geebsTV Commentary:
Friday Night Lights- Heh, if I didn't end up being spoiled for this ep, I woulda thought it was Tim who knocked up Becky. That sly dog! But while he's made some bad decisions before, nailing Becky isn't one of those. (Yet!) But what the hell, so that brief interaction she and Luke had, they apparently ran off to have a quickie, and that was enough to knock her up? I mean, it only takes one time, but it seems like a crazy stretch to think Luke being all, "wanna do something?" when he saw her late night at the quickie mart or wherever would translate to them doing it. Because that's the only time they coulda done it, since it seemed she avoided him like the plague afterward. Was there a cut scene or something? Because their tryst was a little out of the blue.
Leverage- I still don't get the loan shark's motivation. I was thinking, the guy actually wanted the bar and if the daughter had come up with the 15k, he'd still be whatever and ask for the bar. Otherwise, the gang could've easily paid him off with the emergency fund. And why didn't they? Again, when they first heard about it, Nate coulda just given her the money, they didn't know the guy was starting to get deep into the neighborhood, trying to be king criminal. Then I would believe they wouldn't just pay the guy off because he wanted the bar, and not the money. But, apparently not!
I mean, when they won the bar back, they coulda been done. Which seems a little silly that he wasted his time coming to collect before his flight. It sounded like he already had more than enough money to prove to his Da that it was a lucrative business. I mean, if the money would make a difference, then he would've been pissed that he lost the bar to Nate in that bet. I mean, he was a little, but he was like dang, whatever here's the bar, and it didn't seem like it would hurt his case to his father to let him run things over in America.
Burn Notice- Another confusing bit in this one. Was Madeline trying to get records for that one chyx husband? Then wouldn't she have had to lie about her name and her husband's? So she should know she couldn't be friends with that chick because there's that huge lie. Was she gonna just lie about her name and family the rest of the time she knew her? And the whole Mike breaking in so she wouldn't get fired. Wouldn't they know the records they found on the guy would be from there and thus already missing before the break in?
Bones- So, what was Secret Service guy's goal there? To see that if someone investigated the remains like they did, whether or not they'd be able to determine there was a second gunman? And if they could, he'd say they'd have to deny the request to exhume the body to determine what really happened?
I did like they went into a little more detail about why Booth would be pissed if it was JFK and it wasn't just patriotism, America is too good to do that. Since he was a sniper and had assassinated for the government, but convinced he was only sent after baddies, this shakes that notion. Because they coulda just lied about his targets, and he was killing for their agenda, rather than to make the world a safer place. The whole being related to John Wilkes Booth was an interesting touch as well.
But Bones lying that it wasn't JFK, why would that work? So if its not JFK, why would the Secret Service do that whole thing? Booth would want to know why they were there then. Its just some other mysterious other body they were wanting to investigate, even though the Secret Service guys behavior when they thought it was JFK made it obvious it was? Heh, and how did Booth not end up wrenching the head guy's arm out of his socket? He handcuffed the guy, and then flipped him over the fence at an awkward angle! Basically, all that guy's body weight is flying through the air, with his arm trapped in that one position, and he has no way to brace himself!
Fringe- I'm a little skeptical that they didn't freak out about Peter's test showing a false positive. I mean, they don't know he flipped the swab. So if Peter was positive but the test didn't show it, wouldn't they worry other people were infected and weren't showing? It took a while for the nosebleeds, maybe they just hadn't reached that point yet. If the CDC guy was paranoid enough that he was gonna send in Army to kill everyone left in the building, I don't see why he wouldn't re-quarantine all those other people who were cleared?
But cool, Astrid gets the first clue about Peter not being from their Earth. Though given Walter is crazy, she might just dismiss it as her making something out of nothing.
Supernatural- So wait, even though they didn't give their real names, given the Wraith corpse still looks human, won't everyone think they basically just murdered a nurse and escaped and people will be looking for them? Sam already violently attacked several people! I would think there'd be an APB out for escaped mental patients who killed a pretty young white nurse! That would be big news! Then again, they've been high on the FBI's most wanted before, so its not like they haven't had the law looking for them pretty hard before.
