FlashForward; Supernatural; The Office – In that order

Here’s a list of what I felt the top three shows of the night were, based on what I was able to fit in:

FlashForward — The intrigue continues, and I like it! While the non-reveal about the 137 seconds may have disappointed the authorities, the tidbits revealed weren’t disappointing, at least to me. What’s with the dead crows? Was that a nuke cloud we saw at the end of the episode? And speaking of crows and the flash forward, did any animals other than humans get effected by the flash?

I do want to see what happens when someone changes something that was seen in a flash forward, though. That seems to be hinted at and toyed with every week. What happens then? Is it even possible? Needless to say, I’m really digging this show.

Supernatural — I was telling Deb that, though I like the monster-of-the-week episodes of Supernatural a lot, at this stage of the game they feel sorta out of place. Satan is looking to woo Sam into using him as a skin suit, and an angel is out to do the same to Dean. So, are they off on vacation with Cas? Because they were nowhere to be found last night, and that seemed … odd.

Still, it was an entertaining episode, as always, though missed the mark to make it to number one on my list this week.

The Office — I was just telling the Clack team that this show is just becoming more and more a caricature of itself. It’s to the point where anything Michael does (or anyone else in the office, for that matter) isn’t surprising, to where it’s not funny anymore. The stuff with Dwight getting lucky just didn’t fit what we know of him, either, though huge bonus points for the Mountain Men’s Three Wolf Moon T-shirt he was sporting (if you’re unfamiliar with the meme here, read the product reviews at the link).

What didn’t make the cut: Community and The Vampire Diaries. Both were decent, but not outstanding. I didn’t even get to The Mentalist this week, though I did watch next week’s episode of Modern Family — it’s still got it!
