What TV Show’s Are Playing On Our TV? |
In the season finale of Jericho, my favorite scene was the air fight. In fact, I think that in the context of the whole story this was the best scene I have seen all year on tv. What do you think?
Here it is:
PS. Apparently the person who uploaded it to YouTube shared my feelings about the scene. It was really cool!
I just watched the last episode of Jericho and it was really good. I am going to miss Jericho A LOT! I really enjoyed it. In my opinion Jericho was one of the 5 best shows on tv.
They ended it in such a way they could have brought it back for a third season, but even with the cliffhanger ending it was still a good ending for a great show.
Well, Jericho is over… and all I have left to say is… “NUTS!”
Besides American Idol and the Super Bowl, I have not been watching a lot of TV lately.
I did manage to watch two episodes of Chuck last week. Chuck is possibly my favorite show on TV (it’s a close call between Chuck and Heroes).
I also watched LOST, which was a really good episode. I don’t think I like the glimpses into the future, but other than that it’s been fun to watch.
I have been watching Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice and while I enjoy it, the people on the show seem to have less desire to win at all costs than the normal apprentices.
Anyway, I have been rather busy lately, so I might start doing weekly round-ups of shows that I watch, instead of discussing each show separately.
Lastly, I am glad that it looks like the writer’s strike will be over soon. I would hate to see reality TV be the ONLY thing on TV the rest of the year.
Last night was the season 2 finale of Heroes. I have talked to people who both enjoyed it and hated it. What are your thoughts? Did it suck? Was it the best show ever? Was it just alright? Take the poll below to let us know…
I just watched the preview for next week’s episode of Heroes and when I first saw it I thought to myself, “Who are they killing off?” It’s got be Nikki, but who else? Maybe Nathan, maybe the new girl who is a muscle mimic, maybe Maya, but then…
I was just watching the previews and I think they might kill off Hiro…
When Adam looks down at the ground and Peter says, “let’s go destroy the virus” I thought to myself “Oh my goodness, Adam is looking down at Hiro’s dead body!”
Now, that would be a total shock, but I think it is quite possible. On second thought, I just can’t imagine them killing off Hiro.
Here are the previews, let me know who you think will die?
First, here is the cliff hanger ending from this week’s episode of Heroes:
Now for some previews for the Season 2 Finale of Heroes “Powerless”…
US Preview
Canadian Preview:
My top guesses for being killed off on Heores next week are Niikki and Maya… actually I am hoping it’s Nikki and Maya.
Last night’s episode of Heroes was fun to watch, but one thing I was wondering through out the show was whether or not they rushed this episode, because of the writer’s strike.
Even though I like the fast pace, it seemed a bit rushed. Maybe I felt that way, because I know they cut it short due to the writer’s strike.
What do you think, was Heroes “Truth and Consequences” to quick?
Please take our poll (below):
This week’s Heroes comic “Chapter 60 - REVOLUTIONARY WAR - PART ONE” is very interesting. It shows what Adam Monroe was doing in the 1770s. I have a feeling it is also introducing us to another character we will be seeing on the show soon (probably someone older than Adam). Check it out here:

Last night’s episode of Heroes (Cautionary Tales) was really good.
I was bummed that Noah Bennet (HRG) didn’t kill Mohinder. I liked Mohinder when the show started, but he has become somewhat “stupid” for a doctor… not killing Sylar when he could, believing the people in “the company”, etc.
Anyway, here are my top 5 scenes from the show:
1. Noah walks out to find West and West flies in and swoops Noah into the air.
2. Hiro stops time to see that Adam Monroe killed his father (looks like I was right with my first guess).
3. Matt Parkman’s interrogation of Mrs. Petrelli was a bit disturbing, but one of the most memorable scenes. Looks like he is turning into a “bad” good guy (if that’s possible).
4. When Noah tells Bob the company dies with him, it sounded like Bob is all that was left to keep the company going. That was a very memorable scene, epsecially when Mohinder shoots Noah.
5. The final scene where Noah regenerates and wakes up saying “Holy Sh..” then the “To be continued” screen appears.
What were your favorite scenes?
Here are previews for next week’s episode of Heroes 2×10 “Truth & Consequences”:

When will the writer’s strike affect your favorite show?
TV guide is keeping a running list of tv shows that shows how many episodes have aired, how many have been produced, and how many are left. Click here to check out the list.
I read that LOST might go on hiatus until 2009, because of the writers strike. That would really suck. As for my favorite shows:
Heroes has 4 episodes left, Chuck has 6 left, Numbers has 4 left and Jericho has 7 left.
I understand why they are striking… it makes sense, but I really hope the writer’s strike ends soon.
How many episodes does your favorite tv show have left before it goes on strike?
In our poll we asked you:
“Does Season 2 Of Heroes Suck?”.
41 of you have voted so far. 76% of you said yes it does suck, while only 24% don’t think it sucks. That was a bit of a surprise to me. However, even more surprising is that the Creator of Heroes agrees with you and essentially said that Heroes Season 2 sucks.
I just read at Entertainment Weekly a story where Tim Kring (the creator of Heroes) apologized for the slow start to Season 2. He said that the pace is too slow, they should have introduced the viral “end of the world” message in the first episode, the new heroes should have been better introduced in a way that intertwined them with the story, Hiro was in Japan way too long, and the Claire -West romance was a bad idea.
I think the biggest mistake was not having a unifying theme. As much as I hated the “Save the cheerleader, Save the world.” mantra, it really helped the show last year. If they had a unified theme to stop the virus from the very start of the show, I think it would have kept more people watching.
The good news is that Tim Kring is addressing these issues and the show seems to be picking up it’s pace again.
Thanks to JohnD at sfsignal for the heads up on this.
I missed Heroes last night, but saw it this evening on DVR. WOW! It is starting to get much more interesting. Here is my quick recap of Heroes “Out of Time”:
1. Peter and Caitlin learn more about the future. Peter meets his mother in the future and his mother sends him thoughts of the past. Apparently, Mrs. Petrelli has the same power as Mr. Parkman.
2. Matt traps his father in his own nightmare and saves Molly. That was really cool.
3. Niki and Mohinder’s first assignment is to give the virus to Mr. Parkman. It doesn’t exactly go as planned.
4. West sees Mr. Bennet and freaks out.
5. Nathan learns about the past from Bob. I think Bob must have left out some critical pieces. At this point it looks Takezo Kensie (aka. Adam Moreno, aka Julian Sark) is the man behind the killings. Boy did he keep a grudge for a very long time.
6. Hiro saves history, but gains a lifelong enemy. I thought Kensei (Adam Moreno) was the one who killed Hiro’s dad and looks like he did.
7. Suresh tells Bob about Mr. Bennet’s plans to take down the company. What was he thinking???
8. Peter comes back to the present. When he gets back he is greeted by Adam Moreno, the infamous Takezo Kensei. The actor playing Adam Moreno (I am too sleepy to look up his name right now), was a terrific bad guy when he played the role of Julian Sark on Alias. I have a feeling he will make a really good bad guy on Heroes as well.
So that, was my quick recap of the show. Pretty fun and exciting. Next week, looks even better. Here is the US Preview for Heroes 2×08 “Four Months Ago”:
My good friend, John, wrote a post earlier today titled, “Heroes Season 2 Officially Sucks“. Now, I have to admit that I have been enjoying the tv show Chuck a little more than Heroes so far, but seriously does Heroes suck?
My answer is:
“No! The Bionic woman sucks… Heroes does not suck!
In fact, I still think that Heroes is a really good tv show.
I agree with John that it would have been nice for all the Heroes to meet up and join together to fight the bad guys. I also agree that there are a few parts of the story that just don’t make sense, but it’s just a tv show and it’s still a fun show to watch.
They have introduced some interesting new characters (Like Bob and Kensei) and some not so interesting characters (like Maya and Alejandro). However, I think that one of the characters I am not very fond of, Alejandro, is going to become a VERY interesting character. Sure, I don’t like Maya’s whole black plague power, but Alejandro seems to have the ability to reverse her power. What if he can reverse other people’s powers? Wouldn’t it be cool to see Sylar attack Alejandro and instead of cutting open Alejandro’s head, Sylar cuts open his own head? You know that’s got to be coming, right?
I think that Season 2 of Heroes still has a lot of potential and will be VERY entertaining the rest of the season. The end of the last episode with Kensei hitting Hiro, Peter in the future, and Noah discovering the pictures is what I think will mark the starting point of a really awesome Season 2.
So, do you think Heroes sucks or not?
Take the poll below and let us know…
In this week’s Heroes comic we get to see Molly’s nightmare. Apparently, Molly doesn’t like cockroaches…
You can read the graphic novel by clicking here.
Also, here are the previews for next week’s episode of Heroes 2×6 “The Line”. It looks Sylar wants to kill off Maya and Alejandro. Too bad he can’t kill off the Bionic woman…

Which new tv show is your favorite?
This week’s episode of Heroes - “Kindred” was good, bad, and funny all at once. Heroes is my favorite show on tv, so you should always take that into account when reading what I have to say about the episode. I love SUPER HERO shows, always have, always will.
Peter
This week Peter seems to be getting more control over his powers. Peter seems to be better able to control his powers when they come back. It’s like he knows exactly what he can do with his powers when he uses them. I imagine that they will come back quickly.
I didn’t understand why Peter wouldn’t want to learn his true identity. I guess they need to keep him around, because there is more to the Irish gang than what we know. Or maybe they just needed him around so they could send Peter on a date with Caitlin (see Heroes Comic Chapter 54 - Petrified Lightning). My guess is that the gang works for the company. What do you think?
Sylar
The fact that Sylar had no powers was both good and bad to me. I did have a sense of relief when I found out Sylar was powerless in the middle of the nowhere. However, many people think that Sylar is one of the greatest super-villains of all time. What good is he without his powers?
I was kind of glad that Sylar killed off Michelle (aka Candice (aka Betty)). I didn’t really like her freaky ability of being able to change what other people saw. Hopefully, Sylar doesn’t gain her power.
Claire and West
One of the things I really liked about Heroes last year was the way stories are resolved so quickly. It’s not like LOST where you are always LOST and you never seem to learn anything. I am glad that Claire found out about West’s powers so quickly. I still think West is a bad guy, but the story line is moving along well.
My favorite moment from the show was when West was joking around with Claire about not giving herself a manicure, that was funny!
Maya And Alejandro Please Meet Nikki
One interesting thing that I discovered (via the Heroes wiki) is that the Nissan Rogue that the prisoner is driving to help Maya and Alejandro escape has a bumper sticker with the logo for Costa Verde High School (the school Claire is attending). It also has a California license plate.
My least favorite thing from the show were the scenes with Maya and Alejandro. Maybe Nikki’s assignment is to kill them off. Wouldn’t that be cool? Although, if you watch the Canadian trailer for episode 4 (below), you know their fate looks a little worse than meeting up with Nikki.
Noah Bennet vs. Sylar
The thing that bummed me out the most from the show was that it looks like Mr. Bennet is going to be killed off. I like Mr. Bennet too much for them to kill him off. It would be funny if this played out like Season 1’s bomb scenario. The rest of the season Noah Bennet (HRG) tries to figure out how to save his life. It culminates with a showdown in the Season 2 finale that pits powerless Sylar against HRG in a fist fight. Sylar loses the fight and then when nobody is looking he gets dragged down a manhole again 
Final Thoughts
I enjoyed Heroes Kindred. I would have enjoyed it a little more if they had shown the fight that Takezo Kensei had when Hiro left him to face a ton of enemies. While we are on the topic of Takezo, does anyone else think that Takezo is the hooded hero who killed Hiro’s dad?
Anyway, here are the previews for episode four of Heroes, entitled “The Kindness of Strangers” (the Canadian preview shows a lot more):
