Wednesday Prisoners, Cops, and Country Singers

4 October 2013 by Jess

I seem to be a day behind this week, but I’ve already got Thursday’s post done, so there!

Back in the Game

This is one of the few comedies that was able to hold steady on the laugh-o-meter from week one to week two. Terry is one of those kick-butt female characters that makes me wanna say “girl power!” – something I haven’t said since about 1999 when the Spice Girls were still popular. She is so hardcore, so tough, when it comes to her dad, her job, and especially that jerk little league manager, that it really makes you wanna stand up and cheer.

Terry decides to get a job, and after a few rejections, she decides that if car sales is the only experience she has, she may as well run with it. She signs up with a sleazy car dealership, and after remembering what a ruthless business it is and why she quit in the first place, she quits again.

Meanwhile, the Cannon takes the team on a field trip to learn how to stay inside the batter’s box because every one of those kids is afraid of getting hit by the ball. He takes the kids to a local prison where Bob Kelso, excuse me, Ken Jenkins (from Scrubs) is a coach who teaches prisoners how to play ball.

The kids learn to face their fears, and while they still can’t hit, at least they can stay in the box!

The Cannon makes a ruling: Terry shouldn’t have to settle for some shitty job just so she can move out. She and Danny can stay as long as they need to. But Terry, independent woman that she is, at least wants to work, even if they do stay with the Cannon a while longer.

The Bridge-Finale

This isn’t a recap: Since I missed last week’s episode because I thought the damn season was over, I’m going to watch that episode, and then rewatch the finale. So, I’ll recap this show later once I can do that so I have the full effect.

Ironside

Yeah, the critics got one thing right, Blair Underwood is straight up gangsta as Detective Ironside. It’s a pretty heavy show. Some flashbacks to what life was like for Ironside before he lost the use of his legs, and plenty of badass handi-capable moments with him still as the baddest mofo in the room, chair or no chair.

The story in the pilot is a bad banking deal and a possible murder whodunnit. The catch is, Ironside already knows part of the outcome–that the murder was actually a suicide–when he starts working the case. He works it anyway to find out what led to the suicide and to try to bring some of the guilty parties to justice, murder or not.

Bravo for an idea like that. Too many cop shows take the story from the other way around. They have something that looks like a suicide and try to turn it into a murder. Most of the time they’re right, for the sake of the story. This was a pleasant twist on a common plot device.

Having said all that, I don’t know if I’m going to tune in regularly. I’m not on board with all the characters, and I’m not really looking for another heavy cop drama. Country music and all, I think I’d rather stick with Nashville. This isn’t to say it’s a bad show. If you love cop dramas, you love Blair Underwood, by all means, tune in. It’s a good show, it’s just not my speed right now.

Nashville

Rayna’s awake, her memory’s intact, and she gets to come home. All’s well that end’s well, right?

Teddy moves back in to help out, and while Rayna appreciates his help, she knows they can’t keep it up forever. They’re still in the middle of a divorce, and as nice as it may be to spend together as a family again, it’s not the new reality. It’s nice to see Teddy be a good guy again, but Rayna’s right–they can’t keep playing house.

Deacon is still on a tear, pissed off about his hand and Rayna and losing his sobriety, but Scarlett put him in his place. Maybe he can’t do anything about the fact that he’s been a father for all these years and didn’t know it, but he still has a chance to save his hand and some of its function, so he should try.

Rayna and Juliette meet the new label head and the guy’s kind of a prick. He’s a little cold to Juliette, saying her new direction isn’t selling with her fans, and then sweet as sugar to Rayna. But, seeing as Will doesn’t have a contract with Rayna’s label just yet, he turns around and tries to poach him to the main label. But, Rayna James won’t stand for being undermined. She’ll cut ties if she has to, and from the last scene, it looks like she might do just that.

Gunnar finally gets over his writer’s block and puts together a really great song about his brother.

Last note: I really love the relationship between Avery and Juliette. It’s great that they’re just friends, and I think he really might be good for her, keep her on a level heading. As an added complication, Juliette’s got competition for her younger fan demographic with a new singer who came in second in a reality show singing competition. She’s pretty, and she can sing, but doesn’t have the gravitas that Juliette has in my opinion…

Up next:

Air night Thursday recaps are coming right up! The Millers, The Crazy Ones, The Michael J. Fox Show, and Elementary! Recaps from shows I skipped will come in sometime over the weekend.

BONUS: Here’s the clip of Gunnar’s song. Enjoy!

It affects chemicals in the body that are involved in the cause of some types of hurt. There are many medicines which give you things you need to be ready on your own terms. What doctors talk about viagra or cialis? It contains Sildenafil. Also known as erectile malfunction is defined as the impossibility to attain an erection suitable for intercourse. Having erectile disfunction can no doubt complicate dating. Many men take more medicines later in life and some have sexual side effects that will lead to impotency. Some of medications fuel desire. Certain far-famed medicaments can mean screwing with your orgasm. What is the most significant facts you perhaps know know about this?

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
