Weekend Update: Clois Love, Barney's Playbook, Good Medicine, Original Heroes Are Back, Glee Crush, Office Mayhem, A 90210 Goodbye

Caught up on a lot of TV this weekend and just wanted to jot down a few thoughts about what I watched.

Smallville: Yes, the highly anticipated Pandora ep did not disappoint. I'm glad we finally got to see what exactly Lois saw a year into the future. It was disturbing and I hope our lovely group of superheroes does everything they can to stop it. Although a half-naked Clark is always a good thing on this show, I have to say that my favorite scene was at the end when Clark and Lois decided they were an official couple. The last shot of them in the elevator when she grabbed his hand was probably my favorite shot of the evening. I'm not gonna lie--I got all warm and giddy on the inside.



BTW...I can't believe I have to wait two whole months for a new ep. Ugh!

HIMYM: I loved this week's episode. I am a sucker for all things Barney. An episode centered around his playbook was genius. I can't remember all the of them, but it was awesome that one was called the Ted Mosby. You just knew there had to be one. Barney Stinson is definitely one of the best characters on TV today.



Trauma: This is my new ER if it lasts beyond its 13 or so eps. I really like the characters and am interested in seeing how they're developed. I hope NBC gives them a chance. It's highly dramatic but there's just something about it that grabs me. I can't quite put my finger on it. Although I suspect it's the complicated characters.

Mercy: I thought I'd given up on this show, but I kinda liked this week's episode. It renewed my interest in it. I kinda like that the Iraq doc is going out with the foreign doc. They're cute. The New Jersey Housewives making a guest appearance didn't annoy me as much as I thought it would. It was somewhat comical. I think I'll keep it on the Tivo list.



Heroes: I think I'm starting to get back into this show. This week the ep focused more on the original characters and I got all excited. Seeing Mohinder again made my week. I missed him. Now that I'm starting to understand what's going on with Samuel, this whole Carnival thing seems more interesting. I actually want to know what's going to happen next.

Glee: The "Endless Love" duet with Mr. S and Rachel was awesome! I really like the whole student crushing on teacher storyline. I mean what girl hasn't had a crush on a teacher at some point? His mash-up was great. Where can I get a copy?



I was also happy to see Hannah from Everwood (Sarah Drew) as a guest star. I hope they bring her back. The scene where Quinn's dad kicked her out was completely heartbreaking. I could totally feel her anguish--great job! I know I should be pissed at her for lying to Finn, but a part of me feels for her. That's what I like about this show--as irritating as the characters can be, I can't help feeling something for them.

The Office: I really don't know why corporate thinks inviting Michael to anything is a good idea. You'd think they'd learned their lesson after all these years. I think my favorite thing about this ep was how they added Oscar into the Michael-Dwight-Andy mix. It made for an interesting dynamic since Oscar is always snubbing his nose at them. BTW...his southern accent in the Murder ep had me in fits of laughter. Actually that whole ep was hilarious. I love it when they do silly eps like that one.



90210: I have to admit, Jackie Taylor dying broke my heart. When Kelly thought she died without saying goodbye and had a breakdown in the hallway--wow, I thought I was going to lose it. Jackie was a huge part of both Kelly's and Silver's dysfunction, but in the end she was able to make amends before dying with her daughters by her side. Yes, I shed a tear when Jackie Taylor died.



TV DVD Extra: I just finished season three of BSG and I can't wait to get to season four. I was totally shocked when they revealed the four cylons. Crazy! And the whole Starbuck thing? OMG...so cannot wait until I get the next disc.

The Office: Making Amends

Dwight and Jim are too funny together. This scene had me cracking up. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to point, Dwight? They're like an old married couple in this scene. Loved it!

Michael is such a goofball. It's like you've never seen a Dunder Mifflin office, man! You work in one every day! But I can't help but love you, you crazy little man.

We knew this was coming because of the previews, but, be honest, how many of you panicked when you saw this on your screens the first time?

Classic inappropriate Michael. Nice effort, Pam, but you know he can't be stopped when he gets started. Is it Jim's? You're huge! Just trying to figure out the last time you and Jim had sex. LMAO! You so crazy!

OMG, Dwight. Those look like dung balls hanging from the ceiling. Kelly will not be pleased. But nice try with the color coordinating. Very Martha Stewart of you. Who knew you had it in you? Well...sort of.

I want to print this out and hang it up in the office when it's someone's birthday. So awesome! Dwight really knows how to state the obvious.

I love the bite-sized Mounds bars being thrown at them. Look at them duck. Could not stop laughing. I had to play it over and over. I don't know how they can film these scenes, hell, the whole ep without laughing constantly. Kudos to the actors!

Are you out of your damned mind?! Oh how I love you Stanley. You are by far the best character in the office. Can't help but laugh every time you open your mouth. You're also very sly. Nice trading your one client for Andy's two. Very nice.

Nice to see Michael destroying a very touching moment. Glad to see both women apparently have closure. Although, is it just me, or did Karen hesitate a little when Pam said she was engaged to Jim? Hmmmmmm...

Creed and his Dubya $3 bill. Don't think Jim can buy Kelly anything with that thing. Nice try, buddy.

I loved this ep simply because it reminds me of every office birthday I've celebrated. Getting the cake, decorating, collecting money...oh the memories. How awesome is it that Dwight and Jim are now the party planners? That will provide endless hours of entertainment. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Can't wait to see next week's contination. If it's anything like this ep, I'm sure I'll be rolling on the ground laughing.
