference to the book and amusement at the others learning about the book and what's in the book was fun.

I'm glad the writers touched on the Serena/Blair friendship, or really lack of so far this season. Dan has really been Blair's go to for a while now which I've enjoyed, but I'm glad there was an explanation for why Blair wouldn't be sharing some of these things with Serena. I can take or leave both of them depending on the story, but I do enjoy their friendship and it's been a huge part of the show. Speaking of Serena, I can't quite put my finger on what it was about her this episode that bugged me, but I was highly annoyed by her. She was like a child throwing a temper tantrum. It was like she expected to read a love story about herself instead of an upper east side social commentary. I don't know, I just found her to be immature and almost arrogant.

And the downfall of Prince Perfect begins. Anyone not see this coming? Out of nowhere Louis is all hostile and jealous about something he reads in a work of fiction? I feel like Louis might be suffering from a case of out of characteritis. I just can't believe the guy who has been written to be the absolute perfect man for Blair is all of the sudden ready to call things off with her and needing advice from Yoda Bass. Really? Of course Louis wasn't much of a character to begin with so I can't really get that worked up about it.

Charlie/Ivy and Nate working together? I like it! For some reason I really like Charlie/Ivy and I like the chemistry between her and Nate so far. I hope they go there.

It's strange that after Blair completely lays the smack down on Dan and rules out anything between them, I'm more sure than ever that something is up between those two. Something about the dialogue, the look on Blair's face as she read the book, heck the first 4 episodes of the season...it's been raining anvils. I like their friendship, but I've never been sure if they had the romantic chemistry to pull off anything more. After tonight's kiss I'm convinced that they could. I can't say that I want it to happen because I like Dan and I think that would only end badly for him, but there is a part of me that would like to see the chemistry explored.

Desperate Housewives -8×4- School of Hard Knocks

Great episode, I thought. Loved every storyline. The scene where Susan freaked out on the canvas was pretty great, and I loved Miguel Ferrer. Seems like his character could lead Susan to some interesting territory.

Gaby was hilarious as usual. I loved the other woman's revenge, should be fun to see this play out.

I hope Tom and Lynette get divorced and it's starting to seem like maybe they'll actually go there.

Bree and Danielle were highly amusing. It was hilarious seeing Bree stuck in the sex swing.

The Walking Dead -2×1- What Lies Ahead

So this was a great opener, I thought.

If Shane’s really thinking about defecting, then pouring the water all over himself made sense. Plus it kept with the religious them explored throughout episode: baptism, (possible) zombie pilgrimage and zombies in the church, sins, the monologue at the beginning and the prayers… there was a lot of that going around.

I found it odd that not one of the females opted to carry a gun except when Lori was handed one. I get that Rick/Shane are policeman and have better experience firing guns, but c’mon; teach the women.

I’m looking forward to seeing Andrea develop: she seems to want some semblance of control and she’s not being offered that. Yes she wanted to let herself die at the CDC, but she also did it on her own terms and did not ask a member of the group to kill her. She didn’t steal ammo or weaponry, defect, and off herself. And as she said, her fate was once again taken out of her own hands when Dale stuck around, whereas Shane, Rick, and Dale (to an extent) all get to make all of the decisions for everyone in the group. That particular dynamic is very telling. I'm hoping that another strong female character gets added to the show soon: it can't be all Andrea angst all the time either if they're not going to let her do anything.

Is it weird that I think Lori was absolutely wrong about not letting Carl have a weapon? It struck me as odd that he doesn’t have at least something to protect himself with if he got separated from the group: especially after Sophia ran away. I thought it was because AMC wouldn’t let the writers get away with having the kids involved in anything directly violent scenes but then Carl got shot, so… what the heck?

Young Justice -1×14- Revelation

"Revelations" definitely lived up to its title!


I was suprised to see Guy Gardner! Without his trademark bowl haircut, I almost didn't recognize him.

Nice to see Blue Devil as well.

Didn't like Poison Ivy's design and Alyssa Milano made her sound a bit like a sullen teenager.

I liked Joker's new look, but the voice didn't suit me. I did like his one line about wanting to "Carve up this bird" when referring to his confrontation with Robin.

More distractions now that the JL thinks the Injustice League was behind the recent shennanigans. Didn't expect to see Klarion as one of The Light, though.

When Zatara called Batman on the danger of sending the YJ gang to go after the Injustice League, I felt sure by episode's end, Batman would have said, "I did WHAT?" Leading us to believe an imposter had actually sent the kids on that mission. Apparently not.

Definitely anticlimactic that Aqualad got to remove the helmet of Dr. Fate. I think we could have had an episode in which the gang tries to get him free or perhaps it would have been a way for Aqualad to be replaced without dying. At least Kent Nelson got a mention. I can't imagine what he promised Nabu this time.

Overall I enjoyed the ep, the action scenes were great and Artemis was great when she declared she wasn't going to [almost] drown yet another time and pulled out a breathing equipment. Oh, and the, "feeling naked not in a fun way", quip!

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia -7×5- Frank’s Brother

I loved all the music, and Sha'dynasty was very gorgeous. Especially in the green dress. At first, I wasn't so thrilled about the episode because the gang was basically just sitting there, but after I let it sit for a while, I appreciate the episode more. It was really funny to me how they were so horrified about "negress" and Reggie going to jail, when in fact these are 4 of the most self-centered and horrible people ever. It wasn't that long ago that Dennis and Dee witnessed a murder and hid the body!

The coke montage was absolutely awesome. Now I want a flashback to find out how Frank made all his money between the club adventures with his brother and when he ended up marrying Dennis & Dee's mom. I feel like their courtship would be absolutely hilarious.

Parks and Recreation -4×4- Pawnee Rangers

TREAT YO' SELF, y'all!

How awesome was this episode? Leslie and Ron's storyline was so hilarious and sweet! Loved Leslie's enthusiasm about the Goddesses, the "Little Leslie Knope monsters" and Ann feeling like fish out of water ( I so relate! I am enthusiastically indifferent to everything sport and outdoors, so I completely identify with her! I still think it's extremely sweet that she went along because it's something that is important for Leslie, and Leslie tried to encourage her even if Ann is kind of hopeless at those things...)
Andy's excitement over the puppies was the funniest, sweetest thing ever...he's such a little kid! Speaking of kids, the little boy who wanted to be a Goddess and the first little girl who challenged Leslie were adorable!

Tom/Donna= those two together, and together with Ben, were so hilarious! Ben is such an adorable nerd!
Loved Tom's "why so serious?"

Funnily enough, the only episode in which someone is really trying to treat Jerry right ends up being the one that makes me feel sorry for him... Chris is just so crazy! It cracked me up when he appeared out of nowhere startling poor Jerry!

Community -3×4- Remedial Chaos Theory

God, this was a funny episode. Great return to form after last week.

That troll doll was pretty terrifying, but for someone like Troy, who's scared of rats, centipedes and lakes, I can only imagine how bad it is. That whole googly eyes scene ending with Pierce holding the doll out in front of Troy was great.

I love that Abed and Troy think Yahtzee is a sophisticated, adult game. It's certainly boring enough.

And Britta coming out of the bathroom to Abed saying, "smells weird" had me rolling. Speaking of which, the biggest laugh of the episode was when she went to light Troy's (candy) joint, only for him to eat it. Great comedy timing, there.

The Troy timeline was just ridiculous, in a completely awesome way. A shooting, spraying blood, burning apartment, and in the middle of it all, that evil doll. Donald Glover just keeps finding new ways to be hilarious.

Evil Troy and Evil Abed were amazing. Troy's voicebox and the felt beards. God, I hope they do pop up again later in the year. And drunk Shirley has got to be a joke at Yvette Nicole Brown's expense. She doesn't drink, but Dan Harmon and Joel McHale kept making jokes about her being an alcoholic on the DVD commentaries. I really want to see insane Evil Annie as well.

The Secret Circle -1×5- Slither

Nick's death was sad but I kinda saw it coming. I knew that they weren't going to kill Melissa off because that would be too obvious, but the preview said that the circle was going to be broken so I figured Nick. After the demon got out of Melissa I was like it went in Nick it went in Nick. It was kinda a let down at how predictable the episode was. Everything that I said was going to happen happened. I like to be surprised or wrong about stuff. Still, it was a pretty good episode I guess.

Adam and Diana did nothing for me. It seemed kinda random about how they're all over each other all of a sudden and the past episodes they seemed more like a pg couple. They just don't really have a lot of chemistry. Their scene seemed awkward and a little forced. I think its the writers way of making us feel more conflicted between the Cassie/Adam/Diana love triangle. If they don't give us any Adiana scenes then we won't even bat an eye when he leaves her for Cassie because we've had so many Cadam scenes that it would just make sense. This way we care more about the triangle. Too bad it didn't work for me at all...

The Vampire Diaries -3×5- The Reckoning

My mind is still blown. This was an A+ episode all around, acting, writing and directing.

So Elena's blood is needed to create the Hybrids and not her death? Very cool twist. Though how Klaus was able to figure that out was kinda hard to believe. But then again, this is a show about vampires, werewolves, and witches (oh my!) so I guess I can get over that.

Stefan is now a complete ripper with no emotions? Woah. That last scene between him, Damon, and Elena was all sorts of creepy.

I'm a bit surprised how much I enjoyed Matt's story this episode. Really liked the scenes between he and Bonnie. I'm not sure if Matt's decision this episode to contact Vicki the way he did was courageous/badass or just plain stupid. He was taking some huge chances. A)What if Bonnie didn't get to him in time? B)What if she couldn't get him out of the pool herself? And C)What if her CPR skills weren't that great either and she couldn't revive him? But still, it was nice for him to get a chance to speak with his sister, though I still feel that there's something majorly fishy about Ghost!Vicki.

Katherine continues to be all kinds of badass. I love her so freaking much. I'm very curious about how this Michael storyline is going to play out because if he's bad enough for even Klaus to fear him, then he's got to be all kinds of badass. I do, however, think that waking him is going to come back and bite our lovable team in the ass (as Anna sort of forewarned). That last shot of him snapping his eyes open was all kinds of creeptastic.

Tyler as a hybrid? Interesting! I wonder how that is going to work out for him. My guess is not really that well, but I'd bet it is gonna be a fun story. Caroline looked a little alarmed which i totally understand. While Caroline may not know what it means to become a hybrid, she certainly knows what it means to become a vampire. And that's basically what's happened to Tyler. He was already a werewolf - he just now has the added complication of being a vampire as well. He's dead (undead?). He'll experience bloodlust and an urge to kill his entire life. He'll never grow old. Caroline knows what those things means. Tyler doesn't. Which makes his positive attitude and complete glee over what's happened alarming to Caroline.

American Horror Story -1×2- Home Invasion

Well, well, well. I thought after I read the character interactive on the FX website, the way they described "the Adelaide sisters" that the only way there could be girls of different ages had to be because there was more than one. Apparently, Constance had three Adelaides. That explains the age discrepancies. That mirrored closet was just cruel.

I'm calling it. There are brutal, evil ghosts who are probably possessing/reincarnating the current occupants of the house. It's a history repeats itself kind of scenario. The ghosts of the victims are trying to protect the current inhabitants. Considering the body counts, I think the "good" ghosts are losing the battle.

I also believe for a fact that the Explore the House Interactive is deliberately leaving out decades. The 1963 murders were proof of that. The 1960's were not on the interactive timeline. Incidentally, the 1990's weren't included, if I remember correctly. Isn't that batch the "known" murders the realtor referred to?

I wonder if Constance knew that one of the bad guys would actually eat her cupcake and purposely said it was for Violet, knowing she wouldn't eat it. The clairvoyant neighbor seems to be a good guess. I don't buy coincidence. I just don't know why Constance covered up two of the deaths, but not the third. If Constance or others have been covering up some of the deaths, I wonder how many people have died in that house.

I do love how the original victims of the serial killer offed the copycats. That was pretty smooth. I am still not sure if psycho kid, whose name escapes me, is a ghost or a "caretaker." I'm leaning towards ghost, though.

Revenge -1×4- Duplicity

Tonight's episode was AMAZING. All of those Hamptons Exposed videos were hilarious. I felt so bad for little Amanda in the flashbacks — are we to understand that Victoria bribed the psychiatrist to separate David and Amanda because she knew that Amanda had seen her take David's laptop (presumably in order to frame him for the plane crash) and wanted to make sure that Amanda could never tell David?

We've already got a continuity flaw — the recordings of Amanda's "sessions" with the psychiatrist after her father's arrest were timestamped September 18, 1993, but we know from trial footage from the second episode that the plane crash didn't occur until the summer of 1994. :/

Tyler is a massive creeper. What is his issue with Daniel? Does he have a secret gay crush on him? Seriously, that is the only explanation that I could think of for his creeptastic behavior. I think that my least favorite character is Declan, though; it's not just his behavior, it's also the way that the actor carries himself and gesticulates sometimes that makes him grate on my nerves. He's a grade-A douchebag and I couldn't care less about his and Charlotte's storyline.

Modern Family -3×5- Hit and Run

Loved Luke and his "frozen assets". He really stole the show tonight.

Love: Lily-"You saw The Muppet Movie without me?"

Cam's running was ridiculous, but still funny to me. And all of them tackling that kid (who was just on Community) was good too.

I gotta say, Sofia Vergara's breasts are real and they're spectacular. If she came in to my office dressed like she was in the last scene, I'd be mesmerized, too.

Ringer -1×5- A Whole New Kind Of Bitch

Well, dang, if things weren't real before, they are now!

And if Henry did kill Gemma then he's proven he a pretty good match for the ruthless Shiv. Those two are a match made in hell.

It's sad that Bridget did the right thing by telling Henry the truth only for it to push Henry over the edge and confront (and kill) Gemma. The truth set Bridget free but it was Gemma's death sentence. Although I wonder if the fight was less Henry losing it and more Gemma attacking him, Henry defends himself but ends up accidentally killing Gemma and he realizes/thinks no one will believe it was an accident so he does the only thing he can to not lose it all and covers it up. For some reason it also feels like Henry was another victim of Shiv's agenda even as he thought he was in on the plan. His going off the rails because she suddenly 'changed' is a little sad.

It's rare you see 'the other woman' apologize to the kid whose family she helped to break up (at least in her eyes). While Bridget was blameless on that score, it was still nice for her to cop to Shiv's bad decisions towards Juliet and formally apologize. While it seemed like a simple thing to turn the tide, sometimes acknowledging to the person you screwed over that you screwed them over and their anger is warranted and apologizing for it really can make all the difference.

90210 -4×5- Party Politics

I thought it was good that they didn't create a new character for Brandy, it was clearly Moesha the senator. I liked the nostalgia.

Liam and Jane must have had the most blase reaction to Jim's return from the dead that I think I've ever seen. It was like it barely phased either of them. No swirl of emotions, no anger, no nothing, just a lame fight over Jane followed by immediate acceptance that Jim was back.

Oh and I think the funniest storyline of the night was hearing that Annie's lawyer is gathering character references! Annie is a hooker who has killed a man! I mean, if anything is a nonstarter for Annie, it's going to be an argument based on her character.

And shut up Dixon's drug addiction, Navid and his sister (honestly, where does she sleep? at the foot of Silver and Navid's bed?) and anything related to Annie.

On the positive side, the Naomi storyline is really good. Maybe it is my low expectations for the show, but I was impressed that Naomi was honest with Max (even if she was a little late on that front), and was willing to assert herself on the issue to try to be good and not play to her baser instincts.

I also like Teddy's storyline, even if it seems that Uncle is probably using him and the entire thing is really contrived. Teddy should tell Shane to lighten up. They are both 18. Shane has his entire 20s/30s (which would be Teddy's 30s/40s) to be serious and committed to causes. There's no need to act as if Teddy is the one and this is the most important thing ever, just have a good time.

Also, I thought Silver's hair looked great.

Gossip Girl -5×3- Jewel of Denial

I don’t think a Gossip Girl episode has ever made me cry, but that final Chuck and Blair scene definitely had me in tears. Of course it took finding out he’s not the father to make Chuck feel something again. I hope Blair’s lying, of course. But even if she’s not, Chuck’s reaction to the pregnancy showed that they will always be connected. On a happier note, I loved Dan getting Chuck the dog, and I’m so glad Chuck decided to keep him – even if it was offscreen. Also, Monkey?! LOL, perfect callback to Sweetie.

My heart also broke for Nate a little this week. He’ll never stop being manipulated by the women in his life, will he? I was disappointed that he gave into her at the end and started looking through the phones, but at least he had a backbone for three seconds. And now his story will connect with Ivy’s.

Speaking of Ivy, I really love her. She knows how to hold her own and give as good as she gets, even if I quickly grow tired of her waffling on whether or not she’s going to stay.

Overall, I was bored by the first half of the episode and excited by the second. Definitely looking forward to seeing how Dan’s book affects everyone. And finding out that Blair was lying about the paternity (excuse my wishful thinking).

Desperate Housewives -8×3- Watch While I Revise the World

I liked that they acknowledged that Carlos/Susan were never good friends, and I was pleasantly surprised when they told Mike what happened.

The one good thing about Lynette's boring story was that she didn't have any scenes with Tom. Didn't miss him one bit.

The one good thing about Renee's boring story is that she didn't have any scenes with Ben. Didn't miss him one bit.

I knew Chuck was going to propose as soon as I saw the photo of the hand that didn't look anything like Bree's. What's the rush? He's been divorced all of five minutes, and they've never even said I love you. I hate what they're doing to him though. Can't Bree have one happy relationship with a man who doesn't go crazy on her?

Young Justice -1×13- Alpha Males

I loved the third act of the latest episode with everybody teaming up against the Brain and M'sieur Mallah to save Captain Marvel. The getting there was rough with everybody acting like whiny jerks toward Aqualad because he didn't tell them about the mole.

Rob Lowe as Captain Marvel was quite possibly the best voice casting ever !!!!!!!!! Hope this isn't the last we see of him.

Kid Flash's "Get your paws off her, you darn dirty ape" shout out made me adore him again.

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia -7×4- Sweet Dee Gets Audited

No one says "What's up bitches?!" like Sweet Dee. It's such a cheerful greeting coming from her.

I thought this episode started out a bit weak but got progressively awesome. I think I was continuously cracking up the last ten minutes or so. The funeral had me in stitches. (What is with this show making morbid things so funny? Doctors getting shot in the head and now this!)

I'm also enthralled with Dennis's sociopathy. He's becoming self-aware!

You know, Charlie was always my favorite character, but these past two seasons I am just so aboard the Dee train.

Parks and Recreation -4×3- Born & Raised

I absolutely loved Anne's subplot this week after not really enjoying her Chris scenes the week before. I was cracking up when she came into the office towards the end, non-chalantly talking about her experience at the hospital the day before. When she said "weird" and April's attention shot up, I couldn't stop laughing, even more so when Ron peeked out of his office.

Totally did not see the Eagleton twist. Loved how Leslie could barely spit out "Eagletonian." Liked the little views Leslie gave Ben during the Calomezo interview and at the end when they were eating waffles.

I find it interesting how the whole Parks and Recreation department is now helping Leslie run for City Council. Don't they have Parks and Recreational things to attend to? Oh well, I thought it was pretty clever how they tied in Tom coming back around the office with his connection to Joan and that sticker.

Oh, Pawnee citizens. You never cease to entertain us.

Community -3×3- Competitive Ecology

Besides some great jokes, the whole idea of main characters being terrible people is bold yet hilarious. The show has depicted the group as mean and petty before, but they really went for it this time.


Todd was fantastic. What a great character. Loved how he was a sweet, lovely, enthusiastic innocent at the beginning, and you can see him getting worn down by the group until he cracks. He goes from "None taken!" to "Offense taken!" The tear at the end was very sad. Poor Todd.

In the scene in the study room when they were trying to figure out how to pair up, Abed looked directly at the camera a few times. The first time I noticed was when he mentioned pairing different people for audience popularity. And he looked right at the camera. He did it a couple more times. Extra meta, I suppose.

I loved the plot with Chang. All his narration was great. "Matchbook. Something about it seemed cluey." So funny when his and Dean's narration crossed over at the end.

Excellent envelope-pushing ep.
