Better Halves (of the week)

2 Comments

bscap0116.jpgAfter a very busy week, I was able to watch Heroes today. I’m really enjoying this show and I hope everyone at home is watching, too. While this ep had only a couple of plotlines, it’s starting to show the divergence of the cast in pretty astounding ways. Next week is going to be even more terrific. *Be careful, Isaac!*

There’s pretty much no possible way that Micah can’t have some pretty great, if dormant, powers. Niki doesn’t really do anything for me as a character, but D.L. still has my love from S4 of BtVS and I was glad to see his *BAM* moment. Micah’s gotta have some supercool genes in there!

I’m still behind in this week’s schedule and haven’t even watched The Nine or ANTM yet, but Heroes makes up for all of the shortcomings (see below) of what I have watched. Almost. DAMMIT, Eko, I they need you!!

Heroes: Not a lot happened this week, but DAYUM. When Nathan flies, he’s not playing around. WOW! Coolest wow moment of the new season on any show. Peter? Still whiny and even more annoying. Also? Needs more Mohinder. Now that Riley’s pal from The Initiative is officially onboard as Niki’s “murderous” husband, maybe she’ll become a little more interesting.

ANTM: My picks going into the season: Christian, Megan, AJ. If you watch the show, you know how well my track record is looking. I’m almost scared to root for Caridee.

The Nine: Nothing ever really happens, but I still like this show and won’t miss it.

LOST: Damn, how I love Locke-centric eps. LOVE. I’m interested to see what the deal with Hurley’s deja vu will be, but I really don’t care anymore about Jack/Kate OR Kate/Sawyer. I think I’m going to ship Locke/The Island or Eko/Anything.

RW/RR: The Duel: Hahahaha, Tina. HA! If Kina goes soon, I’ll be sooo happy. The Duel itself is boring, but everything else is classic MTV drama. Yay!

Top Chef: No real favorite, no real villain….yet. Padma is only a shade better than Katie as the host, as she always looks like it’s hurting her to speak. It looks like she has a huge scar on her right arm, though, so that makes her way cool.

I like the vibe of the show well enough, but I’m waiting to see just what direction the show ends up going. I compare it with my interest in Series 2 of Doctor Who —must see, but not TEH MINUTE it’s out. I’m surprised to find myself wishing for more Captain Jack Harkness, because I really thought he’d ham it up too much, but he’s very restrained (at least in the first two eps).

Before I forget (again), I want to pimp a new show from NBC debuting this Fall. Heroes is about a random group of people who begin to develop/realize supernatural powers. I’ve seen the first episode *whistles innocently* and I think it can grow to become one helluva good show. It’s much more story-driven than the teaser vignettes would have us think, and there is a mysterious undercurrent that really makes me want to see more.I have a sneaking suspicion the ep was leaked by the creators, a la LOST, to get some buzz going for the show. I haven’t seen much said about it yet, but I really think you should try to catch it when it airs.

SG-1 was pretty good this week. Adria, while amazingly gorgeous, just screams “Glory” to me (Buffy reference). If she had an English accent, I think she’d be just right, but that’s just my opinion. Shep’s new best friend on SGA is awesome! He has surpassed everyone save Ronon and Lizzie as my favorite character on the show. I hope we see him again and again.

EDIT:  Just because I really like the three shiny new pics used, new (and default) theme: Up Front.
