Lets say you’re in a race for a million dollars. Would you not make sure you were familiar with all of the rules and regulations of said race? Yeah, me too. But apparently, that is not as common-sense as I thought.

Ever since I found out about this episode, I’ve been looking forward to it like you wouldn’t believe. I’m a sucker for cases that are personal to one of the detectives, and when I learned that Scotty’s portrayer, Danny Pino, co-wrote the episode, I was even more excited. Learning that the squad would be playing softball was icing on the cake. So, did “Stealing Home” strike out, or was it a home run?

Happy Easter. Have some violence and angst with your ham.
Sam is not only trying to take over the Mack/sniper rifle OTP, he’s still trying to hit on Bridget. Bob tells him to back off. He still follows her home anyway. This really reads like a scene out of a Lifetime movie. Complete with really bad attempted rape that gets broken up at the last second.

The rebels are marching South in their quest against religious persecution. Cromwell is getting increasingly nervous as are the nobles in castles in the line of the rebel’s path. Will the rebels reach London? Stay tuned and find out!

…Phil Keoghan, host/activist
After 14 season of the award-winning The Amazing Race, its host (and native New Zealander) Phil Keoghan has traveled to practically ever corner of the globe, experiencing different cultures, peoples, and (sometimes most frighteningly) cuisines.
This Spring, his focus is on the United States as he crosses this great land of ours on his trusty Specialized Transition. You read that right. He is biking from Los Angeles to New York in just over 40 days to raise awareness for the National MS Society, among other things.
I was lucky enough to catch up with him at one of his pits stops in my very own hometown to talk a little about the trip, the National MS Society, and (naturally) The Amazing Race.
TheTwoCents: What is the purpose of this great bike ride across the country, besides having the time of your life of course?

The chair in Topher’s lab lights up whenever the lights are flashing, hands and braces holding back someone struggling against the restraints until finally blood splashes up against the tinted window. Echo and November watch this as it happens and when the blood splashes against the window they speculate on who is getting in trouble for doing a bad thing.

We just left off with Michael getting new office space in the same building as Dunder Mifflin. The episode starts off with Michael unveiling the new office- and we’re treated to new opening credits with scenes of the Michael Scott Paper Company gang. Ok, let’s see how Michael and his Dream Team can work together!

As you may recall, Michael and Pam have left Dunder Mifflin to start The Michael Scott Paper Company. See how things turn out on their first days on the job!
Pam arrives for her first day at Michael’s condo and of course he’s in a bathrobe and so nervous that he cooks fifty pieces of French Toast. Slowly but surely Pam convinces Michael to overcome his nerves and start their work beginning with getting Michael dressed.

This week, it’s time for spring break! Bikinis and beach, along with asphyxiation and molestation. Party time!
Rick Dunkle wrote this one. It’s his first episode with the show as a writer, and it’s a pretty good first episode. Oh yeah, and Professor Rothschild from this season’s Masterpiece was directing… I mean George Costanza… er… Jason Alexander. You know what I mean.

…Joss Whedon, Part 2!
Happy Dollhouse Friday! In a second chance to talk with the creator of such icons of pop culture as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, we focused on the characters of Dollhouse… where they have been, where they are going, and how the heck they got involved in The Dollhouse in the first place.
TheTwoCents: Fans have been speculating about the possibility that staff members of The Dollhouse are possibly dolls themselves. Obviously, you can’t tell us yes or no, but is that something you’ve thought about yourself… about if the employees of a place like this would all be purely there?
