Heroes - Company Man

Best episode yet. Got some juicy backstory on HRG, aka Mr. Bennet. Didn’t follow all the rest of the characters, just Matt, Ted, HRG, Claire and family, but that doesn’t mean that some other connections weren’t made. Stop reading here, unless you’ve seen last night’s episode.

Wednesday Night Wrap Up - FNL, Jericho and Lost - Oh My!

Post Idolness ensues.  DVR only recorded Friday Night Lights, so I had to watch Jericho and Lost via other means, thank goodness for Verizon FiOS and TVTorrents.com
Lets review from best to worst:
Friday Night Lights - I Think We Should Have Sex
Great episode.  The main plot point being QB Matt Saracen being seduced by Coach’s daughter [...]

Idol Blogging - da Grrlz

Just a little shout out for Simon: I wish people would let him finish. I think he really is trying to help the contestants with constructive comments, or to help them understand how their perceived by the audience. But predictably, he gets about 10 words out of his mouth before Randy or Paula [...]

Idol Blogging - da Guyz

12 sing, 2 will go home Thursday.  I’ll keep it short, because really… we don’t have much to go on with these guys.  My top two:
Chris Sligh - total geek, to know enough about Simon to string together El Divo and the Teletubbies in a off-the-cuff remark back to Simon, too funny.  plus he sang [...]

Friday Night Lights - Black Eyes and Broken Hearts

Been sorta kinda watching FNL since it started, and have enjoyed snippets and parts of it.  The composition of the series is wonderful, you get the feeling of some sort of docu-drama from the way it is presented, which is different than with other dramas on TV.
The best part of last night was the exchange [...]

Lost - Flashes Before Your Eyes

In case you missed it, LOST is back on track. Really. Last week’s episode, Not in Portland, was top notch, and we got Kate and Sawyer off Alcatraz, Ben is now not only humorless, but tumorless. Ben has a daughter and Pickett got the double tap to the chest courtesy Juliette.
But none [...]

From the clipping room floor - Heroes

Mohinder with his new cohort, Sylar, are driving to meet the next person on ‘The List’
Sylar: Hey can we stop by Trader Joe’s?
Mohinder: why?
Sylar: Just have a hankering for some fava beans..
Mohinder: Okay, sounds yummy!
awkward silence as they drive]
[Mohinder: So... what's a good main dish that goes with fava beans?
Sylar: Ummm... [...]

Lost - catching up.

I guess Cuse and Liddlehof are supposed to do a one hour “Lost Survival Guide” tonight (set your appropriate TV recording device accordingly) an hour before kickoff.
If it fails, you can read my summary of the last six episodes below.

ABC … Good News - Bad News.

Wizbang Pop! has a link to an EOnline! report that Isaiah Washington (Dr. Burke) may get the heave-ho for using the six-letter f-word, again and again and again.  Christina will be crushed, I’m sure.
Also for all you Derek Hopper (Taye Diggs) fans, Day Break will finally start its online spree next Monday, and the series [...]

10 reasons why Heroes is better than 24

10. 24 takes place on a fairly limited time frame where the audience is expected to suspend belief and accept that CTU can drive from North to South LA in less than an hour during rush hour traffic.  Heroes has a very real time traveler, which makes man-made time frames a thing of the past.
9.  [...]
