The Night Shift 2.07 Best Laid Plans
T.C. is so excited to be a father! I like this new jump in his step, it shows him and Jordan really working together. It also takes away from his addict sister-in-law's behaviour as of lately.

Ragosa and Topher were on point with their father instincts tonight. I like how they're trying to find ways to protect their daughters and want to outsmart them, it really showed a joking side to everything in this episode.

Kenny looks like he won't be good with Krista for a long time. I'm sad the whole group isn't getting along the way they should, it's much better when staff have a fun environment.

Paul got so much support from Scott tonight! Paul's dad dropping in the way he did was so overbearing and suffocating. Paul definitely needed Scott to help stand up for his goals and happiness. Paul looked really hurt from the simplest of rejections from his dad, and it was the most basic thing anybody would want; TIME. He wanted to spend quality time with his dad, nothing else.

I especially enjoyed T.C. and Drew giving their patient a second chance in getting his life back together and starting over.

The Following 3.07 The Hunt
Max is letting her guard down too much. She's way too careless with her injury and keeps throwing herself out into the field (possibly to avoid Mike and Tom?) I'd rather see her with Mike for the sake of stability.

Ryan's really unwell with all the Joe imagery going on. If Joe actually gets the death penalty, will Ryan's mind be at ease or worsen? I don't think he'll improve his condition if he's used to shutting everybody out and committing to the job.

Michael Ealy's acting is on another level! He bounces in and out of his cover life and murderous secret like no other, really impressed he's the new villain in the show! I have nothing bad to say about Theo as the new addition. I also want Mark to come back. Him and Theo are much better than this Duncan guy. Manny Montana's cameo was much appreciated! It fuelled my Graceland nostalgia even with minimal Tom scenes.

Bates Motel 3.05 The Deal
Norma's behaviour really doesn't make sense. She's wayward and is never consistent with what she wants. She may put Norman's needs ahead of hers, but she doesn't use logic to do anything right.

The Norman-Dylan fight was bound to happen. Norman is attached to his mom and doesn't like to see anybody get close to her. It almost looks like he's unnaturally obsessed with her because she's always suppressing his psychotic illness. I wonder if this is a taste of how the actual psycho comes about. Once he gets his mother taken away, his subconscious takes over his entire state of mind.

Romero is so supportive that Sheriff Badass should be his name. Walking in with Norma to declare she has the USB key hidden away safely is kind of ballsy. Norma was insane for making all sorts of demands, but it's either going to go well or south if she didn't make claims clear.
