What’s worse than having your car break down in the middle of nowhere? Perhaps having it break down in the middle of nowhere with an obsessive-compulsive boss who wasn’t supposed to be with you on the trip in the first place!

Welcome back Mad Men fans – which reminds me: we need a catchy name. That is your homework this week! The best idea wins (internet notoriety!), so send me your best shot at the above e-mail address. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. So, the consensus of the internet is a giant ‘I don’t get it’ regarding this week’s episode. I honestly feel like it was a set up for more important things to come in the later episodes. In fact, I think that’s exactly what it was; details we’ll need to remember to fuel the rest of the season. So let’s get to some of those, shall we?

Psych
High Noon(ish)
Original Air Date: 21 August 2009

This week, Psych invites us to revisit a simpler time, a happier time: the Old West. It seems that both Shawn and Lassiter loved playing cowboy when they were kids. While Shawn has moved onto other adventures as he’s gotten older, Lassiter still cares enough that he’ll stoop to intimidating – er, politely requesting that Shawn and Gus help him with a case in the Wild West recreation town of Old Sonora.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Beer Bad
#1 (Top 10 Worst Episodes)
Season 1, Episode 8

Beer Bad, no this episode bad. Every time we watch old episodes of Buffy, we skip over this one because we can barely stand it!
After Buffy gets dumped by douche bag Parker, she sulks and imagines saving him and he decided he wants to be with her again. In reality, he is a player who used Buffy. Xander gets a job at the bar on campus and is made a fool of by some jerk college boys when he hits on one of the girls. Colm calls him on the fact that he is just an average guys, and girls like her like smart guys like him. Yeah, what a jerk.

I Robot… You Jane
#2 (Top 10 Worst Episodes)
Season 1, Episode 8
Jenny D – TwoCents Staff Writer jennyd@thetwocentscorp.com
This is an extremely cheesy episode that centers around Willow. Moloch, an ancient demon is put into a book after killing some of his following. Giles is scanning books and putting them onto the computer. In scanning the pages, Willow release Moloch into the computer. Which, I must say is a pretty lame plot.

Dollhouse
Epitaph one
Unaired 13th episode [only available on DVD]
Angelique – Associate Staff Writer

If you are like me and are going to watch season 2 of Dollhouse, then I really recommend you watch this episode as well. Even though FOX decided not to air it, I think you will need to see it if you want to understand season 2. The episode takes place in the distant future, but some of the characters will be in season 2. In what form they will appear, I don’t know… but I am pretty sure this episode is significant. Otherwise, why would Joss Whedon even bother to add it to the DVD box set?
In this episode we will see the future, but every choice the characters make can change what actually happens. It will be interesting to see how far they will go down the path that begins in Epitaph one.

A little known fact about me: I am a trained stage magician. I’ve been into magic since I was a kid, and last year I went to a professional magic academy in Las Vegas. So show me a Leverage preview involving jokes about card tricks, and I’ll automatically squeal.

Citizen Cecil
Season 1, Episode 11
Nicola – Associate Staff Reviewer
nicola@thetwocentscorp.com
Cecil’s here. This can’t be a good thing. Cecil is an evil-looking strawberry blonde with a tattoo above his eyebrow. He just got out of prison and he’s looking to do a bit of gambling, looks like. He comes to the casino and is greeted by the casino manager, who thanks him for keeping his mouth shut in prison for three years, which allowed the business to thrive. He gives Cecil a wad of cash and a couple of tickets to a football game. Things are looking up for Cecil.
And that, of course, is when all hell breaks loose.
