My TV Musings

There was a time recently when I was afraid Megan was leaving the show. When she returned from a special FBI job in Washington D.C. saying things like she couldn’t handle it anymore. But she appeared to work through whatever issues she might have had.
Megan and Larry had been a pretty solid couple […]

Talk about the man in the box - Enrico Colantoni portrays a surveillance expert who can’t handle being watched and it drives him over the edge, enough so that he shoots his boss and takes David hostage in an elevator.
At least we got closure on the whole Don-Liz thing. And I got to see […]

Charlie is the one driven almost to the breaking point when he is followed and later attacked by someone trying to stop the FBI’s investigation of a reporter’s kidnapping. Not only does Don chastize him for mentioning an ongoing case during a television interview, driving Charlie to being secretive about the extent to which […]

Some really nice stuff with Charlie and Don at the end, and it was fun watching Charlie’s friends being interviewed, all the while wondering just how embarrassing the article was going to turn out, especially after the author admitted to Alan that he thought Charlie was making money at the expense of people’s emotional need […]

You’ve gotta love William Atherton! He was an annoying guy in a couple of the Die Hard movies and he’s an annoying guy in this episode of Numb3rs. His party-girl daughter, Ella, is fed up with Daddy’s not paying attention to her and decides to mastermind her own kidnapping.
While on stakeout to try […]

I was actually worried they would kill off Colby when he dam opened up, and just when he had firmly committed to being back on the team! Until that whole Chinese double spy plotline I never gave him or David much attention, but now I really like Colby. I wonder if the in-service […]

It was good to see Megan and Larry making moves toward involvement again, tentative as they were. Larry is such a neurotic, having taken refuge in a monastery after returning from orbitting the planet. But now he seems to be spending more time at the university so he appears to be looking outward […]

Trouble in paradise? Is the new blonde professor interested in Charlie or in Larry? Either way it could mean one of our favorite couples will have some strained relations.
It was good to see David and Colby bonding again. And when Colby told Megan that people like them shouldn’t give up I was […]

Wouldn’t it be cool if Charlie’s self-help book about friendship mathematics really did get published? I mean in the real world, not just on the show.
I noticed that Don didn’t want Colby and David to do the stakeout together. Maybe because he wanted Colby to think through his decision to stay or go […]

Since I avoid spoilers as most would the plague, I was wonderfully surprised by the return of Diane Farr in the role of Megan to Numb3rs this season. Last we had seen her, she was saying she couldn’t handle it anymore and acting as if she would retire from the FBI. I believed […]
