I’m only a day behind on TV this week, though it’s only Tuesday so who knows what the rest of the week holds.
Tonight I caught up on Lie to Me and watched episode 2.9 “Fold Equity.” I’m sorry to say I don’t think that this was one of the stronger episodes of the series, and considering the episodes we’ve had recently, I’m a bit disappointed.
The whole episode felt kinda blah to me. We know Cal had a gambling problem, though I suppose it was news that he was banned from Vegas and all that but I really wish they could have maybe somehow introduced Cal, Jillian, and Reynolds into the casino world of NBC’s Las Vegas in the first two seasons, that I genuinely loved.
I also thought the B story was a non-entity this week and the revelation, if revelation it was, where we find out that Torres has some kind of thing for Loker, came way out of left field. It just seemed so sudden. With only I think they said two weeks until the mid-season finale before a long hiatus until “late spring” and a question mark of where Lie to Me will return for its back nine, I expected a steady crescendo of Awesome leading into an amazing mid-season finale.
“Fold Equity” unfortunately was a miss, though watching Tim Roth & co act for forty-five minutes wasn’t a complete waste of time.
