Happy Town
Wow, I was not expecting all those reveals. Nor was I expecting them to tell us the Magic Man's identity, but seeing as how the series is over I'm glad there was at least that much closure. I'm also glad to say my predictions were wrong. Happy Town has been somewhat average up until now, but this episode had all the makings of a good finale: action and suspense, some questions answered while new ones opened up, and M.C. Gainey busting into a room with two automatic machine guns raised in the air. I may not have said this before watching this episode, but I'll miss you, Happy Town.
The IT Crowd
Well, we started the season with a sub-par episode, then moved on to an awesome one, and this week's episode I'd say is middle of the road. I'm not against ridiculing Scientology - it is the most ridiculous religion in existence - but my problem with the Spaceology storyline in this episode is just that it came much too late. People have been making fun of Scientology ever since Tom Cruise put it in the spotlight, but that was years ago and the topic has cooled off by now. However, I will say that Douglas is just the kind of self-indulgent moron who would buy into a bogus religion created by someone named Beth Gaga Shaggy (another cameo from creator/writer/director Graham Linehan), so it worked in that sense. Jen's storyline was amusing, dating the nerdiest and most boring guy in a band (he basically has just one dull facial expression), as was Roy's sexual harassment trial against the masseur who kissed him on the ass, but unlike some of the better episodes, none of the arcs tied together.
