Moonlight. Episode 14. Click. My reviews of this show are repeditive. I always end up saying the same stuff: It looks cool and stylish, it tells good stories, it has superb action sequences and it has a sweet romance at it's core. Yet, this case-of-the-week driven episode is nothing like the last few episodes. In a ripped-from-the-headlines storyline an A-list actress dies and Mick and Beth investigage. The episode opened with a slick car chase, which was a lot of fun to watch. The story gave both Mick and Beth a reason to be jealous of someone their partner was with, yet it avoided making either character behave in a juvenile or predictable way. When Mick left Beth and ran off to talk to the girl of the week, Beth didn't pout or act like a child. She was like a real person. And the episode was littered with simply adorable moments of them as a couple. Beth has won me over. She's nothing like Coraline, so I can see why Mick would go for her.
The episode's best scenes were the ones devoted to Josef. First, a cool scene with Mick which reflects how their relationship has changed. Second, a chilling scene with Beth where she goes to him in a time of need to do something horrible... to protect Mick. A great twist. I love it!
Reaper. Episode 15. Coming to Grips. Best! Episode! Yet! Making Andi a part of the team makes her more interesting and makes the show more interesting. As usual the case-of-the-week is kept in the background and is only used to prop up the goodness that is Reaper. And what goodness! Sock in a relationship? Ben married? And, best of all, all of the stuff with Andi. So funny. Even the case-of-the-week was hilarious. And the twist at the end? Man, this show is so awesome right now.
Supernatural. Episode 19. Provenance. Flawless. This show continues to illustrate the relationship between the brothers in a new light and I never tire of seeing that. Dean urging Sam to date was both funny and sweet. In equal measure. And, for the second time in a row, we see Dean playing mentor/protector to Sam. Taylor Cole is wonderful as the girl who Sam is interested in and the show makes a wise choice is making her part of the team for one episode. It shakes up the formula, gives us someone to worry about during the climax and... she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. On TV. This week. I think.
Highlight? Reaper: Kandyse McClure was in it!!
