For the record, and since I’m sure people will be picking sides, I’m on Team Margie & Luke. Actually, I’m more on Team Complete Misunderstanding, but that isn’t one of the choices. How about Team Let’s Just Move On? No? OK. Team Margie & Luke.

So much for warm and fuzzy family reunions. Kathleen Quinlan joins the cast as Catherine Burrows Scofield, wasting no time in sending people out for General Krantz’s blood. But by the end of the episode, she’s setting her sights on her own family. Scylla really is reflecting the mythic monster it’s named after.

This week, Gordon scares the chefs by making them believe he’s kicking everyone out. Surprise, surprise, it’s just time to go check out Borgata in Atlantic City, N.J., where they will work if they win. After being shown the big, empty space of possibilities, they go to dinner with the Borgata chefs. A few minutes in, Robert gets up from the table and leaves. None of the other chefs know it at the time but he’s having a great deal of chest pain and sees the medic. He’s advised to go to the hospital as he might have had a heart attack. Oh, no, Robert!

Of course, Tom continues to prove his everlasting commitment to his his job yet again; he forgot to hide them. Oh, life in the little city of Pawnee. Every day is an adventure for Leslie Knope… even when it’s not.

Ever had one of those days where you’re so stinkin’ mad that you can hardly form sentences? Well, let me apologize in advance for the possible mistakes in the grammar of this review. To quote Marge Simpson, “I’m really cheesed off!”
And don’t forget to check out what happens after Tribal Council at The Ponderosa, the camp for the Jury Members.

Ahh, nothing like a good nerdcon. This doesn’t bring back memories for me at all. And who is better to represent this episode than CSI’s dorkiest labtech, Hodges! He’s at a convention for Astro Quest, a strangely familiar looking sci-fi show. And who should he meet there but Wendy! It seems that she too is a Quester. They share a few tender dork moments before a shriek interrupts their flirting. An exhibitor is dead, and it doesn’t seem likely that aliens had anything to do with it.

Happy Thursday, Two Cents readers! I’ll be taking over 30 Rock recapping duties for a while, which is quite the departure from my typical Lost Island territory. Instead of a complex and increasingly implausible mytharc, I get to tell you about the amazing things that Kenneth Ellen Parcell does! But before we get to Kenneth, this week we found Liz being forced into a sexual harassment seminar. I can only imagine how amazing it would be if they’d sent Tracy instead. Good Lord, the lawsuits that would ensue…

Well. I for one was not disappointed in this week’s episode. It was a bit more intense and we lost 3 more people. The writers are wasting no time and I guess neither will I, on telling you what happened.

It starts off with a lot of cheese puff balls being thrown around and into each other’s mouths! Ok, it was actually pretty cool- I bet it took 100 takes to get all those scenes right! How will the Michael Scott Paper Company fare this week? Come and find out!
