What's Playing in the Media Room - October 18

So, you might have already, another show went down today. Animal Practice is out, well, in a few weeks out. So really there isn't a reason to keep on watching. While I loved the Pilot episode, that was the funniest of the bunch that's been aired and each week, I lost more and more love.



Last Resort - 8:00 - ABC/Global - Season 1 Episode 4
Episode Title: Voluntold
Marcus and Sam learn they have been charged with treason; a threat brews among the group; an old friend of Sam's visits Christine.

Thoughts from the Media Room: It took me all week to catch up and watch last week's episode of this. I'd always find something else to watch instead of watching this. It would appear that I'm losing interest here.

Episode Title: The Re-Entry Minimization
Wolowitz is disappointed when he doesn't receive a hero's welcome upon his return from space, while game night degenerates into a pitched battle of the sexes.

Stefan believes a stranger in town who questions the sheriff and the mayor is actually a vampire hunter. Meanwhile, Elena tries to cope with the extreme highs and lows that are part of being a vampire; and Jeremy and Matt are surprised to see a girl they used to know enroll at the high school.

Thoughts from the Media Room: I read in a few places today that this could be one of the best episodes of TVD ever and that you might require a box of kleenex.
