(Season 2, Episode 1 – Season Premiere)
I’ve really been looking forward to Eli Stone‘s return. Can we expect the same quirky fun as we did in season one, complete with musical numbers (if not the ol’ sport George Michael himself), far out visions and courtroom antics?
I hope so, and if this episode is any indication of the season to come, then we are off to a holier-than-huge start. Way to come roaring back into our livingrooms, Eli Stone.
Can you believe the awesomeness of this episode? I don’t even know where to begin. Maybe the beginning…. We got our gratuitous musical number, which really had to be included in the season opener. That Jonny Lee Miller sure is light on his feet….
The message throughout this episode was that everyone misses Eli’s visions in some way, because when he was crazy vision guy, he changed everyone he came in contact with. Eli, of course, missed all of this, just as he didn’t realize that he was a lot happier having the visions.
The only semi-lame bit in tonight’s episode was Taylor’s reaction to her father’s accident and her subsequent anger toward Eli. Plot #57 in the book of overused plot cliches.
But the twist? Wow, I did not see that one coming at all. A three-month long vision is unprecedented for Eli, and the monumental importance of it in teaching Eli how he needs to proceed with his life was astounding. I can’t say enough about how well-written this episode was. So now, they’ve set up the season to do a few things:

How are you feeling about Eli Stone‘s premiere? Do you share in my elation?
Definately caught the Credit Dauphine bit. I always love the inside jokes.
Great to have this show back. One of my favorite new shows last year.
This was my favorite show from last year … and I am glad to see it off to an excellent start.
Yay! It’s back and it’s just as good! I was so underwhelmed by most of the other returnees this season that I was afraid for this one. It didn’t let me down. Credit Dauphine indeed
Loved this episode. The twist was freaking awesome, and I felt similarly about Nate. Good to see Eli making the choice to do it now.
That line about normal for him would be a failure? Dayum.
Credit Dauphine bank!!! of course that we caught that!!!, great episode :)
