I totally agree......from the very first performance out of the gate it was just TOO MUCH and OVER PRODUCED. They need to be showcasing these people's talent....AND NOT overboard productions.......I also didn't agree with the song choices for some of the contestants.
Now to the hosts......UGH.......they are not meshing well together. DO NOT NEED 2 HOSTS.......pick one or the other.....preferably Mario Lopez.....
Out of Xfactor, The Voice, and American Idol.......The Voice is my favorite......they at least TRY HARD to make it about the contestants talent......AI is just a glorified popularity contest where the votes don't count that is going down fast with the addition of Nicki Minjah.......I still pick XFactor over AI too, but if they continue on the path they started last night, that's going to change.
Personally, I don't believe Christina likes it very much when a contestant sings one of her songs. Go back and take a look at some of her facial expressions......
I'm not feeling Nicholas David at all. Maybe if he had a make over or something........
Personally I'm not sure The Voice spring season will do good with Christina and CeeLo gone but I suppose Usher and Shakira have their fan base........I'm looking for Adam and Blake to take off next fall.
I think all will be revealed concerning Maddie next week. I think she knows a lot more than she's telling. I, too, also think Will and Alicia will be revealed. "What's done in the dark always comes to the light"
I think Jackie is suffering from early dementia.....I wonder where they are going with that.
I agree that Kalinda just should tell Lana to leave her alone. I think Lana is trying to build some kind of case against Kalinda. I don't know why she'd be taking pictures of Kalinda and Eli.......and, yes, Jill Flint needs to be back on Royal Pains.....She will be on their December wedding movie......
I suppose this episode was to garner character development instead of story development.
Gillian is just plain nuts and has proven over and over that she will DO ANYTHING to get what she wants. I think what she did will come back to bite her in the ass.
Margaret and Nucky just need to end it. I think Margaret has reservations because she has nowhere to go.
Gyp is a psychopath.....I still think he will end up dead, but not before trying to kill Nucky.
To add ....... Cannot wait for Rick and Group to be brought into this little community........we already know two alpha males( don't forget Rick/Shane) don't get along.......
On another subject......how long do you guys think this show will last? Seriously, just how long can you fight off zombies and remain interesting? Do they ever figure out a cure? Will things ever get back to normal?
One last note........the head aquarium was just creepy........that's my main question.........WHY is the governor keeping that like that?
"Comic Spoilers" Do you REALLY expect them to follow the comics word for word????? That would make for a boring show. Personally I have not read the comics or the graphic novels, which I think has made the show that more great for me.
The focus seems to be on how this has changed EVERYONE. Well, don't you think if a REAL zombie take over happened and if you survived that it would change you?????????
The Governor killing the army men....while he just might have felt threatened by them I don't think that's the only reason. Did you not hear him say "You Die You Turn" ?...... seems to me that anyone that has survived is infected whether bitten or not. It's clear to me him and his Dr(Dallas Roberts) are experimenting on the zombies to figure out a cure. It's also clear to me the Governor has lost his family.
Michonne......I don't blame her for not trusting these people. Still too early to make an assessment of her character.
They should have never hired Nicki Minaj ........ she will bring nothing to the judges table........she's not a music professional with extensive experience..............
What was your favorite musical moment from the episode?
Rayna's daughters at the talent show.......
What was your favorite non-musical moment from the episode?
Had to be the chat between Rayna and her father......
Did Deacon make the right decision in turning down Juliette's offer?
ABSOLUTELY, but I hardly think that this is over.
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being most pure, how pure are Avery's motives in getting Scarlett into the recording studio?
I'd say 1. He's only pushing this, as someone else said, to get the credit for it. I think Scarlett will realize this, although it will probably be too late.
What will come of Juliette's nasty little habit?
She'll get exactly what she's wanting from it......attention.....that's the only reason she's doing it.
@Kay EXACTLY......as I said her father is just a controlling, bitter old man(played quite well I might add by Powers Boothe)...quite sad actually......
I'm glad Rayna's husband decided against doing the line of credit. I'm unsure what's going to happen next there as I feel Rayna touring with Deacon might not happen.......Deacon is conflicted as well as Rayna is. Deacon is most likely still having recovery issues that he needs to deal with in order to move on........
Are we really to surmise that this mysterious woman is connected to whomever was doing the pictures at the end of the season premiere?
Call me crazy, but I think something else is going on here......I don't believe Reid would keep it a secret if he thought for a second anyone, including the team, would be in danger.
I did like Blake in this episode. Most of us had said it was going to take time ........... I like that she went back and confronted Reid.
This week's story was gruesome. I kinda liked that Reid was the one that busted the case wide open.......
I like the show and the music is great. But I don't like Juliette Barnes and her "Hey I have an addict parent please feel sorry for me and have sex with me because I want it" attitude. She looked at those teen girls before she stole whatever that was. She knew exactly what she was doing......
I don't know what's going on with Deacon. But I am glad he told Juliette no.........
Rayna seems so conflicted. Her father is just a bitter old man who needs to leave his daughter alone....
Annie is too smart for this. She will figure out what Eyal is up to. Sure, it seems he's less than happy with it. So he'll mess up and Annie will find out what's really going on.
Nucky already doesn't care about Margaret anymore or he wouldn't be banging the show girl.............however, if he finds out about Slater, it probably isn't going to end well for Margaret or Slater. "You can't be half a gangster......"
I'm waiting on Teddy to do something really drastic........like hurt his sister.
Nucky and Ms Randolph working together will indeed be interesting to say the least..........
Gip looks to be back next week in full force.........
I do agree this wasn't one of the more gripping episodes........
If you saw TALKING DEAD last night, then you know next week Merle is back and is with Andrea.......the reviewer is right in that it didn't matter that Andrea and Michonne weren't part of this week's episode.
All the survivors have changed as they have went from being scared to being strong, fighting survivors.
Could it be that there are even more survivors out there? We know there's Merle and THE GOVERNOR, but could there be more? We'll see. Could the story with the other inmates ended any other way? I don't think so. The group is running on adrenaline and have been for so long......
I agree that Alicia is not standing by Peter in the traditional sense. And I think it will be the nail in the coffin if it is revealed that Peter once again cheated.
I also agree that the case this week was weak.
Eli had a divine week. I like how the intern was discredited, however, it seems not all is well on that front.
I've never liked Jackie from the beginning. She's a busy body. Seems she could be suffering from dementia.
Loved how Diane stood up to the trustee.
I have to say I also liked having the break from Kalinda/Nick.
NOW if CBS would get their head out of their ass and quit preempting this show for stupid football.................
I say again Cece won't make it unless she gets her arrogance in check and she's SO arrogant I just don't think she'll heed Demi's advice. While both Cece and Paige can sing, if Cece can't overcome her arrogance and Paige can't overcome her nerves neither will get far.
As far as Cece..Look at what happened to the punk kid Astro last season......
@Allison Thompson
Morgan and Garcia DID NOT get married. The name of this weeks episode is THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS and is available for viewing(the day after originally airing) at www.cbs.com/criminalminds
I'm still not liking the Blake character. She's not adding anything, IMO, to the team dynamic. Perhaps in time......
Disappointed we have not seen anymore of this mysterious photographer that was in the season premiere whose taken pictures of our team.......
This week's episode fell flat for me. The first thing I thought when I read Hotch was in a for surprise, I thought his new lady friend would be pregnant. And just why would you people think that would be irresponsible of Hotch? Because of his job? Geez....... Since the actress has another gig, might be hard to get her back, but, it seems they are going in that direction with them making it seem they are going to make a go of it.
The best scene was at the end when Penelope was waiting with drinks for the team and they all shared a hug........
Meg and Veroliene thanks for ruining it for those of us that haven't seen it!
Of course Cece and Paige made it......the producers want the drama of the rivalry between those two.....Cece won't make it unless she gets her arrogance in check......even Demi called her on that last week.
It's supposed to air in it's entirety Tuesday night at 7CT ..........
