Scrubs. Season 8, Episode 14. "My Soul On Fire, Part One" Bahamas!
Lovely change-of-pace episode that finds all of the regulars in the Bahamas for the Janitor's wedding, and JD and Elliot have a(nother) minor crisis in their relationship.
Friday Night Lights. Season 4, Episode 1. "East of Dillon" Eric starts his new job.
Solid season opener which seamlessly introduces some new characters and (with Eric's new job) has the promise of great drama ahead.
Legend Of The Seeker. Episode 18. "Mirror" Thieves pose as Richard and Kahlan.
It's great to see Craig Horner and Bridget Regan having so much fun with completely different characters, but this was not what I wanted to see this week. The show has been gradually getting more dramatic and intense with every episode and this seems like a pointless step backwards to more obvious case-of-the-week stories.
This belonged in the first thirteen, not in the back nine.
Supernatural. Season 5, Episode 2. "Good God, Y'all" War in a small town.
Very clever. It starts out with something we've seen before (Sam and Dean in a town of demons) but it's still just a hoot to watch. Then, to my surprise, the writer (Sera Gamble) pulls a switch and it turns out that things are not what they seem, at all.
Titus Welliver never disappoints, and he is at his best here.
Parks And Recreation. Season 2, Episode 7. "Greg Pikitis" Halloween vandal.
Superb stuff. Leslie goes up against a teenage vandal, flanked by her boyfriend, Dave (Louis C.K.), and Andy (Chris Pratt), who now works for her. This team didn't even exist back in Season one (Dave hadn't been introduced, and Andy was kept in Anne's storyline) and now it results in pure comedy gold. It's hard to pick a highlight, but I'm gonna go for Andy's impression of a tough FBI agent as the biggest laugh of the episode.
It was also cool to see that Leslie was right all along.
The b-plot (about a Halloween party at Anne's) was also pretty funny.
The Office. Season 6, Episode 7. "Koi Pond" Michael falls in a kai pond, but it turns out to not be as simple as that...
A good one. The show is really making an effort to change things with Jim being promoted. And, I must say, they have succeeded. The Jim/Michael relationship is different now, and so is Jim's relationship with everybody else in the office.
Not sure why they did that (to keep things fresh, maybe?) but they are doing a good job with it.
Highlight? Supernatural (things are not what they seem)
