Dexter- Blinded By the Light: This week we see Dexter growing weary of the neighborhood watch. There's a vandal running loose, and the extra attention is making it hard for him to do his dirty work. Plus, he's annoyed and wants to personally scare the vandal into stopping. We also see the Trinity Killer get his next victim, but there's some dispute at the station over whether it was a suicide or a homicide. Lundy and Deb seem convinced in their thoughts, but they're currently on an island. It's another good episode, and I can't find any noticeable flaws to point out. ☆☆☆☆Heroes- Hysterical Blindness: Thank goodness. After last week's disappointment, we are given the best episode of the season. Going in, all anyone could talk about was Claire's lesbian kiss, but by the time the episode ends, that's the least interesting part of the episode. Peter and Emma finally start to connect, with Emma realizing she can manipulate sound into a physical attack (finally proving she is a relevant character). Sylar has some memory loss, but when the cops find him full of bullet holes, he's tossed into an interrogation. As the pressure increases, powers start returning, and he has no clue what's going on. In the best move since the first season, we get a huge shocker in the Claire story line. I won't blow it for you, but it ties up some previous open plots, and was a fantastic twist. The episode ends with Samuel picking his new member, and the decision is bound to have great repercussions. ☆☆☆☆1/2
House- Instant Karma: Foreman and Chase are working on getting their stories straight after they get the impression that somebody may know too much about Dibala's death. On top of things, their patient is a dying boy who's father thinks his son's condition is based on karma since his business endeavors are booming. House is called in to make the final calls, but Foreman is still in charge. The episode continues to work the previous story lines, but it's not spectacular. It's still solid, but the boy's case wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. ☆☆☆1/2
Glee- Throwdown: Now that Sue has equal say over the club, she and Will are clashing hard. Sue wants nothing more than to bring the club to ruins, playing her usual games of sabotage, forcing Will to either get even or lose it all. It's a very very funny episode, capped by the funniest line of all. Sue, wanting to really divide the group, decides to make Will look racist. "Sanatana, Wheels, Gay Kid, Asian, Other Asian, Aretha, and Shaft." She even convinces Puck and Britney that they are being mistreated for being Jewish and Dutch. Her reckless disregard for any emotions is phenomenal, making this possibly the funniest episode yet. It's also now apparent who the real musical talents are. Lea Michele (Rachel), Amber Riley (Mercedes), and Kevin McHale (Artie) can definitely sing well. Dianna Agron (Quinn), who gets a solo this week, and Cory Monteith (Finn) are both ok singers, but they are no where near the level of those other three. ☆☆☆☆
FlashForward- Black Swan: This is a fairly forgettable episode. Having watched it only a few hours ago, I've already forgot much of what went down. Mark and Demetri are debating how to proceed with the new information at hand, and Olivia is trying her hardest to avoid Mr Simcoe. Not a lot happens, but she does have a patient who's quite sick, and Bryce pieces together the solution by mixing symptoms with the man's flashforward. It's interesting, but overall, the episode is frustrating. ☆☆1/2
Community- Advanced Criminal Law: Brita is caught cheating on a Spanish test, forcing Jeff to represent her during a hearing to determine the school's actions. There's very little humor in the story line. Annie needs help writing a school song, and Pierce says he's a great composer... he's not. This was fairly funny, as Pierce's "brilliant" ideas were actually just him changing the words to existing songs, but thinking he came up with it all himself. Troy and Abed are pulling jokes on each other, but Abed really doesn't get it. He makes some weird alien noise that are funny, but that's it. ☆☆1/2
The Office- Mafia: This was a pretty solid episode, not brilliant, but definitely not bad. After being approached by an Italian insurance agent, Michael becomes convinced he's being targeted by the mafia and if he doesn't enroll, they will burn the office down. Much of the office thinks this is absolutely ridiculous, but since Jim and Pam are on their honeymoon, there's no one to keep Michael in check. ☆☆☆1/2
