Commentary: The greatness of America is in the universality of this massive, continent-spanning country & the specificity of individual towns, even neighborhoods, & the dynamic tension betwixt those currents.

Episode o' the Day
"Tuesday the 17th" (season three, episode fifteen; 13 February 2009): Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: "Tuesday the 17th" is epic. Directed by James Roday Rodriguez & written by Rodriguez & series creator Steve Franks, it's actually two distinct episodes in one. The A plot is the source of the title, an allusion to the feature film Friday the 13th, with mysteries within mysteries & a chilling twist. The B plot is the polar opposite, a small, personal story: Lassie meets with his estranged wife, Victoria (played by Justine Bateman), hoping to reconcile & ends up signing divorce papers.

Ten out of ten. No notes. Chef's kiss.
