No More Games:

When I started doing episode reviews, I had a very clear format. My reviews have sections, because these things are the staples of LWD. There has always been a lot to talk about in every section. I've added sections, and there have been episodes that haven't worked perfectly, but in general, I love my format. It's worked very, very well for me. These past few episodes? Yeah. Not so much. I can still give numbers, but after watching "No More Games," and look over my notes, I just can't write it my normal format. From what I've heard, I think I'm going to have the same problem with "Teddy's Back," and some other episodes coming up later in the season.

So, I'm going to do these episodes in a "The Good, The Bad and the Weird," format. I hope I don't have to use it too often. As always, the review is under the cut.

( There's no hugging in fencing! )

I'm late, again. I'm really sorry guys. I've been having TV issues, but they should be all cleared up in the next day or two, which should get me back on schedule. I want to thank elvenfrolover05 for pointing me in the direction of this episode (and for being awesome.)

I liked this one. I'm biased, and I give Mike episodes extra points just because Mike wrote them, but whatever. This one was really cute.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get this review up you guys. Disney XD was giving me trouble.

Before I start, I just want to mention something very quickly. I know there have been a lot of spoilers floating around lately. I've seen them, but, at least for now, I'm ignoring them here. I'm just going to take things episode by episode.

Ok, onto the episode.

Happy New School Year

I'm so glad I saw this one. As I said to several people, my DVR didn't record this episode for some reason, so I had to wait for it to go up on youtube. Big thanks to Jesterdalafordasey for putting up the episode so fast. I actually really enjoyed this one.

Ok, so before I talk about this really, really weird episode, I just want to link everyone over to this amazing essay by sugah66: Everything That Is Wrong with Derek and Sally's Relationship. If you haven't read it yet, you should. Now.

I don't know if everyone knows this yet, but the new episode, "Open Mic Plight" is up over on Disney DX. Go watch it if you can. I loved it. I really did. I know it had a lot of Sally, I know Derek seems to really like her, but there were some adorable Dasey moments, and beyond that, this was an episode that just made me feel all warm and fuzzy about the show as a whole. Seriously, I was just watching going, "Awww. I love my show." Plus, Sally still doesn't worry me. Annoy me? Yes. Worry me? Nope.

Season four has begun!!!!!!!!

This is so, so awesome.

Before I get into the episode, I need to take a moment to talk about the new credits, because I love them. Everyone looks so grownup and pretty. I still miss that ear tug from the first credits, but Derek picking her up and carrying her away? That's amazing and I love it to bits and pieces. I want to watch it over and over.

I have to say. I think we're off to good start with this episode. I wasn't sure about it for the first few minutes, but the longer it went on, the more I loved it. I see that it's getting some mixed reactions so far, but like I said, I loved it.
