Episode 7 of Life Jumped the Shark

I recently got into watching the TV show Life (NBC), which the first season is available on Hulu. The day after Xmas I caught a nasty stomach bug that had me going at both ends, disgusting I know... Anyhoo, I got exceptionally bored over the next 3 days and I turned to Hulu for some episodes of House, which I can only manage to catch on Hulu for some reason (long story). I ran out of House so I started Life.

I was pretty impressed with Life until episode 7. I got scared about mid way through this episode when Detective Crews has a hunch a nerdy "Persian" kid hid records of his drug deals inside a video game... on the 10th level! Oh, it get's better.

He gets the nerdy computer cop play the game to get to level ten of The Prince of Persia. Yup, the "Persian" kid apparently hid his drug deal excel spreadsheets in the 10th level of The Prince of Persia. Crews notices the little sister of the "Persian" kid watching the gameplay while moving her thumbs like she is holding the game controller and playing the game... Of course! That's it! Bring in the little "Persian" girl to beat the "Persian" game on the XBOX (did Prince of Persia even come out on regular XBOX). Cue the game-play montage resulting in excel spreadsheets at the 10th level!

Here is a clip from the episode right before the little girl kicks ass:

Makes perfect sense that a nerdy drug dealer would play a video game from the very beginning to get to his hidden spreadsheets every-time he needed to do a drug deal. It's not like you could save games or anything on an XBOX or at lest start from a certain level once you've beat it already.

Other than that I highly suggest you watch Life, it's a really good show with this one exception. Thus far! Knock on wood.
