Synopsis:



Mrs. Tom Cruise alert!!

For the most part I liked this more than the first episode this year; I'm glad to see Eli and Maggie back working together as I feel it's the strongest part of the show. The only thing that didn't really work for me was the Kate Cruise portion of the episode.

I really dislike Katie Holmes more and more every time I see her. She was the worst thing in Batman Begins (although Maggie Gyllenhaal was definitely not better). I was indifferent to her prior to the whole Tom Cruise thing since I didn't watch DC, but given her oversaturation, she just irks me to no end now.

As for the series, I really like it, but they need to have Eli and Maggie together on screen more. That was probably my favorite part of the show last year. I can't remember, did she get married or is she still engaged?

Still engaged. IIRC she made some mention of wedding preparations either this or last episode.

Enjoyed everything but Katie Holmes. Have just about had enough of her. I actually would drop this show if she'd become a regular. Definitely want more Katey Sagal though!

Wow, I despise KH and wasn't looking forward to the episode much. And as it began and she was doing her dancing/singing I thought "ug this is awful". But her appearance after that I found kinda good. It REALLY surprised me at the end when I thought she was actually good in the episode. Or maybe it because I was watching in bed, w/ my glasses off, and nearly ready to fall asleep.

This was not a very good episode. Katie Holmes wasn't so great either. They've been raving how great a singer she is but that's not what I heard. I couldn't make a word of what she sang either. Eli falls for her just like that? Doesn't compute! And has he forgotten he had a vision in the last season where he's apparently married to Maggie and they have a child together? If his father's notebook is accurately predicting his son's future, he should be reading it all the way through and exploring that.
