Awake: Getting a Move On

NBC's reality-splitting drama returned to the conspiracy storyline this week in a largely uneventful episode.

Another good episode

9.0

This episode was quite hilarious at the beginning, when Michael got his clue. He was at the drive thru for Ricky's Tacos, and he heard where he needed to investigate. When he got to the window, he asked the clerk if he said something, but the clerk said no. So, Michael starts doing what he does so well, throwing his partners for a loop by asking about old cases and odd ball questions about them. One thing that did catch my attention, was the phone call the police chief got from some business man, and she affirmed Michael wasn't close. I also like the part where the female psych asked him the question about him getting the info from the taco microphone. I couldn't help but giggle at that. I agree with pedroman01, I am looking forward to next week Thursday as well.moreless

Suicide and Devils!

9.5

By pedroman01, Apr 14, 2012

Again, I walk away from my Thursday night stoked about what I have just witnessed. Awake is so good each and every week and the last two are back to being top notch, after just decent episodes. Again, both cases were interesting, especially the suicide one. I was not totally surprised about her being pregnant or the father doing it, but it was still a crazy revelation. I also was thinking that the tattooed guy was the brother but then remembered it was a tiger, then the revelation came and was pleased with myself. I think the years of watching CSI has helped with my detective work. I am always interested to see how they connect the two and to see which world is giving the clue and which one he uses it in to solve. Unfortunately, I can't figure out which one is first, I think they switch it up every episode. They brought back the conspiracy again, and again, it is done only in the red world, which makes me wonder if that is the true world. There was not too much family things again, but I am interested to see how Michael will convince Hannah to stay in LA. I think they will stay (or at least him) but how is the question. Looking forward to next Thursday!moreless

- Michael: Han Solo didn't look this good coming out of carbonite.
  
  Referencing the 1980 movie Star War Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Darth Vader plans to seal Luke Skywalker in carbonite, and tests the process on Han Solo, his captive. Bounty hunter Boba Fett then leaves with the block of carbonite to deliver Han to Jabba the Hutt and collect his bounty. Han's fate is resolved in the next movie, Return of the Jedi (1983).
