Desperate Housewives – A Spark. To Piece The Dark.

Bree: Steal what you must my love. But it won’t be my company.

The introduction was set up very well. Karl coming back was a bit of a surprise in a random kind of way. I cannot decide if he was entertaining or annoying and a waste of time. After the second piece of artwork that Karl’s son drew near the end of the episode, was it just me or did Karl completely evade confirming that his wife “just left?”

Based on the picture, it looks like he killed her. Gabby and Carlos as well as Bree and Orson having relationship issues was very well written. Orson is selfish and wrong for wanting Bree to give up everything – everything that she has worked for to be a housewife for him. Orson need not worry about what good Bree can do for him and worry about what good he can do for himself.

I cannot believe that Carlos tied Gabby up and left her there! Gabby was right to do what she had to do to get her husband’s attention. The scene at the office was great. Finally, Lucy left. Let’s hope that really was the last of her. Lynette’s conflict of work vs. family is getting repetitive. Let’s stop being so real and give us more Wisteria Lane drama. It was very entertaining to see Gabby and Tom together after the past 2 weeks of Gabby and Lynette together.

When Dave was talking to Katherine about being happy, I still do not know if he meant what he said or if he said what he said as part of his front. It works so well either way. Now Edie was not very intelligent, knowing what she knows about Dave and his unusual behavior in terms of not calling the cops or a few guys over to protect her in case Dave decided to get big once he came back. Edie is smart so that seemed a bit out of character. Although knowing that Nicolette is leaving the show (I am not saying for good because never say never) I will not analyze that to death. Nicolette rocked it tonight! I definitely enjoyed this episode.

There was nothing that really hit the roof like it seemed it would for the promo last week, but I still very much enjoyed it. I am excited for next week. I feel like I am ready for all of the story lines that are taking place right now to hurry up and end so more interesting story lines can take their place. I enjoy what I am watching but based on past seasons, I know that it can be better. So let’s get back to basics if need be so I can enjoy Desperate Housewives like I used to.

Chuck – Chuck vs. the Predator

General: I want everything you have on her and Bartowski.

The introduction was strong. This whole episode was. I love the writing on this show. The comedic timing is just brilliant. I cannot believe Jeff made his own office in a bathroom stall! I cannot believe that Jeff, Lester, and Morgan played around with Chuck’s laptop that Orion gave him. It was hilarious seeing Chuck and them trying to get the laptop back from Big Mike for business while Lester and them were trying to get it back for fun. Jeff trying to throw his voice made me laugh! I liked how Lester called Jeff, Jeffrey and Jefferson. It was so funny when Casey knocked out Emmett. Morgan hearing Big Mike and his mom was disturbing and funny.

I was surprised when the General said that she was coming directly and Chuck might have to leave back with her. The walk Did you notice “Geek Chic” when Big Mike and the staff were on their way to Burbank? Ha. I loved it. Sometimes people are so desperate for what they want that they cannot see the trap that they are walking into. Emmett ruining the entire Buy More Store in the Beverly Hills was cool to see. It was more than disappointing when Chuck was forced to trap Orion. There are fan theories that Orion is Chuck’s father and while that could very well be the case…that seems to easy in a sense. I don’t know, well see.

I was full of so many different emotions when the General herself invited Chuck to be a real spy. I wonder what will become of this. It seems as though I know the answer but I could always be surprised. It was great to see special guest, Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) in this episode.

Gossip Girl – The Grandfather

Blair: What happened to the Nate Archibald that just wanted to get high and play Halo?

Rufus’ ex telling Lily about her and Rufus was intended and I cannot believe the nerve that chic had. I do not know if lists ever really work or not, on TV or in real life so it was just awkward to see once again on a show. I was glad that Vanessa was encouraging Nate to go to his family reunion.

Even though Nate’s family was nowhere to be found when his parents were at rock bottom, my thought was that they may have seen what wrong they did. Fortunately, the Grandfather was proud of Nate for the way that he handled things which was good.

Unfortunately, Vanessa was introduced to a new world that neither she or I think Nate is ready to lead. Nate is right for wanting to take the mayor’s internship so that he has something to do while he figures out who he is and what he wants to do with his life but he can also take some time out in the summer to spend with Vanessa. It doesn’t look like the two have broken up officially and I have gotten used to the two together so I am actually rooting for them. On the other hand, I am always rooting for Nate and Blair. Seeing as how Nate & Blair ended this episode…Only time will tell what happens.

Carter and Blair getting together was a bit of a shock but even more shocking, Blair had absolutely no guilt over it with Chuck right there. She is so deep in hurt that she is pushing away the people that mean the most to her. I know what that feels like. Blair finally shoplifting was something I had been waiting to see since she first did so in the books. I do not remember if Blair got accepted to the college that she was begging for in this episode, or she had to beg in the books as well. I do know that it wasn’t interesting in this episode but her time in college was, so I cannot wait to see that translate on the screen.

When Blair & Chuck were alone together and Gossip Girl was talking about a game of bluff, Blair’s wardrobe was on point. Seeing Nate and Blair reminisce was such an aww moment. How funny was Dorota cursing Chuck out in her native language? I can only imagine that is what she was doing. Though this episode does not stand out among the rest, and there was nothing that was draw dropping, I still somewhat enjoyed this episode.

One Tree Hill – Searching for a Former Clarity

Dan: I’m getting a heart.
Lucas: It’s about time.

I love the way this episode was written. Everything about this episode was just right. I cannot believe the new principal really gave Haley an ultimatum of her job vs. free speech. Last time I checked it was the 21st century and America, so that new principal needs a reminder. Haley quit and now it is time to get her music going! I am so excited for what is next for Haley.

It was extremely big of Sam to take the fall for Jack. It just sucked how Brooke told her off and had absolutely no faith in her. She didn’t ask her what happened, just went straight to yelling at her. Thankfully, Brooke apologized for calling her unfixable. I never did love the Brooke and Julian relationship so to see that there are issues here…it was only a matter of time. Not for nothing but it seemed like it was set up to be doomed to fail.

How funny was Dan’s heart being eaten by a dog? Even though that wouldn’t happen in a real hospital, that was funny. It was equally funny as it was disappointing for Dan…or was it? How funny was that random guy saying, “Great day to be alive” to Dan? Man, I didn’t expect Dan to be a man and tell Jamie that he killed Keith. I laughed when Lucas told Jamie to ask Dan why people do bad things like kill people. It was hard hitting when Jamie said that Keith and Dan still loved each other and all that near the end for the Sims world. Having the reality of knowing that their father really is going to die soon hit Lucas and Nathan. Horrible father or not, Dan is their father. What Dan said to Lucas and Nathan was written so beautifully.

Lucas’s movie problems was disappointing because it was fun to see things come together. Although with news swirling around of Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton leaving the show, it does not surprise me. Skills’ storyline was not interesting until Skills said that maybe he and Deb should one day have kids of their own. No. I don’t think so. That is just weird. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with Skills being Lucas and Nathan’s friend. Thankfully, Deb broke up with him because, he does deserve more than that, I agree. Of all the people in the world to date. What a great episode. If you need to know the reasons why I love One Tree Hill, you can watch this episode.

Heroes – Chapter Seven: Cold Snap

Micah: Wait, you’re bait?
Tracy: I didn’t know that it was you.
Micah: It doesn’t matter who you thought it was. How could you do that to anybody? Thought there was a good chance they’d follow you. Just didn’t think that you would be in on it.

Bryan Fuller is back, yay! What a fantastic episode. I loved it. It all makes so much sense now that Matt Parkman the baby was his baby not Matt as a baby. It was so exciting to see Janice again! For a quick moment, I thought that the rebel was baby Matt once we saw his powers. My original assumption was Micah and I was right! I was over the moon when Micah showed up on the screen! Finally! It’s about time! Little Micah is growing up! His voice got deeper. Aww.

I was really hoping that Tracy would not lead HRG to Rebel because I was thinking that with the Rebel being Micah, it may not have been a good experience for Micah. Although Micah is very mature for his age and very smart so he was prepared. I am so excited that Micah is back on screen and I cannot wait to see him in the coming weeks.

Angela having her vision saved her for a hot minute and the anticipation of getting caught or not was great. When she was trapped in the elevator, I was so relieved that Peter saved her! Although I was very puzzled as to how he knew she was in there. Andy using his powers to save him, Hiro, and baby Matt was quite funny since he got knocked out right after his first attempt. I screamed at the top of my lungs when Hiro got his power back…apparently I got too excited too soon. Even though Hiro claims that time is on his side, that can also be a negative if there are any distractions.

It was so sad to see Tracy die. The effect of her tear streaming really did it for me. Although I was actually more sad when Daphne died. What Matt did for her was just the sweetest most incredible thing. I have nothing but good things to say about this episode and I am pumped for next week’s episode.

Samantha Who? – My Best Friend‘s Boyfriend

Samantha: Drama king huh? Snap!

Samantha Who? is finally back! It came back right where it left off with Andrea all strung over Tony. It was unexpected for Andrea to admit that the relationship with Tony was the best for her because of how they communicate. Who would have thought?

Finally, Todd admitted that he was interested in giving another try at his relationship with Sam. I am hoping that Todd does not dig himself in a hole with making himself unavailable. Todd still loves Sam and Sam still loves Todd so they need to get together. I just want to see them together and skip all of the in between. Although it is pretty realistic, so in that sense I appreciate how this storyline is written.

Lucky Todd tagged along to meet Andrea‘s date too. I wonder how long it would have taken Andrea and Sam to realize that Tony was gay. I wonder if Todd’s friend knew that Tony was gay and did not say anything. It was so wrong of Tony to say that Sam hit on him. What was the point of that? He could have laughed it off and left with Andrea.

Anyway, Andrea and Tony worked things out to their advantage so I guess that is all well and good. Dena and Regina’s storyline was not all that entertaining. This was a pretty decent episode. I expected more funny so hopefully it will be next week.

The Office – Two Weeks

Oscar: I love a good quitting story. It… makes me feel like I have control over my own life, gives me hope. Maybe I’ll have one of my own someday.

Oscar talking about how he loves a quitting story made me chuckle. It was funny when Michael said something about him not worrying about calories anymore when that has nothing to do with leaving Dunder Mifflin. It was so kind of Andy to give Michael wine as a going away gift but Michael was wrong to say that he already had wine. If Michael was actually a good leader, his idea to start his own paper company would be bright. I do not like how the new boss is treating Jim.

Kelly saying that she was tight with her sister like the Kardashians and then her and Angela fighting over the new boss was hilarious. I cannot believe that Kelly said Angela was turning 50. That made me laugh out loud.

I actually expected Dwight to want to be part of Michael’s paper company so I was a bit taken aback when he declined Michael’s offer. The scene where Michael was crawling around the office and almost threw down with Charles was awkward. The last thing that I expected was for Pam to want to go with Michael. It was funny seeing Angela and Kelly front and center for the meeting, head over heels for Charles.

The promo for next week looks insane. I wonder how long this Michael’s paper company storyline will last, why Kevin was picked for reception, and what is up with Ryan’s hair. I enjoyed this episode although it still felt more awkward than funny because of Michael’s behavior throughout.

Terminator: SCC – To the Lighthouse

John Henry: You never found Sarah Connor?
Ellison: No, I never did.

Okay, so I have to admit that while I have enjoyed this season, I have not loved this season. There is simply not enough action. I am not even an action type of person but when I watch Terminator, I expect to see that. When I do not see it for such long periods of time, I get bored. I was getting to the point where I become somewhat bored until the end of this episode. This is one of my favorite shows to watch so I do not want to be saying that I only loved the ending of an episode. Having watched what is to come this season with the promos shown at conventions, I know that there is so much to look forward to.

Right now, though, it is just good or great. I want to see amazing like earlier in the season and all last season. Getting to the episode itself… the close call with John Henry got me pumped. As for Derek, it must suck to find out from a terminator that your dead girlfriend was pregnant and lost the child. Hey, Charlie’s back! It was good to see him on the show. Even knowing about Sarah’s cancer from the beginning, seeing her discuss the issue with Charlie was still heartbreaking to see. Thankfully for now, it was not cancer but a transmitter. The transmitter in Sarah’s body was ridiculous. Thank God she figured it out!

There was some action at the end that I greatly appreciated but I am still yearning for more amazing Terminator so bring it! I am also curious as to how religion will continue to play into the show. Enough with dragging things out, bring the action up a notch and let’s get to what really matters now. We are past the filler episodes stage but something is just missing.
