“You do not let Vicki Vale into the Batcave — ever.” – Hardison, on attorney Tara Carlisle tagging along with the team

There was something about the way the team worked together tonight that charmed me. Sure, they are always fun to watch and no one would deny that they need each other to successfully pull off the cons. But often in the episodes, one team member comes off stronger than the others, or one stands out as having the coolest moment of the episode.

I think it was deliberate, showing how balanced the team was tonight, given the twist at the end. And boy, am I excited for the January episodes to begin.

After nine episodes, it’s clear who has separated themselves from the pack on Real World: Brooklyn. Ryan, Chet and Katelynn are easily the most interesting and entertaining. The other five cast members fall somewhere between dull and catatonic. No matter how creative the producers get in the editing room, there doesn’t appear to be a lot of redeeming qualities to extract from the majority of this season’s cast.

Scott is basically a wet noodle with a buff body. Devyn is a prima donna who sees herself with a movie career, a clothing line and a restaurant in five years (at least she’s aiming high).

ABC is definitely keeping the costs down. Last week, Turk was nowhere to be found in either episode, and this week the first episode went down with no janitor and J.D. only heard over a cell phone. But Percival Ulysses was in da house!

I liked the idea of Dr. Grumpy aka Denise hooking up with Dr. Giddy AKA Sunny. It’s a good dynamic. We’re finding out that Denise works as a character on this show; it’s too bad that it’s too late. I guess we could always root for a spin-off with the new interns and some of the principal cast members. Call it Sacred Heart and everything can essentially be the same. Or better yet, have Elliott get her own building and call it Private Practice. Then there’s a good reason to take that other Private Practice off the air!
