Cavemen... Here's to Extinction!

OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!!! Hot branding irons, ancient water torture, toothpicks under my fingernail, anything... just don't make me watch another episode of this horrid show! In a 15 second commercial it was funny but a TV show? That was the worst 24 minutes of television I've seen in a long time, and I thought K-Ville was bad! I'd rather have the Journeyman take me back to the time cavemen and leave me there then to watch another episode of this show! They just strung one lame stereotype after another and another and just kept it going - there was nothing funny AT ALL in this show...weak, Oh so weak...

The only thing that kept me from gouging my eyes out with a hot poker than to continue watching was Kaitlin Doubleday... very easy on the eyes...

Journeyman S1E2

So far I really like this show, it's Quantum Leap without the body snatching.
Kevin McKidd, who also played Lucius Vorenus in HBO's Rome (a great show except for the fact that all the ancient Romans spoke with a British accent :-) Plays a character who is sucked randomly through time to help people in the past to make decisions or correct wrongs... not an original idea but so far done well.
Moon Bloodgood's character of Dan's ex who had supposedly died 9 years earlier only to find out that she's still alive and somehow traveling through time herself adds some great curiosity dynamics to the show... where has she been? What does she do? What's her connection? etc... Hopefully the writers give you enough information to keep it interesting but also leave enough mystery to keep it interesting...

This weeks episode sucked Dan back to the cabin of an airplane in the 1970's and they didn't hold back on any 70's stereotype! Sexy stewardesses in mini skirts serving cans of Tab in a smoke filled cabin with "Get Down Tonight" by KC & The Sunshine Band blaring while people drank, talked, and walked around like it was a disco. Little kids playing with toy guns while doctors drank scotch and everybody oblivious to the needs of a pregnant woman in labor...

...and speaking of labor - they just had to so the woman's water breaking all over their feet and the floor (and now I'll share that image with you!) ... ahhhhh!

Prison Break S3E3 - The Faceless Sarah

Eh, what can I say? Prison Break is Prison Break, it's about as realistic as an old Twilight Zone episode... What I'd like to know is what's up with Sarah? Budget cuts on the show or are they planning some kind of twist? They have yet to show her face. You see her in the photos but every time they've "shown" her and LJ (who have both been kidnapped) you see LJ's face but they never show Sarah. Only the back of her head or her legs - never her face. So are they just using a stand-in for her when shooting the show or are they not showing her face as part of the show's plot... Hmmmmm...

...back of her head when talking to Michael on the phone...

...just her feet and legs when getting into the van... Hmmmmm....

...and this? Well, this is just disturbing...

UPDATE: Ok, so I guess Sarah was let go from the show, It's no secret I just haven't been paying attention. That explains the Cousin IT hair-doo and bad camera angles. It also opens up the possibility that it's Sarah's head in the box at the end of the episode. It's better to kill her off than have a wig as one of the main characters. Too bad really since she was my favorite character, the only one to have some depth to her character other than T-Bag. They could just use cardboard cutouts with one facial expression for everyone else on the show...

Heroes S2E2 - This little piggie went to the market....

Katie Carr as the independent and bold Irish lass, cleaning Peter's wounds

Much better this week!

This week’s episode started off really weak with 3 bud guys from Ireland beating up Peter for stealing the iPods they wanted to steal… OK, so they find him handcuffed and beaten inside a shipping container and assume he stole the merchandise they’re looking for… where did he hide it, up his ass? This is just an asinine storyline, nobody, even Irish crooks are this stupid! I thought it would be all downhill from there but I was pleasantly surprised, the rest of the episode was great… Suresh in his role as a mole, Peter rediscovering some of his powers with the Irish lass, and everybody’s favorite cheerleader cutting off her own toe… good stuff!


Eriko Tamura looking absolutely kissable while waiting for a kiss from her "hero"

Sad little Hiro, unable to take credit and kiss the "princess"

...and this little piggie went "wee, wee, wee" all the way home!

Claire's toe growing back... nice!
