Supernatural - The End, S05E04

What a phenomenally powerful episode. Supernatural has been delivering this season, and I'm loving every minute of it.

The premise of the End was that Dean (Jensen Ackles) was sent to the year 2014 by Zachariah (Kurt Fuller) to see what the world would become if he did not say yes to Michael. He arrived in a world plagued by Croatoan (something we first encountered in Season 1), and eventually managed to find himself. That's right, we had the pleasure of two Deans, one more surly than the other.

We still got our laughs. When Dean 2009 proved to Dean 2014 he was in fact himself, he spoke of trying on girl's panties when he was 19. He'd kind of liked it. And Cas, no longer an angel in this destroyed world, became an orgy-enjoying hippie. Plus, you had to love how well Dean actually knows himself and called himself out when he was spouting BS.

But the comedy was not what made this episode so brilliant. And yes, you gotta love how much Jensen Ackles we got. He had to work hard, after all, conversing with himself and creating a future Dean who had evolved from now Dean in a believable manner. I had no doubt that Dean could end up that way by 2014 given the circumstances. The real gem of the episode, however, was a stunning performance by Jared Padalecki.

We hardly saw Sam all episode, just a bit at the start and finish, but in 2014 we had one wonderful scene in which Dean 2009 faced Lucifer wearing Sam to the prom. What poise, what talent. Padalecki kept the same reservedness which all other actors playing Lucifer on Supernatural have displayed thus far. It's as if one person has continually played that part, simply wearing different costumes, which is a testament to the abilities of all of them.
Plus, seeing Sam not even present in Padalecki's eyes, completely dominated by the scorned lover, there is a praise-worthy performance. No, I never want to see Lucifer in Sam's body again, but boy did it show what Padalecki is capable of.

Which part of this episode moved you?

Glee - The Rhodes Not Taken, S01E05

I like Glee. It makes me laugh; it has good music; it's always entertaining. But, man the plots are terrible. Disconnected and all over the place, you can never be sure what's going to happen next because the choices are made completely for convenience.
It seems like the writers just feel like having this happen this week - we'll bring an adult singer into Glee for an episode; we'll make a boy band; we'll do 30 quick plot points that could work for a season in only one episode. There's no logical pattern. The only thing we do know is that glee club needs 12 members for regionals, and if we don't win regionals, glee club gets cancelled.

What would have made me laugh is if Glee had gotten cancelled, then glee club would have lost regionals and that's how the story would have ended. A little cruel of me to find that amusing perhaps, but Glee isn't cancelled (YAY!) and so we know they can't lose...or can they? Who knows what these wacky writers will do.

But as long as you ignore the plot as any true storyline, and just enjoy events as they come, Glee is great.

For instance, I love Rachel. I don't care that most people probably agree with Puck's statement "That Rachel chick makes me want to light myself on fire, but she can sing." I like her. I can relate to her, to all that effort to be somebody and to be important and the fact that most of the time it means you come off as annoying more than anything else. I'm just like that. And I want to see her succeed. And I want to see her with Finn.
Rachel and Finn work so well together, and that's one storyline I can follow. The poor idiot's inability to figure out life. I mean, he's only in high school. He doesn't know what he wants or why, so he's sort of caught between Quinn and his commitment there, and his attraction to Rachel. And naturally it's not going to go well for him, but it's fun to watch. I hope they have another scene together next week.

What do you hope? Or do the crazy plot inconsistencies make you change the channel?

Eastwick - Reaping and Sewing, S01E02

If I lived in Eastwick, I would probably be friends with all three of our leads, despite their differences. They are all women you want to have as friends.

Joanna (Lindsay Price) is so awkward, it's adorable. We have all danced and sung Like a Virgin with abandon with our best friends, though not all of us have then had the man we are in love with catch us in the act. And though it was completely predictable that Will would appear just as Joanna was getting really into it, it's one of those things you would be disappointed about if it didn't happen.
Plus, when he asked her to the Harvest Festival, and she turned him down cause she thinks she made him like her when he wouldn't have otherwise...so sweet. Even more sweet is the fact that he wouldn't give up, despite her rejections, and the ended up dancing to Madonna at the town dance. Awwwww.

Roxie (Rebecca Romijn) is just so much fun. She is tempestuous and exactly the kind of person you want on your side when you need backup. Her desire to kill the little puke who sexually assaulted her daughter is one we feel too. That jerk was never going to learn how to respect women, even if Mia had called him out on it. When Roxie drove at him, knocking him on his ass, I cheered.
Plus Romijn and Paul Gross (who plays the mysterious Darryl Van Horne) have such great chemistry. You have to give her props for not jumping him and removing all his clothes with her teeth...though, often, he's not wearing much. The tensions between Roxie and Darryl completely overpowers any spark between Roxie and Chad (Matt Dallas). I don't really see why he wants to be her boyfriend so badly...or why she's interested when he's behaving like such a kid about it, and I definitely didn't like that he was making her jealous with another girl who wasn't in on the plan. Now, not only is he weak and jealous, he's also a jerk.
I wonder how long it will take Roxie to actually end up in Darryl's bed.

Finally, Kat (Jamie Ray Newman), the dedicated mother, needs friends to support her more than she needs to take on any more problems that belong to other people. Her relationship with her husband, Raymond (Jon Bernthal), is so hard to watch. In the premiere, he was such an ass, and thus impossible to like. He kept yelling at Kat, blaming her for being struck by lightning (which was indeed her fault, but common, he shouldn't be thinking that), and he'd been a useless bum since he got fired.

While Kat tried to say good bye the entire episode, Raymond kept trying to say hello. We did get to see the chemistry that existed between this pair ignite, sending Kat into Raymond's arms and causing the tomatoes to grown, though it was not enough for me to want to see them reunite. Even when Darryl gave Raymond his job back, and Raymond promised Kat he'd change, I could not wish it. After all, it's nice when a relationship works when there are no problems, but when it crumbles like that in the face of adversity...

And so, as these ladies grow on me, and their powers grow as well, they did finally do something really big. The angry glares of three women sent Gus (the would-be rapist) off the scaffolding in the town square to his death. And though they killed someone, I couldn't really feel that badly about it.

How about you? Are you enjoying Eastwick?

Watching Raymond

Melrose Place - Vine, S01E04

Melrose Place will stay on the roster another week...but don't think it's in the clear. If it annoys or simply becomes to much work, I won't bother. But for now, I will continue to watch and review.

The show earned this extension by finally making me believe in Riley and Jonah's relationship. For once, they didn't fight and make up, instead they acted like a real couple. Invited to a movie premiere directed by Jonah's film school buddy, Riley showed me a side that I could actually like. She worked the room and made connections with important producers, which will hopefully lead to a break for Jonah. That is what a fiancee is supposed to be like. I wish the writers had started the couple more like this because if they keep it up, I may actually be sad when they break up. I may still be around to watch it.

Also, I still love Katie Cassidy's Ella. She has such spunk and fire, and yet she does not have control of every room she walks into. She tries and she rarely gives up power, but she can lose. It made it all the more worthwhile when she stood up to Jane to give her actor client the dress she wanted. She felt cornered, she wanted to do what was going to help her, but she chose to be a publicist first.
Plus, then we got a pretty awesome scene between David and Ella. Shaun Sipos has really grown on me, I guess he just had a bad week with the pilot because I don't find his acting attrocious anymore. He and Cassidy work very well together, their characters being cut from the same cloth and, therefore, having an understanding of the internal machinations of the other.

I also enjoy following Lauren's decent. I still haven't felt that she really tried any other option to get money, but at least this will be a plot that's going to last a long time. Might even continue to affect her until the end of the series, with ex-john's appearing at the hospital and continually threatening whatever sense of normalcy she acquires.

And crazy Violet is just getting more and more insane, which is entertaining to say the least.

So, if it continues to deliver this level of mediocrity, I'll stick around another week. Will you?

The Good Wife - Stripped, S01E02

This show is SO likeable.

How can you not like and respect a woman (or a man) who has lost a civil case, but is still happy because the same case will be tried in criminal courts and not be lost? The stripper whom Alicia and her firm were defending didn't want the money she would have received in a civil case. She wanted people to know that McKean had raped her. And since she got what she wanted, then that is a win...even if it's not our firm who made it happen.

Julianna Margulies's Alicia is the kind of woman you want to be friends with, or even to be. She is strong and hard-working, loves her family above everything else, and has issues but deals with them in a healthy and normal way. It is so easy to believe all the choices she has made so far. I feel for her because I also am unsure of her husband's betrayal. She wants to know the extent, she can't forgive him unless she knows the extent. Can you blame her? It may seem extreme that she wants numbers, details of that kind, but knowing the facts is probably better than what her imagination would give her.

If The Good Wife keeps making episodes that are this believable, I will keep watching. There is something about watching a show where I don't ignore details because, well, tv shows aren't perfect. Even though I question the bizarre photos of Peter's affairs that their son and daughter consider fakes, I don't question the children's desire to protect their parents. They were both horrified but drawn to the photographs, but quickly came to the decision to hide them from their mother. They wanted to protect her. And I loved that Alicia, having caught a glimpse of one on her son's computer, now thinks he may be looking at porn. And she's not overly upset, after all this is what boys do.

So now, I am hooked, even though I rarely watch dramas, rarely watch courtroom shows. Welcome to my Tuesday night date.

Trauma Pilot lacked trauma

I liked the first 25 minutes of the show. I don't know if I'd really want to watch a lot of it...cause there were some pretty intense moments: a helicopter crash that killed a man on route to the hospital, as well as some paramedics and pilots; a pile up caused by a moron texting on his blackberry; a 12 year old boy getting shrapnal in his throat from an explosion. I was terrified that the boy might die, that something truly awful might happen.

It didn't. At least, we didn't see much that was horrible. Sure, the explosions got my heart going, but it didn't last. They didn't play the aftermath for all they could have, and so I didn't stay as intently connected.

But despite those first 25 minutes, and the potential they might have shown for the show, the next 17 were dry and boring. All character development, the most exciting moment was when Rabbit (the helicopter pilot who survived the crash mentioned above) drove around as if he was Steve McQueen in Bullet. He took the door off a man's car, as well as a finger of that man's hand. But that was hardly enough in a show called Trauma.

It may get cancelled...I may still tune in next week....but next time, if I feel like the show should have ended after 25 minutes, I'm going to turn it off.
Here's a hint! Intersperse your trauma with your character/storyline stuff.

Castle - The Double Down, S02E02

This episode should have been called Strangers on a Boat.

Most crime shows eventually come up with the plot of having two connected murders, committed by people who met by chance. Strangers on a Train, a film by Alfred Hitchcock and a book by Patricia Highsmith, is the best known example of this switch.

And yes, when Castle and Beckett were staring at the board, sure the entire incident was not serendipitous, I figured out who killed who before they told me, but it took me until that moment to realize. And that is what makes Castle such a great show.
Two murders take place in a show where typically only one is being pursued, which might lead one to wonder why, except we were given a reason. A bet. Castle and Beckett's investigation vs Esposito and Ryan's. So you think, okay, we're going to get two interesting and entertaining murders, plus some character hilarity brought on by this bet. And then you don't think about it, until the writers are ready for you to be there.

Also, the literary and grammar stuff that Castle was using throughout the episode was fantastic. I love a man who knows the difference between whom and who, between irony and tragedy.
Did you love this episode?

Mad Men - Seven Twenty Three, S03E07

I did not like this week's episode of Mad Men. Not because I though it was badly filmed, acted, conceived, or anything of that kind. It was up to the standard that I have come to expect from this brilliant show.
But I still didn't like it.
Most episodes of Mad Men don't make me particularly happy. Last week, for instance, I did not get joy by watching Guy get run over by a lawnmower...though I may have laughed a little at comments that followed. Mad Men is not about life working out exactly the way we hoped and wanted. It does a much better impression of real life (particularly for those of us who weren't alive during the 60s and only have movies and historical pop culture to go on).
Still, this episode felt particularly depressing. Don just had a bad couple of days and took it out on everyone around him. He was mean to Peggy, as well as Pete and Betty. Thank God for Bert Cooper. If he hadn't swooped in and reminded Don that he knew of his true identity without really making him feel like it was being held against him...Roger could not have made a more stupid choice than getting Betty involved.
At least I still feel like Sally's teacher is throwing herself at Don and not the other way around. Though Betty has gotten bitter since their separation. Apparently sleeping with one guy (even if it was Chuck's Captain Awesome) was not enough for her to feel even....though at least that act isn't haunting her too, on top of everything.
But, if Don's life wasn't depressing enough, Peggy slept with Duck. Is that supposed to make me happy? So what if he seems to please her and she didn't bite Don's head off the next time she saw him, he's still Duck! And I like Peggy. I relate to her. There is no universe in which I would sleep with Duck.
I just hope next episode has a little more happy in it. It probably won't, but I can hope, can't I?

Dexter - Living the Dream, S04E01

I may be jumping the gun on this a little, but I feel like Season 4 may be recapturing the quality of Season 1. I just felt, while watching it, that we were back. I loved Season 1, thought Season 2 was pretty good, but that Season 3 completely lost focus and was sort of all over the place.
Season 4 feels focused again.

The opening has not changed, and who wants it too. It shows exactly what kind of a person Dexter is. All that blood, all that disturbing imagery hidden under a facade of normality. And, in a demonstration of what makes this show so brilliant, scenes copying the opening help us see exactly how Dexter Morgan (played by the creepy yet boy-next-door Michael C Hall) is doing. He wakes up, but he can't kill the mosquito on his arm, the white T-shirt he pulls over his head is stained, and his shoe lace brakes. The parallels tell you exactly how much having a son and living with his wife (Julie Benz) and her children is disrupting his calm and control.

Dexter is back in a danger zone. Lundy has returned to town, looking for a serial killer he's named the Trinity Killer. Still, if anyone can figure out that Doakes was not the Bay Harbor Butcher (who is, in fact, Dexter), it's Lundy. And now that he has a baby son, and is over tired, his work is suffering. As Dexter aptly put it "I'm killing for two now." If he gets caught, others will suffer. Most especially his son.

We also have another serial killer in the picture for the first time since Season 1. (Season 2, they were after Dexter and Season 3, well, let's just say there was so much going on that you didn't pay any attention to the guy (literally) tearing strips of people's backs...). John Lithgow is not the man I want to find naked in my bathroom, particularly not with a razor blade in his hand. I really feel like he's going to be a nerve-wrecking nail-biting fiend to pursue.

With a car crash ending the episode, and the worry that Dexter might still have a body in the trunk, I can't wait for next week' episode. Amazing how much we sit here and root for Dexter.
What are your thoughts about this season so far?

Supernatural - Free to Be You and Me, S05E03

I don't watch sitcoms. I don't tend to find them funny, more stupid or embarrassing. And I can't deal with embarrassing, particularly when it's cause by stupidity. But who needs sitcoms when you've got great shows like Supernatural. I watch and I laugh, out loud, at points close to hysteria.

And maybe you don't think I should think of Supernatural as hilarious. I mean, there's a whole lot of bad stuff going on.
1. The Apocalypse has begun
2. God is missing or dead
3. Sam and Dean aren't getting along
4. Sam and Dean are supposed to fight each other to death as the meatsuits of Lucifer and Michael respectively
and I could go on.

But if you did not laugh during the following moments this episode, than you are missing out.

Dean (while killing a vampire): "Eat it, Twilight."
Dean (speaking about Raphael): "You were wasted by a Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel?"
Dean (explaining things to Castiel); "Because we're humans. And when humans want something really really bad, we lie." (Cas: "Why?") "Because that's how you become president."
Dean (on Cas's potential last night on earth): "There are two things I know for certain. 1. Bert and Ernie are gay. 2. You are not going to die a virgin on my watch."

And poor Castiel's face at the prospect of being in a brothel and getting laid. I didn't know a man could look more terrified that a virgin on prom night.

Funny how an episode like this, which focused on the Apocalypse plot line and did not diverge, can still bring in why I love this show. And how badass is Dean that he can say stuff like that and still be considered tough and awesome, and not super geeky.

Did you love this weeks episode?

The Good Wife Pilot is pretty good

The slogan being used to advertise this show on posters and billboards is very powerful. His scandal, her story. From that purely curious part of my nature, I want to find out why a woman would stick by her husband amid crisis when she is discovering that not only may he have committed illegal acts by misusing government funds, but that he has been sleeping with dozens of women over the years. How does someone forgive that, or live through that, and not absolutely refuse all contact with him again?

The opening scene was very powerful. Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) is giving his speech to the press about how he's not guilty of the crimes he's accused of. Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) stands by him. She doesn't hear what he's saying, doesn't care about the alleged crime...she's noticing the blond hair on his jacket and picturing him with other women. Once they are free and clear of the cameras, her first action of the show is to slap her husband across the face.

After 13 years of being a full time mom, Alicia has to go back to work, as an associate at a law firm. Suddenly, she has to work again, and she finds herself thriving. Why she gave it up in the first place is somewhat unclear. She focused on being a mother, which is terribly important, but once her kids were grown, in school, did she not crave to go back? She is so enjoying what she is doing now, I find it hard to believe she didn't miss it. Then again, her kids are worth that to her. She went back to work for them and not for herself.

I have not yet decided whether this show will be part of my regular viewing...not because I don't like it, just because there is so much to watch and very little time. But I will watch it.

Fringe - Night of Desirable Objects, S02E02

Well, apparently we aren't done reacting. Despite the promise in the premiere that the Fringe team was going to take a more active approach to comprehending and stopping (?? is that what their goal is?) the Pattern, this week's episode followed the tried and true method that has worked well for Fringe so far. Something happened at the beginning (in this case, a mad disappearing, pulled directly into the earth), and then Olivia (Anna Torv), Peter (Joshua Jackson) and Walter (John Noble) showed up to solve the mystery.
When I put it like that, it doesn't do Fringe justice.
It's the mystery of the Pattern that is intriguing. And since this is a J.J. Abrams project, who knows where we're going, or what we'll find in the many alternate universes that exist. And it's the power dynamic between Olivia, Peter and Walter, as well as the rest of the cast. I live for Walter's semi-insane hilarious outbursts.
I am, as much as I love the show, a little disappointed this season. I realized that part of this is time. Last season, they had 49minutes. This season, they have 43. It's a big difference. 6 minutes in which Walter could have asked for a rootbeer float while doing an autopsy, in which the super-scorpion/mole/human-baby could have attacked and caused havoc.
The building web involving the Patter, and the alternate universe, and Peter, and Walter and William Bell, is growing. You know that the pay off is going to be good, great, fantastic! when we get there. But we are not there yet. And with those 6 minutes, so far this season, we have lost our pay off. We could have had awesome flashes of Charlie's fight to the death before he was thrown in the incinerator last week. We could have seen more than 3 seconds of Jessup this week. How can she compare to Charlie if we don't get to know her?
Fringe is moving towards awesome events, but I want some of them to happen sooner. I want them to happen now. I don't want this to be one of those shows that you stick with because sooner or later, it makes it worth every second. I want to feel that way every show, like I did last season.
What are your thought? Do you feel like we've hit a lull too, or am I missing the point?

Dollhouse, Vows (Season 2 premiere)

Fox took a big risk when it renewed Dollhouse last Spring. Despite being a huge fan of the show, I was pretty surprised that they did. I'd chalk it up to their refusal to make the same mistake twice. Cancelling Firefly just before it got its feet under it proved to have been a bad call, but renewing may have been equally bad...well financially, I mean.

This episode was perfect, exactly what we Dollhouse fans want. Echo (Eliza Dushku) was on assignment, and married an arms dealer, Martin Klar (Jamie Bamber* from BSG). Klar was not her client. He believed that he had finally me the perfect woman for him, but the entire thing was orchestrated by Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett). That's right, Paul's sort of a client now, using Echo to help bring down criminals he couldn't touch when he was an agent for the FBI. He's working with Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams - whose new short hair suits her very well, I must say), and Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix). Now this is where some things started to get a little odd. Boyd doesn't trust Paul, doesn't know what his intentions are, and is quite worried about exposure. Last season, he was questioning the Dollhouse, but now he's apparently fully invested.
Also weird discrepancy from last season is Boyd's relationship with Dr. Claire Saunders/Whiskey (Amy Acker). I'd always thought there was some connection there, but apparently Claire never saw it and accuses Boyd of taking interest in her out of pity now that she has discovered that she's also a doll. Joss Whedon's not one to get his story lines messed up, so I'm wondering what all this means. So things are a little messed up, but that is sort of what we expect.

If you didn't watch season 1...just ask, and I'll explain where we are, cause this episode did nothing to help you catch up. And in the time it's been off the air for the summer, it had the time to get a huge fan base...but it didn't. So new viewers, please ask so that we can all get on board and make it worth Fox's wile.

What we can expect from the rest of the season, now that we are going to get more plot lines that connect through the episodes, as opposed to the half and half mix of long term and episodic stuff we got last season, is something to do with Sen. Daniel Perrin (Alexis Denisof* from Angel). He's decided that going after the medical corporation that fronts the Dollhouse is going to be good for his career. He's probably right. And we go back to that dilemma - do we want the Dollhouse to get closed down? Also, Echo is aware of the 40 personalities she's experienced, and Victor and Sienna no longer return to complete neutral - they were holding hands by the end of the episode (oh, and Adelle paid to have Victor's face fixed...she's still totally into who she made him be when she was a client). Plus, Alpha is still out there, and Whiskey's left on a mission to find herself...except she doesn't want to lose herself either.

I'm excited and hopefully. I really want this series to last because I am a huge Joss Whedon fan. And I, like many other, was totally excited about having a big ol' Buffy/Angel/BSG party going on. Faith and Apollo got married! And man I wish Jamie Bamber had been allowed to keep his own accent in BSG; might have made up for the last season of boring Apollo... I also wish that Alexis Denisof wasn't going to be American for his stint on Dollhouse...but what can you do.
For all you actors out there, my obvious advice is get in on the Whedon universe! You'll get work if Joss likes you.

What are you thoughts on the upcoming season of Dollhouse?


Vampire Diaries, Friday Night Bites

I am beginning to get into and truly enjoy the Vampire Diaries. Still not able to take as far a step back to make fun of itself as I'd like, but that's okay. I guess the titles (such as Friday Night Bites) are enough of that eye-rolling jokiness.

The more I watch, the more I like Damon and the more help I think Stefan needs... By the end of the episode, they got into yet another brotherly confrontation about Damon acting all evil and Stefan trying to act all human. Stefan again got the advantage. He had discovered Damon's little secret - that some humanity remained. Damon was unable to kill Stefan, unable to kill Elena. He could still feel for the people around him. Unsurprisingly, Damon's response was to kill the football coach (and history teacher) who had just come out to find Stefan for the game. And there, Stefan again fumbled. Oh, Damon can't possibly have any humanity left if he can kill some random person he's never met and who we knew to be something of a prick.
Damon still couldn't kill Stefan or Elena, but he'll refuse to see that humanity in himself. He'll push it down by killing random people in the town. I will be interested to see if he ever kills someone that really matters, to Stefan or Elena. That would be impressive.

And I am glad he killed Mr Tanner. The guy had serious issues, getting into a competition with one of his students to see who knew historical dates best? I mean, come on. How childish do you have to be? Damon did us all a favour by getting rid of him.

Do you think Damon could be turned to good? Or would you rather he embrace his wickedness.

Mercy, no.

I just watched the pilot of Mercy, the new medical drama that centres around nurses. It was alright, the sort of show I'd put on the back burner, have around to watch sometime when I'm bored and there is nothing else around; it has not, however, earned a place on my weekly schedule.

Veronica, or Ronnie (which is such an awful name), was in Iraq. She still has flashbacks and fears, which is understandable and even expected. Her husband cheated on her when she was away, and so they were getting divorced, and what he doesn't know is that she not only cheated on him while she was away, she fell in love, too. So there are problems there, and they are made more interesting by the couple's decision to reconcile, soon followed by her lover showing up at the hospital to find her. Yup, a love triangle already. I've got to say, I like her Doctor better than her idiot husband.
Chloe and Sonya, the other nurses central to the plot, are not nearly so interesting. Sonya has issues with men - finding a good one who has money, a job, and doesn't expect her to sleep with him if she ordered appetizers at dinner. Chloe is new on the job, and looks like she's twelve. Though she doesn't have the sex drive of a 12 year old...which is a good thing for this kind of show.

While there were patients, after all the show does take place in a hospital, it's pretty apparent that this is really a show about three women who happen to work in a hospital rather than a hospital show of which the doctors and nurses are people you like.
The worst part about the show is its inconsistent nature. Some moments were quite serious, almost moving, while others were just plain goofy. The balance is off, and I can't tell whether I'm supposed to want to watch because of the drama, the silliness or the sex. Well, since I can't figure it out, I guess I won't bother.
If you are a Grey's fan...you may like this show too. But for me, like Grey's Anatomy, Mercy is not on the priority list.
Am I wrong?
