I must make one fairly dumb

I must make one fairly dumb note - it still continues to be painfully adorable when Don calls distressed girls/ladies, from assault victims to Megan, "sweetie".
Dang strike. Come back, show!

I know. It's totally right

I know. It's totally right up there with when he calls Charlie "Buddy."

Another fab recap

Hey spy. Another good one!! Oh dear, what ever will we do now!! I have just finished watching Season 1 and 2 and will start watching Season 3 again, but what will I do after that.

I will keep checking just in case there is good news!!

At the rate talks are going,

At the rate talks are going, even if they do settle, it probably won't be in time to salvage the season.

For one, after saying something, I hope I'm proved wrong.

great recap! did u notice at

great recap! did u notice at the end of the ep when amita is pouring her orange juice her ponchoish sleeve keeps changing position. one second its on her shoulder and the next it has side down her arm and the next second its up on her shoulder again.

There's an even bigger continuity error with Alan and the groceries, but usually I don't point them out unless they're particularly hilarious.

Video missing

Uh...Spy, what the heck happened to the second half of your recap? Video is no longer available??? WHyy???

That's strange, I just

That's strange, I just clicked on it, and it worked fine.
Someone else reported a problem tonight, but all the links are correct. I'm wondering if there's an issue with Youtube.
Thanks for letting me know either way.

Very, very fun recap, even

Very, very fun recap, even if the topic and dynamics were totally NOT. I'm glad to have had you between me and Ivy Kirke because if I'd had to experience her unfiltered by your awesome snark, there would've likely been an ugly fist-through-tv incident, and that would have been sharp and pointy in unpleasant ways. So thanks for taking one for the team there, Spy. And here's to actually competent people like you (hoists b33r)!

W00t! B33r! Thank you as

W00t! B33r! Thank you as that made it totally worth it. Oh, Ivy was infuriating!

Very not funny episode

Yeah, this episode gave me the creeps and I really really wanted to punch Ivy Kirke in the face, or something. People like her, I just, can't stand her. And then law enforcement always wonders why people don't trust them. gee, whiz. I am also glad for your snark. In fact, I think I almost like the Audio/visual recaps better than the written ones. It's good to hear the snark. And I really really hope that whenever Numb3rs does come back, they do tie up the loose ends. And David, OMG, how could we have no David in this episode?!?! That was just wrong.

Theoriginalspy's picture

You could tell this wasn't

You could tell this wasn't intended to be the finale as David wasn't there. It is just wrong as he's a character I could take or leave at the beginning, but I love him now (in case it wasn't obvious).
The audio was just in support of the WGA, but maybe I'll do one or two once everything is set to rights in Hollywood.

Evilness

Oh, thank you for the repeated yelling at Ivy. I wanted to mutilate her for being such an awful (and kinda unbelievable character).

You're right, there was nothing funny about the episode - 'kay, Don and Alan were funny at the end, and definitely Megan's boots - but you still made the recap excellent. Hopefully there will be a next season!

Theoriginalspy's picture

Oh, there'll be another

Oh, there'll be another season. The problem is that when that next season will be.

My worry is if it gets too

My worry is if it gets too late, that there might not be. Hopefully I'm wrong.

It would have to go on a long long time for that. We'll probably see a return come September '08.

Great Recap

Loved your video recaps spy. I think all of us agree on wanting to send Ivy off to somewhere not so nice. Any one want to start up a committee?? I'll gladly sign up. Loved the scenes between Larry and Megan. Also loved how Alan came and disturbed Don, but let the man sleep! Here's hoping that the strike gets cleared up and we get a few more eppesodes.

Theoriginalspy's picture

I'll start the committee.

I'll start the committee. It'll be called the "Poison Ivy" project and its goal is clearly stated in the title.
In fact, that would be the best way to have her return! Imagine investigating who poisoned Ivy? Imagine all the suspects!

Great Recap

Hey Spy,

Sorry for the slow uptake, thanks for the fantastic video recaps for the last two eps. I think I may prefer them over the written form. And what's with people thinking that Canadians have accents? Do we really have accents? Oh well. Anyways, thanks again keep up the great work. I hope to see you continue the video recaps even though the strike is coming to an end.

I'm so excited about the strike being over. If I get more eppesode but then I'd have to readjust my season 4 recap. Maybe I'd have to change the song from "Can't take that away from me" to "Gimme more" as a laugh.
I'm glad you enjoyed the audio recaps.

strike

Spy,
So i was reading the newspaper this morning and they had a note about the strike. They listed some of the shows that have been announced for return. Numb3rs has been listed for a return on April 4th with 6 new episodes. Well you got half your wish and hopefully David will be in the season finally!

If we get six new eppesodes,

If we get six new eppesodes, David better be in every damn one of them.

Don

Spy,
Can July 6th be Be Kind To Don Day because that's my birthday and Don's my favorite character and my sister says I'm evil.

Be kind to Don day is

Be kind to Don day is everyday in this fandom. Believe you me, that almost everyone wants to give Don their day :)

Brother's proposal

Spy,
the above comment was posted by my brother. I know this to be true 'cause I typed it for him. I have a warning: DO NOT FEED HIS EVIL NATURE!!!!!! I HAVE DOZENS OF PEOPLE TO TESTIFY TO HIM BEING POSSESSED!!!!! HE IS EVIL!!!!! And he mocks your accent, likes Liz and even denied your existence for a undefined period of time. And if you don't believe me, well, let's say the world is ending. He can be very persuasive and is known to walk about the neighborhood with 10 knives on him. But he could possibly help you with your Poison Ivy project 'cause I hate her too. So, if you get threats involving eggs and pie, please know it's him and not somebody else. Thanks for listening.

Colby in the Lineup

I just caught the re-run. Colby should definitely wear the uniform again- it really worked for him!
