Though it’s been eight weeks it’s still hard for me not to imagine Will McAvoy spouting off some of Jeff Daniels’ dialogue from Dumb&Dumber. I wish they would once and for all get the misogyny out of their system, as this is the one aspect of the show that bothers me on a weekly basis. Though it’s gotten better, the fact that some of it still remains, even in “The Blackout: Part One”, is a bit of a bummer. Now I wasn’t able to watch the show Sunday when it aired, but one of my coworkers at Dish tweeted me a link to the new episode at dishonline.com, where I was able to check it out on my iPad for free. Olivia Munn’s performance alone will warrant a re-watch. Her character is my favorite so far; seeing her go from the comedy she did with Attack of The Show to this more dramatic fair has been pretty cool to see. Anyway, great review, and I’ll check back with you next week to see what you thought of the conclusion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953256420624956215noreply@blogger.com
