More secrets. Let’s find out who’s keeping secrets and who’s running their mouth (when they really, really shouldn’t be).

We finally meet Rose Kemper, the woman who’s house Orson broke into the night Edie died. Turns out, she thinks it was “Death” coming for her (and apparently he steals knick-knacks).

Another two weeks since the last episode of The Unit. What else is new? Bob’s in Rome, trying to ferret out some terrorists, while Bridget is trying to work the opposite angle in the Philippines. With only like two episodes left in the season, one only hopes these are the terrorists we’ve been looking for over the last twenty.

Where were you when JFK was shot? That seems to be the question of the hour, although I can’t quite figure out what the Kennedy assassination has to do with the death of a pool hustler, other than to get the older cast members to reminisce. In addition to these seemingly incongruous events, we’ve got some fireworks erupting with Lilly and her dad. So, everyone, grab your drinks, call your shots, and let’s get started.

Criminal Minds - Recap and Review - A Shade of Gray

Criminal Minds
A Shade of Gray

JD - Associate Staff Writer
JD@thetwocentscorp.com

The first thing I thought when this week's episode ended was how much I'm going to miss Deb Fisher next season. A Shade of Gray kept me hooked for the full hour as the BAU investigates a series of child abductions and murders. I have to admit, I thought the beginning bordered on giving away too much--though I'll readily admit it's probably because I've watched the show way too much (impossible!) and noticed body language most people who aren't as in love with the show (read: obsessive) might miss--but then it swept me away from my conclusions so fast that I totally forgot until the show brought me back to them. Good job, show. Good job.

“Vs”

Original Air Date: Apr 24, 2009

Tom R. - Sr. Staff Writer
tom@thetwocents.com

I guess it’s never too late for this show to introduce the question, ”Who is this guy?” The ironic title works on a couple levels, as in Linc vs Michael vs Christina vs Krantz, with Bagwell in there just about everywhere. But in reality, it’s the initials VS, for Dartmouth professor Vincent Sandinsky. His last reaction, which closes the episode, shows that whatever he’s hiding, it’s big.

This week, Gordon starts by cooking three dishes and makes the remaining chefs choose their favorite. Then, he gives them thirty minutes to recreate the dish, without being told the ingredients. There’s always a catch whenever you taste a dish Gordon makes. Sneaky Ben tries to hide the correct liquor and Andrea looks at what everyone else is doing. It comes down to Danny and Paula and Gordon has a hard time choosing the winner.

Jeremy Kent is innocent. That’s how he tells it, anyway. He goes before a court to say that nearly twenty years before he was convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, almost entirely because of the testimony of his cellmate who was instructed to do so by their mutual lawyer. The court agrees that he never got a fair trial, and therefore they’re giving him his chance now.

So we're falling into a little pattern here, each new episode beginning with a snippet of life in Leslie Knope's little corner of Pawnee. Today Leslie is on a nature hike, a city-run pre-teen program, which used to be a teen program until one of the teenage girls got pregnant. Well, you know what they say about there not being much to do in small towns...

Leslie, true to form, does something almost anyone with three brain cells wouldn't, and chows down on a plant she's unfamiliar with, which turns out to be bitter and causes her tongue to swell. Thus endeth the hike.

It is great to be back! Thanks to Kara for covering while I was gone. And what an episode to come back on. Jump the Shark. It is when a TV show does something ridiculous to boost ratings. For Supernatural, it was a way to make fun of that concept, and what a way they did it.

Richard says: “He gets paid (for his job) real good money and his daughter is taken care of. Henry then goes skeet shooting with Daddy Wellington and has a chance to beat Daddy W but ends up losing.

Tonight’s episode kicked off with Jack shopping for Elisa’s engagement ring with Liz in tow. Upon hearing her speak, the salesman expresses his sympathy to Jack. Back at TGS, Tracy’s current dilemma is what to get his wife for an anniversary present, and the choices are: a denim jacket with “Hot Bitch” on the back in rhinestones, or an off-brand Snuggie. I’d pick the jacket, since I don’t want a special-needs blanket. Just saying.

In a classic opening sequence, Michael has a van which he uses to make 5AM deliveries of paper. He picks up Ryan (put keeps moving the car forward a bit so he can’t get in) and Pam (who Jim walks to the door in his boxers). Meanwhile, Michael honks the van and yells out “time to make the donuts” and the way he says it is hilarious and the fact that it’s 5AM and Michael doesn’t care that he is screaming and honking! Ok, folks, off the The Office!
