February 22nd's Weekly TV Thoughts

Wild Cards (2/12) – I’m glad they aren’t sweeping the rift in their relationship completely under the rug.  I’m sure it will be mostly forgotten by the end of episode 4 if not the start of episode 3.  Overall, a fun episode.  I really do like the dynamic and the characters on the show.

Tracker – I’m glad that case is wrapped up.  Although I guess I should have paid a little more attention.  Was that the guy Colter has been stalking for 11 years?  Why would he suddenly flip?  Overall, not that impressed with this storyline.  As I say, glad it was wrapped up.

Rescue: HI Surf – As someone afraid of heights myself, those early scenes were definitely terrifying.  Yes, it wasn’t a high cliff, but still.  The soap opera is out of control, and I feel for Hina trying to find the balance between family and her new life and responsibilities.  A good storyline for a change.

Night Court – Fun episode.  I really didn’t see either ending coming.  Oh, I did a few seconds before the reveal, but that’s not too far in advance.  Of Roz’s appearances, this was the one I’ve liked the most.  And Wendi Malik is such a great addition to the cast.  Although the bit in the opening was the best part, as it often is.

Deal or No Deal Island – Dr. Will is gone!!  So happy to see him go.  And I don’t get what CK is thinking.  Yes, you do need to watch your own back in a game like this, but you aren’t going to go far if you alienate everyone else.  No one is going to be willing to work with her now, and everyone is going to want her gone.  (Yes, those are two different things.)  It will be interesting to see how much longer she lasts.

Wild Cards – I knew it wouldn’t be aliens, but I sure was confused as to what was going on.  I loved how everything came together at the end.  Excellent writing.  I kind of knew where the subplot was going, but it was nice to see the two of them have anything to do this week.

The Challenge – I hope the teams left listen to TJ.  Seriously, how many times do they have to send the same team in and see them take out another team?  Especially when they put weak teams in there?  Let’s shake things up, already!  While I would not have enjoyed the challenge on the truck, I would really love to try the bucket challenge sometime.  Looked like it could be fun.

Happy’s Place – As a huge fan of Reba, it was so great to see Christopher Rich popping unto the show.  I’d already heard the first line the references the other sitcom, and I still laughed so hard at it.  But I’m a sucker for anything like that.  I loved the sub-plot with the guys as well.  Such a great final scene.
