So, been watching "The Voice". Still loving Ricky Wilson, not really that interested in the contestants though. Ricky in his waistcoat is the only reason for watching it really though (and I loved his random, but awesome, Orville impression last night. It was just too good). Oh, and what noise to penguins make? I was just thinking about that the other day (we were making penguins at work).
Last night I also watched
H50 5x12
I thought this episode was better than last weeks and there was a lot I enjoyed about it. I liked the case of the week - I especially liked that we, the audience, knew who the killer was right from the beginning (it was all a bit "Columbo") but we didn't know why. Gregory Itzin (who played President Charles Logan in "24") was cold, wasn't he? There was nothing remorseful about his character at all.
It was good having the main four (plus Max, Grover and Kamekona) together again for this episode - it kinda makes me said that it even needs to be commented on. They should be together all the time but I know that's not possible.
I thought the Steve and Danny scenes were quite good this week but their arguments seemed more harsh to me this time and I don't know if I liked that. I thought Danny was right when he was annoyed at Steve for leaving Grace alone and Steve should have been more apologetic about that but I also thought Danny was really insensitive towards Steve about what happened to his car. He knows how important that car is to him so I think bringing it up a second time was a bit mean - it was almost like he did it just to antagonise him. I'm not sure how I felt about that. I know arguing is their thing but it's usually more lighthearted than in was in this episode.
I thought the second storyline about Steve's car was good and I liked how it kinda tied in to the main case of the week. Steve obviously saw the victims in that kid who'd stolen the car and didn't want that kid to end up the same way. Hence him trying to help the kid instead of arrest him. I felt sorry for Steve when they found his car though and he realised that all the work he'd done on it had been undone and those pieces are not replaceable. I hope he manages to get them back. For him it wasn't about the car, it was about his Dad (and Danny should have known that!).
I thought the scenes between Grover and his daughter Samantha were good too - it's a shame that Samantha is suffering but I'm glad they're doing it and haven't just forgotten about what she's been through. I felt sorry for Grover when he was telling Chin how useless he felt. The scene between him and Samantha at the end was really nice. Hopefully he can help her get through this just by being there.
