I didn't review No Ordinary Family last week, because it bothered me a lot and I didn't want to spend time picking the episode apart and being a grouch. Since this is the midseason finale, I decided to review the episode--regardless of what I felt.
Luckily, "No Ordinary Sidekick" isn't all bad and has a few good things to cling on to. Daphne's mind-wipe was a very cool way to end the episode and the show took a big leap forward by killing off Dr. Childs who wasn't really that useful. George's speech at the end of the episode was a nice way to wrap up the various plots after the sidekicks split.
The bad was again from JJ and the writers' inability to write him as anyone other than a genius-idiot. Remember when JJ set up the fake profile and got Katie to a date and this random guy showed up? Remember that JJ was hiding out and saw what happened? Well, he finally connects the dots after Daphne tells him where Katie met Will. Yeah, he's that dumb, not to mention his idiotic use of powers.
Score: 8.4/10
