Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town
I like the running gag about the judge's gavels constantly being stolen and replaced by stupid objects. Death's "Jedi mind trick" technically wasn't that impressive since the cops he used it on were morons anyway. I'm thinking right now that Ricky will eventually solve the murders and then have a scene where he bursts into the courtroom to explain everything. Possible suspects: Marney, because she's so forgetful she may have just forgotten that she killed; or someone on the news team, because they show that same news promo every single episode and the motive of course would be juicy stories. I wonder if there is a point to having Mayor Bowman be Ricky's father other than the surprise reveal.
Lost
Was not expecting to see Keamy again, but I was not surprised to see him die. There are certain things that I guess were meant to happen in both (all?) timelines. I hope they explain why Jin was in the freezer. So far they haven't really shown us any flash-sideways stuff that connect the coincidental character appearances together. Sayid fighting Dogan was awesome though - I think every Sayid episode has to have him do at least a little fighting/killing. Jacob's promise to Dogan about healing his son but not letting him see him again was a lot like Ben's promise to Juliet about curing her sister but never being able to see her again either. And both of those are reminiscent of the old Greek myth in which Orpheus is allowed to retrieve his dead wife from the underworld on the condition that he never look back at her. Like a reward and a punishment at the same time...
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
Dammit, I'm getting tired of the Heroes losing because I like most of them and hate most of the Villains. (Side note on that: as ridiculously stupid as Candice was the first time around, she seems smarter and more mature now. Good for her if that's the case.) "Why doesn't anyone ever say anything good about me?" Coach asks. Well, maybe they would if you weren't so self-centered and pretentious, and if you weren't making yourself a joke by telling embellished stories and pretending to know martial arts. I hate that they had to go and play the sappy music as Coach cried. Are we supposed to be sympathizing with him for being his image's own worst enemy?
Parks and Recreation
YES, Jean Ralphio came back! I mean that guy is a tool and I'd hate him in real life, but as a TV character I find him hilarious. Thought he was only going to be in the one episode. Ron was also funny in messing with Leslie, and Tom in his scheme to become part owner of a night club (I love the slideshow about all the celebrities with unique or weird names being denied access). Still love the April and Andy stuff too, they play so well off each other. Very solid episode.
The Office
So after the hour long wedding episode earlier this season, now we get the hour long baby episode. The funniest moment for me was Michael wanting to bring a dictionary to the child birthing and Oscar yelling "The hospital provides dictionaries, bring a thesaurus!" The accidental breastfeeding of the other couple's baby was also one of the funniest parts - I should have seen it coming, but I didn't. Between this and the daycare interview, I'm starting to think that Jim and Pam are a socially terrible couple when interacting with anyone but each other. The Andy and Erin stuff was actually kind of cute, the way he instantly brightened her mood when she realized he was trying to ask her out. Neither of these two are very bright, but they can both be sweet in a goofy way. I think they'll be good together.
Hero of the Week: Oscar from The Office, because he usually plays the straight man, making the aforementioned line both unexpected and slightly funnier than it would have been coming from someone else.
Douchebag of the Week: Coach from Survivor, because we really didn't need a whole 5-10 minutes of him not being able to get over himself while failing to even realize that that's his biggest problem.
