icepixieHeh. I've been looking forward to "Double Trouble in the Panhandle" since I saw spoilers on LJ, and it was certainly amusing, at least once I waved goodbye to dignity. (I cringed a lot during the "rocking the trailer" scene.)
Although my goodness, the logical fallacies abounded. They didn't, you know, rehearse the act before peforming it in front of an audience? Oh, these two fail so hard at being undercover. And are so amusing while doing so. :D
(Also, I'm going to guess someone on the staff was a fan of Carnivale? Granted, this didn't have the religious aspect, but there were definitely dirty freaks in the desert associated with a really crap carnival/circus.)
I still like Mr. Nigel Murray--finally, someone who shares my penchant for finding obscure trivia and trotting it out at inappropriate moments--but I do wish they'd just pick someone already.

I think I would've mostly liked "Fire in the Ice" if I hadn't been so distracted by the BLATANT UNBELIEVABILITY of Booth working the freaking case WHEN HE WAS A SUSPECT. *headdesk* I know reality doesn't really mesh with this show, but...seriously? This is as ridiculous as that interview in the Vomit Comet.
I did like Agent Perotta, though. She was, you know, competent, and also funny.
Didn't like that the case ended so quickly. The guy just confesses...that's it? Hmmm.
I'm with Brennan on not understanding anything about hockey. I assume the guy in Booth's dream is famous?

Date: 2009-01-24 07:56 am (UTC)Oh, dignity, did they have to lock you up in an insane asylum, too? Has dignity been killing people and then gnawing on their faces?
(I cringed a lot during the "rocking the trailer" scene.)
I just cringed a lot, period. Good actors pretending to be bad actors hurts to watch.
Oh, these two fail so hard at being undercover.
ISN'T THERE SOME SORT OF FBI UNDERCOVER IQ TEST YOU HAVE TO PASS TO GET YOUR UNDERCOVER LICENSE??? Good LORD.
I still like Mr. Nigel Murray
Awww, my favorite is Wendell, with his kicked-puppy-ness. Although Mr. Nigel-Murray is quite nice, too.
if I hadn't been so distracted by the BLATANT UNBELIEVABILITY of Booth working the freaking case WHEN HE WAS A SUSPECT.
Ummmmmmm yeah. Why wasn't Caroline all over that??
This is as ridiculous as that interview in the Vomit Comet.
Nothing is that ridiculous, sorry.
The guy just confesses...that's it?
I know, I was like, "Oh, I get it, he's lying to cover for someone els- wait, seriously, it's that simple?" But I guess they had to deus ex machina to squeeze in all that Booth-playing-hockey time...
I assume the guy in Booth's dream is famous?
He looked awfully young to be OMG THE BESTEST HOCKEY PLAYER EVAR!!1!, but...
Speaking of OMG, was that coma-prevention at the end not cute? It was worrying, though, in that it was just like that one S2 ep of Doctor Who, where the Doctor and Rose are all, "Let's hold hands and talk about how we'll be together forever and ever just the same as always and AIEEE FALLING ANVILS FROM THE SKYYYYY!!!" Foreshadowing, much?

Date: 2009-01-24 07:13 pm (UTC)Wait, so are you equating Zack with dignity?
I just cringed a lot, period. Good actors pretending to be bad actors hurts to watch.
Wait, so there are good actors on the show besides TJ? *ba-dum-CHING* Brennan's not-Canadian-not-Southern-just-weird accent was pretty awful as well.
ISN'T THERE SOME SORT OF FBI UNDERCOVER IQ TEST YOU HAVE TO PASS TO GET YOUR UNDERCOVER LICENSE??? Good LORD.
I KNOW.
Awww, my favorite is Wendell, with his kicked-puppy-ness. Although Mr. Nigel-Murray is quite nice, too.
My favorites are still Clark and the old guy. NM comes in third. Wendell I suppose is fourth. He's okay, and sweet, but he's kind of a non-entity in his scenes with the others. (Did enjoy him picking up the blood samples on the ice and NO ONE NOTICING.)
Ummmmmmm yeah. Why wasn't Caroline all over that??
I don't know! She should've been! Grrrrrrr.
Nothing is that ridiculous, sorry.
Well, true.
I know, I was like, "Oh, I get it, he's lying to cover for someone els- wait, seriously, it's that simple?" But I guess they had to deus ex machina to squeeze in all that Booth-playing-hockey time...
*sigh*
He looked awfully young to be OMG THE BESTEST HOCKEY PLAYER EVAR!!1!, but...
Yeah, he did. I wonder if it was an actor playing said hockey player in his prime. Maybe he's a dead guy?
Speaking of OMG, was that coma-prevention at the end not cute?
It was trite, but still adorable, yes.
It was worrying, though, in that it was just like that one S2 ep of Doctor Who, where the Doctor and Rose are all, "Let's hold hands and talk about how we'll be together forever and ever just the same as always and AIEEE FALLING ANVILS FROM THE SKYYYYY!!!" Foreshadowing, much?
Heh heh. Maybe so, but it's like Angela's dalliance with Roxy--you know if either of them wanders off, they'll just end up back together eventually. For all their faults, the producers are at least not going to disappoint on that respect.

-He does look a bit young but he's the real deal. Luc Robitaille played himself. He's in his early 40s. Retired in 2006. He holds the record for most goals and points by a left winger. So he is one of the best ever.

Date: 2009-01-25 03:57 am (UTC)We see them both painfully infrequently?
*ba-dum-CHING*
Where were you hiding that drumset??
Poor Boreanaz has come so far since his Buffy days, though!
Brennan's not-Canadian-not-Southern-just-weird accent was pretty awful as well.
AWFUL.
I did like the "well, calling them Canadian will excuse all sorts of weird" approach...
(Did enjoy him picking up the blood samples on the ice and NO ONE NOTICING.)
ICE NINJA!
I don't know! She should've been! Grrrrrrr.
Remember back in the day when Caroline jumped down Hodgins's throat for touching evidence when he was a suspect? Sigh.
Maybe he's a dead guy?
Dunno, I got a "wheeee there's totally a famous hockey dude on our set!!!" vibe.
-you know if either of them wanders off, they'll just end up back together eventually.
Heh, yes. But I sense drama on that front approaching...
For all their faults, the producers are at least not going to disappoint on that respect.
They are not quite that dumb, at least. Hooray?

Date: 2009-01-25 07:45 pm (UTC)Well, this season we do, anyway...
Where were you hiding that drumset??
In my TARDIS-like pocket.

E for Effort?
I did like the "well, calling them Canadian will excuse all sorts of weird" approach...
Well, it always does...

Alas.
Dunno, I got a "wheeee there's totally a famous hockey dude on our set!!!" vibe.
But luckily
Heh, yes. But I sense drama on that front approaching...
I actually really liked Perotta, so I would be okay with that.
They are not quite that dumb, at least. Hooray?
Woo.

It has more cymbals on the inside than the outside?

E+!
But luckily [info]vallentine is here to set us straight. :)
So helpful!

She was indeed decent.

Date: 2009-01-25 06:26 am (UTC)On the show, he looked all of twenty, whcih is why I was rather surprised at Booth calling him an all-time great.
