"Why Dance Around To The Same Damn Song?" - cos it's a fun song, damn it!
Cut = spoilers
House 6x01/02 (Broken) - I'm very conflicted about this episode.
On one hand we have terrific performances, especially by Hugh Laurie who proves he's a the locomotive of the entire show. The rest of the cast doesn't need to show up at all, the doctor is in the house, that's all that counts. I would even prefer if Wilson didn't show up, it reminded me that there is an outside world. Excellent cast, excellent actors and excellent acting. Some of the moment (like House's attempt to help the Freedom Master that backfired or the sex scene) were great.
On the other hand, so many wallbangerish moments it's not even funny. First of all, I may not be a psychiatric nurse but even I know that what the doctor did to the “Freedom Master”, confronting him, like that, in public, was badwrong on too many levels to count. Unless the standards are different in USA than they are in UK. House was right to get pissed off. Then there is the case of the jukebox. I did not get it (Why was she mute? Why did they put that jukebox there? Why was it relevant? Why, after 10 years, giving it to her made her speak again? Why no one made the connection? How the hell did Freedom Master know about it, don't ell me he really was a superhero), it made completely no sense, it destroyed the mood.
However, I must point out, I am glad that House if off the Vicodin. He became unbearable in the last few season, he lost that spark that made his jerkiness fun, just compare him from seasons 1 and 5. I, for one, am glad if that gives us out jerky but not evil House back.
How I Met Your Mother 5x01(Definitions) After a very disappointing last season finale, the first episode of the new series looks promising.
Bones - 2 episodes into the next series and it's still Meh.
The series completely lost the spark. B/B do it, don't do it, I don't care anymore. Sweets is megairritating, no word on Zack, Brennan crossed the line between quirky and annoying, no idea what's going on with Hodges and Angela, and I started to ship Boots and Cam. Cindy Lauper's cameo though? Shocked and appalled - but it a good way.
Criminal Minds 5x01 (Faceless, Nameless) - As always, way above average. The show is so consistent in being good, it just doesn't do “weak” episodes!
I'm curious is the Boston Reaper will become a constant threat until they catch him in the final episode of the seasons or are they heading for an arc.
Reed! Oh, god, Reed, why the hair! You look so pretty, I'm starting to hate you in a “I hate pretty girls” bitchy kind of way. You're a dude! But hey, great to see you still being a BAMF, insanely pretty hair or not.
Psych - I finally caught up on all episodes! Fellow Psych fans, we are equal and as one! No matter how creepy and inaccurate that sounds! Psych is now to me what Bones used to be, the “can't spell slaughter without laughter” show, it also has the best theme song of all the shows that are currently aired. To illustrate,
I can't stop listening to the Boys II Men a cappella version
And the Spanish version, just because I can
And the original version, because it's that great
I must admit though, what happened to Shawn's great “psych outs”, he used to have one or two major ones every episodes, now he barely does the “my psych sense in tingling” thing :/
