To all current television shows: That is how you come back from hiatus. SGA has really shown that it stands alone as a show, but when it has the rare crossover ep, it’s done perfectly. Give us the gang we know and love, and throw in our all-time favorite (Jack), add the always welcomed Walter, don’t scrimp on the effects, and let everyone throw down. I couldn’t have made a better wishlist if I tried. Thanks, team, and thanks, Canada for getting it to us early!

Heroes was also awesome this week. I have made a complete turnaround in my intense dislike for a character to the point that she’s now one of my favorites. Brava, Claire. Well played! Mohinder, my dear, you have Sha’re’s your dad’s permission to, so go kick some serious butt now. Hiro, don’t let the ladies get in the way of your true destiny. Micah, off your mom, ok? Nathan, please fight Peter and win by a lot. Ooh, then cut his hair. Simone, are you getting decades older by the day? It’s called moisturizer and hair color. Look into it. Pixiegirl (Eden?), well done. Why haven’t you been useful until now? You’re awesome.

On a sad note, R.I.P. Robert Altman. Without you, how would my dad and I sing, “I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today”? For anyone who hasn’t seen the 1980 film Popeye, do it ASAP and tell me you don’t feel as if you’re watching the likes of something you have never seen. A master in his field, he will be sorely missed.
