icepixieApparently LJ is having issues e-mailing comments. I assume we'll all get a barrage of them in our inboxes sometime over the weekend.
Anyway, episode comments:
- I actually enjoy Megan and Peter as friends who can tease each other about girlfriends and flirtatious activity. I'd like them to do more than that eventually, but right now this is pretty funny. Alternately, for all but the last minute of the episode, one could pretend without much fanwanking that they're already together, and just have very liberal policies about how much flirting is allowed with other people. I dunno, they gave off that sort of breezy, Nick and Nora Charles kind of vibe to me.
- Poor Ethan and his interniness. At least fixing her phone is a step up from bringing coffee?
- "I watch telenovelas! This always ends badly--no survivors." I'm with you, Curtis.
- Is there actually a school in the nation that would've let Lacey go home with Kate? I mean, she and Todd have been dating for, what, a month? Surely he hasn't filled out the appropriate forms yet.
- "I love it when suspects provide their own handcuffs." Yeah, Bud was basically the only character holding this episode together for me. I think I need to build up my tolerance for Megan again after a summer off from her. As always, I like the idea of her bad-with-people self, and I love Dana Delany, but the ridiculousness of an ME acting like a detective hit me again this time, and I also kept wanting to tell her to just stop. talking. to the suspects and interrupting the interrogations.
- Ethan, did you actually go back in time to 1977 and buy your clothes there? Oof.
- Bud and Sam talking about sex was kind of hilarious.
- Megan, you are on duty. Why are you drinking? (And God, why am I not drinking through this?)
- Sooooo, they're trying (about six months too late) to capitalize on Dana Delany's old job on Desperate Housewives? Oof. This plot, it's even more ridiculous than usual.
- Megan, you are such a drama queen!
- "Because you're a woman?" Oh, Bud. So glad he obviously was just saying that to rile Megan, and she knew it. I am unsure this would've been the case back at the beginning of last season.
- Bwahahaha! I loved Kate's response to Megan's story about Lacey and the skates and "she looked at me like I was her hero. Yesterday you were her hero." *single emo tear* Kate: "DO NOT CARE. Just quit dragging me into your family drama, plz." (Although really she should've known she was going to be dragged into it once she started dating Todd.)
- The meth lab was actually somewhat unexpected. Bravo.
- I feel for Lacey here--she probably doesn't give a damn who picks her up from school when she's sick, but it's SO! IMPORTANT! to her parents, so she can't actually say, "Guys, I DO NOT CARE, quit making such a big deal about all these little things like driving me to school or horse-riding lessons" without hurting their--well, Megan's--feelings.
- And now Megan will be tutoring Lacey in science, I assume? Still not buying that a twelve-year-old is going to be that articulate when talking about her feelings, but whatever, it's the least unbelievable thing on this show.

Date: 2011-09-22 09:06 pm (UTC)I think about 2/3 of it was better last season, but this would not be out of place with the bad ones. I remember Megan let herself into the interview room and started interrogating a suspect in...the fourth episode, maybe? So there's precedent for how bad this one was, but it was made extra obnoxious by the "swinging, teehee!" attitude and the Desperate Housewives jokes.
I think maybe we just need to get used to the ridiculousness of Megan as Super Medical Examiner! again? That's what I'm telling myself. Also, with any luck the episodes will get better, because if they're all like this...yeah, I don't see myself sticking around either.
