In summary, "Gorilla Warfare" was entertaining to say the least and it brought much needed exposition and references to get us pumped up for future episodes and events. The action is still pretty fast paced and you feel really engaged with how the episode handles its thrilling scenes. Moving on to the technical aspects of the episode, the visuals still pretty much hold up even at the second season of this show. Of course, it also didn't miss the opportunity to play along with the episode, especially when you have an over sized Gorilla, there's bound to be some King Kong callbacks and references, and there were indeed. Cisco also had a rather interesting part in this one with, of course, Hawkgirl and it gave way to references ranging to The Princess Bride. It was also quite refreshing to see Barry's dad come back again (also to trump some Moviepilot theories out there) and give some much needed inspiration and motivation for Barry and it was pretty great to see them interact with each other. Tom Cavanagh as "Harry" is extremely entertaining to watch and watching him play the role but a whole lot differently adds much more substance and likability to his character. Legends Of Tomorrow season 2 episode 7: Supergirl, Arrow, Flash and Legends unite to fight aliens The four-night DC Crossover event concludes with this Thursdays episode of Legends Of Tomorrow. Just when you thought it would just be another filler episode, especially since Barry just lost his power and there is no thrill, the episode becomes really engaging from the get-go. It starts off from where we left off the previous episode with the surprise appearance of Zoom. It still gives us some great exposition on what is to come in the future and it gives us delightful references and callbacks to stuff that will probably make you smile throughout this episode. ET on HBO."Gorilla Warfare" is one of those Flash episodes that and I quote from the episode, slow down, but not in a bad way. Girls returns with Episode 8, "It's Back," next Sunday at 9 p.m. Let's hope Girls can deliver on its episode name next week. Once you've delivered the greats, it's hard to accept the goods. Perhaps, I'm being unfair and expecting too much from the show but Girls has no one to blame but themselves for those raised standards. The 'you used me for sex' line was pretty good too. Any emotional impact that her running away was supposed to have was immediately killed by Hannah's funny phone call to her parents, not to mention the second track-side bathroom break, but at that point I was just happy to get a chuckle out of the otherwise pretty laugh-less episode.

I must admit, as much as I was able to predict most of the events of "Video Games," especially the night out with the underage boys (from the driving too fast to the too fast fornication) and heart to hearts with dad (over and over), I still didn't see Jessa's final play coming. Pretty much everything Jessa says about her failed marriage is bullshit and he seems to know it, playing up their matching nomadic personas and foreshadowing the eventual effect her visit will have on both of them. Before the predictable but still quite amusing sex-driven storyline between Hannah and the teenager takes place, she spends a bit of time playing cushion and letting the father and daughter catch up. Dad eventually shows up and brings the best friends back to the house to meet his current girlfriend (Arquette) and her awkward son Frank.

But before we meet the parents, "Video Games" opens with Hannah and Jessa waiting for pops by some train tracks (not coincidentally, it's also where the episode ends in very neat bookends) and the former relieving her bladder in one of the few genuinely funny moments. Mendelsohn blew me away in Animal Kingdom and Killing Them Softly and I didn't expect to see him pop up in the HBO dramedy, especially in the same episode as Rosanna Arquette and the pair both play the parts perfectly. Girls hasn't lacked for talented actors stopping by but this week's appearance by Ben Mendelsohn as the runaway dad was one of the best. Having said all that, and it was a lot, "Video Games" does still have a lot to admire, first and foremost the great guest stars. It would have been more interesting to see someone with Jessa's commitment and abandonment issues come from a house like Hannah's instead of the one they created. If you were asked to describe the character's backstory before last night, I imagine you'd come up with something pretty similar to what we saw.

And even though Jessa's backstory does a pretty good job explaining why she turned out the way she did, the episode does it in such an obvious way that we didn't really need to see it, especially in a full on upstate detour. I couldn't help but see the craft behind "Video Games" which, similar to "One Man's Trash," makes it come across as more of a writing exercise than organic installment.
