Quick Take: Damages, "Don't Forget to Thank Mr. Zedeck"
Midway through another great season of Damages, lots of plot lines are bubbling, converging, and getting ready to boil over.
Review: Damages, "Don't Forget to Thank Mr. Zedeck"
(S0306) So, Damages is gliding along on its typically elegant, intriguing, and slightly menacing kilter, when all of the sudden a guy I haven't seen in a while walks onto a subway in Jamaica, Queens.
"Uncle Junior!" I shouted in pure delight.
Anything with Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) in it – and particularly a high quality show like Damages – automatically gets my full approval. (And as a sidenote, I made a ton of references to The Sopranos in my last review of Damages, even going so far as to subtitle it "Pie-O-My"). So enough on that score.
The bit with Mr. Zedeck saying "He didn't give it to his mother?" with reference to the mysterious package (a mink coat) that was delivered to Joe Tobin… couldn't this bit have been achieved without all the spycraft? In other words, Zedeck could have alluded to the fact that this was a real sign that he was to be trusted and that the money is in safe hands versus the perceived notion that it was a weird and arbitrary "go to hell" package. Or something. I thought at first that this plot thread would be left dangling but relatively quickly Zedeck shows up and explains that it was a gesture to test Joe's faith.
