ATENTION! EVERYONE TO OPERATING ROOM 1. WE HAVE A MULTI CASUALTY INCIDENT INCOMING! CHARACTERS, BELIEVEABILITY, DIALOGUE, ALL CIRCLING THE DRAIN! I've gotta do something. We're going to do a plot transplant. Get me a CBC, A DHL, a FedEx, and a BLT STAT! And for Chrissakes, hold the mayo this time! C'mon people, let's move! Jeez, do you think maybe they could do away with just one medical drama cliche for this show? I'm always curious about who is listening off-camera to the doctor bark out orders? Aside from the rampant violations of medical protocols and general incompetence that seems to pop up all the time, why is it that the hospital in question, no matter the location, is the Only. Trauma. Center. In. Town? I do have one idea to offer. Make Nick the Chief of Everything at the hospital. That way he can do any surgery, violate any protocol or state health law, and he doesn't even have to physically assault ol' Mr. Stick in His Ass Chief Financial Officer, who, for some reason, hangs around the Night Shift an awful lot. I'll give it another episode, but it's making its way down the list of things to watch.

I thought that it was mostly his reaction to her anti-everything attitude. He expects engineers to be button down personalities, not wild and crazy. Just my thoughts. Of course, as the series progresses, she will win his grudging respect, etc. If the show follows the standard plot line, anyway. My favorite moment: The garage door opening, and Gordon exclaiming, "You said you wouldn't be home until Monday." And his wife replying, "This IS Monday". More coffee, Gordon.

Mmmm. Psilocybin and chocolate, my favorite. Now, see if I drank that just before watching Revolution, it might just have made sense. I rather liked the discussion, however cut short, about Jerusalem Syndrome and the conflict between science and religious epiphany. They should have gone farther into that instead of bringing out an outright cure for Jacob by the end of the episode. Good luck billing him for your services.

While I usually don't go for Jason Jones' segments, this one/series was quite good. Clean Chit! Who would have thought that a political party actually uses doubles to do its campaigning? And his command, "Don't turn around, it spoils everything" to his own double getting into the Ganges was too perfect.

Yeah, as soon as the lawyer said the case collapsed, I gulped and said "Here it comes, Boyd." A little bit of dark humor at the reunion: "Are those bullet holes?" Tim and Rachel: You won, but next time, put your suspects on the ground, face down from the start. And go to the range, 'cause you missed the first few shots from 20'. Or bring a shotgun. That scene with Kendall. Rayland knew exactly how to pull his strings, and I really hurt for Kendall. Having said that, relative to the line above, killing someone, even in the line of duty, should have a much greater effect on the marshals than is shown. They are human. I wonder what Raylan is going to tell Wynona now.

Shay has a first name??? Just kidding, although I can't remember ever hearing it. She does need to do something else here, just to get that big scarlet V (for victim) off her forehead.

I'll be back, just to see what happens. Maybe they can tie it in with the end of Prohibition.
