"You have a unibrow that you tend to regularly"

So wow, "Beholder" turned out to be a really good ep with a surprising, and heartbreaking twist.

Some of the highlights:

• Dorian answering Kennex's phone and the resulting conversation - "She holo-blocked you. Perhaps you're boring." Ha!

• Stahl actually had something to do in this episode! Another, bigger glimpse into the world of the Chromes. But there's still a lot of backstory we're missing. Why does she so resent being a Chrome? Becoming a cop was obviously a rebellion of sorts.

• Rudy as a child model? LOL!

• Favorite lines, all courtesy of Dorian:
"Let's replace your robotic leg with a tree stump. Or a shovel."
"You chew with your mouth open, you lie about putting gel in your hair and you snore."
That last one killed me - what's he doing talking to Kennex's smart bed, eh?? Oh the can of worms that just opened up! LOL!

• I actually felt really sorry for the bad guy (who I will always remember from SPN's episode Monster Movie). I never saw that twist coming with the girl. Brilliant.

• That was such an odd end scene with Kennex, like it was just kind of tacked on at the last minute. I was hoping that Dorian would walk up and they'd go get that drink together.

So next week is the season (series?) finale already. Previews look really good. I don't want it to end, though! Still a bad sign that there's been no word on renewal. :-(

What did you guys think of Beholder?

Still "Looking" good, Scott!

OMG, SCOTT BAKULA KISSING ANOTHER MAN!….kinda. Unfortunately he didn't return the kiss so it didn't turn out like I'd hoped. [sigh] But we're getting closer!

As if you couldn't tell, I watched the new episode of Looking last night. Man, I wanted to like this show. I wanted to love this show. But six episodes in (of an 8 ep season) and it's just not happening for me. :-(

I could just care less about Agustin and his boyfriend and now their threesome with CJ. Boooooring.

Patrick is adorable but I just don't like Richie. I see zero chemistry between them.

Dom and Lynn are awesome together (which is why I was disappointed the kiss didn't go anywhere). I really had to laugh, because just yesterday morning I wrote the exact same dialogue that Dom said, "Why can't two gay men just be friends?" in my new Star Trek Enterprise story. Archer (played by Scott Bakula) says that same line to another person about he and Trip.

Patrick and Kevin - my second favorite part of the show next to Dom and Lynn. They both need to drop their useless boyfriends and hook up, because that would be freaking awesome.

My biggest issue with Looking are the performances of so many of the actors (Agustin, his boyfriend, CJ and Ritchie). The shining stars are Jonathan Groff, Scott Bakula and Russell Tovey. They're the more experienced and it shows. I truly wish the show would have been focused around them (and Dom) as the main characters. Now that would have been a freaking awesome show. But unfortunately it's not set up that way. If the pilot for the NCIS spin off gets picked up I'm sure that means that Scott won't be available to do Looking anymore and that will probably be the end of me watching. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed we get a true make-out scene before that happens. :-)
