How I Met Your Mother
The pre-wedding jitters are still there, but Barney and Robin (aka B-nasty and R-train) are keeping it together admirably.
Ted’s still got some jitters of his own, leaving New York, and watching his bro marry the woman he still thinks he’s in love with. And Lily’s still there with all her life lessons for Ted.
Marshall is still on his way by car, but it’s still uncertain whether he’ll get there in time.
The old people bit was really funny. I got kind of lost with the Princess Bride swordfight bit (I was a little preoccupied with my #whedony buds discussing Agents of SHIELD), but who doesn’t love a good Inigo Montoya reference?
No update on the Ted=wildcard thing yet, and the Mother was MIA in this episode.
We Are Men
I love this show. It’s definitely more of a boys’ show, but not a misogynistic one. These guys have all been burned. Carter (the unknown actor of the four main characters) just got left at the alter, Frank (Tony Shalhoub) is divorced four times and still got game, Gil (Kal Penn) cheated on his wife and is “giving her space”, hoping she’ll forgive him, but it’s been over a year, and Stuart (Jerry O’Connell) is a super-sexy OB/GYN who is going through an ugly divorce in which his first wife is defending his second wife in the proceedings.
It’s charming, funny, and totally entertaining. They may be living it up a little now that they’re single, but they’ve got goals and dreams just like anybody. It’s not laugh-a-minute, but it doesn’t need to be. It reminds me a little of Happy Endings, some dysfunction, some laughs, and a group of guys who have each others’ backs.
God, I hope this doesn’t get canceled. I’m gonna lose my shit. Say it with me: Jerry O’Connell… in a Speedo.
2 Broke Girls
When her good, expensive pants rip beyond repair, Caroline is on the Kickstarter train so she can get cash for a new “quality” pair.
This involves Max getting a fancier new phone to shoot the Kickstarter video, and everybody texting and IM’ing behind Han’s, and Caroline’s, backs.
Max accidentally lets her meanness out and says she’s sick of Caroline, who admittedly is getting a little obnoxious about her new pants, and really hurts Caroline’s feelings. So, to make up for it, Max takes the hit, literally, when one of the Kickstarter backers shows up to get her reward, slapping the Kickstarter fundee in the face.
I felt like things fell off a little during last season story-wise, but I think the new cupcake window is a good plot direction.
Mom
Sorry CBS, this show is just not doing it for me. The daughter is pregnant, and everyone’s dealing with that in their own way. Some of the jokes really do land – most of them are Allison Janney’s – and while I do love the actors, I’m not hooked. I don’t care enough about what happens to these people to keep watching. And no matter how many jokes they make about Christy’s past, I still don’t buy her as a recovering alcoholic.
Hostages
First off, I KNEW I recognized one of those hostage takers! It’s Walsh from Entourage!! (AKA Rhys Coiro) Anyway, this episode, the stakes are higher, and the hostage-takers show they’re not screwing around.
Ellen is under scrutiny from the Secret Service after the accidental dose of blood thinners caused the President’s surgery to be delayed. She has to beat a lie detector test, and does, but the investigation seems to be focusing in on her surgical nurse, who was in charge of administering the meds. Carlisle convinces her to talk to her surgical nurse and make her confess to the switch to put an end to the investigation.
When she isn’t able to do so, Carlisle and his colleagues take matters into their own hands and construct a suicide for the surgical nurse, feeling overwhelmed and guilty over her “mistake”. Ellen loses it, but Carlisle explains that actions have consequences, and her friend’s death is on her own hands for causing the problem in the first place.
I have to admit, this episode was a little more entertaining and edgier than the pilot. Since I doubt The Blacklist is going to step it up this week, I may continue with Hostages for another week or two, just to see if they can really pull me in.
I’m still not crazy about the Sanders family–they haven’t proven to be very sympathetic as of yet in my opinion–and so, I’m still rooting for the hostage-takers, but mostly because I want to know their motivations, or rather what Carlisle’s motivation is for setting this thing in motion.
Up Next:
Tuesday night has a full three-hour block with Agents of SHIELD, New Girl, Trophy Wife, and Chicago Fire. I’ll catch up with Brooklyn Nine-Nine later on in the week if Fox hasn’t screwed me on the Hulu distribution!
