The Office – Garage Sale

Who the hell makes the schedules for NBC? This is an extremely
pivotal time for The Office, when the lead actor for the last seven
years is finally getting ready to leave and we need to see if the show
can exist without him, now that an eighth season has been confirmed. It
should be an important event within the show, and it would help to have
some momentum going. But this is the first episode in four weeks, and
there won’t be another for three more. It makes no sense.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Padawan Lost

The Clone Wars
begins the ending of season 3 with a two-parter. Ashoka and Anakin are
raiding a droid base with Master Plo (why he’s there at all is never
truly explained other than he’s just there to tell Anakin to give up
later) when Ashoka is abducted and taken to an island where Jedi
younglings are hunted for sport… gee, where have we heard that plot
before? Oh, yeah! The Running Man, The Man with the Golden Gun, Predator and Predators. The Clone Wars has done their own version of classic movie plots with a Star Wars
twist on them before, but this was the weakest one by far. But I will
say this, I was laughing at the sheer stupidity of some scenes. So it’s
not like it wasn’t entertaining, it’s just that I was really hoping for
more.

Archer – Stage Two Review

Tonight’s Archer was… wow. Never thought that Archer
of all shows would go to cancer as a storyline subject matter.
Thankfully, the episode works like gangbusters and delivered an amazing
progression of Archer’s character, but gave us huge laughs every couple
of minutes… hell, every couple of seconds. If you’re reading this and
you just so happen to work on a NBC show called The Event, pay attention to this episode and this review and maybe you’ll learn what real character development is.

The Cape – Endgame

The Cape has finally disappeared with his last puff of smoke.  Two weeks ago NBC aired the last episode of The Cape that would be televised, but they’ve released one final episode, Endgame, online. But don’t be fooled by the title, Endgame isn’t the series finale, it’s just the episode they were shooting when NBC pulled the plug.

Fringe – Stowaway

Last week I wasn’t sure about the soul magnets concept or
William Bell taking over Olivia’s body. And honestly, I don’t think the whole
thing is working out that well. The concept of minds inhabiting other bodies is
a staple of science fiction, but tying the whole thing to “souls” just makes
the idea seem too fanciful for this show. Bell
in general seems awfully flighty and mystical for a genius scientist, talking
about fate and destiny and offering spiritual reasons for the unexplainable as
much as physical ones. And Anna Torv’s Nimoy impression really got on my nerves
after a couple minutes. The focus is too much on the old guy voice, and not
just trying to match his inflection. It sounds stupid. Bell wouldn’t have a creaky voice in a young
woman’s body.

30 Rock – Queen of Jordan

This week’s 30 Rock is a single extended inside joke; the entire 30 minutes is an episode of a show-within-a-show.  Viewers who’ve been watching all season know that Tracy’s wife has her own reality show, Queen of Jordan, and now it has completely devoured 30 Rock!  The directing, editing, music, bumpers, and even the opening titles have been replaced with the sort of production values and camera work that viewers would expect from a crappy reality show, and the entire 30 Rock cast & crew have taken this idea and charged ahead full steam with it.  Such commitment, combined with the meta premise makes this the best episode of the season so far.

Young Justice – Bereft

In the latest Young Justice episode, our teen heroes find themselves unable to remember anything since before the team was formed.  This gives many of the characters the chance to “Do over” their first impressions, while also providing the audience with some missing backstory.  It’s a clever idea for doling out some exposition, while offering interesting character interactions at the same time.

Archer – Movie Star

Ditsy
airhead actress, Roma Thorn, is tapped to play a spy in her new movie.
So what’s her first move? Make a deal with Malory Archer to go with Lana
and learn the tricks of the trade while Archer tries to hone in on the
action. Meanwhile, Carol, Pam and Gillette obsess over the megastar in
their office with their “Operation Dick Sledge.” Need I say it? Hilarity
ensues.
I don’t even have to write a review to let you all know how “amazinnnnnngggg” this episode was, but I have to anyway.

This
week’s episode gave us three threads to chew on (or eat and pull out of
you over the course of a week — if you’ve seen the episode, you’ll get
that). Archer and Lana going head-to-head over the training of Roma,
the “gals” of the office sneaking into Roma’s penthouse to pull a
classic high school tradition that goes horribly wrong and Malory trying
to rewrite a movie script with Cyril (and let’s just say she has some
very specific “ideas” about the story). On paper, this episode could
have easily fallen flat on its ass. Not only did it succeed, but it blew
me away. Not quite as good as some of the other episodes, but this is
definitely in my top 5 for the series so far.

Fringe – Os

I can’t tell if Jorge Garcia is incredibly unfortunate to be
pigeon holed as the guy who played Hurley for the rest of his life or
incredibly fortunate to have that recognition despite not being a very good
actor. Either way, he popped up in the opening of Fringe last night as a guard
who watches the security cameras at Massive Dynamic, sharing a scene with
Walter.

Bob’s Burgers – Sheesh! Cab Bob

Tina’s thirteenth birthday is coming up and the family approaches Bob about making it really special for her. They all take turns listing this they’ve read from her diary that makes them feel that she really needs it. Linda of course only reads her diary to make sure she’s not on drugs, whereas Louise feels that Tina is better on paper. Bob can’t believe that the entire family reads her diary, but agrees to give her a greate birthday. They call her over and ask what she wants to do for her special day, to which she spouts off a coherent and detailed list. As she lists every detail, Bob can’t help to shake his head no to several of her requests. Mainly the one where she kisses Jim Jr. the son of Bob’s rival from across the street.
