Monk: Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine (2004)
One of the most touching moments in TV history
I saw only a part of this episode on cable years ago, without knowing the title or even which season the episode was from. I have been searching for it for years, and finally saw it again a short time ago when I rented the third season. The reason I loved this episode so much was a small thing, but something I considered incredibly touching. In a scene where Adrian is missing his long-deceased wife, he goes into his closet, takes out a pillow inside a zippered plastic case, takes out the pillow, and lays with it, smelling it. What a romantic notion, that someone would save and seal their spouse's pillow, so that years later, they could still smell them on it, and feel their presence! Whether or not the actual scent was still there after so many years, or it was just present in his imagination, the notion is one of the most loving and romantic things I've ever seen in a film or television show!
Merlin's Apprentice (2006)
Very disappointing
After being tremendously impressed with 1998's "Merlin," I was excited to see that a sequel had been made. However, aside from Sam Neill as Merlin (and brief appearances by Miranda Richardson as the Lady of the Lake), there is no comparison to its much superior predecessor! The original had amazing special effects, a great cast, and wonderful performances. This has a handful of unknown and unimpressive actors walking around. (Picture a low-rent "Lord of the Rings"!) No surprises and nothing to impress. I only rate it as high as a "3" because I am such a fan of Arthurian legend, but even Arthurian fans shouldn't waste any time or money here!
