Mad Men - Signal 30
Pete is such a child. Of course he needs to take driver’s
ed. He gets a ridiculous crush on a high school girl who fortunately ends up
falling for an attractive schoolmate. That girl dodged a bullet. Ern has never
liked Pete. When Pete wrongs Trudy, Ern gets offended because she is Annie from
Community. Leeard likes him. It’s nice to see some growth in Don, however long
it lasts before he probably relapses. We are still loving Megan unabashedly.
It’s great to see Joan back to work. She is so perfect
and her tact has no end. She always knows what to do, as evidenced by how she
handled being kissed by Lane. Is it possible that Lane/Joan might actually
happen? Lane had the best line of the episode.“You’re a grimy little pimp.”
Wow, did you see Pete’s girly, sideways punches? We think it’s safe to say that
either of us could beat Pete in a fight. How great was it to see Pete get punched in the face after an episode (and possibly series) of him deserving it? We are rooting for another fight on this show. We are also rooting for Ken and his
writing.
Episode grade: B-
The Good Wife - Pants on Fire
Holy moly, this one was eventful. What a bunch of
politicians this show has. It also gave us hope that Cary might come back to
work with Alicia. They are getting along and Cary is unhappy at his current
job. Kalinda did her usual Veronica Mars act and solved the case for Alicia,
but most of the happenings were personal and political. Thankfully, the episode
opened with Alicia confronting Jackie at the beauty parlor. Jackie is so
creepy! She wants to move into the old house with Peter and the kids, replacing
Alicia as the family matriarch. Gross and tacky. Is that stroke real?
It was sad when Eli slept with Vanessa but then had to
stop working on her campaign. We get why he had to do it, but it’s still less
than admirable. We will miss Vanessa. It’s nice seeing Eli’s romantic side. Matthew
Perry’s character, Mike Kresteva, gets slimier every time we see him. He tells
outright lies to make Alicia and Peter look bad, because he is running for
governor and doesn’t want Peter to. Threatening Peter’s family was a low blow,
and we look forward to seeing this guy try to take Peter down through Alicia. We
guess we needed someone truly evil to replace Wendy Scott-Carr. Alicia is
flabbergasted that someone could be such a shameless liar. We can't wait to see Peter run for office with Alicia's support. We’re glad this hiatus
is over.
Episode grade: B+
