No Ordinary Family - Episode 3: "No Ordinary Ring"

It has…diamonds? Seriously, is this episode three? Come on guys, lead strong! More bad guys or whatever! Not more marital boredom!

LAST TIME: Darla doesn’t think it’s necessary to follow the rules that she establishes, and the school district has a complete bitch on the PTA. Also, the kids still won’t tell the parents they have superpowers, and an interesting ethnic person died.

0:35 Seriously? You couldn’t be bothered to get a real baseball? Had to CGI it in?

0:59 And now that the audience is caught up, let’s get on with the plot!

1:39 What stuff? The bucket of baseballs? It’ll take what, ten seconds?

2:33 Wait, he doesn’t already have a tuxedo? And he needed one tonight? Then…

3:07 How dare you have a personality, my daughter!

3:58 Oh thank God, that conversation was insipid and boring. Although, point B, who sticks up a wedding?

4:49 Are they going? I can’t tell.

5:04 How is it easier to zipline out of your wedding robbery than to just drive away!?

6:22 I mean come on Chiklis, why did you assume you have a penis whatsoever?

6:48 OH DANG! There is some sexiness all in this high school classroom. (And that’s wrong, I guess.)

7:38 Do any of these high school girls look at all different from each other? They could all be played by deer.

9:05 Are they thinking about sandwiches?

9:24 Wait what? Are people with blood diseases often denied research? That seems…against the law.

9:50 Wait, you are using comic books, works of fiction, as proof that you need to keep your identity secret?

11:15 How dare you want to talk about the problem that I want to talk to you about!

12:07 WHAT? Just don’t show the title screen at all at this point.

13:09 Come on! You can trust MC Scat Kat!

13:56 OH NO! He outed Roosevelt as a….Democrat? Wait.

14:20 Did I miss the John Hughes movie where the female lead had mind reading powers?

15:13 How did you forget you gave him a blood sample?!

15:35 Oh. Oh. The adorable lab tech did it.

16:55 The girl in his class doesn’t like him? But…she made a sexy joke! Also, how is the quiet dull guy a tool?

18:17 DO NOT insult Chiklis’s dancing.

18:54 The casting for this Wedding Crashers sequel was poorly done.

19:55 How is an Usher song from the current year on a compilation CD? Also, second time this episode that Will.i.am. gets a mention.

21:05 Does the family make a habit out of lying to every other member of the family?

21:48 Maybe tell the truth? Say there was a misunderstanding?

22:39 Why did they need a distraction to just Flash away the keycard from him?

24:05 WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO HIM?

24:59 First step to becoming Jewish: Learning Hebrew.

26:06 Would you like an apple? Because I’m just going to start cutting one, even if you say no…..

26:58 Why did he immediately think the name of where he was actually going? HE KNOWS HIS DAUGHTER HAS MIND READING POWERS!

27:58
…IF we already had that clean sample blood, why didn’t they use that in the first place?

28:26 Would she really be stupid enough to take the elevator?

29:10 So…she did the job without a hitch? Then why spend so much time on set up?

29:56 This kid is going way overboard at pretending to be Jewish.

31:04 Wait, is there an official dance to Mambo No. 5?

31:50 Some kind of Kelvar? Like…maybe a Kevlar neckerchief, or a Kevlar cravat!

32:34
THAT MAN IS GOING TO DIE!

34:16 Does Darla have a real friend? Not an underling who happens to be into comic books?

35:35 I run a TMZ style website based around our crappy little town. I’m sorry.

36:29 Maybe hurling a guy at a police car wasn’t the best option for securing an arrest of a team of bandits regularly hitting weddings.

38:32 I mean, I’m Michael Chiklis. I’m made of solid stone! Oh wait, that was just a part I played in a movie.

39:26
Some sort of glitch in the system that implements one of my employees into fraud, I’m sure it’s nothing.

40:28 Somewhere much more exclusive, with exceedingly worse service. I mean, you know how hard it is to get the waiter onto the roof?

41:07 How did he get the ring back? Wouldn’t that be police evidence?

41:51 Mainly me, big ordinary Michael Chiklis.

Verdict:
So…we didn’t catch the bad guys, we didn’t advance the plot, nobody learned anything different, and we broke a couple of laws. Good show! I did like the Jewish plot though, although I kinda wish that he instead did an elaborate Woody Allen impression. That would have been hilarious.
