SPOILER ALERT. Lol.
House - Season 6, Episode 3: "The Tyrant". This episode was amazing. First of all, let me just say that James Earl Jones guest starred. Did you read that right the first time? YES. James Earl Jones guest starred. That's right, Darth Vader, and a great actor to boot. He portrayed this evil dictator, basically, who was on the verge of squashing a rebellion, but he was in the US because he was invited to speak at the UN, until he started coughing up blood. Naturally, they took him to the best: Princeton Plainsboro. When I first saw the teaser for this episode, I thought, hm, this reminds me of that episode from way back when with the Death Row inmate. They actually mentioned that in the first few minutes, and it proved to be drastically different. And the old team was back together. They spent so long trying to figure out what was wrong with him. At first, Cameron was against helping him, but Chase was for it, but by the end of the episode.... That final scene with Chase and Foreman was so intense... some of the best TV acting I've seen or paid attention to in a long, long time. The relationship between 13 and Foreman is still rocky, and when she left him alone at dinner after telling him off, well the whole common room was cheering her on [and calling Foreman a tool and a little bitch]. Finally, House. He 'magically' cured this Vietnam vet after provoking him to death, and now he doesn't have to move out! Lots of funny, lots of serious. Watch it.
Castle - Season 2, Episode 3: "Inventing the Girl". This episode was pretty good. "It's Fashion Week in New York City," says Castle, "and the clothes are to die for!" His quote pretty much sums up the plot... A model was murdered and it's up to Beckett and Castle to find out what happened [obviously]. I really like the relationship between Beckett and Castle [have I said this a thousand times before?]. In this episode, there isn't much change, except the ice has softened from the beginning of the season, and she's a little mad at him for not letting her read his manuscript. We also learn that she used to model. Hah. But any way... I felt like this case was a lot easier to solve [that's okay! the characters need a break once in a while! lol], but then again, it's very hard to follow last week's Strangers on a Train -esque episode. That was pretty awesome. But it was still good.
Heroes - Season 4, Episode 3: "Acceptance". This was great. The focus was mostly on Nathan and Hiro, with a little Tracy and the carnies splashed in. Claire comes to check up on Noah and suggests he gets a job, giving him some good advice for his future. Tracy has been set back up in her old job, and it's everything she thought she wanted, but there's something missing. She doesn't want a secretarial job where she sleeps with her boss and whoever else needs persuading - she wants a job where she can really help people, so Noah passes on his newfound wisdom. Hiro tried forty-something times to save a man from committing suicide, until he realises it's time for a new approach. He convinces the man to come down from the roof, and has an epiphany: it's time to tell his sister that he's dying. NOOO HIRO NOOO I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE, YOU'RE TOO CUTE ♥
Nathan, who is really Sylar, and will henceforth be known as Nathlar, was having trouble remembering Nathan's life, but he's been discovering Sylar's abilities as they begin to manifest themselves. "It's a new superpower every day," he complains worriedly to his brother. As he picks up objects from his past, he sees their histories, though he can't remember these things ever happening, and this leads him to unlock a dangerous secret about a high school girlfriend - she died, and it's all his fault. He tells this to the girl's mother, and she arranges for Nathlar to be assassinated and for the job to look like a robbery gone bad [they drug him, steal his stuff, shoot him, and bury him in the forest], while she eats with Angela, pretending to be concerned about Nathan's mental health. Of course, this leads to the crazy final shot, in which we see Nathlar's arm stretching out of the dirt [Zombie Nathlar!! BRAINNSSSSS!!!], and when the body pulls itself up, it's clearly Sylar's face that we see.
All in all, a great episode. They focused on only a few characters, and even though they've done it before, it was very successful this time and better executed. Keep it up. The fans are pleased.
Glee - Season 1, Episode 6: "Vitamin D". I liked it. I actually watched this one with Mum, so there was a little chatter, pointing out actors ["Is that Orlando Bloom!?" "No -.-"], explaining plot details... but I liked it. I want to know how, exactly, Terry plans on faking labour when she gets Quinn's baby. That's the only thing that's been on my mind for a while, really. The performances... there wasn't so much singing this time, which bummed me out, but the guys' performance was GREAT. Speed or no speed. I'm not sure why I don't go into plot outlining here like I did for the other shows, but... Any way, it was great. Sorry, I'm sleepy.
Because of my trip home, I did get to watch my Thursday shows, but I never got a chance to write about them. Let me just tell you that Fringe was SO amazing, and Infomania and The Rotten Tomatoes Show weren't bad either.
