The Walking Dead: The mid season finale packed a little less punch than I was hoping, and the previews for the new episodes in February hint that we are getting more of this black hole of a plot, namely life on the farm. It’s weird to say this, but there’s not enough dramatic conflict in this zombie show.
In Time With You: Li Da Ren, only two episodes left. Stop pouting and make your move! Thank you, writers, for taking Chen You Qing down a peg. She really needed it. And thank you, DP, for the gorgeous Singapore shots!

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop: Cha Chi Soo’s oblivious-to-human-emotions thing is starting to get a little tired now that we’ve past the halfway mark. Even Dokko Jin had a better understanding of his emotions than this guy, and he relied on a heart monitor to tell him he was in love!

Parenthood: Trust Katims and co. to turn a borderline ridiculous plot point (Julia adopts the coffee girl’s baby) into an opportunity to reveal Julia’s strength and develop an unexpected relationship with a coworker.
New Girl: So the cute is starting to wear thin, and I’m a little less interested. Jess may have a fully developed personality, but I still don’t know the guys beyond the superficial. Making two of them listless thirty-somethings doesn’t excuse underdeveloped characterization.

Community: Annie imitates Christian Bale and Foosball goes anime. Enough said.
Parks and Recreation: What a fantastic episode. Still very funny (“Anne! Ben and I hooked up last night! And I learned how to use iMovie!”), but what made it so great was that the writers recognized that small government isn’t just quaint and sweet but sometimes needs to be taken seriously.
