The dean of medicine from PPTH comes to see House in prison. House tells the guard he doesn’t want to see Cuddy. The guard says “he said you would say that”. He?
House walks in the room and it’s Foreman. He’s there to spring House because they need him at the hospital. Foreman says he’s on conditional parole because their patient is a set of lungs in a box. House is so on this.

How many times will racers not read directions? I mean, really. Every episode? All one needs to know is right there in the envelope. C’mon, guys. Read it.
As I step off of my soapbox, the racers head through Indonesia from Yogyakarta to Borobudur. Along the way they count Buddhas, ride bikes, plant rice, wrangle sheep, and share secrets.

It’s movie night! Weird costumes and facial hair abound. We have an amped up band, but music is butchered anyway. Oh, and 10s! In week 4 – are you kidding?
Considering last week’s upset elimination, the stars really needed to bring their game because anything could happen. Unfortunately, save for a couple of our stars, it’s not a great night overall.

For me, tonight’s episode of HIMYM was divided into two parts- the stuff I liked, specifically Ted’s and Marshall’s storylines, and what I was indifferent about, specifically everything involving romantic relationships.
Yes, that’s relationships with an “s”, because Robin ends up dating Kevin. Her therapist Kevin. They at least get those issues out of the way, but maybe you can sense some reason for my lack of enthusiasm.

Last week’s episode was probably the one that either got you to quit the show or stay around a while longer & I’m glad I’m still watching. I think this week’s episode was the best one yet. Most of the story was set around Caroline trying to get her bite guard back and all the wacky hijinks that ensued everywhere she & Max went.
We start at the diner, where Earl tells Max that the worst thing she could imagine is happening: Han is putting in karaoke to draw in more customers. Max hates the idea & when Han tries to get a girl name Stacy to sing, she stops him. Afterward, she finds Caroline in the kitchen complaining about her teeth and how she needs her bite guard back to help straighten her teeth.

The last thing that comes to mind when seeing Will and Alicia in a room is litigation, but this week they are stuck in a room along with 10 romance-crushing lawyers. This ain’t no $9,000/night presidential suite.
It seems appropriate that the case is a medical one as House’s Cuddy, Lisa Edelstein, plays opposing counsel Celeste Serrano. She’s still hot for Will, whom she once had a two-year relationship. So the question is — will Will go back to her? (Seriously, that isn’t even a real question – he paid $9,000 for a hotel room to be with Alicia for goodness sake!)

We have been sitting through a season of Walt being pushed as low as he could be pushed. Walt seemed broken and distraught. His every move has been predicted by Gus before it was made. Nothing he said or did could convince Jesse of the urgency of the matter. Then, a young boy Jesse cared about fell ill and all fingers on Walt’s hands pointed towards Gus.
Jesse was now on board to kill Gus, so what can Walt do to outsmart Gus and end this…

Fairy tales always carry a message. Usually it’s one about self-esteem or true love. This episode of Dexter plays heavily on the lore of fairy tales, but how many end with “then your daddy killed the big baddy and put his blood on a glass slide?”
Dexter is heavily weighing the type of information he will pass on to his (incredibly adorable) two year old son, Harrison. He wonders what will be passed on directly versus what Harrison will just pick up along the way by chance. He probably wasn’t counting on the toddler talking about “Daddy’s box” (of blood slides).

Watch While I Revise the World

This show has some of the dumbest episode titles. I definitely don’t get the one this week. The housewives would be revising the world if they didn’t do the same old stupid things week after week. Acting intelligently would be a revision.
That being said, Carlos and Susan are still bonding over their shared guilt; Bree and Gaby are still freaking out about the letter and Lynette is still dealing with her separation, but this week there’s no Tom in sight.

Annnnnnnnd, it happened. Three episodes in and SNL produces a steaming turd of a show this week. No, that’s not accurate – steam would imply that it was hot at some point. The only saving grace in this week’s episode is that musical guest Foster the People put on some good performances and actually looked like they wanted to be there. Too bad none of the cast did.
Did you think this episode sucked? Read on and tell me how right or wrong I am in the comments!
