Alimi Ballard: TV Guide News

Episode Recap: "Chinese Box" | Numbers | 12/18/2007
The last new episode scheduled for 2007 reminded me of a couple of early 1970s films, the brilliant The Conversation and the more obscure (and not as good, if still interesting) Report to the Commissioner (which was based on a novel)...as well as seeming to mark the end of Aya Sumika's role on the series (though we can hope otherwise).It begins with a fairly unexceptional morning's business at the FBI offices, as Agents Reeves (Diane Farr) and Sinclair (Alimi Ballard) prepare to go pick up a suspect; less routinely, Liz Warner (Sumika) informs her boss and ex, Don Eppes (Rob Morrow), that she's taking the opportunity to be temporarily reassigned to another unit in the Los Angeles office. Eppes is surprised and conflicted, but has little time to deal with that, since in the lobby of the FBI building a man has charged in, brandishing a gun and shooting an agent before charging into an elevator and taking a civilian hostage. Sinclair exchanges himself for the hostage, over Reeves's... read more
Episode Recap: "Graphic" | Numbers | 11/24/2007
A pleasant, if slight, episode... a tribute to comics geekery and a reminder of the shabby way that far too many artists, outside comics as well as within that community, are treated even as their work remains a cash cow for others (perhaps not a coincidence that this theme should arise in a show presumably put together as the WGA strike loomed).At a comics convention in Los Angeles (but one looking considerably smaller if as diversely attended as Comi-Con), an arrogant artist-turned-mogul, Miles Sklar (Wil Wheaton), displays with much ceremony his newly purchased "ashcan" issue of a (fictional) important superhero comic from the early 1960s. An "ashcan" issue is one produced solely for trademark and/or copyright reasons, never meant for public distribution, and this one is believed to be the only copy extant. A prominent "alternative" comics creator, Seth Marlowe (Ben Feldman), looks on in disgust, until thugs rush in and force Sklar at gunpoint to turn over the comic. In the... read more
Episode Recap: "Tabu" | Numbers | 11/17/2007
Another energetic episode that managed to give nearly everyone something to do, even if the writing for the showcasing of Diane Farr's Megan could've been sharpened.We begin with young, apparently affluent adults clubbing, with the focus hanging on Ella Pierce (Ari Graynor), who at first suggests a Paris Hilton-style tabloid magnet...the Patty Hearst and Symbionese Liberation Army resonances come later. She is apparently abducted by a small group which includes a woman she'd been dancing with (Stephanie Bast), who leave with much gunfire into the air and other theatrics, but no injury to the witnesses. Our FBI unit is called in, even if Don (Rob Morrow) doesn't choose to waken Liz (Aya Sumika), sleeping in bed next to him. Charlie (David Krumholtz) joins them at the scene, immediately suggesting models he could use to track the kidnappers flight, as does private kidnapping consultant Jeff Upchurch (Sean Patrick Flanery), temporarily an employee of Pierce's father, textiles and... read more
Episode Recap: "Robin Hood" | Numbers | 10/27/2007
This was a pleasant, leisurely episode, a definite shift in pacing as well as tone from the frenetic previous installment. In fact, beyond seeing Navi Rawat's Amita and David Krumholtz's Charlie behave more like an actual couple than we've seen before, and aside from some nice business between Diane Farr's Meghan and Peter MacNicol's Larry as they attempt to grow more intimate again, I have relatively little to note about this episode. Will Patton is quite good at keeping his occasional recurring character, Gary Walker, from slipping into an utter caricature of the tough cop with the heart of gold, and, happily for Dylan Bruno and his stunt doubles or both, Granger was required only to do one shallow dive and some running pursuit of a suspect. (Alimi Ballard's Sinclair even got to do the diving tackle of the fleeing man.)A synopsis: The episode begins in an ornate bank lobby; only the apparent sophistication of the vault keeps it from being just as likely a chamber in a museum. An... read more
Episode Recap: "Hollywood Homicide" | Numbers | 10/6/2007
This was a consolidating episode for the series. It eased the Colby character back into the team, and it showcased the romances of the Eppes brothers (David Krumholtz’s Charlie with Navi Rawat’s Amita and the slight edge in Charlie’s voice in response to the gentlest of nudges from his woman friend; Rob Morrow’s Don with Aya Sumika’s Liz Warner, neither of whom are good at defusing the workplace/relation tension). It gave nearly everyone in the cast a setpiece, and it also gave the show an opportunity to mock Entourage and to make a few inside jokes about Numbers itself — as when mildly star-struck Charlie and the less-impressed Larry Fleinhardt (Peter MacNicol) demonstrated how they use calculations of water displacement to determine the size of a murder suspect, only to be told by their audience of a film actor and his lifelong friend that their efforts are just like something out of the movies… "only not as cool."Aside from the Eureka moment... read more
