Mozzie, Spies, and Puppets – Oh My! Review: White Collar – “Identity Crisis”

  • By

  • 6 mins to read

It is a true measure of a show’s quality, I think, when it can tell the story of a quirky romp with a multitude of golden one-liners and grin-worthy inside jokes and still manage to keep the sentimental back-beat of the season-long theme going at its core. “Identity Crisis” is, at first glance, a story of a treasure hunt. Through a series of seemingly unconnected events, Mozzie (Willie Garson) discovers a potentially priceless piece of American history and elicits help from Neal (Matt Bomer) and Peter (Tim DeKay) to find it. But it’s more than that, really.

The (Bastard) Prince of Portland? Review: Grimm, S2 “The Kiss”

The cryptic clues to Cpt. Sean Renard’s (Sasha Roiz) identity throughout “The Kiss” had me salivating. I knew he was something…else, and as Catherine (Jessica Tuck) mentions, he’s “barely human.” But what he is isn’t exactly quite clear. And as the episode unfolds, more is revealed and that makes me very happy.

The penultimate episode of True Blood is dark, predictable and meh. I wasn’t surprised, appalled nor did I learn much of anything that will help wrap up this season with a neat bow.

I ventured for the first time to the 2012 Chicago Comic-Con, otherwise known as Chicago’s Wizard World. Attendance figures have not been released but the event, held at the Donald P. Stephens Convention Center), was packed. Having attended San Diego’s Comic-Con last month, I felt right at home seeing excited fans in costumes and a full day of programming events.

The future is unknown… Review: Falling Skies, S2 Finale “A More Perfect Union”

While I believe there are Skitters who want to be free of the oppression of the humanoid overlords, I think they may have their own agendas once the overlords are defeated. After learning from the Skitters that the overlord is creating some sort of weapon, it makes me wonder if the Skitters are leading the 2nd Mass into an ambush.

“…tapped it and scrapped it” Review: Wilfred, S2 “Service”

“Service” is a bit better than last week’s episode, but just barely. While there were early chuckles, thanks to the much underutilized Rob Riggle who plays Kevin, one of Ryan’s (Elijah Wood) co-workers, the rest of the humor, or shall I say attempts at humor, were sort of lost on me. Perhaps in a later episode, we’ll learn the reason behind Wilfred’s (Jason Gann) strange…diet, if you will.

Neal has spent his life working angles in order to survive. In many ways, he’s like the mobile by Pascal that is the artistic centerpiece for this heist. The mobile is about perception – modern art that some might dismiss as trash while others declare it priceless. Its beauty is in its constant motion—always shifting, turning, catching angles of light so that each time you look at it, you see something slightly different. Neal has mastered the art of perception, making people see in him what he wants them to see, and it’s only recently that he’s questioning that visibility.

“Episode 207” gives us a good mix of comedy and drama as Beverly (Tamsin Greig) deals with her new life, and Matt (Matt LeBlanc playing himself) has to face up to his weight problem. Carol (Kathleen Rose Perkins) pretty much sums up the issue—“We need hot Matt, not fat Matt.”

Truth – I miss Wilfred from season 1. Review: Wilfred, S2 “Truth”

A show of hands — who is disappointed with season two so far? I had to put both my hands up because I’m disheartened at how much this show has taken a turn for the…deep. Deep, as in the writers are diving too deep into the psyche of the characters and focusing less on the amazing dark comedy showcased in season one.
