152 insights into my soul

TV commentary:

Dollhouse- I think this was one of the better eps so far. Lots of interesting developments and reveals. ( cut for spoilers )

Terminator: SCC- I thought tonight's SCC was pretty good as well. ( spoiler cut )

Friday Night Lights- Lots of interesting developments on FNL. ( spoiler cut )

BSG- saved this for last, even though it wasn't the best (I actually enjoyed the above eps more). But hey, now that its done for, I'm halfway to being fine with the end of the world. As I said when certain people thought it was gonna be Armageddon last month, I would be pissed if the world ended before seeing how Lost and BSG turned out. Some people loved it, some like the usual suspects totally hated it. Honestly, I thought it was okay until the second half. ( spoiler cut )

Oh, interesting to see them break out some new weapons. I mean, the pistols they've been using were FN 5-7s and Vektor CP1s (since they both look very futuristic), and they've been using HK MP-7s as submachine guns and Beretta Storms as their assault rifles, even though the Storm is really a 9mm carbine, not a rifle caliber weapon. But this is the first time I've seen the Marines carrying really heavy stuff (unless I wasn't paying attention on New Caprica), like M-60E3 machine guns.

Saw Watchmen with the usual suspects today. I enjoyed it, though it is a bit lengthy. But the soundtrack was pretty cool. And I don't think you had to have read the graphic novel to understand it, though I wanna saw some of the opening credits montage might be a little confusing if you hadn't. The fights were pretty brutal too. Like some things that didn't even take up more than a few panels in the book were a little more drawn out, but I would think they would have to spice it up for the big screen. Heh, and while Patrick Wilson wasn't as paunchy as the novel Nite Owl II, he was appropriately nerdy. ( spoiler cut )

TV Commentary:

Degrassi- So did the actress playing Anya hit a growth spurt or something? I don't recall her being that much taller than Holly J. But at the end, when Alli sees Holly J, and they show her with that brunette, I was wondering, "who is that giantess she's talking to?!" But it was Anya. ( spoiler cut )

So I heard that the aunts heard from a seer that the Eight Days of Darkness is coming this week. (I thought it was only three when I younger) I thought it was supposed to take place after the Rapture? But anyways, you know, the righteous (wait, I thought those would all disappear during the Rapture, or was that just children? But whoever would be taken away would be so to spare them the coming horrors? Mebbe its people who are really good and the innocent, and this warning is going out to those who aren't good enough, but aren't exactly evil either) need to hole up in their houses and board up their windows and not let anyone in. Because darkness will envelop the world, and demons will walk the Earth and try to take the guise of people you know to be let into your house so they can kill you.

In any case, if it is the apocalypse this week, I'll be pretty pissed. I mean, I could complain about never having a threesome with a cute Asian chick with an English or Aussie accent and a blond-haired/green-eyed snowflake cutie, but what I would really be mad about is not seeing how BSG or Lost will turn out! And I think I would've like to have seen all the Harry Potter books made into movies.

TV commentary:

Monk- I'm guessing the intention was to gross people out with the whole hot dog thing, but all it did was make me crave a hot dog right now. With chili and cheese and onions and mustard. ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi: Ah, so Leia is a former ballerina? I still don't buy Danny and Derek as star football jocks. I do find Riley's storyline interesting. In most of these shows, when you have a male character realizing he's gay, his closest confidant ends up being some chick who becomes his fag hag. I mean, he'll have male friends, but it'll be this whole thing where they're freaked out at first, but eventually come to terms with it. So the whole thing with Peter being his confidant is refreshing. ( spoilers )

( Terminator: SCC )

Dollhouse- I think this week's Dollhouse was better than last week. And with some of the stuff that occurs, makes me wonder why this wasn't the pilot? Oh, and what's with the brief appearance of Romo Lampkin? I mean, last week's Burn Notice, this past ep of Leverage, he's hard at work! ( spoiler cut )

*****

( The Closer )

Some more TV commentary:

BSG- Okay, going by last night's ep, and what I remember from BSG pre-colonial history, let me see if I have a handle of how things are. ( spoiler cut )

Dollhouse- Hmm, a somewhat interesting concept. A secret corporation run by Moira Mactaggard that caters to the ultra rich, providing them with whatever kinda people they want (temporarily), from companions to assassins. Of course, a lot of it seems to be, "Let's dress Echo (Eliza Dushku) in all sorts of different sexy outfits!" But cool, they also have Amy Acker as the corp's doctor, who's still mad cute despite her character's face being all scarred up. Echo's handler is General Lock. And it also has Helo as an obsessed Feeb investigating the corporation even if he's causing waves and hurting his career by messing with the wrong people and following the info wherever it takes him, even if its endangering other cases.

Onto the ep: ( under the cut )
