First time I've deleted an episode 15 minutes into it. This season has been a real dud for me.

It wasn't the best episode but the scene where Hardison and Elliot are singing in Lucille was kinda hilarious. How do you meet someone with the name Wilie Riker and not know you're being conned? On the other hand I had to explain who Riker was to my mom so I guess not everyone is a trekkie.

it wasn't that bad. it got better as it gone along. i will admit this season hasn't started off as strong as last year, but maybe because we don't have a real bad guy yet.

I don't know about that. So far all 5 of them have been pretty bad at one point or another.

I hate to be that guy, but what other 2 episodes are you talking about?


I'm surprised that you and TallGuyMe are already writing off the season 3 episodes in. For the record, I've enjoyed the 3 episodes so far. This was one of the more oddball episodes, but not as bad as The Office spoof last season.

Is an over-arching bad guy even needed? Last season had one and I think maybe 3 episodes dealt with him the entire season. Its like they forgot about it and with 2 episodes to go, remembered him and finished his story. Besides, I think the case of the week stuff is better.

That makes the Willie Riker thing even better.
