I just know that you NEED to read every word I have written about: HARPER'S ISLAND!

Well now you can! I've been blogging about this show at masslive.com, but I didn't want to deprive anyone of my hilarousness, so here it is, in it's entirety, my Harper's Island blogs! (It aired on Saturday nights so I actually missed a few eps, but you can fill in the blanks pretty easily if you have a brain. And yes, I am too cool to stay home and watch a horror/mystery/piece of crap show on Saturday nights. Jealous?)

Okay show, when you kill off the most recognizable actor and likable character in the first episode, (Cousin Ben!! NO!!) it is not a good sign. One of the biggest reasons I was excited about this show as because of my love of Harry Hamlin! As a HUGE Veronica Mars fan I am conditioned to fear him, so when I saw him with his gun I was sure he was up to something nefarious. Instead he was pretty much just up to getting his lower half severed from his torso. So, that was a bummer.

So Hamlin's (Uncle Marty) dead, and I am not going to have his cheesy grin and floppy hair around being some kind of champion of the middle class in the face of rich idiots. (I wonder if Harry Hamlin feels bad that he is only hired to play sleezeballs and womanizers? Maybe it makes him feel good.) I will miss him but I can handle it. Since this is the first episode, let's meet our characters, shall we?

Abby Mills- She arrived in a cab driven by a dude with an eyepatch. Awesome. She's our main character, and I call her "Fun Girl!" because she looks all traumatized and upset all the time. Everyone likes to be around that girl! Right? Her mother was murdered on Harper's Island 6 years ago by some crazed serial killer. Bad relationship with her dad, ran away to LA, feels weird in a tight dress, has an ex who still wants her, real original stuff here. First time back on island in 6 years for the wedding of her BFF--

Henry Dunn- Um, middle class or possible poor, no family to speak of other than Uncle Marty (Now dead. Sadness.) and his weirdo brother, J.D. Cleaned the boats of his fiancee's family. Looks like an elf and jerkish wedding guests are already speculating about his friendship with Abby ("You haven't even hooked up once?") Getting married to--

Trish Wellington- Yes that is her real name. They were really trying to invoke rich jerks with the last name here, and they did so. I assume she is the reason that they are having a WEEK LONG wedding, so I immediately hate her and her rich awfulness. I mean, I guess thanks for giving the murderer a whole week to pick people off Trish! Um, some dude named Hunter is being paid by her dad to stop her wedding to a pauper. Probably her ex or something.

Chloe and Cal- I call them "The horrible blonde people" I cannot believe one of them didn't get murdered, and Harry Hamlin did! I guess one plus of this Agatha Christie (can't wait for the parlor scene!)/horror movie premise is that you can keep your fingers crossed that the characters you really hate will die brutally. That sounds awful, but come on, what are you watching this for? Anyway, these two better not make it to the end of the show. She's a horrible idiot, he wants to propose to her (so he is a horrible idiot too) but because of their mutual awfulness, he lost the ring in the ocean. Come on killer, GET THESE TWO!

J.D. Dunn- Henry's weird brother, totally going to get blamed for being a murderer, has a lot of tattoos, and when they were revealed the music actually went "DUN DUN!!" like having tattoos always = murderer. So apparently this show is set in some other time when every person under 40 didn't have at least 1 tattoo. Anyway, he's all weird and suicidal, peeps on the island don't like him.

Jimmy Mance- Fisherman dude. Closest thing we have to a hot guy on this show. Loves Abby. Seems nice. Probably a serial killer.

Shea Allen-Trish's sister. Has a totally creepy little child, Madison. Trish thinks she has the perfect life, but obviously does not know about the "Shining"action that is going on with her kid.

Thomas Wellington Dad of Trish and Shea. Trying to stop Trish from marrying Henry (good start, throwing her a WEEK LONG WEDDING!) Hates poor people.

Charlie Mills- Abby's dad. Their relationship is fraught. If this doesn't get canceled, maybe we'll find out with what.

There are about a million other characters on this show, so we have lots of potential victims and killers, but these are the only ones that seemed important in this first episode. Abby is our main character, so we can assume she'll make it through the end. (Maybe she'll be the killer!) She's a typical TV "weird girl" so we are supposed to relate with her or something I guess.If we are weird. There were lots of fake-out jump-scares (birds, where did Chloe go?!! etc.) and a few genuinely creepy moments (seeing cousin Ben tied to the boat, when Uncle Marty fell through the bridge) but it was mostly filmed like a bad slasher movie. Also, sometimes it was just plain BORING. So next week, you better wow me Harper's Island!!

Fun facts:
Two Cassidys are in this show, Elaine as Abby and Katie as Trish! (She is very pretty) And Trish's Dad is played by Richard Burgi, who played Michael Cassidy # 2 on Judging Amy! Coincidence?

Looking at my notes, I wrote about my hatred for Chloe and Cal and my desire for them to be killed FOUR times! The words "Best murders ever!" were used.

Next week: Henry and Trish are making out grossly! EWWW. Also, some people get killed.

Why did you want to get married there again?

These pictures of the cast are really weird.

So, one time, your best friend's mother was brutally murdered, along with 5 other people, on a secluded island in the Pacific Northwest. Why, when planning your fabulous week-long wedding with your rich fiancee, would you think, "Hey that island where I worked and there we some horrible murders! That's a good spot to get married!" No, no you would not think that. You know who would think that? The elfin mind of Henry Dunn, the groom. So we already know, he's not a smart guy, nor is he a very sensitive guy. That has been established for us. So let's go forward for the rest of the season with that in mind.

Alright. So we beheaded a priest, hung a goth girl and set an annoying chick on fire. (I hope the dog was ok!) Also, we had bad grammar in the intro (Abby said, but I can't help feel something is wrong..." but feel? feeling? Nope. She just said feel.) This episode was pretty brutal! Things have really gone down hill fast at the Wellington/Dunn wedding extravaganza. This is a warning to all rich people. No one wants to use their vacation days to attend an entire WEEK of events centered around your wedding. Some people get really mad about it, and just start killing the hell out of guests. So, maybe just one or two days is enough celebrating your love then?

We learned that Abby has a standard weird girl gone good job, writer. Also, I have noticed that she looks completely dead behind the eyes, like a Kardashian sister. It freaks me out. She goes running alone out in the woods even though she "can't help feel something is wrong". I guess we know why she is best friends with Henry now.

Things that made me laugh: (in a good-bad way)
Deer killings. What a ridiculous way to make sure like 80% of the characters will spend the day covered in blood. Like there is a murderer, and there is probably some other weirdo (J.D.) who thinks deer corpses make great pranks. A lot of weird people rocking out on Harper's Island.
Scavenger hunt!!! Of course these people would force their wedding guests to go on a scavenger hunt that they don't even plan on participating in on murder island! They think that having a week long wedding is a great idea! I actually kind of liked it that everyone quit. Because really, after the bar part, everyone would.

Sex scenes- OMG this show is not shy about showing skin! Both the Trish/Henry sex scene and the Kelly/JD sex scene GROSSED ME OUT. I yelled EWWW a lot. The chocolate thing? No No No.

Killed the priest- another character we had never met and didn't care about even a little. Ditto for Lucy really.

Characters that we did learn a little about:

Cal is kind of growing on me. Not Chloe. Still hate her.

Shane = horrible jerk

Sully = horrible jerk

Danny = horrible jerk

Dad = horrible jerk

Hunter = horrible jerk

So, there was a lot of character development then.

Next week: Bodies are found! People make out! People scream!!!!!

Slowing down on the murdering quite a bit.

So in the last episode, we had 3 people get brutally killed, but in this one, things are definitely slowing down with just one murder. However, I think the reason is that the show wanted to do something wacky and actually develop the characters a bit before killing them off! Wow, show, I am sort of half impressed at your half trying to make Harper's Island something not awful.

So what did we learn about the characters? We learned that Abby (Elaine Cassidy) is not just a weird girl who is super smart and so cool that her best friend is a dude (we all know guys are awesome people), she is also hot! We learned this from the fact that instead of wearing jeans and a t-shirt, they put her in a bikini and then a tank top from which her breasts were in constant danger of falling out. We got a little more of an insight into her daddy issues (she's a little crazy about it, since she was simultaneously yelling at her father FOR investigating Kelly's death and FOR NOT investigating Kelly's death.) One more thing, considering the way she talked Shane down, looks like she's be a great hostage negotiator or something. So if this writer thing doesn't work out, she has something to fall back on!

We learned that Abby's dad doesn't really know what he's doing copping-wise, as evidenced by the fact that he burst in and almost got J.D. killed. And he won't tell his civilian daughter whom hasn't seen in 7 years every detail of the investigation! Just kidding that makes perfect sense.

We learned that Henry (Christopher Gorham) is almost kind of cool and brave! I mean stood up to his future-father-in-law pretty awesomely, and set up his fiancee in a great trap to prove her love! On the other hand though, maybe the fact that he had to do that and the fact that he is already asking his future brother-in-law about how he could possibly be happy as a Wellington (answer: banging the step-mom) don't really bode well for Henry and Trish. Whatever, he still looks like an elf.

Trish (Katie Cassidy) is obviously pretty self-absorbed, as she has not noticed that one of her bridesmaids has been missing for at least a day. I hope that if I ever fall into a hole and get doused with gasoline and set on fire, my friends miss me pretty quickly.

We learned that Cal (Adam Campbell) and Chloe (Cameron Richardson) are kind of funny. His line "I wake up every day praying she doesn't meet a cooler British person." actually made me laugh out loud! I still hate her though. I have to admit, I think it's her face.

We found out that even though he is super wealthy, Thomas Wellington, (Richard Burgi) doesn't even have an IPhone or a Blackberry or anything. Maybe that's how he got rich, by just getting the free phone every time he gets a new contract and not spending stupid amount of money on a nicer phone. Also, he is still a horrible jerk, in case you were wondering.

All of Henry's friends = still jerks. Especially that Sully guy.

Shane = still a jerk, and also now a kidnapper and attempted murderer. So now we know he's not the killer.

J.D. is really not that weird, but he does seem to have a huge chip on his shoulder about people thinking he is weird. I'm not yet sure if this is character development or just a flaw in the writing.

Hunter was also still horrible and creepy (very tall) and I like how they pretty much made him so odious that you were kind of happy when that crazy gun in the engine contraption got him.
No cute Jimmy. He was probably out setting up that incredibly creative way that Hunter got murdered.

Next week: More murdering! That's just an assumption. Also, they find Hunter's body, which is pretty incredible, because they are really bad at finding dead bodies on this island. Currently we are talking 2 out of 6.

Well, now people on Harper's Island are just dying from their own stupidity and greed.

They don't even need a murderer! (Unless of course the ingenious murderer just made it LOOK LIKE Booth shot himself in the leg ... which, would be kind of dumb. So that is probably what happened.)
So let's start off with what I know we are all thinking ... OF COURSE Trish and Henry are both having day-long bachelor/bachelorette parties! They think they deserve their stupid wedding to be celebrated for a whole week, so of course they think that they should each have a party that lasts the entire day to celebrate the end of bachelorhood for them.

How do these people even have friends?

Oh that's right, their friends are INCREDIBLY HORRID PEOPLE.
Henry (Christopher Gorham) and Trish (Katie Cassidy) look like angels next to their friends (and family!). Well, not angels really. Considering the fact that in the face of discovering a dead body, Henry looked more mildly perturbed than horrified, and when her niece broke that teacup, I thought Trish (and the girl's mom!) was actually going to punch her in the face (they at least wanted to), I guess 'angels' is being a little generous.
Still, their friends suck.

One such completely terrible person is Malcolm, who not only hid one dead body that he didn't even know and stole money from him, he let his jumpy friend then take responsibility for his stupid actions, then stole the money from his DEAD FRIEND and didn't tell anyone that he was dead in the woods. That guy could not be crying enough in his room! My hate for Malcolm is HUGE. I am ready for the murderer to take him out.

Even the rest of the groomsmen are really only concerned about themselves and MAYBE a little bit about not ruining the stupid wedding, but not at all about the DEAD GUY they just sunk. Everyone's got a family right? Nice dudes. Real nice. I like how it was someone they knew, but nobody even bothered to turn the guy over and find out. These people are horrible.

Oh, Jimmy and Abby (Elaine Cassidy) are so cute, he is so nice that he helps old ladies every week and never got over her, she is lonely and needs a hug from him. Ugh. He is totally the murderer.

Remind me not to hire that psychic for my next party, as screaming and freaking everyone out does not really = fun in my book. Like Abby isn't weird and paranoid enough on her own, she needs some psychic to yell at her and run away!

I do like how Jimmy told her he wanted her to "enjoy her time on the island." Yes, Abby, enjoy your time on our murderous island where you discovered your dead mother hanging from a tree! Why aren't you enjoying this more? Killjoy.

Mystery questions:
• What is up with the weird newspaper girl?
• Did Richard almost drown Trish on purpose so she wouldn't talk about his affair with Catherine?
• Did that creepy little girl break that tea-set?
• Is the psychic real or a fraud someone paid to freak out Abby?
• Will anyone ever notice that Lucy has been missing for days?

Next week: Maybe someone will figure out that there has been A LOT of murdering going on here.

Finally realizing something is a little off!

It's Daddy-Daughter day on Harper's Island!
This week's episode gave us a little more of that character development that this show is often sorely lacking. We got a little glimpse into some of the relationships on the show, and there were even a few parts that were truly suspenseful! Good on you Harper's Island!

Abby (Elaine Cassidy) got busted spending the night at Jimmy's by her Dad. Looks like we are supposed to infer that they didn't sleep together since she woke up on the couch. What is wrong with you Abby?! I thought that people on TV always comforted themselves with sex, but apparently Abby just hugs and sleeps on the couch. Lame. Even though he is probably going to turn out to be a psycho killer, Jimmy is still the hottest guy on the show. By far.

We learned that Trish (Katie Cassidy) thinks Lucy left, which I guess explains why no one was worried that she might have fallen in a hole and gotten set on fire. The fact that Henry (Christopher Goren) and Trish are willing to believe that Lucy, Booth, Trish's cousin and Henry's uncle would just ditch their wedding week extravaganza without word shows us a little about their relationships. People don't like them much, and they know it.
I thought the scenes with Trish and her Dad (Richard Burgi) were pretty good, humanizing his character a bit and showing that these two do have a real bond, despite the fact that he tried to pay a sleazebag to ruin her wedding.

I am pretty disappointed that the Catherine and Richard reveal won't have any follow up with Thomas, since an axe fell on his head at the end of this episode, because that guy can do blustery rage pretty darn well. He's really the first character that has actually been developed before his death, and I'm going to miss him!

Other thoughts about this ep:

-Abby is a terrible "best man". She is really ridiculously wrapped up in her own stuff and would not help poor Henry at all! He did have his wedding at the sight of her mother's murder though, so I guess I can't really blame her.

-Henry is dumb if he can't just pick out some damn napkin rings or whatever. Get it together man!

-Maggots are disgusting.

-No one tells anyone anything on this show! "We had an accident" is how Trish and her dad describe being hit off their bikes by a log trap thing and attacked by some crazy guy's evil dog, which they had to kill! Sure, just an accident.

-Um, I still really hate Malcolm, and actually wrote "Yeah cry idiot! This IS all your fault!" I cannot believe he buried poor Booth and is now just pretending he doesn't know where he is. Real nice.

-J.D. and that creepy little girl make a great twosome.

-Ooh, I'm glad that Lucy's dog is ok!

-I really liked how when Henry came to see Madison, her mother was like "I'm sure she'd enjoy the company." Maybe if you didn't ignore your daughter all the time she wouldn't be so darn creepy!

-And finally, someone found a dead body! Thank goodness only like 5 or 6 people have to get murdered around these people before they get suspicious.

Next week: OMG people are finally freaking out at a reasonable level in these circumstances!!

Love (and also murder) is in the air!

Due to some DVR related mishaps, I missed last week's episode, but to be honest, it didn't take me long to catch up! I am a little disappointed that I missed everyone realizing that there was a crazy murderer loose on the island, but this week almost made up for it! There were a few things I was pretty excited about, but as a reflection of my lameness, we will start with the thing I was most excited about, THE FISH KISS!!!

Maybe it was the cute flashback of Jimmy running after Abby's boat, maybe it was the Death Cab for Cutie, maybe it was my shock that I am actually feel slightly invested in these characters, I don't know, but I was really quite excited by the fish kiss! Now I am going to be SO PISSED if Jimmy is revealed to be the killer! I mean they already drew comparisions between him and Wakefield (the mom saying I used to date guys like that) so hopefully that is a big red herring. Because he and Abby are super cute. They should get married. Maybe they can take over Henry and Trish's aborted wedding!

The other super awesome thing that happened was that Danny punched Malcolm! I kind of wished he beat the crap out of him, but he did get brutally murdered not long afterward, so I guess I can be happy with that. I mean you definitely deserve to get punched if you leave your friend to die in the woods because you really need money to finance your stupid business idea, but I suppose you don't deserve to be brutally murdered while burning said money.

Ok, other things happened on this episode, such as:

We got to see some flashbacks of the first murders and how they affected the relationships of our characters. Pretty interesting and I thought that the scene where Abby witnessed a murder was actually really scary!

Trish wants to call off the wedding.

Abby's dumb dad actually said the words "Looks like we found our killer" we soon as he found Uncle Marty's cell phone in J.D.'s pocket. A little premature perhaps Sheriff?

Um, Abby's mom totally deserved to get killed for dating that dude in high school. (No, not really! Jeez!)

Abby took Trish to see her Dad's dead body and was weirdly excited about it. "You ready?!"

It seems murder often thwarts sex between Jimmy and Abby. Do you think the universe is trying to tell them something? Me neither.

If you just witnessed a murder and saved your girlfriend from getting killed, why would you leave her if you saw that she was hiding in a bush like 2 feet away from you?! That is a weird thing to do Jimmy, even if you didn't want her to "think she owed you something."

Creepy little Madison got kidnapped or something.

That burned guy who sicks his dog on people is apparently supposed to be less than crazy.

Um I got bored a little.

Next week: PEOPLE ARE FREAKING OUT! AND STUCK ON THE ISLAND! OMG!

The blog in which I predict the ending wrong....AGAIN!

Well this was J.D's (Dean Chekvala) swan song. He jerkily escaped from prison leaving Shane to die if the killer wanted, and then basically told Abby (Elaine Cassidy) that all the murders were somehow her fault, before he was shuffled off this mortal coil by someone. (The killer? Henry? Henry who is the killer?) J.D.'s final episode was a fairly eventful one, but it was still somehow kind of boring. Things that were kind of awesome include:
Danny (Brandon Jay McLaren), one of the only nice people Trish and Henry are friends with, refusing to leave the island if it would hurt Madison (Cassandra Sawtell) , being helpful, and still talking about what a horrible horrible person Malcolm (Chris Gauthier) is for letting Booth (Sean Rogerson) die in the woods and burying him there. Yay Danny!

They actually found a few bodies! Congrats on catching up people.

They actually realized that ALL of those missing people are probably dead! Congrats on catching up people!

Cal (Adam Campbell) is back! And better than ever! Pointing out that "panicked inexperienced people should not be handling weapons." Not running away on the boat just in case it would cause Madison to be hurt! Forcing Chloe (Cameron Richardson) to be less odious! I did not think I would like this guy when the show started, but I will tell you this, he is one of my favorite characters.

The fact that everyone ignores the Step-Mother because she had an affair with her stepdaughter's husband. Like, no one mentions it because that would gauche, but no one really talks to her.

Jimmy! (C.J. Thomason) Yay Jimmy! He better not be the killer.

That crazy guy adopting Lucy's dog. Pretty funny. What will happen to that dog now that his second owner in a row got murdered?!

Things that pretty much sucked include:
Fakeout of Henry (Christopher Gorham) as the murderer. It is so not going to be him. I would be totally cool with it if he did turn out to be the murderer though!

Eww I hate when things are super bloody!

How many bodies does Abby have to discover before she stops gagging and almost puking when she sees one? It grosses me out.

So this weird burned guy has only been on the island for a few weeks? He made a LOT of weird booby traps in that amount of time.

Shane did not deserve any of the screen time he got. I hate that guy.

That during a search for a missing child, Henry was all "Hey Abby, thanks for giving that picture to Trish (Katie Cassidy)" Now is not the time to discuss your relationship dude!

That everyone decided to split up and search for a child on an island where people are getting murdered left and right.

Um, I should have mentioned this before, but I find the whole picking the next victim online thing to be REALLY CREEPY.

Next week: Jimmy won't let the killer get Abby! SWOON!

It's all kind of (sort of) coming together now!

This Saturday night time slot is killing me! (No pun intended) So because of my busy social schedule (I am very popular!) I have to write about the last two episodes together. Forgive me please! Last week's episode was pretty uneventful, though we did discover that there is a possibility that Abby (Elaine Cassidy) is Wakefield's daughter, which does put some pieces into place. It also made us think that Abby's Dad (The one we know!) may be the real killer!

Then I watched the second episode. And something terrible happened. They blew up Jimmy.
Abby and I had the same reaction to Jimmy's boat blowing up.So I guess I will take comfort the fact it seems like he is going to live, and try not be too destroyed by his seeming death and decently surprising resurrection. Good thing I didn't have to wait a whole week to find out that he was alive! If Sully (Matt Barr) AND Shane (Ben Cotton) made it and Jimmy (C.J. Thomason) died, I would be sure there is no justice on Harper's Island.

Then they shot CAL! After Jimmy, Cal (Adam Campbell) is for sure the best guy on the show. Funny, sweet and British! Everyone loves a guy who proposes during a crazy, life threatening situation and still has a smile on his face! What the hell show, you have like 3 likable characters (Danny (Brandon Jay McClaren) is still the smartest and nicest guy on the damn island, even if he is a little bland) and you are maiming the hell out of 2 of them in one episode!
Don't die Cal!

Then of course, after totally making it seem like Abby's dad (Jim Beaver) was the killer and that Abby could be Wakefield's child, he was killed horribly and it was revealed that DUN DUN he is Abby's real Dad and DUN DUN the killer is Wakefield. Which is kind of lame because we already pretty much knew that. He is the original killer. Of course he had help and I am sure that will be a crazy and surprising reveal (PLEASE don't let it by Jimmy!), but still, it's kind of lame that the killer is the same killer everyone already knew about.

Farewell Sheriff Mills. Sorry for thinking you were the killer for like, five minutes.
In the first of these two episodes, Beth (random bridesmaid) and the stepson-in-law screwing stepmother got killed too. I also mourn for them.

Stray thoughts:
I love how last week's episode drops right into the action! Not really, everyone was weirdly calm and quiet after all the insanity of J.D.'s death and Henry standing there all bloody! It was pretty much a snoozefest for the first 15 minutes!

It seems like everyone moves around INCREDIBLY quickly on this island. They are all as fast as The Flash! So either it is very small, or everyone is moving at lightening speed.

I'm glad Shea got to yell at her stepmother for sleeping with her husband before the stepmother got stabbed with a gardening tool.

I loved it when Jimmy and Henry (Christopher Gorham) were defending Abby! Man Sully and Shane are SUCH jerks.

Henry was like some kind of tiny ninja during that fight with Shane.

I'm coming around on Chloe (Cameron Richardson). Cal better be OK!

Oooh it's Nikki (Ali Liebert), a random character we forgot! And Sully made out with her!

Alright, sure.

Next week: I don't have any plans for Saturday night, so maybe I will actually watch it on time! (eta, I didn't)

SEASON FINALE TIME PEOPLE (spoiler alert, Henry is the killer!)

So after watching the last episodes of Harper's Island, I have a few questions:

Where are all the other residents of this place? Because it seems to be portrayed as a place that people live, but somehow, by the end of the show, the entire place is completely abandoned? Or are we supposed to believe that Henry and Wakefield killed some other people offscreen or something?

Another question is, why are these people so inept with guns? And why is Wakefield some kind of superman that cannot be defeated, except at the end there, when he could? These questions will never be answered. Because the show is over, and I was wrong, because the killers were Wakefield and Henry, not Jimmy. I was right though, when I said Henry was a horrible person. I just didn't know how horrible! Or how creepy!

So Henry was the killer. It became pretty obvious in the first hour of the season finale that Jimmy was nothing but a red herring, and at that point it was clear that it had to be Henry. There wasn't really another character that had ties to the island, or that creepy weird dimple face that he's sporting.

I feel like the whole "I decided to kill everyone so we could live together in a freakish incestuous, gross gross relationship" is kind of a weak motive, mostly because I feel like Henry really could have gotten Abby to love him since they were BFF and just never told her that they were brother and sister. I guess he was just bonding with his dad a little by murdering people before he settled down with his wife/sister. EWW. I really did not call the whole incest twist at all. Good for me, I say.

I have to admit though, the last three episodes were pretty scary, (maybe even a little too gruesome) and even had some poignant moments. The way Cal and Chloe went out made me tear up a little! (And to think when we first met these two, I was just wishing for thier deaths! Good job show!) And Henry's death at the end was pretty affecting, even if he was a creepy murderer in love with his own sister.

Stray thoughts I had during the season finale:

Wakefield = Not that scary looking.

Sully = dumb (I had this thought many times during this show, but I was pretty sad when he died anyway, because he spent these two episodes acting kind of decent and nice! Still not smart though.)

I loved how Sully was all chivalrous and wanted to let Abby kill Wakefield. A gentleman always lets a lady kill the murdering psychopath. That's just etiquette!

Also, he really knows when to pull out the taser! Damn, why couldn't Sully have lived?! Because he "dogged Trish", that's why.

You know I am super bummed that Danny didn't make it.

I know she's just a little kid, but Madison seems to withhold really important information ALL THE TIME.

I actually wrote at one point in my notes "Could it be Henry? It can't be!" But it could be. And it was.

By putting on her wedding dress, it is as if Trish was actually asking to be murdered brutally. If there is a psycho running around, do not tempt fate by getting all dressed up in your wedding dress so you can be murdered dramatically! Bad move Trish. Bad move.

Even though it was clear she was going out, I was really hoping that Jimmy and Abby would save her! This was before I realized they were going to kill absolutely everyone left on the island besides those two. That is a horror movie cliche that I really wish the show hadn't gone with, actually. There was really no need to have almost no survivors other than the main character and her boyfriend, both of whom seemed pretty guaranteed to stay alive.

Those flashback scenes from when Henry and Abby were kids were sweet. They upped the sadness quotient!

I love that little Henry really hates Tacoma. It is kind of a gross city.

I still love Jimmy, and I am so glad that he lived AND he wasn't the killer! I am kind of in shock over it actually! And they totally made out on the Coast Guard boat, which let's admit is kind of weird. I would probably want to hug or something, but making out seems like a weird thing to do in front of those Coast Guard guys after seeing most of the people you know brutally killed, and killing your best friend/brother who was one of the murderers. Granted I have never been in this type of situation, so I really don't know. I do know that Jimmy is hot though!

Imagine what a morose weirdo Abby is going to be now! She better just stick with Jimmy, and they can go to therapy together and shit.

Well I guess this is it! I don't have Harper's Island to kick around anymore! No more horrible Trish and Henry, no more hot Jimmy, no more weird girl Abby, no more idiotic Sully, no more jerky Shane, no more creepy Madison. I think I'm going to miss them! At least the kid and her mom got off the island too. That kind of makes me feel better.

So the moral of this story is very very simple: If a psychopath gets you pregnant, DO NOT give up your child for adoption, then let said child become best friends with the child you had with your nice husband, and never tell either child about it OR even have the adoptive parents mention to the kid that he is adopted, because if you do, then he will grow up to be a crazy murderer who is in love with his own sister. And no one wants that. The end.

90210-Dreams CAN Come True!

There weren't any pictures of Annie (Shenae Grimes, who I'm sure is a lovely person.) covered in someone's drink, so we'll have to start out with the second best image of the night; Brenda (Shannon Doherty) and her dragon.

This show was so filled with crazy plotlines and dream sequences I thought I was watching Twin Peaks or something! They've got a lot of balls in the air here, so let's just do a rundown!

-Parents: Threw a completely dorky after prom party that their own children did not even consider going to, like not even for a second, and ended up stoned at the hospital with poor Kelly (Jenny Garth). Who, by the way, DOES have a crush on Harry, but who DID NOT mention her past as a cocaine-addicted cult member who shot and killed her own rapist. I just don't know why they don't incorporate her character's rich history into this show! Rob Estes and Lori Loughlin were pretty darn funny last night, all loopy on pot brownies.

-Naomi/Liam/Annie/Jen: OH MY GOD Jen is the worst person in the world! And such a fricken ho-bag!!! A bag of hos! I wish Ryan Matthews could see her now! (He's probably chaperoning that nerdy after prom party) Naomi and Liam were so adorable last week, but I kind of dug how they were driven apart by Jen's horrible scheming and not because Liam really liked stupid Annie. (Though he was drawing a picture of her, which is odd...) Also, the payoff of Annie getting a drink thrown on her and then going CRAZY was totally worth it. So what do you guys think she hit when she was drunk/rage driving anyway? A person? A dog? A minotaur perhaps?

-Ethan/Silver/Dixon: While this triangle kind of came out of the blue, I have actually been really enjoying it! Dixon is such a mopey loser these days that OF COURSE I was hoping for Silver and Ethan to make out hotly, and they did! Now just tell me that Ethan is staying on next season, and I will be a happy camper, shipping Ether or whatever other couple name you can come up with! It was completely great that Ethan was carrying around that picture of Silver that must have been taken literally moments before at the prom. That is devotion people, someone who will carry a picture of you around for minutes at a time! Also, the best thing about this picture on the left is that is shows us that Dixon's screen saver is of him and his best buddies! Looks like that's just about to implode dude!

-Navid/Adrianna/Brenda/Baby
Ok, so of course this was my favorite storyline (aside from the whole Annie getting a drink thrown on her thing) and despite some total weirdness (Dream Brenda!) I thought it was really well done. Jessica Lowndes is really carrying this show as far as dramatic acting goes, and she did not disappoint last night. When Navid told her that the adoptive parents were there and she started crying and saying "See! This is why I didn't want to hold her!" I was choked up! It's a bummer that her mother wasn't in any of the scenes (it really seemed like Brenda was filling that role which was a bit strange.), but all in all I think that they were great. I also really loved the scene with Navid and Ty, especially since even Ty seemed completely amazed that he had just done a non-douchebaggy thing there. Me too Ty, me too.

And yay! Brenda's a mommy! I hope that isn't their way of writing out her character though! Also, she should be the one with Dylan's baby!!!! NOT KELLY!!!! Sorry, I still get a little worked about that.

So that's it. 90210 is over for the season! We know that it will definitely be coming in the fall, THANK GOD and with it there will also be a Melrose Place reboot. Tuesdays are going to rule!

90210! Prom! So cute!

Well, promos for next week aside, there was a lot of adorability going on in this week's 90210. Silver got awesome again, Naomi and Liam were super cute, Navid and Adrianna were super cute and an entire plot line of the episode revolved around people hating Annie! 90210, you know how to bring me in!

Ok, so I think my absolute favorite part of the whole show as when Silver made her little speech about realizing she didn't want to be a prom loving zombie loser! It was awesome! The whole time I was thinking that Silver used to be so cool and now she is spray tanning herself and crap like that, and lo and behold, she was thinking the same thing! I wanted to smack Dixon for sitting there and pouting like a little baby instead of realizing that his girlfriend was cool and ready to be herself again! By the way, the whole Ethan/Silver thing that seems to be developing is pretty interesting. I would actually be getting really invested in the idea of these two if I didn't already know that Ethan was leaving the show. Save Ethan!!!

Naomi and Liam were pretty much completely adorable in that last scene. My favorite thing ever was when she got so excited that he looked at her Facebook to find out her favorite flower! As if that takes any effort at all! It must be so great to be someone like Liam, where putting the tiniest amount of effort into something is enough to make someone ridiculously happy. Maybe I need to start doing less for people....hmmm. Anyway, Naomi and Liam are hot, and there little dance in the snow was so cute I almost died. Please disregard the preview for next week, as that is what I am trying to do here.

Ade and Navid= cute. Always. I loved how they were taking pictures holding out her HUGE prego belly. I also was psyched to see Navid punch Ty for her honor and totally just get away with it because she went into labor! Nice.

Another thing that was super great? How everyone on this show hates Annie, including the writers. HAHA. Liam better be being mean to Annie because he hates her, because if he likes her, that is totally not believable.

There were a few weird/icky things going on though, including:

-Jen and Matthews. Really? Are we supposed to like him at all at this point, because he was a complete douche to Kelly when she was pointing out a fact that should be pretty damn obvious to him, which is "Jen is not a nice person."

-Jen stealing Naomi's money. I hate her. (It is pretty cool how both actresses talk in that same strange accent though.)

-Jen being mean to Kelly. And being married I guess, but actually I don't really care about that at all.

-Is Kelly into Harry? I could be into this getting all crazy like that with "good" characters doing bad things, but is 90210 ready to take that risk?

-Mentioned before, but man Dixon, do you have to be such a whiny baby about everything?! Ugh. Here is what I wrote about him while watching: "Dixon is kind of a lame, mopey loser." Still true.

Next week: Ugh, I don't want to talk about it. Season finale though!

90210-Dashing my dreams of teenage marriage.

So this episode of 90210 was all about relationships and not making huge horrible mistakes. And, more importantly, they gave Annie (Shenae Grimes) a funny line! "Oh yeah, I can't wait to go back and celebrate the fact that two delusional sixteen-year-olds have decided to ruin their lives!" I really really hate Annie, so whenever the show makes me like her for even a second, I feel like it is truly a triumph. So tonight, 90210, you have truly triumphed. Also, you made an entire episode about my fave couple Adrianna and Navid, so I was pretty darn happy.

Adrianna and Navid will not be getting married. I can take it, but only because they are still engaged to be engaged, so my dream of them staying together forever and always being happy and adorable can still live on. Thank goodness. I thought that Jessica Lowndes and Michael Steger did a great job in those two scenes at the end of the episode! Navid telling Adrianna that he loved her and then her reply about not being able to keep the baby totally tugged at the heartstrings! You might think that I am a hardened cynic, but I cannot get enough of the cuteness of these two!

Because of their adorkableness, I was able to overlook the following things!

The fact that there is no way that Deb would have let Anne and Naomi throw that combo baby/wedding shower for a sixteen year old at their house. That was weird. And she participated in it like she was so excited for the child bride! You would have thought that was my house or something!

Even though we have NEVER seen Liam interact with Navid or Dixon, he still mugged some dudes to get them into a burlesque club or something. If it were a real strip club maybe, but a burlesque club? Really? The whole thing was very strange.

Liam is still acting like he likes Annie and finds her interesting. This is crazy, as she is awful.

en. All of it. Blackmailing the dad, lying to Naomi, dating Ryan Matthews, spending a million dollars in a month, being generally annoying.

The fact that we are supposed to believe that these people would all sit together at lunch. They wouldn't. The only way they are all connected to each other is because they are all on this show. Work on that 90210.

The crazy amount of Tupperware Navid and Adrianna were using at lunch.

Ryan's fake novel, and the fact that he seems to like Jen and not find her horrible. He is getting less cute by the second!

There were a few non Adrianna and Navid things that I kind of loved.

I LOVE drunk Dixon.

Dixon and Silver are actually getting cute and kind of interesting again, which is good, because they used to be one of the best couples on the show.

Beach yoga! That just seems cool.

Looks like hats are making a comeback! Congrats hat people!

The use of Right Said Fred's "Too Sexy" to score the toilet paper wedding dress fashion show. (In which Deb vigorously participated!)

Naomi's hysterical (and very in-character) inability to read the room when Adrianna and Navid were standing there panicking while she made her speech about supporting their marriage.

Silver's hair.

Naomi looking INSANE when she saw Liam and Annie talking. Fatal Attraction here we come!

So all in all, it was a pretty good episode, filled with cuteness!

Next Week: Prom! We get labor and Kelly vs. Jen! This is the first time in my life I have said this, but GO KELLY!!!

90210-There are some people that I love on this show...

This week 90210 started with Adrianna and Navid's fantasy life, which coincidentally is also exactly like my fantasy of their marriage! I also really liked Navid's description of how is parents would react. The payoff of them reacting like that wasn't even that funny, but Navid's description of them was pretty hysterical. I also loved how touched she was his pawnshop ring. I also kind of loved that his parents were pretty reasonable about the whole thing, telling him he just couldn't marry her but they could still date or whatever. But, Navid has turned his back on them anyway and moved in with Adrianna her sometimes awful/sometimes nice mom. And yes, I will be starting every single 90210 post with a review of what happened to Adrianna and Navid, because I love them. Oh one more thing, the going out coming back in thing Navid was doing after Ade revealed that Ty was the babydaddy? SO DARN CUTE.

Ok, so there are other people on this show. Other people I like even! Such as Naomi (Annalynn McCord) ! Here are things I loved about her in this episode:

She and Liam had sex in Annie's bed. (And then after she mentioned it as she said that 'sex in your bed' was "just an expression!)

She called Harry "Principal Boxer Shorts"

She talks about going to the gynecologist and being sexually responsible even though other people (including parents!) act like this is weird and gross.

She cut up some ugly jeans that Dixon had. (He will probably thank her later)

She had a more mature reaction to Adrianna and Navid's engagement than I did.

She forced Annie to go on a date with someone named 'Brew Dog

She called Liam a 'huge douchebag'.

She knew immediately that the idea that Liam could like Annie better than her for ANY reason (because she is so smart and no nonsense or whatever? Please!) was crazy ridiculous.

So she pretty much rocked it out this ep, as usual.

The whole Silver story is just not thrilling me, though I did like it when she told off that crazy Catholic school girl! Also, when she said to her "That's why I left. Things like the soda stuff" to her. I really don't get why Kelly let her go to this school though.

Sometimes watching this show really makes me miss the OC, which was supposed to be kind of a new 90210, and was actually really really good. I've got to get that on DVD.

One thing I did not like that Naomi did in this episode was introduce her horrible sister Jen. Jen looks like a model, slept with Ethan (ewww) and already has her eye Matthews, whom she BETTER STAY AWAY FROM if she knows what's good for her. Umm, I don't like her. And that is what I have to say about that. Also, Naomi living with the Wilson's was the only thing was the only thing making them at all interesting, and Jen's arrival stopped all that.

Next Week: Eww. Jen. Eww.

Heroes- Not Awesome.

Sigh. That is pretty much what I have to say about the Heroes season finale. I can barely muster up enough interest to even write about it! (By the way, if you are watching Heroes and not it's lead in Chuck, you are crazy. Chuck is about 10 times more awesome than Heroes could ever hope to be at this point. Watch it at NBC.com and read recaps and reviews at www.televisiononthebrain.blogspot.com Do it now!) Anyway, the Heroes finale happened, and it was pretty much not awesome.

heroesfanatic.comSylar. Gone? Nope. No way.

So what went on to end Season 3? Anything good at all? I suppose. Danko got arrested, jailed and then tranqed, and even though I really wanted Sylar to stab him in the neck, I'm pretty much happy with anything bad happening to that guy.

The way Peter morphed into the president to get Sylar was pretty great and even a tiny bit unexpected. A tiny bit.

Um, it looks like no one's getting fired/leaving the show, and since the cast is one of the only things this show has going for it, I am happy about that.

I think that's it.

Annoying things that went on last night:

Hiro and Ando, bickering about whose power to use, again. At least they got Danko in the end. So that was good.

Also, why does using his power make Hiro having a heart attack or something? And why did this never happen before? And will it happen again? So he is back to being completely useless I guess.

Nathan dying, Sylar becoming Nathan yet still being Sylar. I do not think there could have be a more unsatisfying conclusion to this arc. I mean Nathan is an idiot whose horrible horrible plan created most of the problems plaguing everyone on this show in the first place, but I really like Adrian Pasdar, (especially looking at him) so I would be sad if he were off the show forever. I also really like Zachary Quinto, BUT this is a lame way to get the shock of killing a character while still keeping the actor on the show. LAME. For real.

They formed another Company. Angela and HRG formed another Company without telling their respective children, Peter and Claire. So basically the set up for this season is exactly the same set up for seasons 1 & 2. Peter and Claire really need to stop trusting their parents.

It wasn't good. The characters did not grow, the plot did not move forward, and the set up for the next season is not intriguing. Needless to say, I CANNOT EVEN WAIT until September.

The premise has been completely dismantled--Chuck.

So I really really really want Chuck to get renewed. I don't want this season to be it's last! But damn, it could be huh? I mean the Intersect is out of Chuck's head, he and Sarah have openly acknowledged their feelings and almost slept together, and it seems like the general is going to let him live instead of making Casey kill him (which I do not think Colonel Casey would do anyway...) so other than having a world class asshole on their tail (Damn you Chevy Chase!), their problems are pretty much solved! And you can't have a show without problems! What is going to be next? I don't know! But if it is anything like this episode, what's going to be next will be, well, AWESOME.

Great moments of this ep:

Sarah and I have the same t-shirt! Now if only I looked like that in it...

Chuck and Sarah almost doing it! It is weird how much I want two TV characters to sleep together. I don't know what this says about me...

Casey being a total ass, and then completely redeeming himself! I heart John Casey. Also, the fact that he tore that radiator from the wall was pretty great.

Discussion of torque in regards to killing Chuck with said radiator.

Ellie getting reunited with her Dad and Chuck! Totally sweet.

Awesome being awesome for Chuck and Ellie! The scene where he told her everything was going to be okay was so good. And now he knows about Chuck's secret life!!!

Live the dream Morgan!

Could this be the end of the Buy More? I'll miss Tony Hale, but I could be okay with it.

The team got back together and defeated Fulcrum!

So many hysterical quotes, such as:

“You don’t think I could kill you with my thumb or my elbow?”
“From one stalker to another, I am impressed.”
“I hate this whole family.”
“Want to be my Ass-man?”
"Do all your friends give your mother urinary tract infections?"
“Bro, take another step and I will drop you!”
“Can you be awesome?”
“I’m involved in a major conglomerate of bad guys. Few details escape me.”
“Morgan out.”

and of course this exchange:
Awesome: Look, I know what it's like to be stuck in a dead end job without a girl.
Casey: Really?
Awesome: Well no, but...


Anyway, if this were the way Chuck had to end, I would be satisfied. But fingers crossed, we will be getting a third season! How will it play out? I have no idea, but I already can't wait to see! But hold on, we still have the season finale which has: Bryce Larkin!!! Roark, the world class asshole himself!!! A wedding!!!!
I can already tell, it's going to be great.

90210- Not Better Than Last Week.

There is something seriously wrong with me that I want these two to get married.

I am going to be positive here for a second, and tell you about what I like about 90210. I like Navid and Adrianna! They are so cute that I want to puke with joy. Before he proposed marriage to her (Which I am not even sure we are supposed to be totally against. I mean I know in real life I would be totally against two sixteen-year-olds getting married, but here I feel kind of good about it.), this is what I wrote about Navid, "Most men ten years older than him aren't as awesome or mature as he is!" Yes I wrote that. Yes it makes me sad. Deal with it. Anyway, Navid and Adrianna are awesome, I love them, and I support their ridiculous teenage marriage. So there it is.

Ok, so the rest of the episode did not thrill me the way the Adrianna/Navid scenes did. I feel like I can only tell you the stray thoughts I had about it at this point!!!

Ethan + Liam = Love. If only he wasn't leaving! They could be the new Dylan/Brandon! Ostensibly straight, but completely gay for each other!

Why did Kelly skip work to go to Donna's real estate agent meeting?

The woman who played Madame Flanagan is named Tracie Dinwiddie. Awesome name.

I like how the girls who were awful to Silver clinked smoothies or whatever..."Cheers to being mean!!"

Annie gave a mean nostril flare when she learned about Naomi's dad being a sexual harasser.

I kind of loved that Naomi keyed the car of her manicurist. She is so awful I love her.

Oh haha lesbians are so funny 90210! They hit on Kelly and Donna and drink something called a "Dirty Girl Scout". (Eww.) Wow.

Annie can't have REAL friends because she is so damn annoying.

Kelly is truly an idiot if she believes Silver when she says everything is fine.

I can't believe they had a line about Naomi and Annie eating a lot. No one believes they eat.

Man with a six-pack = Ryan with beer!! I love that this made Kelly sleep with him immediately. Not that I wouldn't.... Also, she gave a freakish little yell/scream as she started making out with him. It was scary.

Ethan! Stop being cool if you are going to leave!!!

I love that Kelly's "you are awesome and everything is going to be fine!" speech didn't make Donna feel better at all. Because that speech never makes anyone feel better, not even an idiot like Donna. That scene was actually a little sad though...

Liam + Naomi = still hot

Next week:
The idea that Liam would throw Naomi over for Annie is patently ridiculous. I hope it is just a mean trick he is pulling on her or something.

Heroes: And your name again is?

Oh Heroes. I have been wanting to like you all season! I have been hyping you up to friends and family! I have been saying, "Oh don't worry this is the episode where it is going to get good!" I have been saying, "When they team up it will be AWESOME." And now, with only two episodes left in the season, you give me this. Some ridiculous psychological study of Sylar, reiterating things we already knew about the character and moving exactly ZERO plot points forward. (Maybe one? Hiro has a nosebleed?) Ugh. What could even happen in the series finale to make up for this season?

So Sylar is having an identity crisis. Poor you Sylar, poor you. I mean part of me likes the idea of Sylar actually doing something helpful to al la Micah's suggestion, but at this point, can we really turn a (pretty much) unrepentant serial killer into any kind of, well, hero? Also, he is always killing likable people who are nice to him, like Clint Howard, yet he continues to let that scourge upon the earth Danko live. I can't even believe that he lets Danko talk to him like that. If I were Sylar I would have killed that dude SO LONG AGO. If the next episode does not open with Sylar taking that knife out of his head and stabbing Danko in the throat with it, there is nothing that will convince me that this show will ever be good again.

Hiro and Ando are bickering like an old married couple again. Even though I find Ando startlingly hot, he was annoying the crap out of me here. Is he really back to complaining that Hiro doesn't see him as an equal? These two need therapy. And apparently, Hiro needs a doctor, because his nose is bleeding, and on TV, nose bleeds pretty much always mean a character is on death's door.

How does Sylar get the clothes people are wearing when he shapeshifts? Are clothes part of our DNA now?

Nathan, as usual, is making horrible decisions. Why not let your super-powered family help you out instead of flying off alone to either get killed by Sylar or captured by Danko? Also, why not go unarmed to the place that Sylar is most likely to be? Nathan has the worst problem solving skills I have ever seen. It is unbelievable.

Why did Sylar need to pull a gun on Nathan? Just to show he had it? I mean he has about a million offensive powers and Nathan has one defensive one. A gun seems really unnecessary.

Poor Micah. No one should have to witness Sylar's weird becoming-his-mother-and-having-a -conversation-with-her thing. That was creepy to the max. Micah is definitely the best character on this show BY A MILE though.

Hey Matt Parkman, guess you are totally over that Daphne chick who you were so sure was your true love and just DIED, huh? Guess it wasn't really love like you thought it was, because you are running back to Janice pretty quickly my friend. Also, you are one of the dumbest people on this show, and on a show filled with idiots, that is a tall order.

Oh and in case you forgot, Mohinder is on this show. Getting caught by agents while wildly looking at old film strips or something. Cool.

Next week: Nathan loves Peter. Sylar is creepy to Claire. THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN! Maybe. Probably not.

I WAS RIGHT!!!! Chuck

You guys! I was right! Chuck's Dad is Orion! They threw me off by having him fake his death, but I was right!! I can't believe I just found this out last night! Stupid preemption!!!

So I watched kind of a Chuck Movie last night, since I saw Chuck Vs. the Dream Job and Chuck Vs. The First Kill right in a row, and there was lots of action to be had! There was also lots of awesome to be had, including:

Chuck gets his dream job! Even though it wasn't real, it was great to see Chuck realize that he can go somewhere with his life. And it made him want to get that Intersect out even more!

Sarah in glasses. So cute.

Scott Bakula as Chuck's Dad/Orion! I thought he did a great job seeming crazy, likable , genius and tough. The years have been kind Roark!

Chevy Chase playing a world class asshole. Sounds about right to me!

Captain Awesome. Can he please be real? And call me?

I don't want to be this kind of person, but I thought Chuck looked pretty hot all suited up wielding his tranq guns. Also I liked it when he was yelling. So I am that person then.

I loved seeing Chuck use all the skills and information he has gotten from the CIA/NSA for his own ends.

I kind of liked Jill's return/redemption. It was so sad to see them playing engaged with her family!

"I didn't realize the Morgan was so lethal!"

Chuck's awesome arm-up no cheating move on Casey.

This exchange between Casey and Sarah "Miss me?" "Yeah, immensely." Because she meant it!!

I really liked Chuck vs. The First Kill and I LOVED Chuck Vs. the Dream Job. Dream Job touched on a lot of themes that have been running through the entire show, such as Chuck not believing in himself/selling his life short, Chuck not seeing his job with the CIA as something worthy or worthwhile, Chuck's real life and his spy life bleeding together in ways that he can't control, and Chuck's fear that his spy life will eventually obliterate his old life, which the situation with his Dad really brings home. The First Kill was really all about trust and betrayal, from Morgan betraying Big Mike (and getting betrayed by Emmet! Sneaky bastard!) to Sarah refusing to betray Chuck's trust. At the end, I think I captured the essence when I wrote in my notes, Chuck and Sarah on the run = AWESOME.

Next week:
Chuck and Sarah on the run! Chuck and Sarah making out! Casey saying "I would never betray my team!" I think, and you can quote me on this, I think, that this is going to be AWESOME.

Wow, that was really really boring. 90210

So this is it! Donna Martin returns! It was actually pretty boring, so don't get too excited. After two fairly good episodes, 90210 has returned to mediocre-ness that has made it famous. Basically we had a few balls in the air here, Kelly/Silver/Donna, Annie/Dixon, Habitat for Humanity and a little bit of Harry/Debbie (AKA the parents that no one cares about. Are they even trying with these two?) None of the storylines were completely awful, but none were what I'd really call stellar either. (By the way, had anyone noticed that 90210 is sponsored by Dr. Pepper? No?! It's because they are really subtle about it.)

So what was good? Let's see.

Annie/Dixon were pretty cute. The woman who played Dixon's birth mom was really good, and she made me forget how much I hate Annie for an entire scene. I remembered again though when she kept telling Dixon that she was his "Mango". Something about that just creeped me out.

Matthews looked hot in his Habitat for Humanity tee shirt. What?! That was a good part! Also the cast actually built a house for Habitat for Humanity, which is pretty cool, even a cynical gal like me can admit.

Naomi and Liam have some pretty good chemistry together. I would say they are the hottest couple on the show right now. (Cutest = Navid and Adrianna. No contest.)

Diablo Cody wasn't horrible? I guess? She was kind of cute, so I'll put it in the good column.

Ethan and Liam were pretty alright together. Why is Ethan getting so unlame now that I know he is leaving? Why show? Why?

Another way they tried to make me kind of like Annie was by making her love water parks. I too love water parks, and I have to say I would be completely heartbroken if someone told me that we were going to one of the best in the country and really we were going to spy on/briefly speak to his birth mother. I mean , I would do it, but deep down inside it would hurt me. So I related to Annie there, for a minute.

Naomi's CRAZY walk away from Ethan after he told her he thought Liam was a douche. If you have it recorded, watch this scene again. It is worth it.

Things that were not so good:

No Navid and Adrianna!

OH MY GOD Kelly is such a drag. It is as if Silver is being sentenced to death by monotony. Thanks 90210 for reminding me why I used to hate Kelly so so much. Even after all the mushy stuff I feel like Kelly could drive Silver to suicide still. And me as well.

Tabitha the grandmother was mentioned, reminding me how awesome she was, and how mad I am that she is not on the show anymore.

The fact that Donna had to refer to Silver as her half sister-in-law. Is the half really necessary? Just say sister-in-law!

More Donna: She and David are separated, they gave her a baby just to hide it away in a closet for most of the episode, and she is still LAME AS EVER. Donna Martin had some good classic episodes that were built around her, but the actual character is just the lamest person ever. Ever.

The fact that Harry and Deb were even in this episode at all. Not funny, just boring.

The Liam and Ethan story pretty much added up to "Drugs are bad kids!" Bold position to take 90210. Bold.

Donna and David are separated? I know I mentioned this before, but first Kelly has a kid with Dylan and now this?! Is NOTHING from Beverly Hills, 90210 sacred to these people?!

Next week: Naomi hates Annie again! Yay! Me too Naomi!

Heroes- OMG Just band together already! This is killing me!

Okay, so they actually made us watch some more scenes of digging up dead bodies, which you may or may not remember I specifically asked them not to do, but apparently the producers of Heroes don't really care about what I want. (Obviously.) Because if they did, they probably wouldn't have created yet another backstory for our characters. But they did.

I thought this episode was kind of meh. I mean we got a lot of the same character notes as always, Claire wants to be normal but can't, Nathan wants to do right but doesn't know how, HRG is conflicted, Mohinder is dumb, Peter is cute, Angela is guilt-ridden. And there were just so many things that DO NOT ADD UP that it was driving me insane! Such as:

Chandra Suresh- so he spent all this time researching and trying to prove that people could have these abilities, had a daughter with these abilities, AND he used to run an internment camp for people with abilities. Alright sure. That's why he was so excited when he met Sylar, called him Patient 0 and acted like he had never seen anything like it before. That makes sense.

Angela- She has gone from evil to sympathetic more times than well...HRG!! And if she had previously lived in a darn internment camp for people with powers WHY WOULD SHE SUPPORT NATHAN when he wanted to create one. Why not say, "hey, actually they tried this and it did not go well."

Peter-Why do people keep telling him that he needs to forgive them and THEY NEED TO FORGIVE HIM? What has Peter done to anyone? I mean his mother plotted to destroy New York, his brother tried to imprison him and kill him, and he's done what, like, forget a birthday or something? (Future him did shoot Nathan, but I don't think present him can really be held responsible for that! Besides, who among us has not wanted to shoot Nathan at some point?) I would smack these people if I were him. My only consolation is that he really looked like he wanted to.

Mohinder- Just gonna chill with Storm over at Coyote Sands. Forget banding together with other Heroes and HRG, he's just going to feel sorry for himself and beat himself up for cocooning people and all that other screwed up stuff he's done. Okay, good plan dude. Ugh I hate Mohinder.

Alice/Storm- Controlling the weather? Really? I always had a hard time with this power in X-Men too. I mean I get that it is no less related to genetics than being able to stop time or teleport, but I don't know, I just don't like it. Also, Alice in 1961 seemed to be a fairly savvy little girl (though Angela treated her like she was a total moron) so I have a hard time believing she just stayed there and grew up into this weird child-woman. And I love how Angela actually says the words, "I'm never going to see her again." Well thanks for wasting our time with that story then.

The only actually cool thing that happened was Sylar pretending to be Nathan (I love how the entirety of Nathan's plan is "Go to Washington, and um, fix stuff, I guess." Great. I think Angela's blackmail, kill, and erase memories plan is WAY WAY BETTER) There are only two episodes left, we still haven't seen all of our characters in one place, (which was the promise of the entire season) and I am just getting annoyed. These next two episodes better be awesome.

So do I feel embarrassed when the 90210 theme comes blasting from my apartment? Not anymore.

Previously on 90210--Silver is CRAZYPANTS. She got a tattoo with Dixon's name on it, is always trying to force him to have sex in weird places, filmed them having sex, broke into Matthews' apartment and accused him of manipulating her life, and set some crap on fire in Dixon's backyard. (At least she set in a grill. That's something.) So. There you go. She is not okay.

Even though this episode was pretty much all about Dixon and Silver, the CW does not have any pictures of either of them from this episode on their website. Weird. I guess I'll just have to give the top spot to a picture of Annie just about to make one of her signature ugly "acting" faces. Cause I love those faces.

This episode was actually pretty good, am I right? I mean I knew it was going to be when I saw that the director was none other than Brandon Walsh himself, Jason Priestly. Awesome. The teaser before the credits was actually directed in a cool way, with all these crazy cuts and people finding out about Silver's descent into crazytown. It was kind of weird because the rest of the episode felt pretty serious, but the teaser was kind of funny and everyone was all awkward. Choice moments for me:

The mysterious liquid prescription pill bottles in Ryan's medicine cabinet.

Ethan begrudgingly offering Annie a ride and acting like he was the best guy ever.

Everything Naomi said. I am heart-ing that girl!

Three choice moments, and that was just the teaser! Now you know why I am no longer
embarrassed to watch this!

I think the whole Silver is Bi-Polar storyline was handled pretty darn well! I liked Dixon's assy reaction because he has been through this, the parents'/Kelly's melt-downs, even the "guy with big glasses who seems creepy but is actually and incredibly nice dude" thing. Jessica Stroup performed ably again this week, really selling Silver's pain and mania. It was good. I mean I wasn't crying over it or anything, but it was good, and it feels like this is actually a pretty natural progression for this character.

One thing I hated was the entire Jackie Taylor interlude. Jackie was never this abysmal of a person on the original 90210, and it just seemed unnecessary for her to be so awful. Maybe they are trying to say that Jackie is bi-polar as well or something, but it seemed like they were trying to blame Silver's problems on her awfulness, which, if she is bi-polar isn't really true because that is chemical.

There were some other things that were pretty great too, including:

-Ryan Matthews, 23-year old teacher who looks way older than 23, you totally melted my heart tonight. If I were Kelly, I would have jumped you. Also, you were funny more than once, most notably when trying to figure out what "the source" meant. "Hip-Hop awards?" Nice. That is my kind of funny. Awkward jokes during incredibly serious times. Call me!

-Ethan's FABULOUS WTF face when Annie was freaking out about how if they break up it means she is a jerk who gave up her self-respect. (Annie had self-respect at some point?) I honestly don't think he could have cared less. Why does he have to become cool now that he is leaving!?

-Adrianna and Navid! OMG they are so cute. They warm my cold cold heart and make me believe that pregnant teenagers and their boyfriends who are not even the dad of the kid can make a happy and stable family that will rule forever. They were adorable with Sam (that kid is an awful fake crier! But a cutie.) There is just some about those two. I love them.



-Naomi forgiving Annie. Even though I hate her, I am glad that Naomi is going to be friends with Annie, because that will integrate her into all the of storylines more, and now I love her. It took me a little while, but now I realize, Naomi is awesome.

-The fact that you could totally tell that while Dixon was explaining his whole bi-polar birth mom/bi-polar girlfriend thing to her, Annie just wanted to talk about her break-up with Ethan. She held it in though, which is pretty incredible for someone at her level of self-absorption.

So all in all, that's pretty much two good episodes in a row! (The mom is still annoying me.)

Next week: Donna Martin returns! Should be craptastic!

Quote of the night: "Oh that's Sylar." Heroes.

So let's get down to it! Time to talk about last night's Heroes episode, "Turn and Face the Strange". (Not a good episode title by the way.)

Okay, so I had a feeling that while watching this episode, I and everyone I was with was going to be constantly guessing that everyone was Sylar all the time. I was right. I was pretty excited to see a new power being used, but I can already tell this is going to be kind of annoying. I mean I appreciate the symbolism of the whole shapeshifter idea, especially for Danko (AKA Creepy Hunter Guy) and HRG (AKA Noah Bennett), but Sylar being able to be ANYONE he touches = a lot of audience misdirection. Hopefully they won't overuse it.

So this episode was an improvement on last week's to be sure (something actually happened!) but the fact that at least 50% of the characters act like complete morons most of the time is really starting to grate on me. I mean, in last night's episode alone we had:

Matt, deciding (and then being unable to) to shoot some poor lady to freak out Danko, instead of, I don't know, using his power to make Danko believe he shot her! He can put thoughts into peoples heads!! Why doesn't he do that then? Matt Parkman has got to be the most annoying character on the show at this point. And I think we all knew he'd be whining and moaning about Daphne throughout this episode, didn't we?

HRG, believing Danko when he tells him which soldier is Sylar, without any hesitation, right after hearing that Danko and Sylar are working together. Then, he proceeds to believe Danko's word that the soldier-dude is dead, and then just runs away! There must have something else he could have done with information that Danko and Sylar were working together. Maybe follow him and spot them working together? Report it to some higher up? Just KILL DANKO ALREADY? Ugh, his plan was the worst. (Also, before beating up someone you think is disguised as your wife, you should make SURE that it's not actually your wife.)

Danko is working with Sylar. Sylar is going to kill him when he's done with him. Bad plan.

Mohinder, Hiro and Ando are all government fugitives, happily calling each other on cell phones and chatting about the whereabouts of other government fugitives. Alright, sure.

At least Nathan is apparently chastened by the spectacular failure of his own terrible terrible plan and is finally going to reunite with his family to kick some ass. It's about time Petrelli family!! I am ready to see this happen. Heroes, DO NOT spend any more time in the next episode showing us people digging up skeletons! We get it, there are a lot of skeletons at Coyote Sands.

Next week:
Now, we get to see where the damn story begins! Let's hope the continuity fairy is around to make sure it all makes sens

3 Episodes of Dollhouse in 1 night! I know you're impressed.

Okay, in a lot of ways, I think it actually works out beautifully to be talking about these 3 episodes all at once. Because in all of these episodes we got to get to know our two main protagonists, they kind of got to know each other in a weird way, and i think that it was all pretty great!


I really like that we got to know a little more about who Caroline is and how she ended up in the Dollhouse in the first place. Knowing her back story makes it a lot easier to care about her, and knowing her personality makes it more obvious when that is coming through her programming.

And though I kind of thought Patton Oswalt's psychoanalyzing of Ballard was a little annoying, it is nice to see more about his motivations, and have the show explore the idea that he is obsessed with taking down the Dollhouse for some of the wrong reasons. I would feel so bad for Melly if she were not an active there to watch him. But now I just feel so bad for Paul that he is falling in love with an active! Will that change the way he sees the Dollhouse or the people who use it?

Ok, here are some notes I took while watching Episode 6, Man on the Street:

Ballard= Crazy good fighter (he took down all of Patton Oswalt's security guys single handedly! Impressive.)

Patton- pretty likable, once you get past all the psycho babble. Did a better job with the heavyness of the part then I expected to be honest.

Victor- So sad! I am really loving this guy! It was so sad when Echo asked "What did you do? and he replied "No one will tell me!" I really liked this glimpse into how vulnerable the Dolls really are when they are wiped. Sierra's handler raping her and trying to blame Victor was awful, and you really have to agree with him when asks Adele "How did you not think this was going to happen?"

Oh, when I thought that they were going to kill Melly (kind of temporarily forgetting that I thought she was a Doll...or hoping I was wrong because I like her and Ballard together! Oh I also just got that she was supposed to be kind of fat or something. I think she just dresses horribly!), I wrote: "At least she got laid by Ballard before her death." He looked hot in the episode by the way. That was actually another thing that I felt the need to write down. "Ballard in street clothes = cute." I am right.

Ok, the real question of this episode, beyond of course, "Where are the cooks in that Chinese restaurant while they are fighting" is , who is the spy! Topher's assistant? Doctor Saunders? (Fred! From Angel! Love her.) Adele herself? I don't know why I suspect her, but I do.

There's also: Why don't they want Ballard dead?
What in the heck is the Attic?

Episode 7, Echoes, was supposed to be the one, the game-changer, the greatest episode so far, and I think it was pretty damn good actually. No Ballard in this one, but plenty more Caroline. We finally find out how she got to the Dollhouse, and the pain that may have contributed to her "volunteering" (though it doesn't seem like she did, but they keep going with that.) Now that we actually know her, we can actually be invested in saving her! She seems pretty cool actually, if a little overzealous in her love for animals. I thought this was a really good episode, AND it was pretty funny, which is great because that is something I've been wanting and not getting from this show. Adele and Topher were hilarious together, and Lawerence was pretty great, apologizing to Echo for trying to kill her and everything! We also got a classic bit of "guy seems nice but is actually a d-bag" from Whedon, with Sam being behind the entire memory drug outbreak thing on campus. I was disappointed because I was really liking him! Hopefully we will see the actor more if he becomes a Doll.

Some notes that I wrote about this episode are:

"Ooh I love that Rilo Kiley song Portions for Foxes! I also love her weirdly bearded friend!"

I loved Topher's reply to Adele saying "This is unbelievable" "Which part was believable now?"

Sam's dorm room was terrible! Usually TV dorm rooms look nice than real ones. It looked like he lived in an underground bunker!

The outfit Echo/Caroline was wearing as Alice (so many names!) was CRAZAY!! What is with those crocheted thigh high things? Did that dude request those or something?

Victor was great as the NSA guy. I am really loving him.

Though I really loved Episode 7, out of these 3, I think #8, needs, was the best. I really liked knowing what everyone's personality was really like, and seeing them work together to escape definitely brought a "Buffy" feel to the episode. I knew that it couldn't last, but I really wanted it to!

The dream sequence that Ballard had was really good, showing how torn he is between his ideal of Caroline and what he thinks is the reality he was with Melly. And his fear about putting her in danger. I also loved his line in the dream when he is making out with Caroline "I have a thing she needs..." Yeah, I bet you do buddy.

The story of how Sierra came to be at the Dollhouse is the worst one, and it is so awful that her agency and life keep getting taken away from her by different men. Of course knowing that she was kidnapped and forced into this life by one of the Dollhouse's clients casts aspersions on the notion that the Dolls are volunteers. Again, in all of the flashback with Adele, Caroline never seems like she wants to sign those papers. Her entry into the Dollhouse is still miles away from Sierra's though, kidnapped for rejecting the advances of a man who gets everything he wants. I find myself really drawn to a lot of the supporting characters in this show, and in one foul swoop I feel more invested in getting Sierra out of there than Caroline! I also really love her and Victor together. The actor really does well playing tough but also sweet, and they are just so adorable together. The actors really have great chemistry and really sell the idea that they love each other, and that their love survives even the fact that they're brains are being constantly wiped. I like the idea that love is something more than brainwaves.


Other thoughts on this episode:

They weren't wearing shoes for part of their escape! That is my worst nightmare. Just like in Die Hard!

Apparently one of November's inescapable personality traits is wearing hideous clothes. Also inappropriate ones! Everyone else puts on pants and shirts and shoes that would be good to run in, she throws on that awful flower dress and wedges? Is it because of her relative fatness, they force her to dress terribly?

Agent Paul Ballard, your dream girl just called, and she needs your help!

It was heartbreaking for me that the "let them escape" idea came from Doctor Saunders. I know that they are all morally compromised, but I just wanted her to be looking out for the Dolls. I guess she thinks she is...but...I'm with Boyd on this one.

Why does Boyd work at this place? He obviously thinks it is awful and terrible. He's an ex cop. Why not, um, get these people arrested? I need some background on him to understand what the heck he is even doing!

Next week:
It was 2am when I finished watching, I have no idea.

Chuck! Before the next one airs! Good job me! (Do not even ask about Dollhouse. I'm like 3 episodes behind at this point.)

Click on those ads people! That would be awesome for me. Please? Also, if you're getting this update on your email, come to the actual blog to read it!



I want to live in a world where dudes like Captain Awesome and Chuck live. Do I need to move to Burbank California? Because I will do that, no problem.



So basically, Chuck's spy life and his personal life are so intertwined at this point that there really is no difference! Parties are actually missions, co-workers are actually friends. Poor Ellie feels betrayed by Awesome and by Chuck, even though they were both trying to do right by her. It was actually kind of a sad episode to me because of that. Awesome and Ellie always seem like such a solid couple, and you know it kills Chuck that his secret spy life is coming between them. AND Awesome almost discovers the General talking to Chuck through his TV (Wha?! Can the government talk to me through my TV?) TWICE. She is not being that careful if she was almost discovered twice!



Things I loved:



Awesome. I loved his reaction to all the dorky dudes throwing a bachelor party, I loved his reaction to the first strippers, and I loved that he had no interest in Alex (more on her later) when she was trying to seduce him/steal his keycard.



Chuck. Obviously. Trying to so hard to keep Sarah with him, and to keep Awesome and Ellie out of the crazy world he's living in! Also, he was pretty hilarious stoned. As what that other dude. (That was Yinsen from Iron Man right? I just saw him on an old episode of Lost the other day too. He is your go-to actor if your looking for a "smart Arab guy" type apparently. )



Sarah. Way to thwart the rules and save the day! As many of you might know, I hate rules, so I am always all for thwarting them in the interest of love, or fun, or finding long lost dads.



Casey! It made me so happy to see Casey stand up to Alex and tell her she was wrong! He called Sarah the best partner he's ever had! So great.



Things I was a little more eh...about include:



Jeff and Lester are so gross sometimes. This was one of those times.


No Emmet! I need all the Buster Bluth I can get, thank you very much.



The 49B. I mean I kind of like the concept, but I just didn't like the execution of the actual person. I've never seen Battlestar Galactica, so I am not attached to Tricia Helfer in any way. I've seen her on Burn Notice as well, and as far as I can tell, she plays the same character: bitch with absolutely no layers whatsoever. Ready to do what it takes no matter what the cost. I just pretty much wanted her off my screen, which is how Chuck felt too I guess!




I was on board with the ending because even though we got ANOTHER one of those "interrupted right before a kiss" moments with Sarah and Chuck, I am really looking forward to next week's episode. The promo spoiled the guest stars (Chevy Chase, a world class asshole, so I'm told.) and Scott Bakula! Who will be Chuck's dad? Here's a clue, "his only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time..." YES! I can't even wait.

Um, holy crap, that was insane. 90210

Ok, there was actually a lot of awesome going on in this episode, but let's just start with the obvious and most crazy. Sure, throughout the episode I knew that Silver's film was going to be awful, embarrassing and potentially dangerous to her relationship with Dixon, but I did not see the aftermath coming AT ALL. Now that I think about it, she was unusually manic whenever she was talking about her stupid movie, (props for the Lord Byron/Dylan McKay reference!) and I wasn't even too surprised at her burning the movie in Dixon's grill there (though how she had time to get that stuff and build a fire in the backyard I'll never know), but the whole breaking into Matthew's apartment and blaming him for everything totally crazily threw me for a loop! (How does she know where he lives? He is experiencing every teacher's worst nightmare!) Jessica Lowndes really brought it in that scene actually. I mean she probably weighs about 89 pounds, but he was scared of her and I totally understood why! Chick is nuts. Out of her mind even.

So that storyline pretty much rocked, and I actually made a noise of surprise when I realized she had filmed them having sex! I figured it would just be run of the mill sappy and stupid and all about her love for Dixon and he would be embarrassed and annoyed. So well done 90210! That was Emily Valentine style awesome.

Speaking of the old 90210, we finally have a candidate that is slightly more worthy of being the Dylan on the show. Though I can't see him ever becoming best friends with Dixon, Liam is a hottie, dangerous and super smart! I wrote myself a couple of notes about this storyline, and they are as follows "Naomi is so turned on by the fact that Liam sucks at math." (This was when he first walked into class pretending not to know Geometry) and "Liam does not find it hot that Naomi can't do math." So, I like that math was really worked into their storyline. Also, I like that he smashed that guy's car just because he hit on Naomi. Hot. She made a lot of weird faces in just about every scene, but since she is on the same show as Annie, you hardly even notice.

Urgh, and speaking of Ethan and Annie, the only storyline I care less about is the one where the Mom feels like she's given up her photography or some crap (We have seen her working on at least one episode, so she should just shut up. The dad is the principal of the school all the main characters go to and we haven't seen him working in forever.). Anyway, they're breaking up, they are both complete douches, and the only note I made about this storyline was "Apparently Adrianna and Annie like each other now. But I still don't like Annie." She made about a million faces, yelled at Rhonda (Why is she named that?) like a psycho (and then was AWESOMELY smacked down by her) and slutted it up with some dude. Also, Annie actually said "I need to focus on my relationship" in a serious way. Some of things she did are things I can imagine Brenda doing, but she would have done them in a cool way and not made INSANE faces the entire time.

Rumor has that Dustin Milligan (Ethan) is on his way out, and that the dude who plays Liam is going to get a regular role. I gotta say I agree with both of those moves, as Ethan seems intellectually disabled and Liam is hot. Maybe Ethan can take Annie with him wherever he goes...

Next week:
Silver is CRAZAYYY! For realz yo. This is turning all serious.

Ok, so I guess if God is on their side, they're not completely outmatched--Heroes.

I liked this week's Heroes, it was kind of a character piece, which this show desperately needed. Even if the motivations revealed don't exactly match past actions, at least we have some kind of idea of where these characters are moving forwards. So, let's list it out! (Yes, I'm doing a liked/disliked list. It wasn't that good.)

Here's what I liked:

Angela and Peter. I thought that their scenes read pretty true to the characters and their pasts, and like Angela admitting that she's made huge mistakes and paid untold prices trying to save the world. She was warning Peter as well as asking him for forgiveness and understanding. The whole "Peter's pissed at God thing" seems kind of hokey on the surface, but honestly, if I were Peter, I'd be pretty pissed at God myself. Crazy powers + crazy family? = things not going very well for Peter.

Nathan and Claire were cute together. Also, Nathan looked so damn good in that three-piece suit that these two could have done pretty much anything and I would have been okay with it. Though I really wish when Nathan was describing how he reacted to Claire's conception it would have gone more like this: "I did what I always do. What I'm doing now. I created an elaborate, nonsensical plan with no clear idea of where I wanted it to go..." Because that is what Nathan always does. He's probably doing it right now to try to fix the damage his last elaborate nonsensical plan has inflicted.

Sylar messing with Danko and getting under his skin, even after Danko was so sure he wouldn't let him.

New power= Shapeshifting! I love to see a new power! I'm kind of glad that this power is painful and hard, otherwise it would make things too easy for Sylar.

Claire has great chemistry with both her Dad's!

They fixed Claire's hair! (Sort of.)

No Parkman glowering over Daphne! Hooray!

The Petrelli's are getting back together! YES!

Um, sort of mentioned before, but Sylar, Peter and Nathan were all looking pretty hot.



Ok, things that could have been better:

It was a pretty slow episode, not bad, but I kept thinking, "Oh this has to be over in a minute, right?"

Nathan! What is your plan? Make an actual non-stupid plan before you go back to DC!!

I guess now we are finding out that Danko isn't really as good at rounding up people with abilities as we thought he was and he needs Sylar's help? Because that kind of contradicts everything we have seen about him so far.

I really want Sylar to kill Danko, but now it seems like they are in some kind of weird love! Danko likes to feed Sylar powered brains and watch him kill people. Come to think of it, they may be a perfect match for each other.

Now that I think about it, the shapeshifting means lots "I bet that's Sylar....Ooh, that must be Sylar...Sylar is probably that guy now..." coming up in the near future.

Still hate the whole HRG is working for Danko but not really thing. He's not even making any headway stopping any of this, or at least we're not seeing it. He did let Angela and Peter go though, to remind us, once again, that he is a morally gray character. Remember?

No Parkman this week= yes Parkman next week.

I want Peter to get his power back. It bums me out every time I realize that his only power right now is flying.

Urgh, I just still hate that Danko! Something awful better happen to this guy at some point.


Next week:
Angela is taking us back to where "our story begins". Okay, I'm ready.
