I'm not loving that they are still trying to shove Rebecca and Cappie down our throats...it still makes me gag--especially when they have Cappie adopt a very similar mentor/older brother role with her as he does with Rusty. The only difference is that she makes out with him after he teaches her a lesson...
As for Casey, her new boy was definitely a himbo. When she's already got the two fleshed-out characters of Cappie and Evan to pick from, it's hard for the audience to get on board with some random new guy in just one ep. Thankfully, Evan took care of getting "Mr. Purrfect" out of the picture.
But, Evan, buying off Casey's new bf? Oh nooo... Actually, they've done such a good job of making me like Evan over the last several episodes, that I don't really care that he's deviated into bribery. I was just thinking how cute he looked in his sweater vest...
The episode's biggest highlight: Deputy Leo!!!! Yeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!! He's just so adorable. And it's nice to see that instead of just borrowing plot points from Veronica Mars (a character named "Beaver," anyone?), Greek has gone the extra mile and is employing some of VM's actors.
The episode's biggest flaw: No Dale. Enough said.
Quotes and thoughts:
- Rebecca: "Isn't gambling a gateway behavior back to bitchery?"
- Beaver was braiding that other guy's hair!
- Rebecca: "And he's the creepy perv who keeps 'accidentally' walking in on me during intimate moments and judging me." (She's kind of got a point there.)
- Cappie: "She is kind of like a sexy Bobby Knight."
- Calvin does do a nice Tyra impersonation.
- Deputy Leo is coming on a bit strong with the flowers. That seems like Rusty's over-the-top behavior of a few eps ago.
- Rebecca: "God, Rusty, you're trying to get them to donate money, not get in your van!"
- Beaver: "Rusty's upset because of...science."
- The Cappie/Rusty ventriloquist dummy routine was great. Especially with the "I've got to tell you something," "Should we take this upstairs?" exchange while Rusty was still sitting on Cappie's lap.
- Calvin: "Ashleigh, have you ever been to a gay movie?"Ashleigh: "Does The Devil Wears Prada count?"
- Cappie thanks that something made Rebecca crazy this week? What about every other week?
- I'll gladly accept $500 to stay away from Casey. She's not that great. How much will you give me to avoid Rebecca?
Greek worship Veronica Mars ! It's for sure and it's a very good thing !!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who notices Greek's continual similarities to VM. It does keep coming up again and again. And, you're right, it is a good thing.
