Happy Endings - The St. Valentine’s Day Maxssacre
This was probably Alex’s finest episode. She was
hilarious getting mistaken for a stripper, staying optimistic about love, and reciting
all those historical facts about Saint Valentine’s grisly death. They ripped
him tip to taint. We weren’t into Dave’s story, especially when it capped off
with him missing a threesome. We are getting sick of the whole threesome trope.
We did like his middle school email address. threesomechaser@pulaskimiddleschool.org.
Very funny. Brad went to the dentist and got a little too much happy juice. He
spent Valentine’s night high, drooling, covered in chocolate, and full of
really amusing things to say. He also compared the gang to their respective
Friends characters. Comical. Penny gets dumped by a guy she wanted to dump, but
she felt like it would be kind to not dump him in the “break-up window.” That’s
when a holiday or big personal event crops up and it would be cruel to dump
someone. Max finds his ex, Grant, and the two share a kiss. Grant is played by
the lead of that really good cancelled show, Lone Star. This episode had so many
laughs that we are glad we’re not doing a full recap of it. We’re running out
of synonyms for “funny.” It was so droll, you guys.
Episode grade: A
Ringer - What Are You Doing Here, Ho-Bag?
We officially do not care about this show anymore or anyone
in it. It moves at a glacial pace. The reveals are not shocking. We don’t care
about the characters. The episode titles are immature and try too hard to be
clever at the same time. The show doesn’t know if its audience is composed of
stupid adults or of teenagers who enjoy watching mostly adults. The episodes
are too long. We have six other shows that we watch on Tuesday nights. Its
situations are implausible and character motivations are unclear. The show is
not entertaining to us. For a while, it seemed to get better, but the long
break took its toll on our ability to remember this show was even on. The two
episodes, including this one, after the hiatus have only served to bore us to
tears. We have much better things to watch and not a whole lot of time,
especially since we started posting more and doing longer reviews. We may tune
in for the finale, just to see the conclusion of this mess. Better luck next
time, SMG and The CW.
Episode grade: F because it was the straw that broke the
camel’s back.
The Office - Special Project
The single best scene of this episode was when Dwight was
in the conference room, teaching his new team about Florida. It had great small
jokes, especially if you are familiar with Florida. We are. Yes, there are too
many mosquitoes. This episode was just ok, but it set up some things that will
likely pay off later in the season. Like Kathy being after Jim, sexually. What
a whooooooore. We know Jim won’t cheat on Pam, but it will be fun to watch
Kathy try to get him, only to fail and then get fired. Also, it
will be fun to see Dwight and his team in Florida. Lots of people think Dwight
plots are weak, but we can’t get enough Dwight. On The Office anyway. We are
still unsure about the Dwight spinoff they are considering.
Episode grade: B-
