episode: 3D

The Bottom Line: "Superb"

I found this episode as the best one so far. It was the first time something really really clicks and in a not expected way. I'm talking about one of the final scences between Sam and Billie.

Sam's whole platonic-idolization with Heather(TV Comercial Girl) become real when he run into her and she accepted to date him. The severely interrupted date ended when Sam cought both Billie and Heather making out in the girls room. This one scene was predictable as we'd already noticed the absence and delay of the girls, but what was a mind blowing was the dialog between Sam and Billie.

- Sam: You are so terrified of getting everything you want, aren't you? Love, intimacy, friendship, great sex, all rols into one. It does scared you as shit, doesn't it?
- Billie: Are you gonna give me all that Sam? Is that what this is about? Do you wanna be my boyfriend Sam? Then why don't you just say it, instead of bringing your stupid little TV girlfriend to make me jealous and having it backfired?
- Sam: That's not why I brought her here.
- Billie: Then why don't you just tell me the truth... Tell me you are in love with me.
- Sam: I'm in love with you.
- Billie: Hahaha, what colour, what colour is the wrapper of a Ne-Mo's cake?
- Sam: Did you hear what I just said?
- Billie: Mmm, yeah, I heard it, answer my question.
- Sam: Yeallow, with black and blue writting.
(Billie gives Sam her back)
- Billie: What colour are my eyes?
- Sam: Brown
(the camara focus in her green eyes, she smiles)
- Billie: You wanna tell me again the part about being in love with me? That part is always my favorite!
- Sam: Losing your stupid little test is more important that the fact that I just told you that I'm in love with you?
- Billie: Yes! You are an active yankee Sam! Why would I want to sign up with that?
- Sam: Because real life is messy sometimes, and I'm in love with you... and you are in love with me.
- Billie: I'm not in love with you, Sam. But you break up with your cake and there may be a chance of a conversation.
- Sam: What's the rule? Tell me exactly what I need to do to get you in my arms.
- Billie: No binging for 90 days, that'd be a start.
- Sam: Done.

Billie betraying Sam by making out with Heather, and above all, knowing that she will get cought, was a huge call for Sam's attention, which was even more clear when she said the thing about the jealousy and called Heather his stupid little TV girlfriend. Sam confessing his love for Billie, was a touchy moment but the colour game made us doubt about that so called love, and it was really cleverly played by comparing her with the cake. We practicaly believed in him again as Sam said over and over that he loves her, and by telling her he would do anything to be with her. Billie picked the one thing that is an actual danger for Sam, what make us think that she really cared about him...
In the end we see Billie kissing and taking a cab with Heather. And we see Sam looking everywhere for the NeMo's cakes. After an unsuccessfully quest, he breaks into the locked drawer in his office and finally eats them.
Amazing episode: Bravo!

show: Starved

The Bottom Line: "Good"

I watched the pilot asumming this was some sort of new comedy and as the show was developed I realize I was wrong.
We get to see here the lives of four different people with issues, as all of us have. The main topics in here are food, weight, looks and acceptance (to the world and yourself). Although it's just the beginning, we can relate this topics with the characters and how they get effected by them.
Sam, who is the main character, is 38 years old and wants to find the right women, he is obsessed with his looks and his eating behavior. You can see how hard is for him to avoid sweets, it is a extreme temptation, a real addiction for him but when the moment of looking for a girlfriend comes, he wants nothing but a model prototype.
It took me by surprise the way "Starved" turned, it has it's funny parts but it's so much deeper. I really think it's gonna be a good show.

show: Veronica Mars

The Bottom Line: "Superb"

This show is so original, it got really good and new ideas.
When I first start watching it I thought it would be a good but predictable show, but the end blow my mind completely, the development of the caracters was impecable, you can relate to them, understand their moves... this show really gets to me, so I hope it will be as good as it is or even better(if that's posible)

show: Weeds

The Bottom Line: "Good"

At first it was like "ok, what's this about?" cause I couldn't relate a mother to the title of the show, then everything turned into a funny/posible situation which was really great, I love the 2 kids, and the older kid's girlfriend is really funny...
I enjoy my time watching this, so I hope it gets really interesting, I'm beting on this show, so watch it!
