Is there an excuse for how Izzie has acted?
This week’s episode of Grey’s saw the return of both Meredith and Izzie. Not that Meredith actually went anywhere, but her return to work. Where the show’s namesake had her quasi-absence explained away by a medical procedure, Izzie just kind of disappeared. I don’t care how you, me, or Izzie tries to spin things … her leaving her friends and her husband with no contact was just a plain crappy thing to do.
Bones – Gordon Gordon Wyatt opens Booth’s eyes
Sure, I’m going to get to the main point of my post here in a second (after the jump, lest I be slammed by the spoilerphobes out there), so I’ll spend some time stalling and talking about something else. I got all kinds of excited when I found the Simpsons Easter Egg, thinking I was all especially observant. Then, Keith informed me it was part of a contest that FOX was running, the Simpsons Scavenger Hunt. Talk about blowing the wind out of a guy’s sails.
Glee – Wheels – Live-Blog/Chat
It’s about time for the darn World Series to be over! Didn’t they know that they were screwing up our Glee watching schedule? Sure, you could be like Deb, and let the music carry you over, or you could have enjoyed the cast singing the National Anthem at the start of Game 3. Or you could have been more like me, and just waited very impatiently for the show’s return. “Wheels” will be an episode with some surprising revelations, and a chance to get to know some of the characters — specifically Artie — that we haven’t spent a lot of time with yet.
Be sure to come back to join me, Julia, other CliqueClackers and our friends as we chat live during the Eastern/Central airing of the show Wednesday night.
NCIS – Season 6 DVD review
The sixth season of NCIS brought a lot of changes to the squad room. The death of Jenny Sheppard brought forth a new director, who didn’t start out on a popular foot by breaking the team up in the last seconds of season five. It didn’t take long for everyone to find their way home though, and we spent quite a bit of time exploring some of the character’s back-stories that we hadn’t necessarily been privy to. I’ve had the DVD set sitting on my shelf to review for quite some time now, and being the Special Feature nut that I am, these are the things that I learned. Read the rest of this entry »
Would you want Cal Lightman as a friend?
It can’t be easy knowing a guy like Cal Lightman. Having a human lie detector could really cramp a guy’s style, let alone a teenage daughter, an ex-wife, colleagues, or more importantly murderers, thieves, or all-around bad dudes. Lightman doesn’t have many friends, as we found out last week. I imagine that, like his ex-wife, there is a very long list of people who have realized that he wasn’t worth the trouble.
HRG and Claire are still the core of Heroes
My favorite episode of Heroes is the season one classic, “Company Man.” At that point, we’ve still got no idea who Noah Bennet was. Hell, we didn’t even know his first name. All we knew was that he had a daughter (whole family, really) and a job that were incredibly hard to reconcile on any given day. What we did know is that HRG would walk through fire for his daughter, and what we learned is that she would walk through fire for him, too. They proved early on that their relationship was central to how this show would evolve over the years, and this week’s episode proved that that is still the case.
Jor-El on Earth? I call shenanigans!
In its eight and a half odd seasons, Smallville has brought many faces from the comics to television, and its worked very well. From Perry White to Bart Allen, Bizzaro to Brianiac, characters good and evil have come to help or hinder Clark Kent in his quest to protect humanity. But one ongoing story line involves Kryptonians visiting Earth in the past, which has now lead to the arrival of Jor-El on Earth. I think his appearance detracts from the mythos of the show, instead of helping them.
