Heroes
The wall was high, but not so high that Peter and Sylar couldn't consider the possibility of climbing OVER it. There was a fence intersecting with it that was more than half the wall's height, they could have used that as a jumping off point. Oh wait, Peter only ever gets one idea at a time and sticks with it until he's played it out.
Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town
Hey, cool, a cameo by Colin Mochrie. There were some good gags in this episode, like the moron cops both being drunk and letting the mayor's wife use a hairdryer to pass her breathalyzer ignition test, and the jury duty form's questions about obesity, and the really crooked veterinarian taking advantage of the lawyer whose cat is in two different comas. Also enjoying the rivalry between Heather and Corinda.
Lost
Lost is the coolest and most epic show on television right now, so you can imagine how excited I am that it is back after an excruciating 8 month hiatus. I had a feeling that instead of showing us one outcome or another, they would show us both because I'd heard the show was going in a new direction, and that's exactly what happened. The premiere had me grinning big time - I love those "WTF is going on?" moments. What I can't figure out is why they're bothering to show us two alternate timelines. I mean it's really cool to see, but I just don't know how they will fit together yet. But I do think that Sayid may now be possessed by Jacob so that he can battle "Flocke" with his soldier kung fu.
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
Okay, now that I've discussed the Heroes Tribe, let's take a look at the Villains.
-Tyson Apostol: Tyson can be arrogant and cold, but he's also funny so I don't mind him too much. I can potentially see him sticking around for a bit because he has a cunning, sneaky side.
-Randy Bailey: I actually kind of pity Randy. He's grumpy, mean, and seems to hate literally all people. I don't even know why he auditioned for Survivor, but I imagine he came back to get revenge on Sugar or something.
-Sandra Diaz-Twine: What I remember about Sandra is that she won her season by staying under the radar and doing a lot of eavesdropping from the bushes. That seems like a really obvious and straightforward thing to do but surprisingly no one else has ever used the "hide and listen" tactic to the extent that Sandra has.
-Danielle DiLorenzo: I barely remember Danielle. I even forgot that she came in second the first time around. But I think I can recall her being less than smart.
-Russell Hantz: As I blogged about him last season, Russell is one of the most arrogant players ever and I can see this guy coming back for every single All-Stars season until he wins. I think he'll have to work harder this time around though, because he's playing with veterans.
-Jerri Manthey: At this point I can't even remember why Jerri was such a villain back in the day, but I still have a general dislike for her because at the very least she comes off as an attention whore refusing to give up her 15 minutes of fame.
-"Boston Rob" Mariano: Boston Rob was certainly a power player on the All-Stars season, helping his future wife Amber to win the whole thing, but this season is going to have a LOT of power players, and I have no clue who will emerge as the main vote decider.
-Parvati Shallow: I hate Parvati, and I can say that her surname is highly appropriate. She acts like a conceited high school girl and I don't believe she really did anything to deserve her Fans vs. Favourites win.
-Benjamin "Coach" Wade: I also hate Coach, because he is one of the most self-absorbed idiots to play the game. His interests include: boasting about all of the wild things he's done and the multiple times he narrowly escaped death; pretending he's a samurai; constantly talking about warriors and dragonslayers; and claiming that he never lies when most of the stuff he says is too ridiculous to be true.
-Courtney Yates: Courtney isn't really that much of a villain, it's mostly that she's sarcastic and sharp-tongued. But she had some funny comments along the way and even won a challenge due to being incredibly scrawny. I can see her getting along well with Tyson.
Fringe
Olivia should have seen Peter glimmering right away when she first got scared, but I guess it was more appropriate for the writers to have it happen at the end of the episode. That almost-kiss has been a long time coming though, given the sexual tension between them. Cool episode. The best Fringe episodes are the ones that deal with the continuing story.
Parks and Recreation
Tom was hilarious in this episode with his snazzy costume changes, room-sized walk-in closet, and, of course, DJ Roomba. And so was Ron, who hand-crafted a harp while drunk and then took photos of himself making it to prove his judgment wasn't impaired.
The Office
I don't know why nobody knows how to pronounce "sabre" properly, but it sure makes for a funny song when you have to mess up the rhyme scheme in the middle of singing it. Jim and Pam really shouldn't have brought up the bathroom thing - it was clear from the rest of the tour and interview that the guy was already willing to forget it and move on.
30 Rock
I love 30 Rock, but I have to admit I've never liked Jenna. She's too much of a one-note character and 9 times out of 10 I find her more annoying than funny. So I wasn't really a fan of the story about Jenna and her mother, except when Jack was involved. Because Jack Donaghy is never not awesome.
Kenny vs. Spenny
Who can make a better commercial? Kenny's commercials were really, really funny, but as the judges said, Spenny's was a little more on topic because he actually gave information about the product. And submitted forged market research documents. I wonder if Spenny will cheat more often now. I'm not sure how I feel about that because then every episode will just become "Who is a better cheater?".
Hero of the Week: Christian Slater, guest starring on The Office. If he was back there, he'd know what to do.
Douchebag of the Week: Jerry from Parks and Recreation, because he killed DJ Roomba. HE WAS LIKE A SON TO TOM!
