A little smoother than the Season 5 starter, but not by much. The open went totally insane and the episode's theme of JD, Cox and the Janitor seeing themselves in their patients just didn't seem to give enough to the episode. A couple scenes of the Janitor musing about his life, a minute and a...
That's what I got out of it. Not sure if it was the fact that it was mentioned then that House dropped the ball like never before on that girl, or if it was because it was apparent House managed to get Chase genuinely angry at him after years of blind loyalty. The whole issue of whether House...
:laugh: Patrick, I stared at that for about five minutes, pondering "Do I want to spoil this arc? I'm itching to find out what happens next and all, but that would ruin the pacing..." and so on. I couldn't help but crack the hell up when I finally succumbed and clicked. Enjoyed last night's...
I wasn't really a fan of Chase just leaving, myself, but I didn't interpret it as "following orders". Seems this case really pissed him off on some moral grounds, and House's telling him to sit on his ass wasn't an order as much as it was a sarcastic kick in the aforementioned ass to tell him to...
The way the situation kept getting more and more out of hand made this episode a worthy premiere without breaking the usual feel of the show. I liked Randy, too. Just as simple as he was last year, but not as dumb. The sequence where he and Joy were coming up with ways to ensure the hostage...
Plus, how did the shooter get injured? I missed that. I personally didn't consider it a cop-out since they foreshadowed the hallucinations. Hell, the only reason House went postal on his patient in the first place was that he believed that he was, in fact, hallucinating. It set itself up as a...
I really tried to keep with it. And I think I did, but my head really hurt. And then it turns out the whole thing never happened and the guy with the swollen tongue doesn't have a rare case eyeball/otherball-pop-itus with a side of hemophilia... just a swollen tongue.
Good ep, although I can...
Three cheers for no cliffhangers! :) (and an all-around great finale in general.) I liked the explanation that Earl didn't get that money just because he had done something good, he got the money because he was going to do something good with it. The supersizing may not have given us much more...
Enjoyable one. I didn't really buy JD dodging helping out Dr. Cox. Although I knew he'd have to come in at last to deliver a speech that would pull Cox out of it, and that's exactly how it went down, that monologue was one for the series highlight reel. Formulaic in timing, maybe, but it really...
I may have to eventually quote that. Some great jokes in there, especially the Todd. "We boinked." "Alright, I was sad my dad died." "I wasn't." That was a choke-on-my-water moment. Also loved his stake-outs for his 'moment', and JD's relationship with the herbal section director. (Did...
Admit it'd be awesome for two and a half minutes. Maybe three. I was watching the commentary on the first season that had Robert Maschio (Todd), Sam Lloyd (Ted) and Bill Lawrence jawing about the two actors' characters, and Bill Lawrence semi-jokingly mentioned his plans to "out the Todd"...
And with how often and well they've been balancing his character this season, I'm looking forward to one myself. Also curious about what goes on in Jordan's noggin. But if they keep the two per season pace, I'm not sure who else they could really pull off for a full 20 minutes.
Missed the cold open because the lounge was reserved for American Idol which ran a little over (and because I still don't know what channel NBC is in Boston after all this time). And while the reason might be that JD was in a water tower for the meat of the episode, I think this worked better...
Which is a shame because I pretty much agreed with Red Hot Catholic Love 100%, and it remains one of my favorite eps (and, yes, I am Catholic). I really hope that's not the case, though, as South Park got its big break by showing Jesus, after all. This episode seemed like more of a...
Really liked that one. The talking-to-the-audience bit was pretty sucky, yes, but I think "Watch Her Leave" more than made up for it. The transformation of Kelso's son from a running gag to a character with such strong emotional connections to his old man was amazing to watch. And the Ben Folds...
For some reason, posting slipped my mind. It wasn't too bad. The scene with the dermatologist was definitely one of the hardest I've laughed just because of the sheer wrongness of it. (Also, anyone else notice they crop out Rex's finger now?)
Wasn't a great episode, although I loved the Burger King reference. For those of you who haven't seen the page, it's still up here: http://americanangst.com/dingfriesaredone2.html
I think illegitimate is really just the term Earl uses to drive the point home that neither kid was his, lest he seem to be putting the list ahead of children he should be fathering. ...On a side note, I feel like I should start capitalizing the List.
The torrents were all screwed to hell this week... Did I say torrent? I meant Tivo. Yes, Tivo. (Neveryoumind the fact I don't have it.) The episode was still well worth the wait. The jokes were made at breakneck speed, and I liked Albie's character. Especially when he threatens Earl with a fake...
I said the same thing to Adam at Ron Howard's final line in the finale after watching the two-hour block. But then he reminded me that the fact that the back-to-back format benefitted it greatly probably would mean a movie would work rather well. (Not to mention there were probably some great...
Yep. Alright, the hair thing angered me, but this was a little stumbling block of an episode anyway. It seems like the writers wanted to focus on too many other things besides Carla getting pregnant, and nothing really got clearly focused. Which was a shame, because the Janitor backstory was set...
I often wondered how someone could possibly write comedy like Arrested Development. I literally could not fathom the thought process behind some smart and borderline genius gags. I just thought they came naturally. I also felt that a lot of what happened in the last four episodes was held on...
Probably until it'd logically grow back. I can imagine this being Scrubs' version of Buster's hand. Hats, wigs... with JD, the possibilities are endless.
I liked that one. I was expecting the typical Cox-swoops-in-and-proves-he's-right routine, but what happened was a nice twist. Here's the part where I list all the funny things I liked. (I'm out of segues.)Todd's garage door opener, Mr. Prick, Keith's mouth harp, the Janitor's various pieces...
This week's will probably be a season highlight for me. The watchy-talky was great, and just when the gag was about to get old, Turk pitched his and things took a turn for the hilarious. Finally nice to see JD get over his qualms with Keith (although the Crisco was a hell of a send-off to the...
Even when one of Monk's rational fears is explored, it still never ceases to be entertaining. "I lie awake at night, laughing at your tens." I always like it when the "comic relief" character transcends that label, but it's rare that it happens without him/her gaining unrealistic depth all...
