So, episode 2 continued in the slow plodding manner that the first episode set the precedent for. I’m glad that the story for the show continues to be engaging, if it wasn’t I don’t think it would be able to hold my attention.
When I first heard about Ringer, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Sarah Michelle Gellar is, of course, TV’s Sweetheart after her epic portrayal of Buffy; but I had some reservations about her small screen comeback. First of which, the fact that this show is airing on the CW. Any network that will give Tyra Banks her own show should be burned to the ground, but I digress.
Heading to living rooms soon is the somewhat anticipated X-Men: Destiny. While I do look forward to this game, I won’t be lining up for it or anything. Don’t get me wrong, I love the premise and the gameplay looks adequate. But usually when I play an X-Men game I want to play as an X-Man(or Woman). I may be a little picky here, so let’s just say I will be picking it up when it comes out, but my expectations aren’t huge.
I think it’s safe to say that The Avengersis one of the most anticipated movies ever, with years of work and a build-up that puts others to shame. It’s not just the movie, or the actors, it’s the method behind it. The way Marvel has decided to bring this movie to the masses, through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Well, as Walt and Jessie are having some relationship issues, Gus seems to be as unhinged as we’ve seen him…you know, aside from the flashback last week. And the whole box cutter incident. But at least the 3rd most unhinged we’ve seen the normally quiet chicken entrepreneur. Anyhow, onward and upward.
Tonight’s episode did something unusual – it produced a Skyler-centric side story that was not only good, but short enough to avoid being pushed too far and drawn out. It showed Skyler once again warming up to criminal enterprise, as she is forced to help Ted out of his tax issues, for fear that it could lead back to Walt. It was done nicely though. Most of the time getting a ‘Skyler Episode’ is like getting a ‘Lisa Episode’ on The Simpsons.
“Why yes. That dress does make you look incompetent.”
