Catching Up...

I have been watching a lot of TV but have not been writing much recently.  I will attempt tonight to write more about the shows:

NIKITA 206 (343 Walnut Lane) - Birkoff finds Nikita's birth certificate on the black box. She and Michael head to the address and find a man there just as Division shows up to take him. They bring him back to Birkoff's house, and she begins to bond with him. Amanda asks Alex to help her with a problem, and she needs Percy's help to accomplish this. He gives her information, which she passes on to Nikita. Nikita finds out that the man who she believes is her father is a plant of Percy's that has been inactive for seven years. She kills him, and Birkoff is forced to blow up his own house when Division closes in.  207 (Clawback) - Ryan discovers that Oversight is using Division to perform acts of violence to affect the stock market. He does this by seeing news reports and magazine articles from prison. The money man from Oversight, wants to know how he figured it out, and goes to see him. He is the former he'd of the SEC who now is a corporate raider. Ryan is able to get the name to Nikita, and she hunts down the money man when she believes that Ryan has been killed in prison. We find out that Nathan is the son of a Senator who sits on Oversight, which is the name of the person that Midas calls out as he is killed. Alex finds out that Semak knows she is alive, and has put a hit out on her. Michael goes to see his son. Ryan's death has been faked, and Amanda has him at Division, and wants him make his predictions and analysis for her. This show is getting better, and has lots of intrigue and action. I think the only thing that has saved it though, is that it is on the CW. If it were one of the big three it would have already been cancelled.

THE BIG BANG THEORY 506 (The Rhinitis Reaction). I enjoyed this episode. Sheldon's Mom, played by Laurie Metcalf, returns. She wants to go out and see the sights, and he wants her to do what he wants her to do. He wants her to cook for him, and attend a lecture. Leonard and the other's side with her, and Sheldon is pissed. He sits out in the rain and cold, and when he returns his Mom takes care of him. She does however say that she wants him to go back to Houston to get a second opinion about him being crazy.  507 (The Good Guy Fluctuation) - Leonard meets a girl named Alice at the comic book store. She is played by Courtney Ford, who was on the last season of TRUE BLOOD. They schedule a date to go out, but he is hesitant as he does not want to hurt Priya. He goes to Alices house, but as things get hot and heavy, he tells her he has a girlfriend that he does not want to hurt. When he gets home, he has an ichat with Priya and tells her what happens. She then admits to him that she slept with her ex, and he gets made and shuts off the chat.  508 (The Isolation Permutation) - More wedding prep in this episode. Amy is upset when she is elf tout of looking for bridesmaid's dresses. She begins to breakdown. Sheldon goes to her house when he can not get a hold of her. She wants him to sleep with her to make her feel better. After negotiations, they cuddle. Sheldon gets pissed at Howard and Leonard, and tells them to get control of there women. To make up for leaving her out, Bernadette decides to have Amy be the maid of honor instead of Penny. Good episode, but the weakest of the season so far.

CSI 1205 (CSI, Down) - I thought that this was a good episode. Eckly's daughter, Riley takes a spot on a rescue helicopter instead of Greg. The victim that they have picked up ends up hijacking the helicopter and shooting one of the EMT's. It is really a building episode for her character, and the strained relationship between her and her father, who is also her father.  1206 (Freaks and Geeks) - The murder in this episode takes place at a freak show at the circus. The victim is found with needle's stuck through her arms, and at first they think it is some kind of BDSM ritual. They come to find out that she is the "Human Candleabra" and the needles hold up the candles. There is also a love story with an "Elaphant Man" and the victim. Good, but not great episode. Catherine is getting better at following DB Russell's lead.

HARRY'S LAW 205 (Bad to Worse). Harry defends a teacher played by Jason Alexander. He has been fired due to the efforts of a local preacher. He failed a straight A student in his biology class when he did not believe in evolution, and tried to answer the questions on his tests through the idea of creation. Later in the episode the preacher's wife is found dead in the teacher's garage, dead. I will leave it to you to watch the episode to see who was guilty for the murder. 206 (The Rematch) - Harry once again goes up against Rosanna. She is defending her nemesis from last season, who has facilitated the return of a kidnapped girl. DA Rosanna, has charged him with aiding and abetting. He was compelled to help because when he was a DA he refused to negotiate with a kidnapper, and the child died. Both closing arguments are compelling, but Harry prevails, but she and Rosanna agree that it might not be the best thing for her client.

REVENGE 104 (Duplicity) - I enjoyed this episode a lot.  Very devious.  Emily goes after the psychiatrist who had her put in an institution while her father was in prison.  She discovers that the doctor tapes her sessions, and creates a website showing clips from the sessions of the Hampton elite ladies, including herself to push suspicion off of her.  She causes Victoria to suspect Lydia, as Lydia's sessions are not released.  Tyler continues to try to breakup Daniel and Emily. 105 (Guilt) Lydia returns and wants her house back.  All of the craziness takes place at a fundraiser for the victims of the terrorist attack that Emily's father was accused of helping to stage.  Nolan puts a hidden camera at Emily's, but she ships it to Lydia along with the remainder of her things.  Later this camera shows Frank throwing Lydia off the roof.  Nolan collects the camera shortly after. - 106 (Intrigue) - Emily and Nolan ship the footage of Frank to the Graysons' in an effort to get Frank out of the picture, but he is not one to go easy.  Tyler continues his antics, and goes as far to drug Daniel and then hits on him, but is rebuffed.  Frank is fired, but vows to prove that he is still a valuable asset to Victoria and Conrad.  107 (Charade) - The Grayson are profiles for their 25th wedding anniversary, which causes tension for all involved.  Frank continues to look for clues into Emily's past.  He goes to the youth authority where she was as a teenager, and breaks into the files after the warden rebuffs his requests for information.  He tracks down "Amanda Clarke" who is now working as a stripper.  He finds out the she and Emily (the real Amanda Clarke) switched identities.  As he is calling Victoria, "Amanda" clocks him over the head.  She shows up at Emil'y door at the end of the episode.  This show just keeps getting better with each episode.  Not happy that I have to wait two weeks for the next one.
