Cavemen... Here's to Extinction!
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
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!

BIONIC BEEEYATCH!
I love Katee Sackhoff in Battlestar Galactica and I noticed that according to imdb.com that shes's only in 2 episodes of this show which I hope is true because I want to see her return to Battlestar which is one of the more brilliantly show ever written. I know that they "killed" her off according to BG but there was no visual proof so I'm expecting her to make a comeback.
...oh hey, another BG sighting in this show - Aaron Douglas
Complaint Newsflash ... I'm still in the middle of watching the show and they just did that whole, youngster is pissed off because the adult abandoned them and although everything can be fixed with a simple explanation but for some rease they just can't say it... such BS....
"What do you want from me?"
"Honestly I'm not sure."
Well neither do the viewers! Why is Starbuck beating up Bionic woman #2? We don't know, they don't know, the writers don't even know, I guess they just thought it would make for a cool chick fight scene....
HEROES Premiere
Heroes is back - yay (I said, very sarcastically) Whay am I not thrilled like the rest of the world , you ask? Because this show SUCKS! The first season started off good... interesting... and then it all went down hill. I bacames so predictable, sooooo lame. Last season I said the if the season finally ends in a lame fight scene where each "hero" gets to chip in to fight the bad guy just as weak excuse for each to show off their "super-power" that I won't watch the show this season... Well I just watched the this seasons premiere... does that mean that I was wrong in my prediction of the first seasons series finally? NO - it just means I'm a liar! The second half of last season and especially the season finally SUCKED BALLS! But out of the great kindness of my heart I thought I'd give this season another look-see and so far IT SUCKS BALLS!!! OK, so at the end of last season we knew that the Petrelli brothers would survive, we knew that Syler survived... of course EVERYBODY SURVIVED! Couldn't they take some kind of chance in their wirting? No I guess not and not only that but the said "screw any kind of suspence" they're so scared that they may loose a viewer if they don't see their favorite character that not only did they not surprise up by bumping anyone of importance off that they brought basically everyone back in the first episode!!! I can't say enough about how weak the writing in this show is... the series started off with a great premise and characters but then they F'd it all up!
Hmmm... they don't usually stick a sexy-chickie-baby like this into a show unless they plan on expanding the character... love interest for Hiro of the reason for the English samurai to change his selfish ways - the way this show plays I see it only going one of these two ways....
K-Ville
Just a few examples:
- Cop pulls a gun on his partner because he know his way around town.
- Ex-cop, after two years of absence, suddenly starts popping up abound every corner saving the day and he is able to do this with only the aid of a police radio.
- New cop turns out to be an ex con who has a second chance because the prison he was in got flooded and his criminal record got washed away.
- Cop discovers his new partners criminal past by going through a stack of old wanted posters!
NO TO MENTION... that this show makes New Orleans look more dangerous that a lawless gunslinger town from the Old West. Step into New Orleans and you have a 9/10 chance of dieing within 24 hours... if I was from New Orleans I'd be pretty pissed with this show...
