This week's TeeVee
Feb. 4th, 2011 11:32 pmActually, more than this week’s TV, as I’m a bit behind in posting on Pretty Little Liars. (And less than this week’s TV, because I haven’t watched White Collar. It seems to be universally regarded as Bad, so I’ll wait until there’s a good ep to follow it up with.)
1. Nikita was, well, Nikita. Dealing with foreign politics. This is not the show’s strong suit. But there was Nikita with guns. And Michael actually using his brain. (This is a show where the bad guys can’t use their brains too much, or the good guys’ plans will fall apart altogether. I really should be more critical about that.) But the best part was Nikita breaking off her heals because you can’t run and fight in high heals. Hmm…unless the best part was Nikita apparently, uhm, actually caring about minors drinking.
2. Pretty Little Liars continues to be giddy fun. Like, I don’t even care that the on guy who wasn’t creepy, a pedophile, or a Nice Guy left in a (understandable but misguided) huff, even though I really, really don’t like it when I dislike everyone of one gender in my shows.
( spoilers through 1.15 )3. Vampire Diaries was much better this week than it was last week. Not that that would have been hard. But it’s the whiplash effect, where one episode, I’m all “I WANT TO DROP THIS SHOW AND NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN! Except for this part.” and the next episode is “OMG! OMG! OMG! Except this part. OMG!”
