1 Week to Wilson!
It's Monday! You all know what that means! HOUSE MOTHERFUCKERS! And some other pretty cool shows too. :D
House
Oh my GAWD! How did I go this long without House? Who doesn't love a group of coniving overly intelligent doctors! Since I happened to not make comments as I wrote, this will not be as detailed as usual. (I have like the worst short term memory ever.)
I have to admit it, and any of you on my twitter may have seen it, but I may have panicked a bit at that massive amounts of Huddy. FUCK I hate them together! I was so freakin' worried that House would actually manage to crash the Thanksgiving dinner, and not purely because I don't like Huddy. I have this complete (possibly irrational) hatred and fear of embarassment. House showing up at the actual dinner would've been a prime example of this for me. In that situation, I would've felt like a complete ass and very embarassed, therefore, that whole sequence turned horror movie-esque to me. I love horror movies, but that whole bit had me cowering on my couch covering my eyes like it was the goriest thing I'd ever seen... and maybe in someways it was!
Though I don't really believe that Cuddy is over House (especially with her last line), but I have to have hope with the way it was going. I like that AT LEAST she's saying she doesn't want him and he SEEMS to be accepting that. All I can do is cross my fingers, even if logic dictates otherwise.
I honestly think the best thing about this episode was about the supporting characters. Chase punching House was awesome and long overdue. Don't get me wrong, I still love House, but he did deserve it and though it was three years late, it was so great that it was Chase! And then Chase admitting that part of the reason he did it was so that people wouldn't talk to him about Cameron leaving anymore? LOL! And everyone's been thinking that it's Foreman that's the most like House.
I also love how Taub used the picture of House with a busted nose to get his wife's respect back! They're all turning into mini-Houses! I kind of like it, but I think it's going to come to ahead, especially since House seems to be realizing just how much that mindset doesn't work... or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
In other exciting news. NEXT WEEK IS WILSON OMGWTFBBQ! I can't freakin' wait! Who knew Monday's could be so awesome??
Lie To Me
Anyone else feel like this episode was jumping the shark-ish? I generally like the show, like the interactions and the storylines, but it went from interesting psychological stuff to massive action in a war zone. It just seemed a bit out there for what the rest of the show has been like. I didn't particularily hate the episode. In fact, I really liked the psychological aspects, and trying to figure out who the guy really was, but something about the episode didn't sit well with me. I can't quite put my finger on it.
Canada's Worst Driver
I tell people all sorts of stories about why I don't have a license, and they are true, but maybe not so true as I don't want to be on the road with these crazy fuckers!
How the hell do these people have their licenses? We've got Angelina freaking out, Arun driving down the yellow line, no one shoulder checking or even signalling all for what should be a simple lane change! WE'RE ONLY 10 MINUTES INTO THE EPISODE PEOPLE! Good LORD! This is like a nightmare! And they're on a controlled course!
Okay, is it totally wrong that I don't want Jakob to go home purely because his girlfriend is totally hot?
Arun is a scary motherfucker! At first I had more respect for him because he was trying and knew he was bad and said if he didn't get better, he was going to stop driving. I don't think he thinks this anymore. He just keeps fucking up, won't admit that it's wrong and then gives up. That is SCARY!
Angelina is totally cracking me up, but that's nothing new. That girl is USELESS! And scary looking! No one needs that much makeup, I DON'T care! *shudders* But her atrociousness leads to hilarity! How bad is it that the PRIEST is laughing at her as she keeps driving around the circle looking for the limo? When they were changing lanes, it was a basic circular coarse, in broad daylight. The host drove a limo around a circle, and they had to pass him safely, I think three times. Angelina just kept driving around... and then she yells Mike Butt because he calls her on being the worst! HILARIOUS!
Oh my god, now they're making them drive at night! ON PUBLIC ROADS! They drop them off somewhere they don't know and make them find their own ways back to the hotel. The best part? Angelina's car has expired tags and the headlights don't work so they're making her figure out how to get her car back to the hotel WITHOUT DRIVING IT! Oh my International friends, how I wish you could see this! *dies laughing*
HOLY SHIT! FATHER GILES WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT! He's like the slowest driver ever! Then there's the opposite, Mr. Mike Butt doing 110 in a 50! Here that means a $10,000 fine, and having your car impouded and license suspended ON THE SPOT!
Father Giles is ruling this episode. He's got my money on graduating.
One final thought. I'm about to say something really mean. Crystal, one of the contestants, has been laughing at everything she does badly, really hasn't been taking anything seriously (though she's one of the worst there) and in the episode she just got a phone call saying that her brother in law was killed in a car accident (he was on a motorcycle and the car that hit him failed to yield, something she does all the time). I guess she won't think it's so funny now! I think it's unfortunate, and not just because an innocent man died, but because it means she's leaving early. She would not have been graduating this episode.
Heroes
The finally fucking interesting again Heroes! It's about damn time! That mess that Angela, Parkman and Noah cooked up is going to bite them, and everyone else, in the ass. Sylar's fighting for control over his body, and I don't know that the memories of Nathan that Matt pushed into that body are strong enough. Matt's ability is pretty freakin' awesome, but it's not like he'd ever done anything like that before. There has to be glitches.
THERE'S A MRS. MUGGLES! HOLY FUCK!
I love the strange domesicity (sp) of the Bennetts. Despite all the strangeness, they're so a typical family! Thinly veiled hostility over a lovely meal. The new college student threatening to drop out and snapping at the mother's new boyfriend. The mother getting all pissy about Dad's new girlfriend. Priceless! Simply priceless! Then tinge it all with super-powers and Dad coming through at the end with the daughter's new girlfriend! lol!
Very similar is the Patrelli family thanksgiving, but of course, since Angela is evil, it has to be much more violent.
I sense mutiny on the bounty in Carnie-land. It had to be Hiro that showed what's her face what Samuel is really like. Hiro is simply the most upstanding person on the show. He always tries to do what's right, and when someone isn't good, he does what he thinks is necessary to take them down... like burying people alive. I love Hiro. I think he's going to play a big part in taking Samuel down... and he may end up with a carnival full of followers for his troubles.
I think what I like most about this episode is the parallels. Each story is a different variation on a typical family meal. Arguments and fights and the one addict relative that always shows up univited. And yet, in some respect, they all try to help each other out when it comes down to it. Noah invites Gretchen, Sandra and Lauren have a bit of a bonding moment, despite the fight before hand, Nathan fights his way out of Sylar to save Angela (and probably Peter) and Hiro saves what's his face (Edgar?) from Samuel.
What I am interested in is what the hell the Jamaican Haitian (Or was he African?) did to Hiro!
Well, I guess that's it for now. I keep thinking I should make a real life update, but then I get caught up in the wonderful world of television. Ah well, maybe tomorrow! :D
