Reviewing March 11th and 13th, 2009

Last Wednesday



“What have you done now, Mom?!”



Is it wrong that I like Bo a lot more now that he has these ludicrous visions?



I have no interest in Luloe, but man, is that some nice lipgloss on Chloe. I wonder what brand it is.



“I don’t know, son…are you incompetent enough to join the Salem PD?”



No, Dr. Baker! You can’t go! What about your fans? You can’t leave us! DAMN YOU, DAYS!



This is a really nice look for Sami here, especially her hair. She should wear it like that more often.



See? Sydney, hereafter known as Elvira because I hate that name, takes after Evil EJ. She clearly knows what’s up.



I think I see part of the Salem PD’s problem here. They’re still using Apple IIGSs from 1990.



Yeah, that’s how I feel about this idiotic plot too. And the 1986 Jordache Spring Collection called, Nicole. It wants its shirt back.

Grade:



Who am I to argue with these two? F.

Thursday



Anyone who thought I’d actually watch an episode with Ejole not sexy time in it doesn’t know me very well. So I thought it’d take the space that review would normally occupy and plug one of my favorite television shows that’s on the bubble for renewal at the moment, Chuck on NBC. Why do I watch this action dramedy? Simple. Chuck and Sarah. Now they aren’t really together.



But they’re trying. It’s just tough when the guy is a nerd who’s had a top secret database accidentally downloaded into his brain and the girl is the CIA agent assigned to protect him. Were they to formally be a couple, Sarah would be reassigned elsewhere.



However, that doesn’t mean they can’t pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend for their cover. And Chuck gave Sarah his mom’s charm bracelet which she wears, so you know they both want to be together. They just have to find a way to make it work.



They even have tons of photos even if they are ones that the CIA faked for them. So if you’re not already watching, please check out Chuck on NBC on Mondays at 8 pm EST, 7 CST. The show isn’t Lost or Heroes, so you can just jump in and enjoy, but if you want to get caught up on previous episodes, you can at http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/ or http://www.hulu.com/chuck



And if that’s not enough, did I mention that Adam Baldwin looks really hot in a wet tux?

Friday



Oh, good, Stephanie gets Philip coffee. Sheesh, perhaps Melanie wasn’t wrong after all, at least as far as Salem is concerned. That is a very pretty dress Stephanie is wearing, however.





“Clap on! Clap off! Clap on, clap off! The Clapper!”



“Yet again you disappoint me, Diet Evil EJ. Here’s a hint. You are the man. You ensure that you don’t run out of formula for my daughter or in event that you do, you go out and get it yourself, you pathetic AFI reject.”



They had not sexy time with the baby in the room?!! Might as well just put Elvira in therapy right now.



Oh, this is just too easy. Insert your own joke here, kiddos.



I have to say, I really did like Diet Evil EJ’s bait and switch here with the alternative fuels project. Of course EJ doesn’t give a crap about the environment; that’s why I was annoyed when they had him be pro-green on Earth Day. Thank you for fixing that, unknown writer person.



Great, Phinie is apparently the new Lumi for slobbering noises while kissing.



If there was ever any doubt that they are trying to make EJ look older for Nicole, here’s your proof.



“I know! It’s like I’m a completely different person with this haircut!”



Is anyone else amused by the fact that EJ seems to be the only one on this soap who takes commitment seriously?



Action Diet Evil EJ with side arm grip! Terrified Melanie sold separately.

Grade: D. Lame, but siding with the oil companies and screwing Melanie over is exactly the kind of ruthless business acumen I want EJ to have. Now just to fix the rest of him.
