"But the person who stole the show for me was Henry, the 10-year old adopted son of the Mayor/Queen. He's spunky, intelligent and has just the right amount of persistence, and faith in fantasy to make you want to believe."
Fabulous writing and idea Jeff, but your need for comedies to make sense still utterly astounds me. Last week's Community was the funniest episode of any show so far this season. A show like Community, as is also the case with 30 Rock, will never make sense, but it is hilarious and that's all I need in a comedy.
Great stuff Matt! You see the stare downs from Chibbs? If he doesn't already know Juice is guilty, he seems very suspicious. I would be surprised if that doesn't come up soon. Whether Chibbs decides to rat Juice out is another story, but he will definitely figure it all out and bring it to his friend's attention.
"And for the bad: I find Entertainment 720 and Tom to be too over the top. It was not funny and it always ends up making me cringe more than anything."
@farsia I thought it was strange how quickly he climbed the ladder of the Commander's inner circle, but maybe it was BECAUSE he illegally came through the portal against everyone's wishes that the Commander trusts him.
If the Sixers are a rebel group created by someone back in 22nd century, who is sending people back through the portal to battle against the Terra Nova colony, then it makes sense that the Commander would immediately trust Jim more than anyone else. The fact that he was a cop, and stopped that assassin don't hurt either.
This Nashvillian loved the back to back country hits from Darius Rucker and Sugarland...oh and Rachel Bilson was extremely charming throughout. I'm all in on Hart of Dixie.
@Timothy
Slasher attack on teens near end. Did the slasher that struck the kid full on in the chest have its barb wrapped in cloth? The kid should have been at least cut from the blow....oh brother...
--I thought the same thing. Come on man!
But also, regarding Jim, I believe he was away two years (of a five year sentence?) which is why Zoe didn't age more than that. That's still a long time away from his family in Josh's defense.
"Emily VanCamp really sells this show. If she were too cold we wouldn't care. If she were too sweet it wouldn't seem plausible. But Emily is a delicious combination of innocence and evil."
Well said. I'm with Leigh in that this is my favorite fall pilot so far. I am without a doubt completely engaged with the show after one episode.
@Eric yeah they got a new actress, and boy was it a good move. I thought this new Lilly was the best thing about this fantastic second episode. From shoving other babies, to constant "My daddy!"s and "Kill other baby"s she was hilarious.
@Matt yeah I'm not sure if Margaret's tattoo necessarily means that she was club affiliated. My take from it was that she definitely has a sordid past ...whether that was club/gang related, or something else just as scary/dangerous, it still proved something to Tara at the time. She was in the thick of it, and then at one point got out. Advice from her now means much more than prior to seeing the tattoo. For some reason Meri's druggy boyfriend idea sounds right to me.
