Heroes Se03Ep02 "The Butterfly Effect"

I am at a loss for words. How can I possibly sit and write a review for the episode, when all I want to do is go watch the next one? Damn it!

Well, the good doctor has finally gone bad boy on us and decides it's about time he got some action. Score! Oooh, who's been a naughty doctor then? It seems that with great power, comes great sense of irresponsibility. Mohinder and Maya do the dirty deed in the lab, no less!

Check out the doc's lean and hairless body!

Hiro and Ando travel all the way Paris, France in pursuit of the superfast thief that has stolen the formula. Hiro still doesn't trust Ando, after travelling to the future just in time to see Ando kill him with red electrity bolt type power. The dynamics between these two are just enjoyable. Or maybe it's just the speaking in Japanese that did it for me? Will Ando eventually betray Hiro because he chose Daphne, super sonic girl, over him? Hey, it could happen! Again, our poor Hiro was outsmarted and the formula was once again out of his grasp. Way to prolong the foreplay!

Peter saves Claire from being hit by a train. Well, future!Peter did. Again, I am captivated and kinda weirded out how coupl-y they look together on screen. I think I should stop watching gossip channel. It's messing up my experience in watching Heroes. Would've been fun though to see Claire being hit by a train. Erm, right. Moving on.

"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are just happy to see me?"

Ahhh, Nikki. Or Jessica. Or Tracy. Is she yet another manifestation of Nikki's split personality? Or a completely new person, complete with new powers to freeze people? And what happened to Micah and that girl with copycat power? I'm not placing any bets on this one. The writer's will certainly find a way to completely throw me off the trail. Those people must be paid for their talent in gold. Literally.

Is Linderman really alive? Or has Nathan finally lost it? I am going for the latter, I think. But like I said, the shows' writers have a way of squirming out of the most impossible loopholes and leave the viewers baffled and confused.

The Level 5 villains have escaped! Yeay! I think. It's about time we got to see how real badasses work. Sylar who?

90210 Se01Ep07 "Hollywood Forever"

Vanilla. This show is a total vanilla compared to all the others. Why do I even bother watching it? Oh, erm, right. The teacher, Mr Matthews is total hottie. The new principal is kinda cute too. But Ethan? LOL. Oh dear. I will never be able to get the image of him in Supernatural's Ghostfacers as the nerd intern who was in love with his boss, a guy, out of my head. I just can't see him as the school hunk. Sorry. I just can't. Why can't they have picked better looking kids as the main cast, I'll never know.


"Thanks to my part in Supernatural as a gay nerd, I am now the lead actor for a teen series. Go me!"

The new student seems promising. I sense chemistry between her and Mr Matthews. Turns out she's a narcotics officer in disguise. Bummer. I was kinda holding my breath for a student-teacher relationship to shake things up.

Divorce. Drugs. Boyfriends who don't watch horror movies. On again, off again relationship between 2 characters, complete with complicated relationship with ex-girlfriend. Been there, done that. I'm better off watching Gossip Girl.

Heroes Se03Ep01 "The Second Coming"

Gasp. Gasp. GASP.

This is why I love this show so much. You can never tell what is going to happen. The opening scene with Claire gone bad and shooting Peter implies so much. What happened after Nathan revealed the truth? The ones with powers are hunted down like fugitives, and is Claire working for the Agency now? And did anybody else feel the electricity between Hayden and Milo? Which is just wrong for the show because he is her uncle?

Does nobody stay dead or without a power in this show? Let's see if we can keep up.

    • Claire - regenerated so many times, I don't even bother with numbers
    • Peter - thanks to Claire, he is able to regenerate too
    • Sylar - thanks to Claire - again - now Sylar can't die too. And what was with the scene with him literally picking at her brain? Why didn't he have to eat hers?
    • HRG - courtesy of Claire, yet again. Maybe this is what they mean by "Save the cheerleader. Save the characters... I mean, world.
    • Nikki/Jessica/Tracy? - doesn't regenerate or come back from the dead. Just notoriously hard to kill
    • Nathan - healed from severe radioactive burns once by Adam Monroe aka Takezo Kensei, and back from the dead once courtesy of Linderman
    • Linderman - so... he can heal others. How did he heal himself from getting his brain scrambled?
    • Mohinder - superpoers at last! Screw world-moving-scientific discoveries. He now has super strength type power. Yeay!
    "I'm baaaaack!

    Oh, and Level 5? Now, there's something to look forward to. And why is HRG placed there? Is he so dangerous to the Agency that he's been upgraded from Level 2 where he was contained before? Is the bald headed guy screaming that he's Peter Petrelli really Peter Petrelli? Guess future!Peter has learned some newer and cooler tricks.

    Oh, and Hiro. Why did you open the safe? And the part the video where his father already knew that Hiro would open the safe. LOL Cool new character. Was she imune to Hiro's power? Can we say love interest?

    "Don't we make a cute couple? Milo and Hayden, eat your heart out!"

    Now, just a quick recap. Matt is in the desert. Peter is in Level 5 containment unit together with other badasses, including HRG. Mohinder has superstrength. Sylar has gotten Claire's power and is hungry for more badass powers. Claire has lost her innocence, which will lead her to a path of coloring her hair black and wearing tight, black leather in the future. Nikki has yet another split personality, called Tracy. Oh, and Hiro will finally get laid by a woman who can move with the speed of sound. Maybe. Hey, it could happen.



    I am so gonna watch the second episode today!

    Supernatural Se04Ep03 "In The Beginning"

    Dum dum daaa! Now, I get it! And more Castiel - yeay! Erm, he's still wearing the same trench coat since we first saw him. Don't angels need a change of clothes? Maybe they are divinely hygienic creatures? Who can tell? For all we know, Castiel is an angel of travel and Thursdays. That Kripke, always with his sense of humor LOL

    In this episode, Dean gets transported thru time back to when his parents, John and Mary, were young 'uns and not yet married. We know from the preview that he is sent back by Castiel to stop something.

    SPOILER ALERT



    "Dean.. I have something to tell you..." Ha! I wish! I really do..

    Did anybody else get bothered by the scene with Dean waking u
    p from a nightmare and Castiel sitting beside him on the bed, or was it just me? Erm, my inner slasher will be working overtime thanks to that particular scene *licks lips suggestively*

    “Sammy wherever you are, mom’s a babe. I’m going to hell…again.” - Dean

    That quote totally wins at life LOL. Jensen Ackles has perfect comedic
    timing and his facial expression was just right. He is a talented, talented man. As you all know, I watch Supernatural for the plot and the abundance of erm... talent on the show *coughcough*

    So Mary was a hunter too. And so were gramps Winchesters. No wonder the boys are such good hunters. It's their jeans... I mean, genes. These time traveling plots always boggle me to no ends so I'll stick to the basics.

    Castiel sent Dean back to change the past. Now, if we think about this carefully, we know this doesn't make sense. But I digress. Azezel, as he is affectionately known among his demon friends, or Yellow Eyed Demon (YED) as he is better known among Supernatural fans, makes the deals back then. The catch? Not souls, apparently. Just to let him feed his blood to your offspring so they can lead his army of demons. You know, same 'ol, same 'ol.

    "So then every jumps out and say.. Surprise!" (Dean) "I don't get it" (Samuel)

    The Wichester clan, grampa, mom and Dean, stops the demon as he was about to make a deal and that was how he first met Mary.

    Stop! Something just occured to me. What was Mary's maiden name? Technically, they're not the Winchester clan, but let's proceed for the sake of clarity and my sanity, shall we?

    As I was saying,
    the Wichester clan, grampa, mom and Dean, stops the demon as he was about to make a deal and that was how he first met Mary. Turns out YED has a thing for spunky blondes. Did he knew she was special then? Did Mary have special powers too? I don't know. But after Dean failed to kill YED with the Colt, which he borrowed, he told the truth to Samuel, his grandfather that he was from the future.

    Turns out, gramps is possesed by YED. Go figure. Took them 3 generations to figure out to just put a tattoo on their skin so that that can't happen? Hmph! YED continues to kill grandma and stick a knife into grampa just for good measure. Oh, he kills John Winchester too. Mary made a deal with YED to save John's life. So now we know.

    Castiel then appears and transports Dean back to present time. On the bed. Again. Erm, wow. My inner slasher just imploded. Then Castiel tells Dean that he couldn't have changed anything anyways, that he cannot change destiny. He just wanted Dean to know the truth about his family. A-ha! I told you that going back in time to change history was almost certain no-no!

    Castiel the nods to the empty bed next to Dean. Where is Sammy? Off on a date with his demon gal pal, The Demon Formerly Known As Ruby?

    "This car is way cooler than the Impala. Sorry, Dean" Gah, blasphemy!

    "Your brother is headed on dangerous road, Dean. We don't know where it will lead. So stop it. Or we will." - Castiel
    To be continued next week... Gah! Is this a great show or what?
