TVSquad

In the last episode, I was a little disappointed; the action didn't keep me on the edge of my seat like the season opener did. The writers were working on setting up a backdrop for the rest of the season, I suppose, as "Weight of the World" had its share of nailbiters. There's the curious weightloss program (drink from the same cup as washed-up salesman Trent Appelbaum, and the pounds just melt away), with its unknown and deadly effects. There's the affair between Jordan and the Madonna stand-in and its curious and deadly effects. And, of course, there's the usual on-the-road vignettes with Lily and Richard - will they stay one step ahead of the feds? While the episode was a bit busy and formulaic, I loved how the writers are developing Jordan into the quintessential cult figurehead, and how Shawn is working out his disapproval of his boss' many failings. Most curious is what's going on with Kyle (and his hottie professor girlfriend, excellent) - is the future coming back to haunt him? Is he possessed? Is he developing a split personality disorder? Why would the future be so destructive? It doesn't make sense. I'm sure we'll learn more next week...
