Re: Royal Pains -- Season Premiere -- "Traffic" -- 6/29/11

Solid season premiere. It's nice to watch this show during the summer. It's a very light medical procedural with some good eye candy.

Diviya looked great in the shorts. It was also nice to have Natalie Zea as the guest star. She's got to be one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood right now.

And Jill leaving for Uruguay....yeah right, not happening.

at Diviya's parents trying to set her up on another arrangement date/marriage. Looks like she's going to be Hank and Evan's new roommate.

There is no way that Hank ever dates Diviya. From episode 1, the producers have wanted to hook up Hank and Jill. If anything, if Evan and Paige fizzle out, I think a Diviya and Evan hookup is more plausible.

It seems like Jank is one of those tv show relationships destined by the writers to be on-again-off-again and to drag out in that manner over the course of the series.

However, I agree with you on Divya, as it *would* be strange to see her date Hank. My comment was more in jest, and was referring more to a late-night, perhaps alcohol-assisted, hook-up where both feel real awkward the next day. Seems unlikely.

So so episode. But, was kinda cool to see Greg Jennings in the cameo role.

They certainly have been taking advantage of showing Reshma Shetty's legs any chance they get... not that I mind.

Matter of fact, there were some good shots of Jill, particularly in that blue dress. And Paige walking away from the coffee shop wasn't bad either.

Speaking of which, I wonder what that news was that she got? Pregnant? Or nothing so obvious?

Don't mind the legs here either.

I thought that Raylin's ex-wife from the previous episode might be a recurring character? The story was that she had come to the Hamptons for the Summer. Would make for some more scenery.

Natalie Zea....she's way too busy. I believe she's the new recurring hot chick on the new season of Californication, which is filming now. Plus, she's a guest star on the new JJ Abrams show Person of Interest and will return for the 3rd season of Justified.

I liked her character last week though.

It seems like she is on everything. I see her more now than when she was a regular on Dirty Sexy Money.

She's going to be on Californication?!

to this season's continuing trend of showing off Divya's legs.

I liked the Eddie storyline and the surprise at the end. This show is at its best when it breaks up the formula a little.

Re: Royal Pains -- "A Man Called Grampa" -- 7/27/11

A pretty good episode. I haven't liked Henry Winkler's character and when I first saw Ed Asner in the show as his father, I thought things might be taking a turn for the worse. But, the characters were okay in this episode. Maybe they'll get better.

And, who's trying to kill Boris? At least that's what I took from the car hit-and-run, Jill's last memory of it, and the obvious thinking going on in Boris' head while standing in the hospital.

I suppose Hank will return and save Jill from an emergency due to the bleed in her head next week?

We at least have an idea who's trying to kill Boris. He said as much earlier in the season. He's got relatives who don't like him and want his money/power for themselves.

Very distracted by Ed Asner's accent that faded in and out.

I wonder if Boris' baby will be put in jeopardy by this new threat. All these problems! I sure am glad I'M not a billionaire!

My friend Laurie has played an EMT on the show a few times. She said that Henry Winkler is the sweetest man in the world.

This episode had Julie Benz playing a lesbian MILF with a hot Asian girlfriend

But then Julie Benz had open wounds and blood gushing out of her nose and mouth

Thanks. I knew she looked awfully familiar.

Have they ever disclosed the "secret" that Paige has apparently told to Hank that Evan doesn't know about? Far as I know, they haven't, yet?

I think my love has shifted from Divya's white pants to Jill. Snaggle tooth and all.

Not that I've seen. And she hasn't shared it with Hank, as far as I know.

My love has shifted to the über-adorable Paige. (Jill has a snaggle tooth? I hadn't noticed).

Nice to see Tony Hale again... had to laugh that this time he was the magician instead of Gob.
