geebsTV Commentary:
Covert Affairs- Okay, rule #74 of spy shows/movies, concerning foreign operatives/operative from other agencies. If you butt heads with them and don't like their methods- they're trustworthy. If they generally seem like nice people, or end up asking them for advice about some personal issue in your life? They're a turncoat double agent!
Make It or Break It- Interesting, some people saw it coming, but I didn't realize they were setting up Payson's little sister to possibly having the potential to reach elite status. It makes sense though, I'm sure she'd have the same genetics, and access to the same training. But poor Payson, she doesn't want to be mad at Kaylee for being the new #1, or jealous of her sister for getting good, but she is. But she's at least classy enough to try and act all fine with it. Which is why she got that brand new award they just came up with. Even the presentation was lame and corny.
And really, why the hell would Kaylee's dad have the divorce papers in his jacket pocket at that banquet?! Other than a deus ex machine for Kaylee to get freaked out. So, starting not to eat and obsessively exercising? I guess she's about to have a eating disorder storyline? Though I would think Sasha, as an experienced coach, would know better than to tell Kaylee that she shouldn't try to mimic that one Chinese girl, because she has an advantage because she's 10lbs lighter. I mean, he obviously meant, "You have different body types, you should do the moves that best suit you", but c'mon, he had to figure she might take it as "go on a crash diet and work out hard to have that girl's body type"!
Owel, I can only hope Chloe's speech is starting to melt Lauren's icy heart, much as Summer breached through. Not that she didn't have a big head when she won the Rocky. Though that was Steve's doing because as Summer said, he and Lauren have abandonment issues, so he spoils her rotten. Well, its more Kaylee's dad's fault. I mean, I wasn't sure if his whole, "who would've thought when we started this gym that our daughter would be #1 girl at the gym, and yours would be... well, I'm sure she'll win something one of these days!" was a purposeful crack or not. I mean, the actor's characters often come off as abrasive (like on Dexter!), but I wasn't sure if he was just stating the facts and legitimately meant, "oh, I hope your daughter hits it big too!" or he was being kinda an a-hole. Because again, a lot of his characters often are kinda a-holes.
Pretty Little Liars- That was anti-climactic from last week? So Emily just tripped and hurt her arm and knocked herself out, and Toby grabbed her and took her to the hospital and ran off?
Hmm, in the end, there's a wrecked motorcycle being brought to the Cavanaugh place and Jenna's crying, but Emily couldn't bring herself to actually ask if he was dead or not. I mean, a crash that bad, I would assume they'd have to find a body if Toby was really dead. But if they just found a crashed motorcycle and Toby's missing, I think Jenna is a little premature with her tears. He could still be alive.
I'm still confused about what their relationship was. On the one hand, sometimes the way they talk about it, it sounds like Toby was molesting her, but on the other, she seems to really care about him, as if the whole thing was mutual. Though they're not together anymore.
So Hannah is into nerdy dude now? They made it seem like her current bf wasn't really that much of a dick and liked her even before she was Miss Popular. But I call shenanigans, her bf is a dumb jocko- no way would he be "above" stupid youtube videos! I would think all HS-ers would be amused by retarded things on youtube, not just the nerds.
Okay, ha, Aria asked if her dad was gonna move out due to the mess. And he truthfully said yes. Because its the mom who moves out! Her parents are kinda dicks, they talk all, "Oh, don't worry, your dad isn't moving out!" I don't think that's the detail the kids were worried about, they don't want the family broken up, period! So her family is in shambles, and Fritzy has some sub teaching his class, and Aria breaks into his apartment (who really keeps keys under the welcome mat? Why bother locking the door at all?) and hears an answering machine message about a job offer from another school. Let him go! That's actually the smart thing to do, rather than they continually pine for each other and eventually get caught and his life is ruined!
