Thank you Glenn, you know the true Joe.

The Medium episode "Being Joey Carmichael" was kind of weird for me to watch. TV Joe learned a great lesson about himself and his wife. I re-lived learning those lessons while watching this episode. Allison is particularly good at knowing peoples intentions and knowing whensomething is being hidden. I have not been so aggressively approached, but given what Allison can do I don't have to be for it to affect her. Imagine going to one of Allison's book signings and having women ask me for my autograph on Allison's book!

I do like Miguel Ferrer's performance as twins. He was convincing as both cunning and devious Joey as well as sweet and kind and slightly mentally handicapped Teddy. In the end, we had to decide what was the ethical right and just punishment.

The photography involved with casting a single actor to play twins was very cool. One scene in particular was really great. Miguel handed himself a beer! In the same scene, one twin cast a shadow on the other yet they were played by the same actor. Bravo.

Remember to watch the season finale next week.

Best,
Joe
