Remember last week, when Chuck and Sarah tracked down old man Bartowski in his Streamline trailer about 100 miles from everywhere? Well, maybe you don’t because I missed recapping last week’s episode. Sorry. Anyway, we pick up where we left off last week, with Chuck and Sarah being greeted by Chuck’s father (Scott Bakula), who we’ll call Quantum Orion – for reasons which will be revealed later.

House has never had a full-out shocker, so last night’s episode left me wobbly in the knees. After all the rumors about a member of House’s team dying, it turns out to be Kutner. And he killed himself!

Huh?

So a lady who has been missing for five years turns up in a construction site frozen solid. Her husband had been murdered last year in a convenience store robbery. Connected? Um, we’re watching Castle, remember?

At the end of last week’s episode, Larry Moss and his squad were at a standoff with Hodges’ goons with guns. And Jack Bauer has been infected by the pathogen that Larry is looking for. There are only 8 episodes left… so Jack had better be thinking about shaking off that killer pathogen soon. Sheesh!

Okay, Heroes. You’ve got my attention now. I can’t successfully say that I was bored during this episode at all, so kudos! I don’t think the show has fully redeemed itself yet, but it is definitely getting there, and if it can keep up this momentum, we’re in for one awesome season finale. Dare I say that I’m excited to tell you what happened?

This week was all about beauty, passion, sensuality, and ferocity during the Viennese Waltz and the Pasa Doble. The competition is getting harder as the weeks go on, as we’re starting to lose the lowest competitors. What was once the middle is now closer and closer to the bottom. So, who captured the hearts of the judges and who floundered miserably? Let’s take a look.

Where Did We Last Leave Rescue Me?

Rescue Me is another great example of the FX Network’s sense of balance. Damages is set among the skyscrapers of New York; Rescue Me covers the city streets and blue-collar firehouses. Nip/Tuck shows people trying to be beautiful; Rescue Me doesn’t seem to mind the fat, goofy and out of shape. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia deals with crude, politically incorrect morons; On Rescue Me…well…ok, but at least they try to be a little better.
