Shamus McAnally

Seemed really weird to have both brothers move away from their typical female interests, particularly in the same episode.

I wonder if this could be substantial for Evan; I could see this leading to something while Divya figures out what she's doing.

TheKing

Loved when Evan realized he was a dirty whore.

New female doctor was far less annoying here than she was in the other episodes.

The medical stories were both pretty good as well.

Charlie Goose

I guess Hank isn't a practicing Jew, since he seemed to really enjoy the lobster macaroni.

And what New Yorker eats pizza with a knife and fork?

Fist of Doom

That was Evan's attempt at being "cultured" while he was getting his high dollar makeover.

Ropes Pierre

I am switching my vote, from Divya's white pants to Jill, but only if she doesn't have her hair pulled back.

Episode 8 of 18

Will catch this later tonight.

Fist of Doom

at the actress who played the stripper.

Great episode all around. I like that they're fleshing out the character of the competing doctor, and not just making her a bitch. at Evan thinking he killed Raj.

I always figured the writers would find some way to stop Divya from marrying Raj. Looks like I may have been wrong.

Ropes Pierre

Was Jill's outfit supposed to be that bad, i felt like i was watching the Hooker Episode of Charlie's Angels.

TheKing

They were half drunk and buying from a store that was open late. I'm sure the hooker look was intentional...and greatly appreciated.

Fist of Doom

I only wish Divya had gone for the bare-shouldered look, too.

Red Dog

Yes. Karma was quite the hottie.

And lets hope the writers have her marry him. Better him than the tool that would be the predictable thing to do.




This was the best episode of this series to date by far.

Poor Bill Bellamy. The best he can do nowadays is a guest gig on Royal Pains? Ouch. Reminds me of how I miss Fastlane.

Barings

Who marry who? Divya marry Raj? Raj marry Karma?

I get the feeling the writers aren't even sure what they want to do with Divya. There's been a couple of hints that she's supposed to end up with Evan (a surprise kiss in the first season and Divya's mother's psychic saying that Divya will find love through another), but it's been so low-key that I can't quite tell if they want to pursue this storyline.

Man, she had a smokin' bod.

Shamus McAnally

I can't speak for Red Dog, but the way I took his comment was what I was feeling as well. I always thought the writers would end up showing Raj to have some secret or being a cad and Evan sweep in to save the day/end up with Divya.

At one time, I hoped that happened too. Not that I still don't want it to happen either, but I see the benefit of her marrying Raj and Evan moving on to someone, only to have them find each other down the road. I just don't want to see something forced too quickly.

Oh, and because I was going to ask before I found them, here's a memory from this show:

Red Dog

What Shamus said. Divya marrying Raj rather than Evan the tool swooping in.

Episode 9 of 18

Like Burn Notice, 3 more left this summer.

Ropes Pierre

Based on this episode, I think in order of acting chops/skills it is :

Divya's white pants
Jill
the chick who plays Peck
Evan's low level muttonchops.
any kids/teens/superfluous family members
the guy who wore a baseball cap in the Sopranos episode "Whitecaps"

Fist of Doom

Don't forget Marcia Gay Harden. She's at least as good as Evan's muttonchops.

Divya's white capris should be up for an Emmy. I'm outraged they're not, and am seriously considering an angry email to the Academy. Or Association or whatever the hell those Emmy dudes call themselves.

Shamus McAnally

Wow! Divya rocked the skirts tonight!

The story about guests at the wedding was seen a mile away, but not bad. I thought the whole Divya storyline (about the hospital stay) was interesting in terms of her story development. I hope next week's preview signals the imminent demise of Hank's most recent bad choice.

sven

I think Jill and Divya need to get drunk and make out.

mraw

I'm really sick of that new doctor. She's ruining this show for me. Even when she's being nice (which is rare), she looks mean and vindictive. She was decent in Damages, but Royal Pains is too light of a show for someone like her.

Did anyone else notice that the wife in this episode was the sister from Home Alone? "Kevin, you're what the French call les incompetents"

Episode 11 of 18

Next week is the midseason finale

USA just announced that the show will return in January. No air date yet. It will be paired on Thursday's with a new show called "Facing Kate" with Sarah Shahi, formerly of Life. That's why Burn Notice is returning alot earlier in November.

Divya seems to have traded in the white pants for some very short skirts. I'm not complaining.

Yay!! Divya is back! It will be interesting to see how Royal Pains does on such a crowded night.
