Meh episode.

I missed this since every channel here had and contines to have coverage of the fire. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

I missed it too. Last week's sucked hard too. I'm just glad the fire didn't happen on Tuesday during Amazing Race or Wednesday during Lost. I would have been reallly pissed then.

Mike falls in love with a leggy lady engineer, (Ivana Milicevic) in town for an engineering conference. Mike has a hard time impressing her because of the many hats he wears at the Montecito: Valet/Surveillance/Engineer, and Ivana's character gives him the brush-off because she thinks Mike's really just a valet, but Mike stays persistent and proves her wrong because he feels she's the one. But his stalker-like background checks prove to be his downfall after she warms up to him.

Danny is stuck looking for a high profile cowboy's horse who got loose from his trailer. A little too much man-horse affection towards the conclusion of this subplot for me. Delinda did try to get to know the cowboy better, but she had no chance next to the horse, and neither did the cowboy's manager (I think played the same actress who's in a Dodge commercial playing a waitress who can't quite leave a diner on wheels, so the guy with the truck just hitches the dinner and drags her along, but I digress).

Sam appears to be caught up in a money laundering plan with a hotel guest, and it soon escalates with the FBI brought in and they use Sam as bait to take down a drug cartel. That subplot got a hasty shakedown resolution, but Ed assures Sam that he trust her, and then Ed turns around and has Sam tailed. Cue the mysterious music as the distrust levels rise.

Overall, a so-so episode, though Mike missed out on something pretty good. Doh!

cool ep !

Did anyone notice the very well endowed girl walking through the back of the scene at the pool? She starts behind Sam, coming down the stairs. Then, in the long shot across the pool she's walking around the edge of the pool. Then she ends up at the hut/bar in the middle of the pool.
Mmmm

Las Vegas - 01/03/05
 

"When You Got to Go, You Got to Go", Episode #213.



Cast: James Caan, Josh Duhamel, Molly Sims, Nikki Cox, James Lesure, Marsha Thomason, Vanessa Marcil, Duran Duran.
Producer(s): Gary Scott Thompson, Scott Steindorff, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank.

Original Airdate: January 3, 2005.

Been a while since there has been a new ep of this show...

Isn't it Duranduran? Or now that they have all the original members again, is it back to Duran Duran? Those crazy kids...

There hasn't been many new episodes of any shows lately because of the Christmas holiday. I think that everything should be getting back to normal this week.

Watching Big Ed kick ass, even in slow motion, never gets old.

Loved the conflicting peppermint schnapps stories. Only on Las Vegas could you find Duran Duran and Sly making guest appearances.

I have always been a fan of Molly Sims, but I don't think she has ever looked so good on this show as she did tonight.

I liked the peppermint schnapps stories, too, especially when Danny ended up spitting his out all over the floor.

Anyone else think back to "Misery" when Ed is getting the crap beat out of him earlier in the episode?

So-so episode.

I did

Mary and Danny's Duran Duran story was funny. The rest of the show was average.

I thought it was better than the rest of this season. The married Elvises were beyond stupid, but I liked the rest of it.

What kind of jackass named Brian would use the fake name "Brain" and think he was tricking anyone? Lame.

Where was the woman who played the female Elvis from? I've seen her on some sit-com or something, but couldn't place it.

It wasn't a fake name -- he was dyslexic. There were a few clues in the episode (the "Brain" thing, the misspelling of "receive" in the ransom note, switching the hot and cold taps, and the fact that he was fired for transposing numbers on order forms). That's what makes it so sad -- if Brian had come to Ed, Ed probably would have felt sorry for him and helped him out. Instead, he kidnapped Ed, so Ed kicked his ass.

You know, I thought about that, but didn't think that the clues they gave us were very good. Lots of people misspell "receive" and "Brian". I figured the guy was just an idiot.

And I missed the whole "fired for transposing numbers on order forms" ... that would have helped.

It was very easy to miss -- it only flashed on screen for a second when Ed pulled Brian's personnel form at the Montecito. If you don't pause the show, it goes by too fast to read.

Wow... Mike knows Korean too?

What kind of genius is he?

the bald, black American kind? :hscratch:

I did, and I was hoping for a cameo from Kathy Bates when Ed was back in the casino limp walking with a cane, kinda like the end of Misery.

Oh, I have a TiVo. I just didn't think to rewind and pause that portion of the show. I really only do that during booby scenes. :)

So who was telling the truth, Mary or Danny? I think Danny's spit take on the peppermint schnaps gave him away.

That Sly Stallone cameo was lame. Ooo...he and Ed have the same tattoo on their forearms...oooo...

The majority of this episode was lame. To be fair, some of it was lame, yet still fun. But, the battling married Elvis' were just stupid (as already mentioned by Roto).

I couldn't decide who was telling the truth about the Duran Duran concert. Danny spitting out the Peppermint Schapps could be read either way to me. On the one hand, maybe the memory of that night's binge and purge instantly came back when he tasted the schapps. He had to spit it out, providing Mary's story. But, on the other hand, maybe he can't stand the stuff and it just proves that Mary's the one who chose and drank the entire bottle. I can't decide, but I know enough people who stay away from a particular brand because of a youthful indiscretion, so I'm leaning towards Mary's story. Can't believe I put that much effort into thinking about this! :)

I'd also like to know who the female Elvis was. Her face and voice were very familiar.
