The Rookie Baja
I am no fan of the Lucy undercover episodes. She’s just too soft a character to be able to
lie and be tough. In this episode they
have her paired in an operation with Harper, who spent a long time undercover
and who can do anything.
Not a good comparison.
Will Trent Call Paul
Another serial killer episode. I really disliked Will finding himself in the
mind of the killer and enjoying the kills.
Best Medicine There Might Be Blood
Port Wenn, festival capital of the world, hosts their annual
Blood Factory event. This town is
crazy. There’s an annual event wherein
they celebrate an awful sounding horror novel written by a local author. There are re-enactments of scenes from the
book, and problematically for Doc Best, there are copious amounts of fake
blood. He thinks his blood phobia will
not kick in because he knows it’s not real, but his body reacts as if it is.
The Pitt 1pm
As always, there are many little moments that add up to my
being surprised each week when the screen goes to black for the credits.
Langdon tries to apologize to Robbie, and Robbie says I want
you out of my ER. This destroys Langdon’s
confidence for the rest of the hour.
Dr Al-Hashimi continues to act as if she’s in charge
already, though she has another moment where she gets a one thousand yard
stare, and then calls for an urgent appointment with a neurologist or a
shrink? It’s not clear, but something is
very off.
Santos continues to ignore a deaf patient who has been
waiting to be examined for hours, even though an in person interpreter has been
found and is on site. She just hasn’t
the patience to deal with not being able to ask the patient her questions
directly for some reason. This is making
me so angry. Any other staff member
would have found a way to help this woman.
The best thing about the episode is Dr Abbott charging into
the ER in full SWAT gear, a volunteer position he’s taken. He’s a wild but competent doctor, and I’m
hoping he is the one to take over when Robbie goes on sabbatical.
We find out why the other hospital has shut down services.
Starfleet Academy Ko’Zeine
A lackluster episode wherein there’s a holiday and all
cadets are expected to leave the facility for a four day vacation. Caleb of course won’t go, and to his
surprise, Genesis ditches her family vacation time to try to get into her
academy files. The ever unlikeable Darem
is kidnapped by his betrothed since childhood bride, and Jay-Den follows him
through a portal, thinking he needs a rescue.
Night Agent
In Istanbul, Peter works to find and bring to safety Jay
Batra, a numbers guy who uncovered corruption in his organization and who is coveted
by The Information Broker from last season.
I’ve only watched the first three episodes, but it’s great and so
intense!
Doc and High Potential were not on this week and return
March 3rd.
The Rockford Files Reboot
In exciting news, Davide Boreanz will be starring in a
re-boot of The Rockford Files. Mom
watched the show and I didn’t, but my love of James Garner goes back to the
original Maverick TV series. Can’t see Boreanz
as Garner but I’m willing to give it a try.
New Pilot for Emily Deschanel
I watched all 12 seasons of Bones last year for the first
time, then immediately re-watched season one.
I didn’t write about it, but it is one of my favorite shows ever. I miss it terribly! Now, Emily Deschanel, who played Temperance
Brennan so brilliantly (alongside David Boreanz’s Seeley Booth) will be starring in an untitled pilot that sounds
perfect:
