Was there a big sale at the wuss market?
TV commentary:
On Prison Break, I get they're trying to make it look like T-bag is wanting to reform, but I dunno, he's a pedophile and multiple-rapist and murderer. I don't think anyone watching could swallow him turning good. And its just silly- I mean, acting all aghast and disgusted when Rita takes some comment of his about Gretchen's daughter to be lecherous, and looking all shocked when Self says to kill the two hostages if he doesn't call back, or not wanting them to see him kill the company man/bible salesman guy? We're supposed to believe that after all the horrible things he's done throughout all the years of this show?
Speaking of the bible salesman, so they give him a crucifix and a prayer card and make him know bible quotes to make his cover more convincing, but the guy doesn't take off his military ring?! That's retarded! Yeah, he has a story that its his brother's, but if he has all that stuff on him to make him seem like he's really a bible salesman, it shouldn't be that hard to take off a friggin' ring!
I totally forgot Sucre got shot a while ago. Yet, I'm amused he's pretty spry, unless its convenient for the plot, such as Gretchen focusing on the injury to get the upper hand. Though she's a trained special forces assassin, she shouldn't need such a dirty trick to beat Sucre! Though I figured the Company's henchmen are supposed to be competent! How the hell do they drive up with machine guns drawn and in body armor, yet Gretchen is able to just walk up to them and kill them and steal their SUV?!
And speaking of those two, this show likes the improbable twists. I mean, Self shooting the ultrasound camera round made it seem like he was expecting his gas them out plan not to succeed (though I guess it could've been a back up plan), but he had no way of knowing Linc would get the jump on him, or if he did, that Linc wouldn't kill him. But the whole Sucre hiding in the trunk with the fake back mockup, that seems like the gang knew they would capture Self (even though Linc only stumbled onto him through luck, and they were pretty surprised by the attack as well), but also that Gretchen would come in and break him out!
Ah, and Mahone contacts Lange, who brings in Wheeler, and when the plan falls apart, Lange reluctantly arrests him. The whole thank you thing was weird though. Yeah, Lange's all guilty because you know she secretly lurves Mahone, but the emphasis Mahone put on the "everything" makes me think mebbe she slipped him a key or did something to help him get out of the mess he's in.
Oh, and the Company Doctor being all, "I've only seen this kinda tumor once before" and the General coaxing Linc to work for the company to get Scylla back, along with a rumor I heard about an upcoming plot has me feeling ill. I remember hearing a possible spoiler that Linc's mom was still alive, and that made me think he and Michael had different mothers (wait, didn't they, I thought they were half brothers), but did they actually see Michael's mom die when they were kids? It has me thinking the Company saved her from the tumor and she didn't actually die?

Okay, the whole time line of this Sarah Connor Chronicles ep confused me. So does the Derek stuff take place now now? Well, in the now of the show? Meaning the 6 months ago was actually 6 months ago from the show? I don't think that works. It sounded like they were led to this family because of the bloody wall, but that took place after they got the new house. Now, Busy Phillips was ridiculously preggers at that point. And then when Chrome Artie visited before they took him out in Mexico (which seemed like it was only a couple days afterwards) she was still preggers. Is she like in her 5th trimester now or something? It just doesn't seem like 6 months have passed between the bloody wall and where the show left off before this last ep. Unless they did some fast forwarding.
Oh, but the future flash did at least explain why Jessie was Aussie! I was wondering about that, because she's relatively young, meaning she was just a kid when Judgement day arrived. I guess she could've been an Aussie who moved to California, but Ida know, that seemed kinda unlikely. But I guess she's part of an Aussie group that travels the Pacific between Australia and the US, supplying the American resistance?
Anyhoo, was it me, or was Sarah Junior (hey, Sarah was barely out of her teens in the first movie, and all of a sudden she's forced to become this bad-ass survivor on the run, which this girl seems to be) orange in the flashback? She seemed less orange in the Derek part. And kinda cute. Though I do kinda like that hairstyle on some chyx. Mebbe it makes them look androgynous and I can make my "I want me some of that, whatever that is" joke.
But speaking of her adapting to that life of hiding and fighting pretty well (its nice to see she actually survived way into the future with her sister), I'm a little skeptical. I mean, one night with Sarah and Cameron, and they're ready to run and hide by themselves?! Well, I guess that was the same with Sarah. The first movie only spanned a day, so Reese didn't have that much time to teach her anything useful, she like seemed to figure that out all on her own.

Okay, on HIMYM, I did find the whole showing old footage with bartender guy spliced him hilarious, but I always find it kinda funny when shows do that (like they did with Elizabeth Banks on Scrubs). But it was a pretty funny ep, and I liked how Robin started hanging all over Barney when she thought he did get into that fight. Speaking of, how does Cobie Smulders not get more play? She can be pretty mad cute on this show.
Anyhoo, I also loved both versions of Marshall's fighting with his brothers. I mean, he does seem kinda like a goofy dork, so the silly tickle fight/cocoa break image the gang had in their heads does seem likely, but he and his family are huge, so I can believe them horsing around pretty roughly. Though not to the fight club extent there at the end (though kudos to using the Foreskin's "Murder Train" as the background music)

So on Chuck, Anna's finally back, with nary an explanation. Morgan buying the Delorean was retarded though. Deloreans don't look nearly as cool without all that Back to the Future stuff in the rear end. And if it stalls if it goes above 22mph, why did they have to send someone else to grab the guy? Couldn't they have easily run down there and grabbed the sheik?
But I thought it was a fun episode. They're certainly no Ocean's Eleven, but they made an amusing effort. Oh, and are the cops they sent to Sarah's dad's hotel the worst or what? He was like standing 10 feet away!! How could they not find him?!

On Heroes, well Sylar not only killed Elle, but he torched her corpse too. Owel, at least he seemed to look sad about it. Though I do like serial killer Sylar better. The whole "Ooh, cake!" line when the lie-detector chick's co-workers showed up was kinda funny. But it turns out he's not Arthur's son. So he's not a Petrelli? It seems like they're just taking everything they did this season and just undoing it!
And how did Arthur know when to exactly show up to take Hiro's powers? And now that he's dead, what happens to all the powers he took? Or the catalyst? Are they just gone, so that Hiro and Peter are just screwed? Or would that injection give them their powers back? Like can they tailor the injections to give them specific powers, or is it like the 4400 (heh, they even got that one guy from the 4400 to play the first marine volunteer) where the ability is dependent on the receiver?
