This Week in Television - Nov. 9-13, 2009

Heroes
Man, Samuel is really working everyone. Still not sure exactly what his goal is. I'm not convinced that wanting to keep the other "special" people safe is his only priority. The Parkman vs. Sylar stuff was the highlight of the episode though, I am loving that plotline.

V
Still hate that Tyler kid. I like how Decker turned the tables on Anna, although Scott Wolf is admittedly one of the most forgettable actors out there so I wish he was being played by someone else.

Glee
I'll admit it, it was kind of sweet when they revealed that Sue has a mentally challenged sister. Kind of makes me like her more, even though I mainly like her for her hilarious evilness.

Survivor: Samoa
Damn, Russell keeps finding idols and playing them. I still think he'll get his.

Fringe
I knew it was the kid doing the mind control before they revealed it. They kept cutting to him every time someone was being forced to kill themselves. I don't think that human brains would taste like chicken but those kinds of random thoughts are why Walter Bishop is my hero.

Parks and Recreation
I liked this one. It wasn't necessarily the funniest episode, but I thought it was a cool episode idea to have everyone design a new mural for the town hall. Andy shining shoes seems like a perfect job for him somehow, I hope he keeps that one for a while.

The Office
Michael was kind of annoying in this episode, and I never find him as annoying as everyone else who watches The Office does. I guess I just wasn't really a fan of him staying in his southern gentleman character for most of the episode. The Mexican standoff at the end was awesome though.

30 Rock
I love that Liz Lemon's name on the foreign market is "Lesbian Yellow Sour Fruit".

Flash Forward
So I guess the whole debate they're getting into now is: can the future really be changed? On Lost they talked about how the universe has a way of course correcting, but does that apply on Flash Forward? I think what I'm actually most intrigued about is what they're going to do for the second season, which would take place after everyone's flash forwards come to pass (or not?). Maybe they'll all just have new flash forwards to stress about.
