geebsTV Commentary:
Dark Blue- So in the season finale, Dylan McDermott shoots his ex-partner, who happens to be his wife's fiancee. He outright lies about what happens, but we find out its because his ex-partner was dirty and he didn't want it to blow back on his wife. Which confused me at first because, I can understand the honor thing, but since he was still married to his wife, its not like she can get the dead guy's benefits or anything. But I guess they explained it by having him get a guy to defraud the state by faking divorce papers and a marriage certificate to dead guy. Or rather, backdating them?
Curb Your Enthusiasm- Jeff screwing Funkhauser's mentally ill sister? That's effed up! Well, more effed up is saying she's just crazy when she told everybody at the dinner table, especially since Funkhauser is throwing his sister back in the asylum because he's taking Jeff at his word. That's monstrous!
Oh and what the frick, who takes something out of someone else's fridge without asking?! I don't know what the hell the doc was talking about anyways, he didn't think Larry was gonna offer him anything, so he helped himself? If Larry was gonna not offer anything, then he just doesn't get anything, even if its impolite of Larry not to offer! And liquids are not okay. I mean, its less of a faux pas than food, but its still not right!
Entourage- Ashley's crazy. Asking to read E's e-mails?! At least she admitted it was crazy later, but still! And if E doesn't end up getting involved with Kate Mara, he's retarded!
(getting out of the cut to make the segue to the next show work better)
And what's with Meadow kissing Turtle to make Smash's gf jealous? Wouldn't that just raise Turtle's stock in her eyes, and make him more desirable to her, as opposed to scaring her off?!
One Tree Hill- speaking of Smash's gf, is she mixed? Because when they first showed the dailies of her that John from Cincinatti got for Brooke, I totally didn't recognize her and thought it was some ethnic cutie I'd never seen before. But then when she was at the airport I was all, "Wait, that's Smash's gf!"
Oh, and that is hilariously awesome that Rachel is now married to Dan. I mean, I saw her on the credits, but I swear they either mentioned it last week or I heard some rumors that her role would have to do with being the face of "Hos over Bros". I mean, they were getting Smash's gf for that, but since the character seems like a trainwreck, I figured she'd get replaced. But then when Dan was talking about his new wife, seconds before they showed her, I was all "OMG, its totally gonna be Rachel!"
I'm definitely curious about Riley from Beyond the Break claiming she slept with Nate thing. I mean, since she's preggers, they can get a paternity test and prove it once and for all. I don't think Nate woulda slept with her, even if he was totally plastered. But she doesn't exactly seem like a gold digger given she was babbling something about justice to agent guy. Mebbe someone at the party raped her, and she thought it was Nate?
Heroes- So, they added Nanny girl as Claire's new college friend, but I don't like how they dress her, it makes her look all gawky. I mean, she looked kinda hot on that one ep of Californication I saw, and these bikini pics from whatever magazine they're from looked kinda hot.
Oh, T-bag convincing Hiro that making "small changes" is fine, it won't mess up the future too bad has to be BS! I can't believe Hiro will prolly start doing that. Not only is it a slippery slope, he even mentioned the butterfly effect before. Like I'm not entirely conivnced that if Ando and Kimiko were an item, that he'd have been able to travel with Hiro like he did. Like didn't he go to Vegas to see Niki?
I also hate how Peter's power works now. When he could absorb powers just being in their presence that was cool. But the whole keep only the power of the last person he touched seems too complex. I mean, if he has a cool power, does he give it up for something else that might be cool? Or what if he has to trade to a sucky power because its appropriate in one sitch, but useless for everything else compared to what he has now? Like the super speed he got from Darth Maul is pretty cool, I'd be hard pressed to trade! And what will he do when one of the people he's rescuing as a paramedic is powered and he accidentally absorbs it?
And with the Haitian showing up as a deus ex machina to fix something for Angela or Bennett, that has me wondering, if he got near Sylar/Nate, would it Sylar revert back to Nate physically, or would he still look like Nate because its an actual physical change and he just can't get out of it now because his ability to change is suppressed?
NCIS- That seemed like an insane plan, Tony and Mcgee get captured so the US has an excuse to storm in and rescue them and Ziva. But how would he know they'd be taken to a room with a window for Gibbs to snipe through?! Speaking of, does Gibbs have teleportation abilities now? I mean, they definitely showed him to be hundereds of meters away, so it seems a little nonsensical for him to show up around the corner just a few minutes later!
90210- Wait, so what the hell are on those blueprints Liam was looking at at the end when he was all mad about Annie screwing him over? He's not gonna become some school shooter nut, is he?
And argh, after Teddy gave that story about how he was taking the fall for his roommate, I thought it was refreshing to make the seemingly rich douchey a-hole not actually be one. But then he actually does put the moves on Ade! WTF?! I guess they need a storyline for her and Navid, but its so prosaic. I at least hope he was being truthful about the Exeter story, and it is that he just has strong feelings for Ade. Though his character does seem to be a bit of a retcon in terms of Ade's history. First, they said she was her camp bf, but if she was hanging around his yacht long enough to know it by heart, that means she associated with him out of camp. Then they all should know him already. I mean, didn't they say Navid has been Ade's friend since they were little kids? Same for Naomi? Teddy shouldn't be that new to them!
