I'm curious to see if his change in perspective will last, or if it will fade with the opiates. : Let's see the results, I'll let you know.Ĭranky post-op Russell clamoring for an iota of information about the outside world was pretty entertaining, even if it reminded me of a watered down Josh Lyman from The West Wing.Russell: Let's see the results, I'll let you know. Apparently she's going to be his intern because it's not like there's oversight for that kind of gig to ensure a meritocracy and avoid nepotism. So obviously, Stevie and Russell are going to be close. Side complaint - Stevie mentioned the 100 compressions per minute, but didn't hum "Staying Alive" under her breath? WTF? Come on CBS, get with it! Okay, I get it, they'll share a special bond now that she's saved his life. I mean doesn't everybody visit their mom's work frenemy whom they barely know outside of begging for a recommendation letter in the hospital? Russell's hospitalization had it's ups and downs and awkward moments of Stevie reading to him in bed and then kind of but not really explaining what she was doing there. He thinks I don't know he cheats on his diet when he comes. He thinks I don't know he cheats on his diet when he comes home reeking of pâté. To be fair, the scene where the kids interrupted the argument felt really natural and was well choreographed, but I just wanted resolution on one thing, and was denied. Being concerned about mental health is only natural after their father, but maybe he was reading too much into it. Henry and his (younger? really?) brother fought, but were interrupted and there was no resolution. Niece joins army, dad and daughter bother worried about each other.īut then it just.fizzled. I really wanted to be excited about Henry's family coming to visit, especially since Tim Daly's real life daughter was part of it. However, there were some things that didn't work as well as that. The characters and the actresses seem to really connect, and that always makes me want more. It's really too bad that Juliet's in prison, since Elizabeth could use a non work buddy for advice more regularly. Putting aside the implausibility of a sitting Secretary visiting a prison (problematic from both political and logistics standpoints), I thought that they handled the awkwardness of both not seeing each other for a while and having one friend send the other up the river really well.

Their initial reintroduction was so sweetly bizarre.
