TVgasm has just released this exclusive footage of “Grey’s Anatomy” actor Isaiah Washington’s notorious on-set meltdown. Surprisingly, none of the media outlets reporting on the melee mentioned the chainsaw, the flamethrower, or the use of automatic weapons.
Curious.
All in all, I thought this was a pretty ridiculous episode. Would a man with one good hand be able to pull a switcheroo with a bag full of money without anyone noticing? What are the chances of a guy getting his foot caught under a log in a stream? Between T-Bag’s unlikely theft of five million dollars – five million! – and Sucre’s ability to bend the laws of physics, the writers are really stretching the limits of reality.
But there were some nice surprises. It turns out I was dead wrong with my prediction that Agent Evil was going to save Sara. Turns out she doesn’t need saving, she just needs some conveniently placed bug spray. She is one tough cookie.
Agent Evil is back to being evil, so all is right in the “Prison Break” world. He’s in cahoots with Agent Mahone, who turns out to be more of a mercenary than an actual FBI agent. Mahone’s instructions are to kill all of the escapees, which certainly raises the ante for this season. When he murdered Tweener in the last episode, I gave up any hope of a Tommy Lee Jones-in-“The Fugitive” vibe, but maybe it’s more interesting this way.
I bought Sucre’s act in the garage and really thought he was going to take off with the money. Of course, when Scofield ran into him in the forest, it was clear it was all an act (even though at first they tried to make it seem like Scofield was going to attack him). That was a nice moment of friendship – that is, until they opened up the bag. Crap, outsmarted by the hick again!
So now T-Bag is a millionaire. He’s so smart, he can steal the money from a genius, but he’s so dumb that he’s going to head back to his ex’s place to confront her. All he has to do is drive to Mexico – buy a bungalow on the beach, ice down some beer in a bucket – and he’s got himself the Corona commercial that everyone wants when they retire. Instead, he’s going to go to the one place anyone would think to look for him. What a joke.
It looks like Lincoln has a few brain cells after all. Setting up the fight to free LJ seems like a playcall from his brother’s playbook. So Agent Evil has lost LJ, which means finding Sara is now doubly important. So far, we have the following code:
RENDEZVOUS/SUNDOWN/HOT/??????????
Where do we go from here?
I begin this week with a complaint: although I’m as much of a sucker for reading spoilers as the next guy, I like to have the option to read them, not have them thrust upon me as has been happening in the previews for the following week’s episode of “Heroes.” Yeah, I know, the whole point of the preview is to tease you about what to expect, but the ones for “Heroes” seem to give away major surprises and developments instead of just offering the teasing lines immediately before the surprises and developments. Like, the whole “save the cheerleader, save the world” thing was given up long before future-Hiro uttered the line at the beginning of this week’s episode. It just pisses me off, that’s all I’m saying. But, then again, even the fact that we saw someone shoot into the air in last week’s preview didn’t damage the sheer coolness of Nathan shooting upwards, into the clouds, and – it sounded like – breaking the sound barrier in the process; that was definitely still very much a “holy shit” moment. (By the way, did I miss it last week when they revealed that they’d taken Nathan rather than Niki? All I heard Claire’s dad say was “take one of them”; I never heard him say which one…but the show acted as though we were supposed to have known that he’d taken Nathan.)
So Alias Boy…sorry, I mean Matt…more than makes up for his brief appearance in last week’s episode by, if my calculations are correct, getting more screen time this week than any other character. Surely his wife’s gonna get pissed off when she finds out that he really IS getting inside her mind. (Is it me, or does she look like an older Katie Holmes?) Based on his mother of a headache toward the end of the show, it looks like Matt’s gonna end up crazy sooner than later if he doesn’t figure out how to reign in his abilities.
By the way, the subject line is partially a reference to that, but also to Claire feeling a bit of remorse for running the QB’s car into a wall. She finally opens up to her dad…sort of. About the rape, not about her abilities. Well, if nothing else, we’ve confirmed that no matter what his ulterior motive in all this turns out to be, he’s clearly still got a lot of love in his heart for his adopted daughter…or else she’s so crucial to his endgame that he’ll do anything to protect her. And Niki…sweet, sweet Niki…doesn’t get much forward motion in her arc ’til the end of the episode, except to discover that she had hot monkey sex with Nathan and doesn’t remember a thing about it. Oh, well, she can always order a copy of the DVD…
So exactly when did Hiro learn all that English? Finally, he gets Ando to help him with a phone call to Isaac, but, still, when he’s chatting with Nathan at the diner, it’s clear that he’s fluent enough in speakin’ American to be able to get his point across to Isaac…so why did he insist on speaking solely in Japanese when he called him? Nerves…? As long as we’re talking about the dynamic duo from the land of the rising sun, dammit, we were thisfuckingclose to seeing that Niki / Ando romance kick off…and, by God, I’m not giving up hope yet; there was a spark, I tells ya! As far as Hiro’s new buddy, I have to say, I never would’ve thought that he and Nathan would meet up so soon, let alone that Nathan would be amused with him rather than annoyed by him.
I noticed this week that at least one of the supposedly big reveals of the episode was pretty anti-climactic, that being when Peter finds Isaac’s painting of Claire; I mean, it’s not like we didn’t witness Isaac painting it last week…but they played it like it was something we’d never seen before. Rule of thumb, people: if it’s not a new revelation, it’s not cut-to-commercial worthy…!
If it was me, I think I would’ve ended the episode with Niki’s husband creeping around the corner…but, overall, it was a solid episode with lots of new info.
Funniest line: “That hurt more than I thought it would.”
Most chilling line: “Hollow him out; take everything.”
For those of you following the tale of the tax-evading vampire slayer, this just in:
Wesley Snipes is in Namibia filming a movie. He is not scheduled to return to the United States until at least the third week in December.
According to the film’s producer, Joanne Reay:
“We are shooting and we are continuing to shoot. We are aware of the issue around the tax charges but we are not discussing it.”
[Reay also adds: ]“As far as we understand, Wesley is not going to be arrested in Namibia.”
Huh. You’d think Wesley might want a little more concrete reassurance than that whole “as far as we understand” hedge…but apparently not.
Stay tuned to see whether the former onscreen fugitive meets up with some real-life U.S. marshals on foreign soil, as “Snipes Hunt 2006” continues.
“Grey’s Anatomy” surgeon Dr. Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington) continued what is apparently some sort of unorthodox physical therapy treatment for the nerve damage in his injured hand last week, following up his rehabilitative choke-hold exercises with a new form of resistance training: dragging Dr. George O’Malley (T.R. Knight) out of the closet.
Unfortunately, this is not a convoluted plot line on the popular medical melodrama; this is real life. Further details have emerged regarding Washington’s on-set temper tantrum a few weeks back, and the net result is that actor T.R. Knight has essentially been forced out of the closet.
Here’s how the story evolved:
1. On October 11, the National Enquirer reports that Isaiah Washington put a choke-hold on Patrick Dempsey during an on-set spat, after Dempsey objected to Washington’s saying “something mean” to T.R. Knight.
2. On October 18, the Enquirer updates its story about the spat to include a mention of Washington yelling to Dempsey, “I’m not your little faggot like [name deleted].”
3. On October 19, T.R. Knight issues a statement indicating that he is gay, and that he hopes that that fact “isn’t the most interesting part of” him.
Nice work, guys. Not that we consider the National Enquirer any sort of bastion of journalistic integrity or moral rectitude…but did anyone at the publication really think that even the drooling masses wouldn’t be able to do the math on this one?
Let’s see: Isaiah said something mean to T.R. Knight. Isaiah also called some unidentified actor a faggot. Hmmm, to whom could he have been referring? Not the same actor to whom he had already been reported to have said “something mean,” perhaps? No, that couldn’t possibly be it. It’s a mystery for the ages.
So, here’s the question: who is more to blame here: Isaiah Washington, for being a homophobic egomaniac with anger management issues; the National Enquirer, for taking such laughably lax steps to “protect” Knight’s personal life…or some combination of the two?
And if you were running the show over at “Grey’s Anatomy,”what would you do to reprimand Washington for such clearly unprofessional and unwarranted behavior?
