Incredibly stupid episode

"Mediocre"

By sequoa84, Mar 17, 2011

Well, you just can't create stories out of thin air and add subtle details so that viewers rack their brains to read between the lines and make out inferences. No, you just can't. And the relationship triangles, square, pentagons, and circles never cease to exist in this show. Addison is attracted to Noah, Noah has a wife, Addison treats his wife, Noah likes Addison, but none of this will work. Common, give me a break. Sam looks pathetic, Cooper is gay Pete reminds me of a manwhore, Naomi seems like she's horny all the time. And what on earth is the deal with Dell? First, he is this crazy prepubescent kid in love with Naomi, next he has a kid, and now he like this total loser and cries like a girl.

Private Practice, thanks for adding a new dimension to drama. And that dimension is stupidity.moreless

"Perfect"

By Xanderfan11085, Mar 17, 2011

This episode made me feel bad for Dell too, his ex taking his daughter and i wanted to hit her (His Ex)for leaving with out saying a word, but with the loss of his daughter, he was able to talk to a mother who was in denial about her child,he was the best person for the job i think, also I loved that he got more Screen time.

Didn't care much for the addison/noah/wife, thing i find it a little over rated. I also found Sam a little funny in this episode, hidding be hind a plant just to check naomi out. Naomi seems a little blind at that i mean he knocked whats his name on his butt when she was flirting with him, she had to of seen that. Pete and Neomi's sewing their oats, funny.

all and all i really liked this episode.moreless

"Superb"

By hrgaffney, Mar 23, 2009

I enjoyed this episode of Private Practice as each character moved on in their storylines. I liked that Addison held out against Noah, despite her feelings for him as she did not want to hurt his wife. Violet's pregnancy has moved on a stage and the scene when she has the scan with Pete with her and finds out it is a boy was really sweet. I'm not sure Naomi's doing herself a lot of favours but hopefully she'll be able to settle down soon. She doesn't seem to have had much to do medically for a while now. And it was so nice to see Charlotte and Violet getting on so well after all the anguish there. Good stuff!moreless
