Let's Shake Some Squee - Second Chance episode 105 - Scratch that Glitch

[aragarna]

It was nice to have Tim (and everyone else) to keep me company in the lab in between analyses in the middle of the night!

This episode was less emotionaly charged as last week's episode, though it was still a good episode.


It was nice to see a bit more of the Goodwin twins. Though I have to say, despite the fact they're portrayed in the very positive light, there's something very spooky about the way they have cameras everywhere in their own house, the way they (or Arthur) can track anyone via the Internet...

They do have some really gadgets though. Transparents phones, 3D imaging...

Agent Pritchard and Sheriff Pritchard hard at work

Mary is a sweet lady, very resistant to her blood cancer, and apparently a very successful CEO. I don't have much of an opinion on her. On the other hand, I really like they way the show portrays Otto. He has serious social issues, but he's still very much human, with feelings (That's a nice chance of path from all the genius jerks on TV), which feels a lot more realistic to me.

Duval and Jimmy are working their issues nicely. The scene in the wood was sweet and definitely the higlight of the episode, so I'll forgive them the conveniently-placed-in-my-pocket-to-later-save-my-life plot device.

Agent Pritchard and Sheriff Pritchard take a walk in the park

Just another day for the Pritchards!

And Alexa was back \o/
No Gracie though. I really hope the family reunion will be next week!

The geek girl had the same haircut as me. :)

Duval, listening through the magical earpiece that kept changing ear.
See, it was on the other side earlier:

Really enjoyed episode 5. I'm loving that both Pritchards seem to be getting equal importance. Or maybe I'm so TDK-centric I just see it that way!

Heh. Tim is the emotional core of the show, the one that grounds it all to a reality that lets us connect to the show. And really, you don't hire Tim to play the cheerleader in the background. It'd be a waste of his talent.

He was a little less in that last episod, but he did totally steal the show last week, and all in all can't complain about his screen time. :)

LOL!! Ah well, you see, the thing is, the earpiece is annoying and so Duval changes it from ear to ear every few minutes!! :D :D :D

Good episode, despite the 'conveniently-placed-in-my-pocket-to-later-save-my-life plot device'! I'm interested to see how things develop as the season goes on.

LOL yes the magical earpiece changed side (or simply disappeared) like 4 or 5 times.

That plot device has been done to death. *rolls eyes* And how convenient that the bad guys always precisely aim at the heart... But the following scene was nice, so I forgive them.

ETA: and I forgot to mention in my post, but I'm curious to see where they're going with Jimmy mutating/falling apart.
(No comment on the DNA recoding itself - lots of eye rolls there - but the idea of the "monster" getting out of control is interesting)

That was a fun episode. :D I think I realized I was getting hooked on this show when I had a total "squee!" reaction to Mary finding out her blood cell counts were improving. I didn't even realize I cared about the twins that much. Apparently I do! :D And the scene in the woods with Duval and Pritchard was really lovely. Not quite enough TDK this week, but I really enjoyed all the scenes with the twins, so it balanced out.

Yes it takes a bit more time to warm up to the other characters, but there's some interesting dynamic there.
