Dexter, The Walking Dead, Homeland, and The Good Wife

Since there was no Once Upon a Time or Revenge this week, we decided to do all the Sunday shows today, instead of leaving Homeland and The Good Wife for tomorrow.

Dexter- Argentina 
UGHHHHH. Show, you could have just dropped the Deb/Dexter love, but you had to address it. At this point, there is no way that Dexter is just going to ignore it forever. There will come an episode, just you wait, where he returns her love, and then we will burst into red-hot flames, there will be no blog, and you guys will throw your TVs out the window in a depression. This was the best possible time for Deb to confess her love, if that was going to happen. It wasn't a groan-inducing, sweet, or faux-romantic scene. It was an angry breakdown. Other than that cropping up again, this was a great episode. We loved seeing Astor and Cody again. LaGuerta closes in on the BBB (Dexter), and even sees that the name of Dexter's boat is "Slice of Life." What is she going to do now?!! Isaak confirmed that he was gay with Viktor- something everyone had already guessed, and the Koshka hates him now. That was a good scene.
Episode grade: B

Homeland- I'll Fly Away
We hate cliffhanger endings. Is Brody going to be re-turned into a terrorist? Because that would be good. We like when he's a terrorist. It's interesting. The Brody/Carrie stuff is getting a little stupid. We don't like when they have sex anymore. It was good in the first season, but now we're over it as a love story and as a spy tactic. It's just getting nasty and making us like Jessica more and more. The Dana drama has been dealt with. The daughter was paid off, Dana got to admit her act to that daughter, and Jessica knows everything. Jessica was really cool in this episode, mom-wise. She knows that Brody lied to her about working with Carrie. It's almost the end of the season. We love this show, but stop with Carrie being pathetically in love with Brody, please. It makes us hate her.
Episode grade: B-

The Walking Dead- Hounded
What? The phone was a phone to heaven. What? That's so unsatisfying. That suck so much! Also, this isn't Supernatural, it's The Walking Dead. Is phone calls from dead people even a part of the mythology? Was this in the comic books? Was Rick just having auditory hallucinations? This week is making us hate all of our Sunday shows a little. We hate when dumb stuff just pops up and mars a show with writers that usually have taste. Andrea and the Governor did what they've been about to do for weeks: Boned. Nasty. The worst things happen to Andrea. He's only awful if you know he's awful though. Otherwise, he's pretty cute and charming. We're glad Michonne is with the main crew. She can tell them what happened to Glen and Maggie. At least she brought the formula too.
Episode grade: B-

The Good Wife- Here Comes the Judge
We felt so bad for that judge. The guy playing him was really good. At first, we thought he was a liar, but he turned out to just be a sad, old drinker. Too bad the firm still isn't out of bankruptcy though. The judge dropping the "Actus Reas" hint got him the result he wanted, even if he was dragged through the mud. It's not time for Nathan Lane's trustee to leave anyway. He hasn't yet tried to exact vengeance for last week. We love Amanda Peet on this show and really root for her. We hope she stays or at least pops up once in a while. We need a new state attorney we know, like when Cary opposed the firm. It makes things more interesting when you know both parties. Poor Cary. Maybe Kalinda will comfort him? We like them together. Someone needs to take down Nick. Hopefully it's Alicia. We love Grace's new guy. It's about time she got a good story arc.
Episode grade: B+

  1. Heh. I knew Deb was going to mention that mostly because of the recap at the beggining. It wasn't that bad, though...

    I agree about that phone call on TWD. I was like "Oh...they can communicate?" "Boooo..fake fake fake"

    It's unrealistic to see Abu Nazir...but I kinda liked it. It was unexpected and Brody even had the expression of "How the??!?!" It also made me feel sorry for Brody even more than I did before... being dragged here and there...not living a peaceful life...might as well kill himself. I also love how everyone seems to always ignore Carrie..as crazy as she is, she seems to always have a way to find out something or be right about something..."This woman does not seem like a person we should listen to. She's insane!" "Oh damn...we should have listened to her" When Carrie is mostly looking all insane, she is pretty much on the right track...but no one listens to her. (Something about her crazyness says that her crazyness drives her to go beyond the crazy...but damn it...its so amazing how right she can be because of her crazyness) haha

    1. When I was a kid, I used to do things that I thought were right when people said "No"..i was like "Damn it..I should have done what I should have done and not listen to you guys" haha "LISTEN TO ME DAMN IT" (relating to Homeland/Carrie)

  2. Sorry guys, but the phone call in TWD is straight out of the comics just after Lori is killed.

    1. Thanks! We were wondering if it was. That makes us more okay with it...but it's still a little weird to drop Supernatural stuff in a previously zombie-only show. Can you tell us if it's developed further or explained? Does it come up again, or is it just randomly in that part?

  3. I'm happy to say that its only a one off, its reflecting Rick's mental state after Lori's death. Also in the comic when Lori is shot in the chest, she is holding the baby and the bullet goes straight through Lori and kills the baby. So Rick is in complete meltdown, and Carl has to take control.

    It is a bit Supernatural, maybe Merle is a demon, explains how he survived the blood loss from his hand. hee hee

    1. Crazy Rick meltdown we can understand. Until it's more blatantly supernatural, that's how I'm gonna take it. So glad they didn't kill the baby too. That would have been too depressing.

    2. Baby killing should not be something done on TV or movies...like ever...

      Delete
    3. Yes. You can't kill animals either. Just women. Haha.

      Have you seen Seven Psychopaths yet? That's where I got that. It's really good.

    4. Seven Psychopaths was awesome.
