New Girl
Jess and Nick try to go on a regular date, while Winston and Schmidt try to sabotage it, and end up sabotaging themselves. Jess runs into Russell (Dermot Mulroney) while they’re out, and she and Nick go back and forth (literally and figuratively) on what they really want their relationship to be.
On the one hand, I love them together! They’re so funny and they really suit each other in a lot of ways. On the other, turning two of the main characters into a romantic couple might be a bad thing for the show. They have to draw it out like the Ross and Rachel thing or else the rest of us will probably stop caring after a while. I’m cool with that. As long as the show stays funny, I’m cool with just about anything. (Hint: Bring back Steve Howey!!!)
Since when does a radio station need a mascot?
Pretty funny, but still, really?
Go On
Ryan gets a drunk dial from who he thinks is Lauren, but when he confronts her, he finds out it was some other “mystery woman”. However, Lauren reveals she doesn’t really want to marry Wyatt–saw that coming–and she and Ryan spend the whole episode trying to help other with their prospective relationships.
Ryan finds out that it was Carrie who drunk dialed him and freaks out a little, so much so that he puts on the new radio station mascot uniform, the call letters are K-BAL–so the mascot is a basketball–to avoid her.
Lauren’s bachelorette party–clearly the wedding is still on at this point…
It works for a while, but both he and Lauren realize they have to confront Wyatt and Carrie and tell them how they really feel.
Ryan [in the basketball mascot uniform]: Fausta, de-hat me.
This one was freaking hilarious, mostly because of the basketball. I like the Carrie/Ryan thing, but she kissed him, quit as his assistant, and left the ball “in his court”. No way is he ready for a real relationship with her, and I’m still waiting on the Ryan/Lauren thing to happen, especially now that she’s not getting married anymore, but it was pretty cool to see him and Lauren talk and connect as just friends in this episode. Very relatable.
Nothing like Anthony Hopkins except for the creep factor.
Hannibal
WOW! This is one of the few network shows I’ve seen that put a warning for mature viewers at the start. With good reason. It’s pretty gory right from the first minute.
If you saw the other Silence of the Lambs movies (Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon), you know the basic premise of the show, which features Hannibal Lector, and Will Graham, the FBI “special investigator”, who works alongside Lector profiling psychopaths until Will realizes Lector is one of them.
This show is not for anyone with a weak stomach. It is extremely bloody, extremely gutsy (in the literal sense), and really graphic and violent. It’s still network, so they can’t get as graphic as say, FX might with a show like this, but it’s definitely the most graphic show I’ve ever seen on network.
There are quite a few special effects relating to Will’s “ability” to deconstruct a crime scene and empathize with the killer’s motives and get inside his head. It’s a little strange, but if you just go with it, it makes sense and adds to the visceral suspense of the show.
I knew Laurence Fishburne was going to be in the show, but I didn’t know he was a regular! Who ever thought Morpheus would be on network TV? I sure didn’t. He plays another FBI guy, sort of in charge of pulling Graham in on cases when he needs his profiling help.
Morpheus lives. 😀
Because Will is so good at what he does, even if it really tears him apart to do it, I was a little confused when Lector was called in to assist. I guess someone a little more detached from the cases would be helpful, but it doesn’t seem like he’s added that much to the investigation. He seems more interested in diagnosing Will than in finding a murderer–probably because he’s the murderer they’re after!
Anyway, it was a pretty intense pilot, but I will definitely be watching this one. Granted, Hugh Dancy is no Edward Norton, but he’s pretty damn good. The show is scary, not in an AHS way, but in that you really feel how intensely Will feels everything, and that’s scary to see murder from that point of view.
Men at Work
SO many good quotes in this one! I thought I’d share a few:
Gibbs: It’s like lying in a baseball glove!
Neal: Dad said I was conceived back here.
Gibbs: Shotgun.
Tyler: Everybody’s looking for somebody else until they settle for the person they’re with!
Milo: You’re an asshole.
Tyler: You’re a catch!
It’s a little cheesy at times, and extremely predictable, but this show makes me laugh. If it can succeed in that, it’s work is done. Period. I’m not looking for anything deeper from these guys. They’re hilarious, so I’m happy. Check it out if you haven’t already–it’s on TBS, so there are probably a few stray encores running throughout the week!
This episode was mainly Milo and Tyler trying to attract the “perfect” girl through the “missed connections” ads. They wind up finding a pretty great one, but Milo has to help her find her real missed connection before she realizes she likes him better. Tyler gets jacked up on coffee and offers some pretty bad advice, but as always, hilarious.
Neal and Gibbs go out to Neal’s family’s house in the Hamptons for a party and Gibbs helps Neal stand up to his father–it ends up in a stolen Cadillac and a drunken afternoon on the beach, but at least Neal has more confidence to show for it.
Up Next:
I’m so excited to be back posting again and attempting to keep up with all my shows. The regular season is coming to an end soon for most of the shows, so we should have some good finales/cliffhangers to look forward to in the coming weeks.
Friday night, there are two new episodes of Happy Endings, and then a new Cult is also on. I’ll also be watching Bill Maher, but since that’s a talk show, not a fictional series, I don’t recap it here. Happy Friday, everyone!
