Community. Episode 7. "Introduction to Statistics" Halloween party.
Very funny episode (the funniest in a while) that gives all of the cast something good to do.
The drug-switch gag is pretty old, but it works here and makes me laugh, so who cares?
The Vampire Diaries. Episode 7. "Haunted" Halloween. And death.
Another one that packs a punch. It features the death of a regular character. A character that has dies multiple times, but - this time - it will probably stick and they will stay dead.
The best scene was probably the final one, as Damon steps up and does something nice for Elena. Sure, he's still the bad guy (for now) but in moments like these the writers lay the foundations of his salvation.
Castle. Season 2, Episode 6. "Vampire Weekend" Halloween.
Another winner. Once again (due to Halloween) the case-of-the-week is larger than life. Which is fine. These kind of crimes work well on this show.
FlashForward. Episode 6. "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps" Halloween.
Pretty weak carry-on from last week's (good) cliffhanger.
Mark's running after the kids in costumes was stupid on different levels: stupid storytelling, stupid character decision from Mark and stupid writers to think that we (at home) are going to get excited about this, and believe that anything significant is coming from it.
Lloyd finally arrives in Mark's house, and... it's quite a boring meeting. The aftermath is worse: Mark and his wife have 'a talk'. Painful stuff. Some of the most overwrought, badly written and badly acted television I've seen in quite a while.
Highlight? The Vampire Diaries (packs a punch)
