Heroes went out with a whimper which is about par for the course this season. Peter was so fuckin’ stupid all season. Of course everybody at one point or another had a case of the “stupids” this season. The blunder twins were pretty pointless, especially the brother. Glad he got offed, but it took too long. I jumped…(well you know what I mean) for joy when the sister was killed…then they brought her back like a minute later. Only plus was Hiro burying Adam alive and pretty much anytime Sylar got some screen time. The writer’s strike just killed Heroes. Adam’s role was just wasted. I hate when something has such great potential, then delivers nothing. The 2 “deaths” were predictable as all hell too. I put deaths in quotation marks because nobody stays dead apparently. This season gets a hard C.
Dexter on the other hand has been fantastic. Especially the episode before last. Great stuff between Dexter and Doakes. Lila has some serious fricken’ issues. Can’t wait for the final 3 episodes. Gonna be a vastly different show if Doakes bites it.
Another slow episode after the greatness of the last ep. Only part I really liked…and I really, really liked it. Was Parkman’s confrontation with his dad. I was convinced he wasn’t the “Nightmare Man”. Then BAM! “Fuck you Matt Parkman! Sonny boy! I am the Nightmare Man!” I figure Parkman will be able to use his soon to be gotten, new found power to help Molly. Peter’s story is kinda getting interesting…his “acting” still bothers me. Very Keanu Reeves-esque.
Chuck had it’s slowest, most boring, uneventful, episode yet. Nothing happened…at all.
Random TV side note…
I was watching Justice League with Tre last night, and heard quite possibly one of the funniest, completely unintentional lines ever…
The setup. A General and one of the former head guys at Cadmus(secret organization setup to defend against the perceived threat of the Justice League) was talking to another former member and he says…”Superman walked right into Cadmus and tossed our men like a salad”. At first my mouth was agape. Like, how could he say some shit like that? Then reality set in and knew it was an innocent comment and didn’t really imply any “salad tossing” lol. I got a giggle out of it either way.
Earl was the clear winner this week. I mean it had H.R. Pufnstuf, Crabman and his beautiful song “Please Respect the Meat”, a telenovela, and of course…ninjas. My favorite episode of the year.
Office was…odd. Not as funny, but not bad. Had some emotional moments. My favorite being when Jim consoled Dwight over his relationship with Angela.
A lot of great lines as always, and loved the entire who/whom scene, and when Michael says “No one asked you anything ever so whomevers name is Toby, why don’t you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull.” And Kelly saying, “Ryan used ME as an object.” And, Kevin saying “I know, but I’m not telling because nobody showed up last night”. Just a really great scene.
Spoilers of course…
Finally the show(Heroes) is beginning to get more interesting. The Wonder Twins have run into Sylar and with their powers he could do some real damage. They’re on their way to see the deceased Suresh who the Wonder Twins believe can help them with their “curse”. Sylar is now “helping” them on this journey.
Lame, creepy, flying teenager is still, lame & creepy. I soooo loathe him.
My favorite storyline this episode is the newly introduced Nawlins family and the girl with Taskmaster’s powers. Which for you non-comic geeks is the ability to see something or someone do anything and be able to do it. The Rey Mysterio 619 was a bit lame, yet cool at the same time. I loved Micah trying to heal her sadness with his powers. Was a nice moment.
No Hiro this episode was a downer, and meant more lame, creepy, flying emo kid.
Molly revealing that Parkman’s deadbeat dad is the bad man in Molly’s nightmare’s was a nice wrinkle. Should get interesting. All in all, the show really picked things up this episode.
Chuck was ok. Not the great show I had pegged it for, but fun to watch in a mindless kind of way. I’ll watch it as long as it’s on.
That is all.
This weeks Office was on fire. Funny throughout, with a sprinkle of touching, nice moments to keep it a balanced show. Loved Stanley dancing to the music on the website, and of course Dwight’s sales battle vs the “self aware” computer. Angela has reached new heights of bitchiness. Darryl is so gonna nail Kelly. The lack of Creed sucked. That is all…
Wait, no it isn’t. Earl was ok, nothing great though.
Watched the 3rd ep. of ‘Chuck’ and it gets an automatic A for mentioning the man, the legend, my after school buddy for like 3 years, Bob Motherfuckin’ Ross. I loved watching this guy as a kid, and get a kick whenever he gets mentioned on some show. Everyday after school, I’d come home and watch this guy. He was quite the man. Such a calm soothing voice. My favorite Bob Ross mention was in an episode of Boondocks and they had a character VERY similar to Bob, only he was a gun toting art teacher. Was a great episode. Also, he has the greatest white man ‘fro in history.
Oh, and Chuck wasn’t bad either.
Spoiler alert for tonights episode!!!!!

…or some such nonsense. The best show not called House has returned to TV and it was…ok. Loved that Takezo Kensei is a gaijin(foreigner) with no intention of being a “hero”. It’s amazing how history distorts reality…I’m looking at you Christopher Columbus! I think they brought Peter back too early, though it looks like he’s got amnesia, so that can be interesting especially with how he was found/revealed.
2 new Heroes were also revealed…well 3, but lets concentrate on twin brother and sister Maya Herrera and Alejandro Herrera. I have a feeling they’re gonna be critical in this season. Maya appears to be able to cause deadly disease. Though it’s clearly a power she can’t control nor wants. Her brother appears to be able to control her power. Well, not control, but when he’s around her she doesn’t kill people with her “gift”. The whole twin thing comes into effect there I’m guessin’.
Hiro still rocks and George Takei dying makes me sad.
