Flight Of The Conchords. Season 2, Episode 6. "Love is a Weapon of Choice" Bret and Jemaine fall for the same woman.
Again. Oh dear. Yes, there are lots of quirky ideas in this little tale, but - unfortunately - this is too much like earlier episodes. The boys can't always be falling in love with the same woman. Because it won't always be funny.
24. Season 7, Episode 10. "5PM - 6PM" Jack catches Dubaku, gets his list and uncovers all the bad guys. As the sun sets, he and Tony sit on the steps and catch their breath...
Superb, superb, superb! As fine a season finale as you would ever see. And it's not even a season finale. The Dubaku storyline comes to an incredibly satisfying conclusion. The tension betweeen Jack and Agent Walker is fantastic and the chase to stop the mole is thrilling.
Renee Walker is a great character and a great addition to the world of 24. Annie Wersching sends the character's pain and guilt (over the death of an innocent) searing through the screen with nuclear intensity. She feels too much. Which makes her a great counterpoint to Jack Bauer who acts like he feels nothing. Her presence make Jack Bauer more interesting. When have you ever been able to say that about a supporting character before? Just putting them in the scene make the mighty Jack Bauer more interesing! The fight between them in the hospital is some of the best stuff the show has ever done. It's not just good character drama, but it goes to the core of what this show is really about.
Damages. Season 2, Episode 6. "A Pretty Girl in a Leotard" Patti goes on TV and calls Kendrick a murderer, to see if she can provoke a reaction.
Ted Danson is back. It's a really clever, really wonderful twist when Patti starts to use her former enemy to fuel her case against her current enemy. Clever Patti. But how, we wonder, will Ellen react?
The flashforwards show that Rick Messer will enter Ellen's room on the night that she shoots someone. Man, that's one busy night! How on Earth are they going to make all of this make sense?
Highlight? 24 (a show still in it's prime)
