5 sentence review of Two and a Half Men Season 9 finale

Season 9, Episode 24: “Oh Look! Al-Qaeda!”

5. Jake (Angus T. Jones) and Eldridge (Graham Patrick Martin) graduate high school, ruin Walden’s (Ashton Kutcher) fledgling company and join the Army.

4. This episode was at least part clip show, with a montage of Jake’s greatest hits when he was a younger, round-faced cherub rather than a dimwitted pothead.

3. The episode felt as if most of the jokes were given away in the previews and lacked any sort of pizazz for a season finale.

2. I guess this is why they don’t have very many episodes about Jake — he’s not very interesting beyond one or two one-liners an episode.

1. The loser here is the U.S. Army, which isn’t mocked in the episode per se, but probably could actually make something out of Jake and, hell, could have made a funner comedy episode for that matter.

About Daniel P. Finney

A misanthrope, iconoclast and general grouch since the late 1980s, Daniel P. Finney has been a professional paragraph stacker since 1993. He reports. He writes. He blogs. He tweets. He beats deadlines. He amuses (himself, at least.) He informs. He adapts. He keeps moving forward. He eschews gatherings. The highlights of his week are Sunday chicken wings, new comics Wednesday and naps during televised sporting events. He does not wonder if there is a player to be named later in his life and spends most of his waking hours desperately trying to be left alone.

  1. Season9 is awful their trying to create Walden Schmit’s character to be identical to Charlie Sheen’s and its not working

  2. It’s been hit and miss. Mostly miss.
