MiniCap: Alcatraz

Nothing sneakier than a 6-foot bald dude wielding a giant wrench.

Heeeeeyyyyyyy Gasmii!! Did you miss me last week? I missed me last week – I’d much rather write an Alcatraz recap than have to watch even 30 seconds of a damn NASCAR race. Which I kept having to do, just to make sure that Fox didn’t decide to start airing our show at 10:23 or whatever.

The episode from last week – Clarence Montgomery – will actually air NEXT week. Because that isn’t confusing in the least. This week we got our regularly scheduled programming…a double-header entitled ‘Ames Brothers’ and ‘Sonny Burnett.’

Now, the first ep – Ames Bros. – was quite appealing to me, since it once again focused a little more on the mysteries of the island rather than on the villain of the week. Or rather, the villain of the week had a big connection to the mysteries of the island, so it wasn’t just a typical ‘nab the baddie’ sort of episode.

Overall, I thought both episodes were decent, though if this show wants to really keep me hooked, they definitely need to focus on the bigger picture (and the bigger questions) a little more. Like, why doesn’t Doc like dim sum? Where does Emerson Hauser sleep at night? And is Detective Madsen officially a dwarf or what?

Also…did you notice how downright GORY these two episodes were? I mean…DAMN!! Heads caved in, eyeballs gouged out, a hand fed into a meat saw…jeez louise, if I had known I was in for THIS, I wouldn’t have eaten so much spaghetti for dinner.

Come back in a couple of days for the full recap, pretty please! I’ll likely do them in two separate ‘caps, since one recap for an entire two-hour marathon would be, like, 85 pages long.

MWAH!!
