Prashant Gupta/FXIt was a bit of a guest star party on TV tonight! Lea Michele showed up on Sons of Anarchy, while The Mindy Project brought in both Niecy Nash and the arguable queen of television, Shonda Rhimes. Elsewhere, The Flash was excellent once again while Agents of SHIELD went dancing! It's time for yet another installment of our Rants and Raves!
RANT: Sons of Anarchy: We used to think Juice was worth saving, but after he offered up club secrets to the Mayans for safe passage to Mexico?! That's the moment when we finally lost all faith in the messed-up Son. Offering to rat to another, rival MC is worse than being blackmailed into ratting for the cops!
RAVE: Sons of Anarchy: We've got to give major props to Katey Sagal for the moment when Gemma learns that Jax has Juice, and she realizes her entire world is about to come crumbling down. That abject horror and panic was so clear on her face that we were shaking and scared for her—even though we still haven't forgiven her for what she did to Tara!
RAVE: Sons of Anarchy: Yes, OK, we kept waiting for a motorcycle-themed Broadway number, but Lea Michele was pretty excellent in her role as a waitress/mother/smoker. More roles like this, please!
RAVE: Agents of SHIELD: Coulson and Melinda May's undercover jaunt to a fancy party as "Charles and Heidi," complete with laser grids, gave us some serious Chuck flashbacks, in the best way. Melinda May casually walking through said laser grids, however, was all SHIELD.
RAVE: Agents of SHIELD: We would watch Ming-Na Wen fight Ming-Na Wen many more times over, please and thank you.
RAVE: The Flash: Barry's opening narration, dismissing the idea of rehashing his superhero origin story, was perfect. We love Arrow (like so, so much), but Ollie's insanely dramatic recap intro quickly went from being a fun thing to try to memorize to a thing we skip over.
RANT: The Flash: Do no writers realize that there are other tragic backstories aside from dead wives/boyfriends/mothers/etc etc?
RAVE: Supernatural: Demon Dean is at least still human enough to quote The Princess Bride, but then he threatened Sam and referred to the Impala as "just a car." There may be no saving him.
RAVE: New Girl: No joke, totally true fact: We actually sat and researched the price of a landline phone during this episode. Now if only we could hire Jake Johnson as our answering machine…
RAVE: Selfie: "I know what you're thinking: What does Magic Michael have to teach me? The answer, my friends, is everything." We feel about a 9.5 for this episode on the Tatum Scale.
RAVE: The Mindy Project: We would give almost anything to play beer pong with Shonda Rhimes. She has all the Scandal secrets!
RAVE: The Mindy Project: Niecy Nash: Perfect. Danny Castellano pretending to be distraught over Mindy's kiss with Niecy Nash: We may never recover from that immaculately tousled perfection.
RAVE: Marry Me: There's just one word to describe having Casey Wilson back on our TV screens on a regular basis (aside from our nonstop Happy Endings rewatches): A-mah-zing. (We will never ever ever ever not be sad about Happy Endings. Ever.)
RANT: Chicago Fire: That was not Belmont station, guys. That was State Street and you know we know it.
RAVE: About a Boy: It's back and just as funny as ever, partly thanks to one graphic birth reenactment scene. We missed you, show!
RANT: About a Boy: But are we really supposed to believe for one second that Will might actually sell his house? (Please don't sell your house, Will.)
What did you watch tonight? Rant and rave with us in the comments!
