• The Mentalist Review: A Wicked Game (5/18/2012)

  The guy in the backof the limousine sort of looked like Wainright to me (and was hoping the review would confirm it). By the bullet holes, he was killed by the FBI (or why gag him). If so -- and I'm just asking/speculating -- why didn't he squirm around of moan or do anything to give Red John's game away? I think the FBI female agent is a red herring ... but in this show (and I love it and enjoy Jane's games and cons every week and will watch it until it ends!!) everybody, like all 300 million people seem to be Red John disciples. I mean, it's getting to be a little like the old Adam West Batman show where every super villain has a super new weapon and a dastardly plot to take over the world. Just saying ....

  I meant "fun"
  

• Bones Review: Bones of Contention (5/8/2012)

  I suspected the killer would turn out to be the guy who offered Booth a job. Loved the podiatrist and how Bones so casually insults him and his arm goes dead! Fune episode -- definitely!

• Glee Season 3 Ratings Down (12/21/2011)

  My point of view is that I'm not so happy with the third season of Glee.  I wondered if ratings were down ... and they are, but still "good," although I'm not sure what that means and couldn't find actual rankings of all shows for all three seasons (meaning were they a top 10 show in the first or second year or a top 50 show out of maybe 80 or 90 total shows?).

   

  I don't know what these articles say (and they suggest difficulties and then suggest the suggestions are phony), but wanted to stick them where other Gleeks might look at them and maybe say something that will help me figure out what I think I can expect of Glee going forward ...

  Los Angeles Times Article: Has 'Glee' lost its grip?

  Softening ratings and grumbling over the Fox series' third-season direction are raising questions about its future.

• I don't understand something (5/12/2011)

  I think it was the costumes and what the song was about -- but I was never sure either. If no one jumps in to say, maybe you can figure it out by finding the review and comments of that episode, although I'm sure I read them and still don't know (but then sometimes things go right by me). If you didn't notice, in "Home" there are a couple of thousand pages, and maybe you can look under shows and then reviews there.

• The Inconsistency of characters (5/12/2011)

  At the end of the 1st 13 episodes, the characters were all resolved.  those episodes were written to end the show (if the network didn't want any more episodes).  I read after they came back that they "reset" all the characters, since they'd resolved all their initial conflicts.  I think that created then and still creates the inconsistencies because they keep doing it.  Quinn is a bitch, Rachel is overly sensitive and vulnerable, Finn is a dumb jock, etc., etc.

  Other shows allow their characters to grow while still solving a crime every week, or healing their patient, or whatever the show is about.  Glee should.

  Quinn for instance began to grow as she dealt with her pregnancy to the point that when she asked Scheuster if he thinks she can get it all back, he says, "No, she can get something better."  Why can't they let her?

  I guess they want to keep the characters simple so they can plug them in as a stereotype and feature the songs (think about how so many songs are about the different aspects of love and maybe that's why all the partner-drama).
