Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C | 921 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT There's…Another Part?
By Couch Baron | Season 3 | Episode 10 | Aired on 2008.11.24
The moon is now obscuring a little of the sun, and Mohinder babbles into his tape recorder about the sun and the moon, and that "something" is happening to him, like, you'd think the scientist might have some fucking idea of what that is when it started in the first episode of the season. He then seems shocked -- SHOCKED! -- at the webbing all over his hands, like he didn't have an entire wall of cocoons in his stupid lab episodes ago. Forget being a scientist -- how does he remember to breathe all the time?
Bennet breaks off a board from the vortex-damaged floor and tosses it to Claire, telling her to hit him with it. She snits that this must be how he's going to get over his guilt, and adds that she's been just fine without him. She then brings up Doyle, but he points out the obvious facts that (a) she got lucky, and (b) she almost got Sandra killed, so that "success" is hardly anything to be crowing about. He goes on that she's acting "like a girl who can't get hurt, stupid and careless," and they go back and forth for a bit until she turns away and Bennet tells her again to hit him. After a moment, she swings the board at him, but he easily catches it and pulls her in, holding her fast by pressing the board up against her neck. He tells her that she's strong, but also clumsy, slow, and obvious, to which Claire does not reply, "But I'm a cheerleader!" Too bad -- that would have given me my first real laugh here. He counsels her to get her body weight into it, and when he tells her to give it another shot, she disbelievingly asks if he's teaching her tae kwon do." Bennet: "No. It's baseball." I will give him that one. Nice.
