05.30 Scrubs
06.00 Dexter
07.00 Breaking Bad
08.00 Arrested Development
01.00 The Office
Scrubs. Season 8, Episode 12. "Their Story II" The new characters get to narrate an episode.
Where did Lee Thompson Young come from? While I have grown to like most of the new characters and welcome the idea of giving them an episode to narrate, I'm a bit thrown by the fact that Derek (Lee Thompson Young) never appeared before and is given a lot to do in this, his first, episode. I didn't really warm to him, but some of the other stuff was good.
Dexter. Season 4, Episode 3. "Blinded By the Light" The one with the neighbours.
A complete departure from the usual type of episode as we get introduced to a large group of new characters and we see Dexter trying to solve a vandalism problem on his doorstep. There's a twist in the end of the story and - overall - it feels like a worthwhile change-of-pace episode.
Breaking Bad. Episode 7. "A No-Rough-Stuff Type Deal" Walt and Jesse perform a robbery and Skyler discovers that her sister is thief.
As a regular episode this one is typically great, but as a season finale I find it somewhat lacking and undramatic. Nothing about this screams End Of Season, but everything about it makes me want to see what happens next...
Arrested Development. Season 3, Episode 10. "Fakin' It" Mock Trial.
Another of the great ideas of AD: Judge Reinhold playing himself, as the host of reality-type court show.
Episode highlight? George Michael and Maeby get married. Aw...
The Office. Season 6, Episode 5. The "Mafia" visits Michael.
Not really. This is a very silly, but very funny episode of The Office. Some fans don't like it when the show departs from reality too much, but this episode made me laugh and I loved it.
Leaving Jim and Pam out of an episode seems dumb, though. Couldn't they episode have started with them returning from honeymoon?
Highlight? Breaking Bad (typically great)
