The second half of the 2nd season returns next week. The
good news is that they've already renewed it for a third
season! I'm very glad because I love this show.
TNT sent me two episodes to review ahead of time.
"Curveball" airs February 25th. The FBI are called in when
an autistic man is found to have run over someone with a
train. I don't want to spoil it for you because there is a
baseball angle to it. The only thing I would say bad about
the episode is that the autistic guy seemed to have copied
his style from Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man". Otherwise, they
did a good job with it. One of my favorite actors,
Brad Beyer from "Jericho", "Royal Pains" and "NCIS" etc.
plays one of Daniel's hallucinations. It looks like Kate and
Donnie are still having a bit of flirting. I guess they want
to back away from Kate and Daniel for now. There is a very
silly subplot where a young genius is visiting the campus,
and Lewickie has to help entertain him. It's pretty funny at
the end with LeVar Burton's character Dean Haley.
The second episode "Brotherhood" is a much more serious
episode involving race relations. We get to meet Lewickie's
brother, who's been in many foster homes. He's accused of
killing someone. I won't say it's the best written episode,
but it has its moments. I look forward to seeing more of
this season's episodes. I just love Eric McCormack and the
rest of the cast.
