Last week we watched Dante go home and hopefully this will end some of the drama that has been circulating through the house. Will the drama get better or worse? Come find out!

Jamal comes back to a pretty good welcome and I am pretty sure his ego is inflated more than it was even before. Ciji expresses that she hopes the drama will end now which I figure is foreshadowing that there will be tons of drama this episode.

There was a hot girl in the comic shop this week – and it was Penny! Our previously superficial heroine ends up showing how far her penchant for geeky boys has progressed when she makes a date with the owner of the store. Or maybe it’s just because it was the boys’ self-proclaimed “Anything-Can-Happen Thursday”.

So this Big Bad from Nigeria is smuggling passports in knock-off designer purses, but he seems to have misplaced said purses. The answer? Kill everyone who has worked in the black market stall or anyone who has bought a copy of that purse from said stall until you find the passport, right? Oh, and make the killings all ritualistic and voodoo-ey. Simple.

Sarah Connor – Terminated

EW is saying:

“Resist the urge to nuke the messenger, but multiple sources are telling me that Fox will not be renewing Terminator: The Summer Glau Sarah Connor Chronicles for a third season.

“It’s done,” maintains a source close to the show. “Everyone has pretty much known for a couple of weeks.” Adds a network insider: “Consider it canceled.”

Ted’s new firm, Mosbius Designs, has great potential… if only Ted can make that first phone call. And then there is Barney and Marshall… trying to avoid layoffs by becoming indispensable. Oh, yeah: and Barney is still in love with Robin. Too bad he offended his only confidant, Lily, and she isn’t speaking to him.

PS – Congrats to Alyson Hannigan and her new bundle of joy!

The Show Will Be Missed – Trust Me

Personally, this is very disturbing. This is one of my favorite shows currently on TV. What a shame.

According to the New York Times:

“Trust Me,” a comedy-drama about a make-believe advertising agency in Chicago, was canceled by TNT on Friday after a single season. It “achieved creative success,” said Michael Wright, executive vice president and head of programming for TNT, TBS and TCM in Atlanta. “It just didn’t find an audience.”

According to ratings data from TNT, a Time Warner cable channel, “Trust Me” drew only about 1.4 million viewers for each episode during its 13-episode season, which started in January and ended on Tuesday. The series featured Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh as creative executives at the imaginary agency. “People sometimes lament there’s so much drama built around doctors and lawyers and police,” Mr. Wright said, but it may be that the world of advertising is “not as accessible a subject as other subjects on television.”

House is at its best when it’s an equal measure of personal stories and medical ones. Which means that “Savior” isn’t one of the better episodes. There’s a lot more personal in this one.

The action starts with the usually House fake out — environmental demonstrators are chained to a tractor that is tearing down a mountain when one of the women chained passes out. But wait, she’s not the patient. Turns out, she was just dehydrated. Then her male companion gets up and drops to the floor, unable to walk. Yep, he’s the one.
