  • James + Katie finally get it together.

    "Perfect"
    By histnerd, Jan 19, 2008 Report Abuse
    I loved this episode for exactly the reason that I love this show. James and Katie. James invites Katie to Lisbeth's wedding and Katie backpedals on their burgeoning relationship. She's told James that she's back with her ex and in any case kissing him was like kissing her brother. Obviously to James (and the viewers) this is a lie. So when James runs into Katie's (married) ex, whose name escapes me (and is irrelevant in any case), and he tells James that he and Katie have been history, James is on to her game. Lots of other stuff happens with the other "big shots" that I don't really care about, except that we finally see Janelle (the fabulous Charisma Carpenter). But by the end of the episode, Katie has shown up to the wedding and she's gorgeous, and James knows it.moreless

  • Truly one of the best episodes 'ever'. I just knew these actors were excellent at what they do, but tonight they really surprised me. From the sequence of events that happened with James and Katie, to the "knock-out" punch that came from Brody. Bravo!moreless

    From beginning to end, this show has turned out to be the best one I've seen yet. Laughs and surprises from start to finish (some I sort of thought was coming, others I never would have suspected.), from a show that gets better and better each time it's presented. I am on the edge of my seat just waiting for the next sequence of episodes (2 for right now) to be shown. James and Katie didn't disappoint me one bit (can't wait for episode 10), and what took place with Brody Johns was unbelievable, and poor Duncan what shame. Great!moreless
