The Positively Positive

You know, I keep waiting for the humor in this show to get old but it just doesn’t. If anything, it’s getting funnier and funnier with each episode. I also keep waiting for Bradley Whitford’s performance as Dan to get annoying but nope, that’s not happening either. Still funny as hell and going strong, this week’s episode has the boys tracking down a candy thief. Of course, like with all their cases, it leads them to something much bigger and they end up after a no-good pimp who’s threatening a girl who just wants to get out of the biz once and for all.

My favorite bits…

Jack being more upset that Dan is about to sneeze on him than the fact that they’re both getting shot to hell in a bathtub.

Jack’s ex setting him up on a date

The thug telling his boss that his office is kind of a dump and he should get a decorator. Last week we got a sidekick spouting dating advice and now design advice? What’s next, a sidekick with cooking tips?

Gemini not willing to let his best girl go because he needs to get his tattoo removed. Must be a big problem among pimps everywhere.

Dan referring to the forensics techs as “the geeks with the microscopes”. LOL! You know, somehow I think Abby on NCIS would think that was pretty darn funny.

Dan trying to memorize the names on the computer before he saw that Jack had printed it out on the “mimeograph”.

The look between Dan and Jack when the hotel manager came flying off the roof. Classic.

The chase after the bad guys on the roof, done to the tune of ‘Solid Gold Easy Action’ by T. Rex.

Dan’s flu going from the hotel manager and making its way over to Gemini the pimp. That’s some pretty powerful germs he’s got there.

Barfing in the bushes turning out to be a good way to find evidence. Who knew?

Dan’s painful “It….will….pass” as he’s bent double and unable to move.

The angry wife threatening to gun down her husband to the tune of “These Boots Are Made For Walking”, originally by Nancy Sinatra but I’m pretty sure the version in this ep is from Star Academy.

Dan practically beside himself that he’s not the one who gets to entrap the call girl and Jack ending up only talking to her about his ex.

Great use of a punk version (which I could not find anywhere, unfortunately) of “My Boyfriend’s Back” during the scene where Gemini and his thug come to shoot up the hotel room.

Dan’s flu then making its way over to Lieutenant Ruiz and the simultaneous “she’s pissed” Dan and Jack say as she walks away, well, pissed.

Cracking up at my local news cutting into the episode to report on the earthquake that just happened and the episode resuming at the point where there’s a news report about the shooting. For a second there, I didn’t know what the heck was real…..well, except for the earthquake cuz I felt that. LOL.

Jack and Dan just happening to be at the pharmacy where Gemini shows up, exactly 1.01 miles from his house and therefore not breaking the ultimatum that the lieutenant gave them.

Dan’s “It’s not a toy…..it’s a red gun” when Gemini spots what he’s got in the mirror.

Another final action sequence to a great song ‘Traveling Band’ by Creedence.

Dan handcuffing himself to Gemini as he loses consciousness and then Jack fighting Gemini while the pimp is still attached to his partner. OMG, best fight ever!! LOL.

Jack telling Dan that he can’t punch the smug bastard in the face but letting him do the next best thing…..giving the guy a big ol’ wet kiss and the infamous flu.
