Most Adorable Award Goes to...

So this blogger has work to do so I'm gonna try and express the awesomeness that is CHUCK, in as little words as possible.

First off the most adorable character on TV is Chuck Bartowski! If Jim H. wasn't my TV boyfriend already I'd definitely spend some time with Chuck.


Besides getting to see Zach Levi's mug--I'm super excited for an actual full season of Chuck. Last year due to the writer strike this show didn't get the proper attention and time to develop as it should of, yet it still capture my interests.
For those of you who are missing out here is a quick summation of what the series is about.
Chuck is a normal guy working at the "Nerd Herd" with ambitious goals and little motivation for executing those goals. So, on his 30th birthday he receives a weird email from his friend, now a CIA agent, that downloads a ton of government information into his brain. And he becomes priceless to our country's security. But as I mentioned he works at the nerd herd and has no spy training at all--enter Casey and Sarah.

Chuck + Spies + Crazy Adventures = One Wicked Ride

I'm super psyched for the premiere and the hi-jinks that may occur at the "Buy More"--Along with the great 'ship that is Sarah and Chuck. Make sure to catch if from 8-9 on NBC!

Music is my....

So, I just found out that Ingrid Michaelson is coming to Ann Arbor, our headquaters, oops I may have said to much....



I love her music and this is a momentous occasion for all to enjoy. Hoping to get tix soon and you should too, before you loose your chance to hear this amazing gal.

The Office 5.01 "Weight Loss"

I think we have a new moment for my Top Ten Jim/Pam Moments list:

Words cannot describe how happy this scene makes me.  Perfection!

I actually loved the rest of the episode too.  Not only was it hilarious (I think my favorite was all of Kelly's dieting woes), but there were some really great character moments for all the characters.  I really like Michael and Holly together so I was so...sad when Michael blew it in the end. Oh, Michael.  And geez do I feel bad for Andy.  And I'm not even saying this as a hardcore Andy fan (which I am), but he was just being so sweet to Angela, and when is he going to clue into the fact that Angela doesn't really want to be married to him?  Poor guy.  Also, poor Toby, hee!  This episode was everything I come to expect from this show.  Unfortunately, the EPIC ENGAGEMENT OF EPICNESS kind of overshadowed everything else that happened, heh.

(I hope this entry was a little more coherent than last night's, heh)

EPIC!!!!

OMG!

OMG! OMG! OMG! That was so amazing and I can't believe that just happened. I can't even digest it! OMG!!!!

The Office Premiers Tonight!

It's finally here!  And in honor of this momentous occasion, I give you my Top 10 Jim/Pam Moments, because they are the greatest couple in the history of couples:

10. "You got to take a chance on something sometime, Pam"

9."Yep, I'm very passionate about Italian food.  In fact, I'm in love with Italian food." 

8. The kiss from "The Dundies"

7. "There were a lot of reasons to call off my wedding.  But the truth is, I didn't care about any of those reasons until I met you" 

6.  27 seconds of silence from "Booze Cruise"

5. "Got it a week after we started dating" 

4.  "Then...it's a date" 

3."I gave him a ride home because...we're dating" 

2. The kiss from "Casino Night"

1.  "I'm in love with you" 

Annoyed

What the fuck is it going to take to get Kenley off my show?

And I'm not even saying that because I like Suede or anything. I actually don't think Suede could have made it to the top three (and he can be really really annoying at times).  But for the love of god, does Kenley need to go!  If only for her attitude alone.  If she doesn't get eliminated next episode I'm going to be pissed.  I think the trio of Jerell, Korto, and Leanne is a completely deserving group to be going to fashion week (I'm rooting for Jerell!), and if whiny-bitch Kenley gets it over them?  Yeah, no.  That will not be good for my health.  You do not diss Tim Gunn and get away with it!

So, how did everyone else feel about this episode? :)

Wow, that is really hard...

Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling...

Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure

Because The Office premiers in two days, I wanted to have an Office celebration every day this week.  Unfortunately, because of all the Heroes craziness yesterday, we're going to have to make due with starting today!

My first post about The Office was going to be about why exactly I love it so much.  Because I really do love this show.  I have every season on DVD, and I've seen every episode at least 3 times, with my favorite episodes seen closer to 10 times.  Still, it's hard to put into words.  I think though, it's a grand combination of many things.  Starting, for me, with Steve Carell, who I think is an absolute genius.  He never fails to crack me up, and I think everything he's in he makes infinitely funnier (I pretty much loved Get Smart because of him).  At the same time, he's just a great actor overall.  He does such a good job at showing Michael's stupidity, but also his vulnerability and his sadness (have you seen Dan In Real Life?  He's amazing in that movie).  Of course, I think all the actors are brilliant on this show.  I don't think there's one weak link in the whole cast.  They each bring something new and unique to their characters and the show.

The other big reason is Jim/Pam, but more specifically, the writers' ability to weave in "dramatic" story lines, such as Jim and Pam's relationship, with the comedic ones.  I think that's why I like this show more than 30 Rock.  Because while 30 Rock is hilarious and I love it, it doesn't really have that emotional connection with me like The Office does.  I do care about the characters in 30 Rock, but only in a superficial way (like, 'No! You can't fire Kenneth! He's my favorite character!  Where will I get my joy from!?').  While in The Office, I really genuinely care about the characters and their predicaments.  In fact, it wasn't until I started caring that I really got into the show.  I had watched the first season when it was on, but was only able to sporadically watch the second season when it aired, which at the time, was fine with me.  I only considered it a funny show that was fun to watch every once in a while.  Then I watched the episode "Booze Cruise".  The moment when Jim and Pam stare longingly at each other for 27 painful seconds was when I knew.  I felt so connected to Jim in that moment and wanted desperately for him to just tell Pam!  Tell her how he feels!  It was frustrating and heartbreaking and emotional and it was that moment right there when I officially became invested in the show.  As it's gone on, the Jim/Pam relationship has been handled absolutely perfectly, and they have very quickly become one of my favorite fictional couples in any medium.  It's the show's ability to sustain these dramatic story lines, such as Jim and Pam's relationship or Michael's loneliness or even kind of silly things like Ryan's drug use or Kevin's debt or Dwight's breakup with Angela, that make it so great.  I look forward to season 5 so much because I genuinely want to know what happened to these characters.  How did not becoming engaged and moving to New York affect Pam's relationship with Jim? How has the relationship between Michael and Holly developed, and is Michael going to get back together with a pregnant Jan?  Will Angela really uphold her engagement to Andy when it's clear her and Dwight are meant to be?  So many things to be answered...and so many things to look forward to!

And on that note, enjoy this extremely creative and awesome and amazing video featuring The Dark Knight trailer mashed up with clips from The Office:

Scooped by my own Teammate Eh?

It's finally the 22nd of September. A day long awaited by all sane viewers, cause Heroes starts in 2:31:16 and counting.
I look forward to seeing all my favorites returning and hope for great improvement all around for this season. And maybe this time I'll be able to respect Elle more, now that I've discovered the brilliance that is Kristin Bell! And the possibility of whether she takes that good feeling of helping others and sticks to the hero path or whether she'll deviate...
Also super excited for the possible reunion that could occur between her and Francis Capra

We don't like our news to bias, so why wouldn't we want see the other side of the story, because we all know that the world is lited with pretty pink and purple lights of harmony. Besides this girl loves a epic battle between the powers of good and evil!
I'm excited to see how Sylar interacts with all the other villains, and whether he'll learn to play nice with others or if he'll become the ultimate villain, maybe even better than his emo counterpart Peter.
Finally I'm super excited to see where those cahones Claire had at the end of the season got her.
This blogger is psyched about the drama that will ensue, along with the creepiness that only Zach Quinto can bring to the screen.

But in the end its all cool cause we're all just fans, I still heart ya MindGrapes

Heroes Premiers Tonight!

BRING ON THE VILLAINS!!!

Best Emmy Moments of the Night (or at least one of them)

And the best Emmy moment of night (or at least one of them) goes to.....Mr. Warmth, Don Rickles!! I'm so glad he went off teleprompter when he was presenting with Kathy Griffin. Honestly, some of the dialogue that passed for funny bits was making me cringe a little. 

Other best Emmy moments (in no particular order; also, this is, by no means, a complete list):

1. Ricky Gervais making Steve Carrell give him his Emmy using various techniques (i.e. tickling and a stare-off). 

2. Of course, Colbert and Stewart didn't disappoint. I especially loved their clever "prunes"bit,  which, of course, did not, I repeat, did not include Colbert voicing his support for John McCain. 

Stewart: "Isn't 8 years of prunes enough?" 

Colbert: "You can never get enough!" 

3. Alec Baldwin winning for best lead actor in a comedy series, Tina Fey winning for writing and best Lead Actress, and 30 Rock winning for Best Comedy Series!!! Emmy, where your feet at!!! 

So...what were your favorite moments? 

The Emmy (Non-)Prediction Post

Normally when I watch the Emmys I just feel mad afterwards.  Very rarely does what I want to win, win (even if they're not the most deserving, I don't care DAMMIT!).  This year, I'm mad before they air.  Why?  Because the fact that Battlestar Galactica wasn't nominated for Outstanding Drama Series totally invalidates the Emmys as a whole, heh.  Even so, I will be watching.  Not with any kind of expectations, but I'll still at least try to enjoy them.

Here are the nominations

Here is a list of categories that I care about (so, like, half of them), with a discussion about who I WANT to win.  Not who I think is going to win...or even who deserves to win (DAMMIT!):

Outstanding Comedy Series-  Two and a Half Men?  Really?  Over Flight of the Conchords?  Or Pushing Daisies?  WRONG!  Yeah, I'm rooting for The Office.  30 Rock is totally going to win, but I thought the first season was better than the second.  If The Office doesn't win, however, it'll be ok, because they've already won for their best season.

Outstanding Drama Series-  I know Mad Men is going to win this.  Heck, I know Mad Men is probably going to win everything it's nominated for, but I am so rooting for Lost.  Lost hasn't been this good since season 1, the last time they won an Emmy for best drama.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series-  The fact that Steve Carell has never won an Emmy is just wrong.  I will root for him until he wins.  But this is actually a category with a lot of good nominees.  If Lee Pace or Alec Baldwin were to win, that would be pretty awesome as well.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series-  Much like Steve Carell, as long as Hugh Laurie gets nominated, I will root for him.  As House, he is one of the best actors I have ever seen, and he's never won an Emmy.  That shit is wrong, yo.

Outstanding Miniseries-  I point out this category only because I had to mention that I am rooting for the John Adams miniseries every time it gets nominated.  This is strange because of the fact that I never watch miniseries, but this one totally sucked me in.  The love/hate relationship of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson was just so...epic.

Outstanding Host for a Reality-Competition Program- Um...I don't know why I care about this as much as I do, but I really want Jeff Probst to win this award.  I stopped watching Survivor three seasons ago, but watching it for so long before that made me really appreciate Probst.  He's such a huge part of the show and how and why it works.

Outstanding Reality-Competition Program-  I don't really understand why The Amazing Race always wins this.  Don't get me wrong, I like TAR.  I watched 3 seasons of it back in the day, but it has not been as good as it used to be, hence the reason I stopped watching.  I think it's time for Project Runway to get a chance.  Although, where is the So You Think You Can Dance nom?

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series-  Rainn Wilson!  Dwight is one of the greatest characters ever created for television!  Although, what the hell is up with the Chi McBride as Emerson Cod snub?  As much as I love Dwight, Emerson may have been the funniest character on TV this season.  I'm also holding out for the day that John Krasinski gets nominated.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series-  Michael Emerson should have won this award two seasons ago, but he will have to make due with winning it now.  He is one of the creepiest, most interesting villains on any show I watch (I still wish Henry Ian Cusick had been nominated though).

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series-  I desperately want to see Flight of the Conchords win this award just so I can see Jemaine and Bret accepting it (I miss them)!  Still, there are a lot of great nominations in this category.  I would be happy for 30 Rock to win (although it has to be for "Rosemary's Baby" if they do) or The Office or Pushing Daisies.

Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series-  OMG, what?  The Emmys actually decided to nominate Battlestar for something?  "Six of One" was a great episode this season, and I'm happy it got nominated, but it wasn't even my favorite.  I'm still rooting for it, but it's a little bittersweet, because it reminds me of all the snubs BSG got in every other category. /bitter

Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music, or Comedy Program-  It's pretty much a rule of thumb for me that whenever a category for the Variety, Musical, or Comedy Programs come up, I will be rooting for Conan O'Brien or Stephen Colbert, the two funniest guys on TV. 

Epic Olympics Post Is Epic

(I've come to the realization that the fact that I'm actually going through with posting this post is extremely self-indulgent.  But I've been working on it for so long that I couldn't not post it!  So, enjoy reading it, even if you can't remember half the stuff I'm talking about, heh).

So, the Olympics have been over for like, a month.   But I didn't have a blog a month ago!  I need to share my Olympic experiences with all of you!  Why?  Because I love the Olympics.  Not just normal love, obsessive love.  No other time do all of the people within a country get to come together to root for a common cause.  I get to watch sports I don't normally get to watch, I get to fall in love with the athletes, and I get to spend hours and hours on my couch trying to watch every single event because I don't want to miss anything.  What's not to love?  I wish the Olympics were on every year!   

PART ONE:

The first part of my Epic Olympics Post is going to be about my top 10 favorite Olympic moments.  There were a ton of moments I loved during this Olympics.  In fact, for me, this Olympics was probably one of the most memorable I've ever experienced.  This is why this top 10 list has no real order of favoritism.  It's just a list of awesomeness that was present at these Beijing games.

1.  The Men’s 4x100 Free Relay.  In the last turn of this race, the announcers actually said that the US would have to try and hold on for the silver because they were behind, and it seemed impossible for them to catch up.  But then, out of nowhere, Jason Lezak actually catches the french swimmer by swimming the fastest relay split ever, and won the gold.  This was quite possibly one of the greatest races I’ve ever seen before in my entire life. The sheer determination of Lezak and the other members of that relay team was...inspiring to say the least.  Because of this and the 4x100 Medley, Phelps totally owes Lezak for helping him get 8 medals, heh.

2.  The Men’s 200 Fly.  The other greatest race I’ve ever seen before in my entire life.  Phelps won by 1/100th of a second, the closest anyone can win a swimming race. I really thought he had lost, but by some crazy act of God or something, he out touched the other swimmer by doing one final half-stroke.  I’ve looked at the replays and seen the pictures, and I’m still not sure I can believe it.

3.  Nastia Liukin Winning the Gymnastics All Around.  Nastia has been my favorite ever since the team finals started, and she just absolutely rocked the all around.  She’s an amazing amazing gymnast who I just love to watch, and I think she also has a really great story.  You go, Nasty!  Not only that though, the all around competition as a whole was pretty darn amazing as well.  It was very close all throughout, and there were some pretty iffy judging calls. But to add to the total drama of the competition, the medal positions came down to the floor routine with the three girls in the running for medals, Yang Yilin, Nastia, and Shawn Johnson, all going last one after each other, each having to hit their routines to secure their medals. That? Was epic.

4. US Men’s Gymnastics Team Winning the Team Bronze.  Unlike the women’s team, who when they got the silver, it felt more like they lost the gold, the men’s team truly won that bronze.  No one thought they could do it with all the setbacks they had faced getting there, but  they ended up turning out just an amazing performance.  I’ll never forget seeing Justin Spring and Jonathan Horton sticking their bar routine landings perfectly, or Sasha Artemev, with the bronze medal resting on his shoulders, performing the greatest pommel horse routine I’ve ever seen in my life to clinch it.  These guys really had an awesome story that I won’t forget. 

5.  USA Men’s Volleyball Team Winning Gold.  I was rooting for this team so hard--more than the basketball team or the softball team or any other US team-- because of the tragedy that had befallen it at the beginning of the games when the coach’s father in law was murdered in Beijing.  These guys came together, faced adversity, and won it for their coach, and I will never forget seeing the tears stream down his face when they won.

6. Ryan Lochte Winning His First Individual Gold Medal in the 200 Back.  But really, just discovering Ryan Lochte in general.  I had so much fun this Olympics watching him compete, and learning about him and what a kind of weird, but totally cool guy he is.  He is by far my favorite swimmer now, and it sure doesn’t hurt that he’s really nice to look at. 

visual evidence

7. The Women's 4x400 Track and Field Relay.  You could just tell that these women really really wanted to redeem themselves on the track.  They had all had disappointments in their previous races, and so watching Sonya Richards pass the Russian runner in the last leg, you could just see the determination on her face.  Probably the most exciting track race of the competition.

8.  Matthew Mitcham Winning Gold in Men’s Platform Diving.  I fell in love with Matthew during the semifinals because he was just so cute and adorable, and I was rooting for him throughout the competition.  But seeing him win the gold medal was just amazing because it was such a huge upset!  He defeated a Chinese diver, which they said wasn’t possible, and he did it all by being adorable and gay (and getting the highest score for a dive EVER).  I can’t even tell you how happy I am for this guy. ♥

9.  Jonathan Horton Winning Silver on the High Bar.  I’m just going to say it, I love Jonathan Horton.  He’s just a cute, excitable hobbit who happens to be an amazing gymnast.  Throughout these games, I’ve really wanted the best for him, and he went out there during the event finals and absolutely killed it!  His bar routine was so amazing the audience even booed when he only got second place.  He really showed the world what he could do, and I really hope he goes to London so I can root for him some more!

10.  Usain Bolt.  Just in general.  This guy is amazing!  And the truth is, I just love to watch him.  I love his showboating and his excitement.  I find it really really endearing actually.  I’ll always remember this guy, and what he did this Olympics and hopefully many more to come.

PART TWO:

Part two of my Epic Olympics Post was going to be a detailed description of me and my cousin's epic story about Nastia Liukin, Secret Agent, and all of her exploits with her partner, Shawn Johnson, fighting off the underage Chinese gymnast-ninjas (led by Yang Wei) from ruling the world.  At one point, CIA director Bela Karolyi needs Nastia to go to Russia for an Op.  It is here she meets Russian spy and pommel horse expert, Alexander 'Sasha' Artemev, whom she falls in love with.  This gets a little awkward later on, when Nastia and her crime fighting-gymnast friends team up with the Swimming Special Forces led by Michael Phelps, who has some history with Nastia, causing Sasha to become jealous, and of course, hilarious love-triangle hijinks ensue.  And then in the end, it turns out that Shawn Johnson really was working for the Chinese all along, and she betrayed Nastia, and they have an epic gymnastics battle to determine who will survive.  But...I figure no one wants to hear about that so we're just going to skip over to Part 3.

PART THREE:

Epic Olympics-themed videos!

Epic Olympics montage that makes me cry every time I watch it.  Inspiration!

Epic "The World According to Lochte" video.  Including Ryan's Epic drawings of Epicness!

Epic Morgan Freeman-narrated Olympic commercial.  I could have picked any of the Morgan Freeman commercials to post here, but I picked this one because it makes me SOB!

until 2010 in Vancouver!

Supernatural 4.01 "Lazarus Rising"

I  really just wanted to fill up this post by typing "OMG!" over and over and over again, but this blog is too classy for that.  So instead I'll actually try and coherently write out my thoughts.

If you couldn't tell, I pretty much loved this episode.  I thought it was fantastic!  Starting with the extremely creepy scene of Dean escaping from his grave, and going all the way to the ending with Castiel the ANGEL!  I never thought this show would actually go there with the angel talk.  So much of this show is filled with references to the other side: the demons, and the monsters, and all matter of evil things.  Only ever seeing the bad side, and not knowing if the good was out there on this show, was getting kind of depressing.  Because of that, I find it so refreshing that we're actually seeing the good side.    I'm extremely intrigued with the mythology they've created for the angels.  And of course, leave it to Supernatural to actually make the angels SCARY.  I find it fascinating that Castiel is SO powerful that normal mortals can't look upon his true form (or their eyes will burn out, ew).  And just why does God want Dean anyways?  What is this work they need him for?  This really, really did a good job of setting up this season.

Even with all the awesome angel stuff however, my favorite part was Sam using his powers.  I have been waiting since the show first hinted that Sam might be powerful in some way, all the way back in season 1, for him to actively bust out the powers.  And it's extremely satisfying that it finally paid off!  And that Ruby's helping him too!  Oh Sam, just what happened to you during those four months?

Other thoughts:

Sam and Dean's reunion hug was amazing!  Not gonna lie, I got a little emotional.

Also, OMG THE AMULET!  I cried at that part too.

I miss Katie Cassidy as Ruby.  I don't like this new actress as much (although I loved the twist that she really was Ruby all along).

Going along with that, are we supposed to believe that Sam and Ruby are doing it, or was that just an act?  Because if they are, that's pretty messed up, heh.

Castiel is hot (and he was totally on 24 too)!

I love Bobby.

Apparently, being in Hell does a body good. :)

Seelix from Battlestar Galactica played the demon in the diner!  That was exciting for me.

Greatest line of the episode:  "So...are you guys, like...together?"   ;)

Odyssey: Gotta Love the Sun

Clark can always find people to sacrifice something great for him to succeed. In this past hour alone both Chloe and the Martian Man were willing to give it all away.

In ominous news Clark made the promise to let go of the things in this world that kept him from his destiny all along, meaning Lana and even his mother. There maybe hope for this season yet. Along with the unveiling of Lex's office by the newcomer in the villain department, Tess Mercer (Cassidy Freeman)--who seems to have an affinity to Lex.

Hopes do come true (this coming from a pessimistic blogger)!!! If Smallville knows how to execute one thing perfectly creating astounding premieres.
Only disappointment no topless Tom but at least he was wet! And Aquaman was a sure fine stand in :)
So I have to say I was so surprised by the reunion scene between Jimmy and Chloe once she escaped! For a second I thought Jimmy was Bizarro, only because he was super angsty and trying to take back his proposal. But then once I realized the deep seated fear he was experiencing as a result of his "jumping the gun" but once he got calmed down he could see the true feelings him and Chloe share!

And the geek that I am I have to mention this, something that I love enough to let it go--whenever the characters make a reference to a classic Superman legend the powers that be see fit to play a remastered version of the Superman theme song. I, Good Grief, give this the "hokey" stamp.


Something I didn't hope for but that pleased me is the change in Lois' hair color, so much better! I have to say this it seems that the Daily Planet will hire anyone...

It's CW day on Ashitaka's Angels! Part 2: Smallville

8 hopes for Season 8 of Smallville

1) The chance to see Tom Welling topless and possibly wet, yummy :P
And another element that makes the show what it is the graphicy intro with the infamous theme song

2)The return of Oliver Queen and the development of his character along with his interactions with Clark.

3)A possible connection between Lois and Clark. Something viewers have been waiting for, for 3 long years. Another Superman tradition, Clark suiting up for reporter duty :)
But with the good comes the bad, the confirmed rumor of Lana in the tenth episode.

4)Downplay of Kara's importance in the season, cause I am so sick of her!

5)My true hope is for the actors to find that spark that made the show so great when it first premiered in 2001. Although how can you blame them, the creators of the show didn't give them much to work with. They somehow find a way to change them enough to spark an interest in their viewers but never keep it going because of all the stuff they seem to play out between Clark and Lana.

6)One thing I'll truly miss is Lex, because he was so good at being the bad guy although it did become highly annoying that somehow they always found a way to blame him...but hopefully we'll see him now and then, maybe even more...

7) The adorable sweet Jimmy Olsen and Chloe Sullivan's relationship. They are two people worth watching on the show, and the only ones who haven't pissed me off enough yet. And on the topic of Chloe the revelation of her crazy wicked weird mysterious powers.

8) And the consequences of the destruction of the Fortress of Solitude

It's CW day on Ashitaka's Angels! Part 1: Supernatural

danger...

Like my House post, I was planning on doing a "what I hope to see on this season" post for all of my shows when they premiere.  But I don't really know if I can do that for Supernatural.  Even though I like Supernatural more than House, I was able to do one for House because I have....opinions about that show.  For Supernatural, I don't really care what plot twists they throw out there, because it's come to be a show that I just straight up enjoy.  When it's on, I just...go with the flow.  I don't have any real complaints or problems with this show, I just love it.  It's a good, solid, scary, fun show that really doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

So, what do I hope to see on this season of Supernatural?  More of the same.  More of Sam and Dean and their brotherly bond.  More of the uber-creepy monsters of the week.  More of the Impala, and rock salt, and latin, and classic rock, and ghosts, and demons, etc.  

But most of all, I just want my show back! TONIGHT AT 9 ON THE CW, BITCHES!

I was Happy for the First Minute

One Tree Hill, the best guilty pleasure on TV premiered 3 weeks ago, finally answering the question that was on every viewer's mind this summer. Who is Lucas going to pick?!?! So, as a major fan of Brooke and Lucas I really hoped they would be able to make it work out, but it was an impossibly hope filled dream. As a reasonable person I can see why they landed on the obvious and best chose for Lucas. So in the end he called Peyton, the only girl who cheats with when not in a relationship. He chose her his senior year, why not chose her again. Shocker! So maybe he can stop being a dushbag and start being the Lucas I fell in love with at the start 6 years ago :)

A girl can dream...

Ok, here you go "Leyton" fans

Bi-Weekly Opinion (I know I'm a week behind--I'll catch up)

"Touch Me I'm going to Scream"

I have to say that this epi reminded me of the random adventures from the high school year with the impulsive trip to Vegas and the colorfulness of their almost wedding. Another returning favorite is Jaime and his precocious nature. He's such a cutie!
Major surprises was the revealing of who hit Dan! The creators of this show are so twisted cause it could have been a stranger, but NO! they found a way to bring back Nanny Carey along with all the crazy.
Something else I find random....the weird May-December between Skillz and Deb, whom both have totally different relationships with Nathan. I mean, come on! As a reformed Mom, Deb is definitely crossing a major line here, and besides all that its just plain weird.

"One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning"

Major surprise for the season the horrible beating that Brooke received at the end of the last episode. The visual that the creators display is more powerful than you can imagine. Especially since it is out of character for B. Davis to look like that. Finally if I can be mad at Brooke for anything it would be the fact that she is attempting to deal with this on her own and that she didn't report the incident to the police. I can see this with my magical TV eyes, that its going to come back to bite her. Foreshadowing anyone?
Also for the sake of her b***** mother--I really hope she didn't hire someone to commit this to her own daughter.
My final comment would be the untimely and unnecessary death of Q. I'm sure that viewers were just as shocked as I was and felt that it was just wrong. In terms of his death I felt that the creators used it to pull on our heart strings with revealing more back story as his dreams, hopes and family he has a little brother. And the fact that he died the way he did was so unfair and unjust. But I guess that's point, isn't it? The world is unfair and doesn't care what your dreams may be and can wipe it out at any moment that it desires.

OMG IT'S RENESMEE!

I had to mention this for Zozizzle and Good Grief:

On tonight's Fringe, the episode started out with a woman who all of a sudden got pregnant with a baby that GREW UNNATURALLY FAST, and thus KILLED THE MOTHER FROM THE INSIDE, which then had to be CUT OUT OF THE WOMAN'S STOMACH!

So apparently, in the world of Fringe, half human/half vampire mutant demon babies do exist!

Be afraid.  Be very afraid... (Whatever you do, don't imprint on it Good Grief!)

In more 'on topic' news, I thought this episode was really really good, better than the Pilot.    Although, if the show is going to keep up it's extreme gross out factor, I don't know how much more I can take, because 'ew'.  Even so, I think I may have liked it better than House!  Especially with House's depressing ending, which went a little like this:

Wilson (to House):  "We're not friends anymore..."

Me:  "We're lovers!"

Wilson:  "...and I'm not sure we ever were."

Me: :(

Don't fight, you guys!  It makes me sad, remember?
