My Thanksgiving

It's official. I married a saint. Not only did Mike make the entire Thanksgiving dinner himself, he did it while I micro-managed and nagged from the couch. And it was really good.

Lucky for him, I was mostly distracted while he cooked - I video-chatted with the family in PA for over 2 1/2 hours. That was a lot of fun. While we were chatting, I got to witness The Apple Pie From Hell - Mary made it. It looked hella good, I'm sorry I missed it.

Here's the complete dinner, along with a close-up of the awesome Gratin of Cauliflower with Gruyere.



What better way to digest your food than by watching Top Chef? My cast felt tighter - I guess the food went straight to my legs.


And because Mike finds it hysterical, here is the picture he took of me all Valiumed up in the ER Tuesday night.



And this is what we call my "old lady stool" - for showering.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I Am On Drugs

My knee got locked up last night. As in, just like 13 years ago, I was doing something totally random and in an instant was rendered a cripple. We went to the Emergency Room, and after a good drugging the doctor straightened it out. So now I'm in an immobilizer cast and on crutches. I can't see the orthopedic surgeon until Friday afternoon.

So Mike gets to cook Thanksgiving dinner, with me hobbling around trying to help. I don't know if I'm in the mood for turkey though - I'm rather liking my diet of Valium and Percocet.

So what's Mark Wahlberg's excuse? Was he all drugged up too? Public urination in broad daylight? Really?

That's hot.

Fringe

Freak of the Week: Man gets scratched up by a swarm of dive-bombing butterflies while in an office. So much so that he throws himself through the office window and dies. Not making that up.

Olivia's talking to her dead boyfriend again, this time through email. He leads her to a basement - where there are a bunch of toads in Rubbermaid bins. Not making that up either.

Somehow, due to the toads, Walter concludes that the dead guy was given a drug and hallucinated getting attacked to the point where the injuries manifested on his body.

Olivia tells Walter she's seeing the dead boyfriend again, and he says what she's really doing is accessing the dead boyfriend's memories from when they shared a brain. Time to go back in The Tank to try to clear out those repressed memories!

The memories lead them to the truth. Which is just more shadiness by the very shady company Massive Dynamic.

Walter's Food Obsession of the Week: Coffee yogurt. It's always something with this man.

Walter's Quirk of the Week: "Uh-oh. I just got an erection." OH WALTER I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

Prison Break

The Big Bad arrives in the basement. In an elevator. Well, The Gang didn't need to do all that digging, did they? They could have just taken the freaking elevator!!! I'm sure they could've devised a system for breaking into an elevator that would have been easier - and less deadly. RIP Bellick.

The Gang gets what they want from the basement (I guess) and takes the Big Bad hostage while they try to think of a way out of the building. Because now it's all under heavily-guarded lockdown. Across town, Sara takes his daughter hostage, and tells him to let The Gang go or she dies. Sara ain't messin' around. She was totally badass holding a gun on that chick!!

After weeks of trying to be all secretive in T-Bag's office, Gretchen goes all Commando on the place, holding everyone at gun point. T-Bag's secretary, who's really an agent, busts up the party and nabs T-Bag.

The Gang gets out and gives the computer thingy to Michael Rapaport. Oh, so the show's over, yes? Mission accomplished?

After some "it's all over" celebrating, which is of course a sure sign that it's NOT over, Rapaport kills his partner in front of T-Bag. And the Papers of Freedom he gave to the Gang - blank! Sorry guys, it's not over yet.

Heroes: Another Eclipse?

How often do freaking eclipses happen? I thought they were rare. But I guess so are superpowers, so I'll let it slide.

Arthur sends Gabriel and Elle on a mission to bring Claire back to Pinehearst. Angela sends Claire off with Bennet to hide. He takes the father-daughter time and spends it training her to fight. Or, more specifically, whacking wood around like a baseball bat.

Nathan and Peter fly to Haiti to get... well, The Haitian.

Mohinder is becoming even more of The Fly as the eclipse nears, and he thinks the eclipse will take away powers from the Heroes.

The eclipse does indeed take away their powers - Nathan and Peter fall out of the sky (and luckily into a body of water); Mohinder is all cocooned onto a wall and comes out healed up; Elle and Gabriel have no powers when they find Claire and Bennet; and Claire can't heal when she's shot by Elle.

Now that Mohinder's all healed, he decides to make a booty call, and looks up Maya's location. But Arthur needs him to stay and try to figure out what's going on with the power outages. Heh. Power outages.

Hiro and Ando end up in a comic book store run by Seth Green With A Beard and Breckin Meyer.

Daphne and Matt are in her hometown, where there is a lot of corn. And since her powers have been taken away, she's all crippled.

Sylar and Elle kiss, and Bennet has them in his freaking rocket launcher sights.

To Be Continued.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

David Silver finds out that his girlfriend came back from the future to get rid of Cameron. Because in the future, John is taking Cameron's counsel or something and killing good people.

The girlfriend is working with Riley, John's little girlfriend. I knew something was up with Riley when I saw her bedroom. What kind of teenage girl has posters of Yosemite and a bear catching a salmon on her wall? Honestly. Where were the My Chemical Romance and Twilight posters? Riley is a weirdo. And I guess she's from the future too.

The rest of the show was computer chip/AI nonsense. Shirley Manson Terminator's AI has a name - John Henry - and it may have killed the psychiatrist who was working with it. The AI has no morals. Well, duh. It's a computer.

But things got creepy at the end when they hooked up John Henry to the Bad Terminator - and now he talks and interprets what John Henry says. Creepy!

JACK IS BACK AT LAST!

I was afraid this was going to be like a TV Movie About Africa starring Kiefer Sutherland, and not like 24. But it was in real-time! And with loads of obvious product placement! Awesome! I really liked it, it worked as a self-contained movie.

The sound effect of the "24" coming up on the screen GIVES ME SHIVERS!!!! Oh how I missed it, it has been too long!!

Nice that even in Sengala, Jack has a Messenger Bag of Death. Because even if you're doing missionary work at a school, if your name is Jack Bauer, chances are you might need it.

Jack is served a subpoena - he's finally going to be held accountable for his years of torturing people and cutting off their heads, it seems.

There's a poorly timed coup coming in Sengala, due during the Inauguration of the first female President. The separatist group or whatever it is kidnaps some kids from the Jack Bauer Kickass School for Kicking Ass, in order to make them soldiers. BIG MISTAKE!

When they come to take the rest of the kids from the school, Jack goes into action. Good thing he's got some dynamite and a couple guns. Which of course are a match for a bunch of guys with machine guns and a freaking rocket launcher. For a while anyway, until they capture him. But you can't torture Jack to get the location of the kids, no you can't. Even if you burn his ear with a red-hot machete.

Jack snaps the leader's neck with his legs and escapes, with the help of his coworker/Special Ops buddy. They load up the kids and head for the Embassy. In the process, they are of course met with many obstacles - including Jack's buddy stepping on a landmine. Bye bye Jack's buddy. You should have known that being Jack's friend would mean you would eventually make the ultimate sacrifice.

They make it to the Embassy, but of course Jack has to turn himself in to the American government in order to save the children.

This movie also gave us the usual 24 villains, which are more like the usual 24 slimy douchebags. Soon-to-be-ex-President Noah Daniels - once a douchebag, always a douchebag. And the weasely United Nations guy down in Africa, who hides like a pussy, tries to run away, and then when he's captured he gives up the location of Jack and the kids.

Jon Voight was the Big Bad, who financed this coup I guess, or provided them with weapons. His details were sketchy, and I think he's carrying over into the new season, along with this female President, whom I really liked.

Apropos of nothing, I really fell in love with that one guy's place. The doomed druggie finance guy. He had the greatest steel gray walls and doors, brick walls, hardwood floors, cool furniture. I WANT IT!

BRING ON JANUARY 11TH AND BRING ON TONY ALMEIDA!!!

Child Named After Jungle Book Character

So this is my guilty pleasure celebrity couple, still. But this name? Oh Em Gee. That's just begging for the kid to get his ass kicked. Good thing his dad wears eyeliner.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and husband Pete Wentz welcomed a son Thursday night, PEOPLE confirms.

Bronx Mowgli Wentz weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long.

"Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" a spokesperson tells PEOPLE.

Bummer of the Effing Week

Boo. Pushing Daisies is the freaking feel-good television show of the millennium. I love it so much.

The only bright spot here is Fuller probably will return to Heroes. But still. I'd rather have Pushing Daisies on the air. That show is so damn lovable. RATS!

Quality television took a serious hit this evening with news that ABC has opted not to order additional episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money for this season. The network isn't commenting, but multiple sources confirm that all three shows have "effectively been canceled."

The one bright spot: The ratings-challenged trio will complete production on their 13-episode orders. Of course, completing the episodes and actually airing them are two totally different things.

"It's all true," Daisies creator Bryan Fuller tells me. "I'm so very proud of this show and grateful for everyone's hard work in bringing it to life."

Fringe

Freak of the Week: Kidnapped kid. Weird, hypnotizing lights.

His kidnapper wants him to finish a piece of music that he has been obsessing over. This is some kind of key to something. The boy's "dead" mom makes an appearance to encourage him, and when he can't finish the piece, she starts dying again - like her face cuts open and bruises and bleeds everywhere and stuff. Crazy. Turns out it was all in the kid's head, as the kidnappers were working some crazy mind control stuff on the kid to get him to finish the piece.

Walter has to go back to the mental institution in order to get some information from a patient. I thought he was going to make out with him at one point. He was very cuddly afterward - definitely in need of a hug. I. Love. That. Man.

At least his trip back inside wasn't for nothing, as information he got from the guy led to finding the boy.

Walter's Quirk of the Week: Singing Christmas carols.

SHOUT OUT TO BOBBY Z!!! I saw your picture on that "previous victim" file folder, yo! Awesome!

Prison Break

Oh Sucre, your drill is soooo big.

That's literally all I typed during this episode. There was a botched attempt to get the card, more oops-T-Bag-almost-got-caught malarkey, and loads of drilling to get to... whatever it is they're trying to get. I still don't know!!!

Why am I watching? Mahone is awesome, it's something to watch, and Lincoln's tattooed arms. In that order, and all-inclusive.

Heroes

So somehow, when Arthur caught up to Hiro in Africa, he made Hiro think he's 10. And how is this different from adult Hiro? Ando tells him about his ability, and works with Hiro to access it.

Arthur tells Gabriel that he can take powers without killing, by accessing his empathy or something. He puts Gabriel in a room with Elle. She's a little pissed because he killed her father. Lucky for him, he can regenerate after she electrocutes his ass several times. Gabriel tells him it wasn't him fault - it was the hunger, and he's working to control it. She's pretty relentless, electrocuting him til she's exhausted and he's shirtless.

While discussing forgiveness, he takes her power without killing her. She still has her power too and they bond over experimenting with it. They're falling in looooove. How romantic, especially after he killed her father and everything. Oh well, it wasn't his fault. It was the hunger. I'd forgive his shirtless ass too.

Mohinder's experimenting on people, giving them powers. And they're turning into gross, weird scaly creatures. Hey Mohinder - you still have a little something on your neck yourself, buddy.

Matt finds Angela in her coma and decides to go on a trip inside her mind. He gets stabbed by Daphne in the dream state and bleeds in real life too. What is this, Nightmare on Elm Street? Add it to the list of things Heroes rips off. So there's all this weird dream activity and during it Daphne and Matt fall in love and Angela gets Arthur to release her from the coma. Don't ask me how, I can't explain any of this stuff.

They're setting up sides - and Claire's some kind of catalyst for the formula. That's as deep as I can get. I'm still distracted by Gabriel's shirtlessness.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

David Silver's girlfriend runs into a man from the future who works with the machines, and proceeds to tie him up and slap him around. He claims he's not who she thinks he is. He's just a simple watchmaker. Sure. That's what Sylar says too. David Silver works some really nice pulling-out-the-fingernails torture! WOOHOO! The guy caves.

David's girlfriend tells him that in the future he is held captive and tortured by this man. She ends up shooting the guy. David Silver can't remember being held at all. He's thinking that their actions in the present are changing the future and maybe he's from a future where it didn't happen and she's from one where it did. My eyes go crossed at that point.

Cameron and John drive to Mexico to properly dispose of the Bad Terminator's body. Surprise - he's not in his grave. It turns out FBI Guy has it, and has brought it in for Shirley Manson Terminator to take a gander at.

And Sarah's no good to anyone, all sick and having weird dreams about babies and tortoises and cacti and 3 spots. How did Sarah Connor become the most boring person on this show? That's supposed to be John.

Timberlake Is The Man

Here's Justin Timberlake doing Saturday Night Live in 2 minutes. He really is hysterical, dammit.

Quantum of Solace: I Still Don't Know What That Means

What to say about Quantum of Solace?

It was good. But not anywhere near as good as Casino Royale. I totally got over my dislike of Daniel Craig in the first one. In this one, not so much. He really didn't appeal to me here. There was the requisite car chase, the requisite acrobatic stunts (though nowhere near as good as that opening sequence in Casino Royale), and the requisite sex. But like barely any sex and totally "what was the point of that?" sex.

Suits, cars, guns - all good things. But it just wasn't as fun as it should have been.

Justin Timberlake Is a Comedy God

And it wasn't just this - it was a "SNL in 60 seconds" thing he did too. I can't find that yet.

B&C Skeleton of the Week

Wow, that Madonna sure is an ageless beauty. Look at those arms! That chest! That glowing reflective skin!

Star Trek Trailer

Watch the Star Trek trailer quickly - before it's pulled from You Tube!

It looks really really really really good!

Top Chef

Top Chef is in New York City this season.

Does every contestant have sleeve tattoos? The cool chick and the Filipino do anyway. We also get an Indian chick, a couple Europeans, a couple bald dudes, a freakishly tall chick, and only 2 gay dudes. Too many people to keep track of in the beginning, as ever.

Quickfire Challenge: It's a food prep relay! I love those!!

1. Peel 15 apples with a paring knife. The one dude practically cuts his finger off it's bleeding so much. How did he qualify when there was blood all over those apples!? You couldn't effing serve them if you were peeling them for a restaurant!

2. Brunoise the apples (really really perfect dicing for the layman).

3. Make something with the apples.

Loser: Some chick that Mike totally predicted would go, based solely on her introductory piece. Hahaha!

Elimination Challenge: Dishes based on an assigned NYC neighborhood.

Winner: The German Swiss dude.

Bye-bye: The gay guy, which again Mike totally called early on.

Mike: The Top Chef Psychic.

Oh Happy Day

The full trailer for Watchmen has been released. Loads of new stuff and some actual dialogue!!

The trailer for Star Trek comes out tomorrow.

Fringe

An FBI agent goes to the hospital, having suffered a heart attack. Naturally, this leads to the use of a bone saw and a rib spreader. I hate this show. But what's that wrapped around his heart? Some kind of parasite that looks like a Venus Fly Trap plant. I love this show.

A key witness they need is killed by the FBI. So what do they do? Hook his dead brain up to Pacey's brain and let them talk to each other. Of course! I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Plus there was an uber-creepy German dude who told them how to kill the parasite. Bonus.

I still want to weep with love for Walter when he repeatedly asks for gum or mints. WHY DOES THAT NEVER GET OLD!?

Prison Break

Back to digging. And tracking down the architect of the building. And passing out from tumors. Worst. Collapse. Ever.

Bellick was not a nice guy, OK Sucre? I know the writers want you to feel bad for him, but all I can remember is how he set Tweener up to be raped in the first season. And killed a cat. He was a bastard. Jesus, even T-Bag gets teary thinking about him!

I don't care about this architect, nor his wife, who for some reason helps Mahone by giving him a key for the map. I don't care that T-Bag's secretary has been working for Homeland Security all along. I don't even care that Michael has a tumor and needs immediate surgery.

I. Don't. Care. Period.

News Flash: Old Sperm Makes Cute Kids

So this kid is cute, right? Like hot enough to be the next Ron Weasley?

Well, guess who - it's Cannon King, Larry King's son. Oh barf! How did he make such a cute kid?

Heroes: A Look Back, or How To Retcon

Another look back in time, courtesy of Hiro's African drug-induced spirit walk.

One year ago...

Arthur Petrelli was Father of the Year, telling Linderman he'll kill Nathan if he has to. He's the one who ordered that Nathan's car be run off the road. Going back in time sucks because they have to use the Emo Wig for Peter. Peter's real Emo Hair was soooo much better.

Angela poisons Arthur, setting him up for his coma and faux-heart-attack. Those Petrelli parents sure are great.

Meredith was working with Flint (they're brother and sister), robbing stores. Eric Roberts is back (woot!) and captures Meredith to make her an agent. But they've also imprisoned her brother, so Meredith springs him and they flee The Company.

Gabriel was in his watch shop making himself a noose to hang himself. WTF!? He is saved by Elle, who was sent to meet him by Bennet. So The Company knows about Sylar but just lets it happen. Something about needing to see how he kills "in the wild."

Gabriel and Elle start falling for each other, and he's thinking maybe he can control his burning need to be special, like a recovering addict. Until she brings over a dude with powers for him to kill. That's just too tempting for Gabriel/Sylar, who kills the dude's emo ass, while Elle and Bennet watch from the van outside.

Back to Present Day...

African dude was beheaded!!!!!!!! Gross. By Arthur, who shows up and attacks Hiro.

I didn't like all the looks back at Season 1, because it only made me long for the beauty of Season 1 even more.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

This episode had a cool way of telling the story through each character's perspective. Scenes would overlap and then go in different directions following one of the characters when they split off.

John's off gallivanting with his gf Riley, taking a bus down to Mexico. And now I want Mexican food. They get thrown in prison for a bar fight, and then proceed to break out. Rather than wait for David Silver to come get them.

Terminator dude arrives at the Connor house and drags Sarah around, kidnapping her. When we see Sarah's perspective of events, it's just her in the trunk of the car while there's all kinds of shootouts and chases going on outside. Turns out all that is taking place at the prison, where the Terminator has come to find John, and so has Agent Ellison.

The good guys corner the Terminator in a church and shoot him the eff up. They bury the body and destroy his brain chip thing. Or, more precisely, Sarah goes medieval on the chip's ass.

Mmmmm... Spock

I Hate Phil Simms

If he mispronounces one more word I am going to throw my television out of the window.

And how funny was it early in the game when he told a story and Jim Nantz told the same story one second later? BOTCHED LISTENING! Even Nantzy can't listen to him speak.

RW/RR: The Island: The Reunion

Reunions are great because the girls look even more whorish than usual. Christ, Ev, you have NEVER done your hair like that EVER, why start now? She looks hot though. It's amazing what volume, probably some extensions, and some makeup can do.

Jenn's eyebrows are so horrible. They are perfect half-circles. That's WRONG.

Paula's still butthurt about not being picked for the guys' boat. She's like hiccup-crying over it. Still.

Kellyanne cracks me up with that "gangsta" pose she adopts as she yells. She's psychotic. And now she's dating Wes? Jesus, Wes gets way more high-quality ass than he deserves.

It was the usual reunion with the usual yelling about the usual faux-drama.

Today's Theme: Elizabeth Banks Comedies

Happily, I can highly recommend the two movies I saw today.

Zack & Miri Make a Porno is a pretty typical Kevin Smith film. Vulgar, hysterical. Then it gets a little weird when things get "serious". Whenever that part comes up I'm always like, "OK, come on, back to the balls please." And luckily, he always goes back to the balls. I also oddly loved the production values in the movie - it really made you feel like you were poor and in Pittsburgh in the middle of winter. Not glamorous in the least.

There were a couple "shocking" moments, though honestly I didn't find them too shocking, I just found them funny. Surprise, right?

Even though the "serious" maybe-they're-falling-in-love bits are a little cringe-worthy, the movie is funny enough to make them worth it.


I'm so glad Role Models was funny. I remember first seeing the trailer and fearing it was going to be a warm-hearted, feel-good film. And I was like, What are Stifler and Paul Rudd doing in this movie? Then I found out it was Rated R. Oh thank god!

It's still cute, but not at all cutesy. Bobb'e J. Thompson is a god among child actors, truly. He's funny and curses up a storm and I just want to smack and then hug that kid. And I love Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott in anything they do - they were great here.

B&C Hot Chick of the Week

I have no updates.

So have some Scarlett Johnansson, because she's hot. Ogle the ring. Covet the shoes. She looks like perfection in this picture!!

VOTE!

Prison Break

The Gang has the Big Black Assassin and Linc's beating the crap out of him. With Mahone semi-patiently waiting for his turn.

The Gang heads to the office building to find whatever it is they're trying to find in the basement. They start digging. Oh, not digging again. Good lord, every season there's digging. "Can you dig it?" That makes me miss C-Note.

Once they get what they need from the Assassin, Mahone gets him. And he brings a defibrillator with him. The Assassin killed his son and the Assassin is GONNA GET IT!!!!! He doesn't disappoint - there are needles placed through fingertips, loads of whispered threats, electric shocks, and agonizing pain. I LOVE IT!

Mahone makes the Assassin apologize to his wife. Nice touch. Then he handcuffs the Assassin to a cinder block and tosses him into the ocean. NICE!

Gretchen shows up to the Bald Bad Guy's office and I'm like, "He's her father, isn't he?" No, because they start kissing. Gross.

Quote of the Night: "We're goin' together, like traffic and weather." - T-Bag

R.I.P.: Bellick. He sacrificed himself so that the boys could successfully tunnel through a water pipe. Aw, poor Brad. He was a slimy bastard, but was more sympathetic lately. Which only meant he was marked for death. But on this show? You never know.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The Connors got their stuff stolen. Really - that was the plot.

John was grocery shopping, the Terminator Dude was hunting them down, and Sarah and David Silver were looking for their stolen stuff. Really.

Need. More. Guns. Cameron killed a couple dudes, but still. MORE!

Funniest. Thing. Ever.

Little Bill O'Reilly is BRILLIANT!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Enjoy it!

RW/RR: The Island

The finale! Yay! What a lovely surprise.

Dan - who was in the freaking military, right? and appears to be in good shape - drops out of the Face-Off almost instantaneously. That's what alcohol will do to you I guess.

Winner: Ev. Duh. Johnny kisses her ass and apologizes.

Bye bye: Dan, Johanna, and Kellyanne, because they lost the Face-Off. Ev takes Dunbar's key. Well, that was semi-exciting, mostly because the crappy editing job on that weird, cut-up, rambling speech made it look like Ev was taking Johnny's.

They have to quickly make two teams for the boats. The dudes quickly ditch Paula.

1. Kenny, Ev, Derrick, and Johnny.
2. Robin, Paula, Ryan, and Jenn. And Dunbar ends up helping them finish the boat, out of spite for the other team. Good one, Dunbar. I don't know who you are, or why you have that retarded name, but you're cool for that.

Geez, it's not too slanted, is it? LOL the gay dude is with the girls and the lesbian is with the guys. And the outcome is clear. The Dudes' Team wins. Paula's bitter, but I'm not sure what she expected. Of course they sold her up the river. They don't care about her!

B&C Baby of the Week

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale may have a weird name, but he's really effing cute.

Can We Just Vote Already!?

As always, The Daily Show sums up exactly what I'm thinking. Can we just end it already!?

New 24 Trailer

Here's a link to the new 24 Season 7 trailer. Perfect for Halloween, as it says, "It's time to raise the dead." We get lots of Jack in sunglasses, a brief glimpse of Bill Buchanan (!), some Chloe, and a Jack/Tony fight. Is it January yet!?

Heroes

Arthur tells Peter his abilities are gone forever. Being The Most Powerful didn't last long for Peter, did it? I love Arthur and his Chicago accent, but damn he has all the powers. Not fair.

Mohinder The Fly takes off - literally. Grabs Maya and flies out of his lab, taking her to Pinehearst. Where Arthur sucks Maya's ability right out of her. Problem: solved. Maya leaves. Like really, really leaves? Do you promise!? BYE!!!!

Arthur asks Mohinder to work with him on the formula so that Mohinder can keep his new powers, but get rid of those nasty Fly side effects. In order to do this, Mohinder needs to experiment on people. Lab Rat No. 1: Peter. But Sylar shows up and BAM! Saves Peter! But then Mohinder jumps on Sylar, bashing his head into the floor and generally going ape-S. Arthur stops him, telling him Sylar's his son.

Claire and her mom come home to find Elle. Elle has lost control of her powers and is shorting out the joint. Mini cat fight! They both have Pinehearst business cards and decide to go there together to see if they can fix their problems. Elle and Claire are my new favorite lesbian couple. They're so cute together.

Arthur sends Daphne to kill Matt, after he kills Matt's dad. But she can't possibly kill him, what with all his creepy we-get-married-in-the-future talk. Knox shows up to check on them, and Matt makes Knox believe that he's killed them. He can make illusions? Oh yeah I guess his dad could.

Arthur tells Gabriel that Angela tried to drown him in the bathtub when he was born because she had a vision of what he'd become. Jesus. Mother of the Year that Angela Petrelli is. So now Gabriel is on Arthur's side. Only he might not be - because when he threw Peter out of a window, he used his ability to slow him down and break his fall.

African Dude tells Hiro he has to go back in time to prevent certain things from taking place. But he hates going back in time, because it never works out. So instead he does that Vision thing that Matt did.

Line of the Night: Bennet, when asked what Mohinder was doing. "Building a nest, laying eggs, who knows?"

Two weeks until the next episode - where we get a look at the past. Again.

Watchmen Trailer

Also available in HD. You can totally see Dr. Manhattan's junk!!! Not that I paused it or anything....

Funniest Baby Ever!

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett welcomed their son Archie Arnett on Saturday in New York City.

Damn, she didn't make it until after the election. But at least she made it through all of those Thursday editions of Weekend Update!

Oh. My. God. I HATE HATE HATE the new format of Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins. I love Paul, I do. But the host format sucks so hard for this show. I miss all my little guys and their little comments. Damn.

I'm Going To Vote Early, I Swear!

My friend Natalie sent me this glimpse of the future - apparently if I don't vote I'll be responsible for a McCain win. There's early voting in Florida, so I'm going to try to vote tomorrow!

Because I don't need "Jennifer = Loser" graffiti!

RW/RR: The Island

Poor Ev has no friends, unless you count that little bug she was petting. Ew.

Colie's still here!? Has she done anything all season? And now she's expecting to just sit back and get a key. Haha. This does not sit well with Johnny, the Bully of this season. Do you know how much I wish someone like Coral were there to smack Johnny down a few pegs? He really is a giant dick.

I love Paula: "I'm not anti-girl, I'm anti-stupid." The others girls all want to build a boat, but Paula wants the guys to take care of it. That's my kind of girl - lie back and let the men do all the work.

Face Off: Colie, Johanna, and Ryan. It's an endurance competition.

Winner: Ryan. He takes KellyAnne's key.

Bye-bye: Colie. She asked the jury to send her home. I didn't really follow the reasons behind that, but she was pretty much going to be sent home anyway. So maybe that's why she did it.

Only one Face Off left, and the four people without keys have to be in it. So someone with a key will definitely lose it next week.

B&C Flub of the Week

No, you were right the first time, McCain - Pennsylvania sucks.

Fringe

A woman is dumped out of a car, hangs out in a diner, and makes everyone's eyeballs bleed, including her own - until her head explodes all over the glass door. I love this show!!

I love that Walter refers to that chick's body as "the headless one." THIS IS THE GROSSEST SHOW ON TELEVISION BECAUSE THEY TOTALLY SHOWED THE HEADLESS BODY WHILE THEY EXAMINED IT!!!!! PUKE!!

Other than that, another good story about people being experimented on. We find out some stuff about Olivia's abusive-stepfather-she-shot.

Walter's Craving of the Week: Cotton candy. Blue, not pink. I love Walter!!

Moment Where I Wept: Pacey tells his dad to remember that Pacey's toothbrush is red. "White for Walter. That's me." I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE THIS MAN!

Three whole weeks til the next new episode.

Michael drops the news on Sara that Gretchen's alive. Alive and joining up with the team because they need information that she and T-Bag have. Sara no likey Gretchen, because Gretchen tortured her ass and fake-decapitated her.

The Asian Guy's grounded because he lost the device in the casino. He texts the Big Black Assassin, asking how much he wants for Michael and Lincoln. The answer: a cool million.

This week's plan involved crashing into the Bad Bald Guy's limo, pulling him out, getting his card, etc. The whole thing goes pear-shaped when the Asian Guy rats them out. Sucre is shot, but Dr. Sara performs some icky surgery and saves him.

Gretchen offers Sara a cease-fire - and the chance to whip her like she had whipped Sara. Hot. Instead, Sara just lets her know she's pissed that Gretchen killed a guard who helped her escape. And that she will have her VENGEANCE!

The Assassin treats the Asian Guy the way any rat should be treated - he backs out on his end of the deal and shoots him in the knees. And the gut. The Gang shows up and Mahone beats the living crap out of the Assassin. Go Mahone! And R.I.P. Asian Guy.

Heroes

Last week, Hiro "killed" Ando, but of course it didn't actually happen. We find out that he staged it with a fake sword and fake blood, so he could infiltrate Knox and Daphne's little evil alliance thing. Thank goodness. Daphne gives Hiro his assignment: go to Africa and get that painter dude.

Daphne's next assignment is Matt. Or maybe his turtle. Because Matt and his turtle are in the airport. They meet up and she tells him about the company she works for, how she wants to recruit him. He tells her about the vision he had about them being married. She finds it "stalky" - good for her, it's creepy.

Claire goes off to find Meredith, who's with the puppet master dude, and Sandra goes with her. "One of us, one of them," Sandra says. Oh how sweet. Darling, go back to making cupcakes and raising show dogs, this can't end well for you. The Puppet Master has the greatest, creepiest power ever!!!!

He's got Meredith under his spell and then he gets Sandra. And Claire. Great job, ladies, you really stuck it to the bad guys. Russian Roulette time!! It happens predictably - the bullet hits Claire, she "dies", the Puppet Master's hold is released, and then she regenerates and knocks him out. Bennet comes to pick up the Puppet Master and asks Meredith for her help.

Knox takes Adam to see Papa Petrelli, still lying in bed all hooked up to machines. Arthur latches on to Adam's hand and freaking sucks the life force out of him or something!!! WHAT!? ADAM IS DEAD!? He has to be, he turned into a skeleton and crumbled to the ground. There ain't no coming back from that S. And now Arthur is alive and well and off to kick some Petrelli Family ass.

I'm pretty bitter, because I thought Adam was cool as S and had all kinds of potential, considering he was a funny little 400-year-old bastard with a big Company history. Oh well, I guess they're finally cleaning house on this show. But why did it have to be Adam!!??

Daphne shows up in Sylar's cell to spring him. He won't go because he wants to be good now, but she leaves her card - for the new Company, Pinehearst. Sylar goes to see Peter and frees him from his drug-induced coma, telling him their mother is in trouble, and he thinks he found a way to control the hunger. If he can control it, then Peter can. And they can just be two hotass superpowered brothers, without that pesky hunger to murder.

Angela's in a coma and Sylar asks Peter to look inside her head to figure out what's wrong. All Peter sees is a symbol, the logo for Pinehearst. Sylar and Peter have a superpowered fight, and Peter ends up winning, putting Sylar into a drug-induced coma and taking off to go to Pinehearst.

Nathan and Tracy show up at Scaly!Mohinder's lab/loft. They fill him in on how Dr. Zimmerman created her and the other Ali Larters, and how Nathan was given his power as well. He says he can help them, try to figure out how it was done, how to take it away. So he injects them, saying he's marking their DNA - but instead they both pass out. Oh Mohinder, you murdering bastard you.

Daphne shows up to Mohinder's. She says Pinehearst has already figured out how to give people abilities, and that they need to help each other. She passes along her card, and then finds Nathan and Tracy being held in that room full of spiderweb cocoon things. She runs off, presumably to tell someone and try to get some help for them. Otherwise that's just rude.

Tracy uses her freezing power to break out of her restraints and free Nathan, but Mohinder catches them.

Peter's a little shocked to see his dead daddy alive. Daddy hugs him -- and takes away his abilities. And absorbs them for himself. So now Peter is powerless and Arthur is the most powerful person on the show. This Petrelli Family is really effed up.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The show recently got a full season pick up so yay for more Terminator.

This week was Family Psychology Week. John talks to a counselor and so does the Shirley Manson Terminator's daughter. She's weirded out by her, because kids can sense when their mothers have turned into liquid-metal Terminators, duh. And liquid-metal Terminators make really really bad, emotionally distant mothers.

David Silver's girlfriend in the future has been sent back to this time, and he sees her in the park and catches up to her. She's gone AWOL from the war, and is just kickin' it in a hotel, chillin' in the past. Must be nice. Of course this does not turn David Silver on. David Silver does not like a coward. But then he comes back later, and he does. Cuz, let's face it, David Silver NEEDS TO GET LAID!

We get a new freaky Terminator chick in the mix, as one pops in from the future. And this one has really bad hair. She's come to kill the psychologist. She and Cameron meet up and beat the crap out of each other. A crazy, weird acrobatic fight that ends with the other chick all folded up, the heel of her boot stuck in her eye. Gross!

In the end, Shirley Manson offers the psychologist a job - to help her "raise" the AI she's making, since it's like a child.

RW/RR: The Island

Finally watched last week's episode of The Island. That's how fascinating and important this thing is in my life right now.

Blah blah Dan and Robin are freaking lunatic alcoholics. Robin tells people they didn't screw because he went limp. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA And now she's "dead to him" - LOL! You know it's bad when Derrick - DERRICK - thinks you're drinking too much and need to be controlled.

Blah Blah Johnny and Ev hate each other.

Face Off: Cohutta (WTF is that name, honestly?), Johnny, and Derrick (who is going in to help Johnny, secretly). The Face Off doesn't lend itself to Derrick being able to help Johnny - it's more of an individual event.

Winner: Johnny. He takes his key back from Ev.

Bye-bye: Cohutta, your lame ass, your lame accent, and your lame name.

Mark Wahlberg Makes It Up To Me

Mark, I hated your movie. In fact, I hated your last two movies. But that's OK, I still like you.

I posted the brilliant Mark Wahlberg impression Andy Samberg did two weeks ago. Then Mark was in the press and on talk shows bitching about it, saying he didn't think it was funny and that he wanted to punch Andy in the face. But I'll bet that was all just set-up for this week, because he came on Saturday Night Live and it was hysterical!

Max Payne Angers Me

I know what you're thinking. "You saw Max Payne? But doesn't it have like a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes? I thought it was your policy not to see anything rated less than 69%!?"

STFU. You're right, of course. But sometimes I make exceptions. Like when I figure it's the kind of movie critics won't like, but I'll still enjoy the mindless fun.

I did not, in fact, enjoy the mindless "fun" that is Max Payne. I went into this movie loving the trailers and the clips I had seen at Comic-Con. And expecting massive amounts of gun porn. Well, apparently I had seen all the good clips - and all the gun porn clips. BECAUSE THIS WAS NO GUN PORN!!!

OK, fine. You're entitled to wrap plot around a gun porn movie. Absolutely. But not boring plot!! I literally was struggling to keep my eyes open. The set-up was taking way too long. And then the payoff's not even good.

Ugh. This movie is a lot like Hitman - you think it's going to be gloriously stylized violence and it isn't. It gives you blue balls.

Push Trailer

Here's the trailer for Push, which I got a bit excited about during Comic-Con. It's essentially Heroes, but with better special effects. Ironic, since Heroes rips everything else off. I still think it looks money. Then again, I still plan on seeing Max Payne this weekend....

Project Runway: Finale Part 2

I read today that Bravo is basically sabotaging Project Runway on purpose because of that whole lawsuit nonsense. They didn't have a reunion show (does this mean we don't get one at all!?) and they scheduled the finale opposite the final Presidential debate. Whatever, like it makes a difference. Do the gays even watch the debates? I'll just get my soundbites from The Daily Show, as usual. I wasn't gonna miss my finale!

Kenley is her usual whiny, valley girl voiced, bitchy self as Tim critiques her collection. Gotta love the girl's consistency!!

Leanne drinks Coke Zero. I'm gonna stop drinking it now. It makes you plain-looking, if not downright butt-ugly, and that's the last thing I need. Diet Coke makes you hot!

Korto decides to make two new looks for her collection. Is she crazy!?

OH CRAP! As Kenley's blowdrying her hair in the morning, and she doesn't have her red lipstick on, she looks HOLY HOT! Now I have the need to see her without makeup, with her hair all blown out and sexy, maybe some black fingernails. Rawr.

You know I just figured out who Kenley reminds me of - Snow White. And tonight she wears red, blue, and white and REALLY reminds me of Snow White.

Tim's the Guest Judge, since Jennifer Lopez dropped out at the last minute due to a "foot injury" (but then she did a triathlon a couple days later - oh J Lo, how you disappoint me).

Kenley: I loved hers! It's not the Kool-Aid talking! That one cream dress with the painted flowers down the middle - brilliant gorgeousness!! The dress that was the bridesmaids dress looked out of place though. I thought everything looked really great in motion on the runway too. It was fun!! GO KENLEY!!

Korto: I liked the pants outfit and the short yellow/print dress the best. The new one-shouldered dress she designed was amazing too. The whole collection was really cohesive.

Leanne: The wave collection. Which I thought would get old, and it did. I don't like the cream color and I only like the waves on the skirts, not on the tops. The waves remind me of a car part - like an air filter or something. But I loved the long blue dress. To me, the collection was really cold and repetitive. Boo.

I really did like Kenley's best, but I'd be down with Korto winning too.

Third: Kenley. Noooooo! *pouty face*

Runner-up: Korto.

Winner: Leanne. BOO TO LIFE!!!! I HATE HER!!! *extreme pouty face*

I don't think they're having a reunion, because they mentioned during commercial that Korto won fan favorite. Dagger.

KHHHHAAAAAANNNNNN!

Can't... speak... Miss... the eyebrows..... WAAAAAH!

Vote for McCain

America's favorite midget thinks you should vote for John McCain. This is pretty funny, but what I love the most is hearing her drop the F-bomb.

See more Hayden Panettiere videos at Funny or Die

Fringe

This week we have the case of the creepy stalky UPS dude. When he gets angry and/or rejected by the woman he's creeping out, he shorts out electronic equipment. Including the elevator he was riding in with several people - and only he survives the plummet to the basement. He also kills his mother with an electrical discharge to her pacemaker.

Gross autopsies, bloody arms caught in machines, the beating of removed hearts - I'm gonna puke!!!! But that's why the show is cool. And there was also REO Speedwagon.

Walter uses pseudoscience and pigeons to find Electric Man. Yes, pigeons. I don't know, I didn't really follow it. I just enjoyed it. Cuz Walter's too cute when he gives two-thumbs-up.

Olivia has visions of her dead boyfriend John from the first episode. Walter says they're not hallucinations, but that part of John's consciousness crossed over into Olivia's during The Brain Transfer Incident of the first episode. Vision!John leads her to a room full of mysterious files that John was working on. More plots!

Iron Man 2 Casting News

Don Cheadle is stepping in to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2, Marvel Studios' sequel to its summer blockbuster.

In the movie, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's best friend and future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.

Marvel had no comment, but sources close to the deal said negotiations with Howard fell through over financial differences, among other reasons. Marvel, which had wanted to work with Cheadle, then decided to take the role in another direction and approached the actor.

I love Don Cheadle, so this is great. I normally don't like Terrence Howard. Like, I dislike the man for no reason at all, other than that in real life he seems like a douche. And apparently thinks he's worth more than he is. But I didn't mind him in Iron Man - I actually really liked him.

But Don Cheadle will be cooler. He just will be.

Heroes: This Show Makes No Sense

Nathan and Tracy hooked up. Nathan continued his religious mumbo-jumbo, which evidently does not extend to premarital sex. They find out from Angela that Dr. Zimmerman worked for the Company and created people with abilities - including Niki, Jessica, Tracy - and Nathan. He's pissed.

Linderman, who I thought was a ghost or something, recruits Daphne to help him. But it ends up no one else can see him but her. I'm confused about what he is. He wants her to recruit Knox, and later Matt. Turns out it was Matt's dad Maury creating the Linderman visions all along to manipulate Nathan and Daphne and "build an army". He's working for Arthur Petrelli, who is not dead, but rather is in a coma, communicating with Maury through telepathy.

Hiro and Ando freed Adam so he could help them find the formula - which I guess is the formula used to create specials. He takes them to a "specials for hire" bar. Knox ends up capturing Adam. Then Knox and Daphne recruit Hiro to join them - by making him kill Ando. He drives a sword through Ando's heart. WHAT!? Did Hiro really kill Ando? WHAT!? THIS SHOW MAKES NO SENSE!!

Mohinder's in the woods hunting people. He kills a dude and brings him to his lab, and he has the neighbor dude from last week, barely alive, spun up in some kind of web against the wall. And his back is all scaly again. WHAT IS HE!? Maya shows up and starts in with the black tears, and he traps her into one of those web things. So now Mohinder's a killer, cuz really that black dude looked dead. THIS SHOW MAKES NO SENSE!!

Claire's hunting bad guys - starting with Bubs from The Wire. He creates black holes - cool! She is, of course, outmatched. That's what happens when you're an 18-year-old girl out on your own hunting villains. But Bubs isn't really a villain, y'all - he accidentally sucked someone into a black hole and was imprisoned. So Claire decides she'll help him instead.

Peter's raging against Sylar and trying to kill his own mother, but Sylar saves her. Angela puts Peter in a coma as punishment.

Bennet and Sylar team up again to find Bubs. And they can't agree on a radio station in the car. Sylar's acting like a bratty teenager, and sure was awfully accepting of his New Mommy. THIS SHOW MAKES NO SENSE!!

They show up at Bubs' house and Claire's shocked to see her dad and Sylar working together. In the ensuing black hole drama, Sylar saves Claire's life. Bennet asks Bubs to suck Sylar into a black hole, but Bubs refuses to kill anyone, instead sucking himself into a black hole.

You know what this show wasn't missing? Matt in Africa.

But really - this is just too confusing and there are too many people. THIS SHOW MAKES NO SENSE!!

RW/RR: The Island

Jesus, Johnny is just awful to Ev!

I think they should starve the players every year. Like, I'm over this island thing, but just put them in a mansion without food. Good times.

Face Off: Tyrie, Dan, and Ev. She's definitely the only one who would go into the Face Off with 2 guys.

The winner will be able to take a key from any player who has one. They spent entirely too much time on the issue of whose key Ev would take, making deals and everything, even before knowing if she'd win the Face Off or not. Which was a clear indication that she would win it.

Winner: Ev. She takes Johnny's key after a big speech calling out the alliance, naming the members and everything. Now Johnny's on a rampage. I hope it ends up in some good drama and that Johnny's not all talk (like he usually is).

Bye-bye: Tyrie.

Life on Mars

Finally watched the series premiere of the American version of Life on Mars. Man, I was really hoping to hate it.

I love (like, love love love) the original British version. It's an amazing show. (Tragically, only available illegally here in the States.) It's the kind of show that still haunts me and hearing music from it gives me chills. Anyway, with American versions of British shows you can either get a crappy ripoff or something just as good (see, The Office). So far, this is just as good.

The characters mostly have the same names as the British version, which makes me sad. I prefer to think of those original characters as their own entities - I don't want to think of these people as the same people. Especially Gene Hunt. He is amazing in the British version. AMAZING! Here, he's played by Harvey Keitel and just kind of reminds me of Harvey Keitel. I like Chris and Ray in this version though.

The show is about a detective from 2008 who goes back in time to 1973 after being hit by a car. But has he time traveled or is he in a coma? These are the mysteries of the show. Meanwhile, he has to be a cop in 1973 without modern technology. The American version takes place in New York, and right away you can show the hero back in time by showing the Twin Towers. Spooky. With the British version, I definitely didn't pick up on every pop culture reference, being foreign and all. But in this American version there will be more that I can pick up on.

There were lots of details and shots that were identical to the British show. I wonder how much they're going to keep to those plots as the show continues. I liked this, even if it was just because I kept flashing back to the British version. It'll take a couple more episodes before I know for sure. But I didn't hate it!

Fall Rules!!!

We went to Ashcombe Farms for my last day in PA. It was so much fun and the best part of all was that Owen had a great time! Yay! I'm the Greatest Aunt Ever! Suck it, sisters!

I've decided Fall is the best season because of the food. And I had tons this weekend! I also brought home some multi-colored leaves, to add a touch of Fall to Florida. I had a great trip - thanks to everyone who made it awesome!

Partying Like Rock Stars

I brought Ghostie up to Pennsylvania to enjoy some Fall weather.



We went to the park.



We partied our asses off with 4 kids aged 3 and under!

Prison Break

Gretchen has T-Bag tied to a chair. She cuts him all over his arm. His good arm!

Ocean's Eleven time - The Gang's goin to Vegas! Half of them anyway; the rest are staying to try to find T-Bag. T-bag finds them, as he and his secretary lure them to a meeting and kidnap them. Mahone gets away, and gets the tracking device from Michael Rapaport so he can find Bellick and Scofield.

Yes, T-Bag still has the ability to tie people up with his one good hand. (He ended up tying up the secretary somehow as well.) He forces Scofield to put together the map from the Bird Book pages, a map which turns out to be a blueprint. Their work is interrupted when Gretchen, watching from another room, sees Bellick's ankle monitor and knows they're being tracked. So they split by the time Mahone shows up.

The blueprint is for the Gate Company building where T-Bag was working. T-Bag takes Scofield there and they find a secret door in the floor. He takes him down to the basement, where Mahone is waiting. They lock T-Bag in a room and tell Michael Rapaport to come get him.

Meanwhile, in Vegas, the data card reader doesn't work in the Casino, because it picks up too many electronic devices. Sucre follows their target (Mike from 24) to the pool. Well, guess what - the target is gay and Sucre's smooth 12-pack abs are just the thing to lure him!!! Luckily, he's not just gay, he's a creepy, rich gay willing to pay for sex. He invites Sucre up to his room for cognac and balls. But - LOL - it's just a classic Prison Break misdirection. Turns out he's an old impotent dude who wants to pay Sucre to bang his young, hot wife.

The Asian guy gets caught trying to cheat in the Casino, because that's essentially why he created that reader device. He had cheated in the past and Security confiscates the device. Oops. Now he has to build another device. Why don't they just go steal it back?

Gretchen calls the boys and says she has the rest of the book. If they want it, they have to give her back T-Bag. Why does she care about T-Bag so much?

Michael Scofield Nosebleed Situation Update: It's apparently something that happened to their mother too. Nosebleeds as a kid that start back up when they're 30, resulting in death at 31. Michael just turned 31. Dun Dun Dun!

Project Runway: Finale Part 1

The remaining designers get $8000 to go home and design a wedding dress -- ooo, that's new -- and a collection. Then they come back to NYC and get narrowed down to 3 finalists.

Korto in Little Rock. She has an "ethnic but not too ethnic" collection, with her own beadwork and snakeskin (ew). The wedding dress is beige and non-traditional. Her husband and her daughter are adorable.

Leanne in Portland, OR. That boyfriend is such a lucky guy. He looks just as dull and pasty. Her collection has a wave-pattern theme. I don't like it. At all. And there are three colors: white, off-white, and a Tiffany blue. The wedding dress stinks. Is she dull or on some kind of drug? I can't tell now. Too bad they don't make pills that give you a personality.

Jerell in Los Angeles. Lots of "elegant" dresses in his collection. But some look like a wrinkled mess and as usual have that one-extra-thing thrown on that I hate. EDIT! He introduces his "love interest" Dan. Really? Love interest? That's the term we use now?

Kenley in Brooklyn. Kenley used to be a chubby little teen. Now I love her even more. Her collection has ropes (yes, ropes) and hand-painted fabrics. The wedding dress is crazy in a grand-finale kind of way. Her collection probably got the most praise from Tim, at least that's how they edited it.

Back to New York. They all act like massive bitches about and to Kenley. She apologizes to them, but it was a half-ass apology. Whatever, they seemed to accept it. And Jerell rocks the sternum bones and the tie-on-a-chain.

Last-Minute Challenge: Design a bridesmaid dress to accompany your wedding dress. They will be judged on those 2 dresses in order to make it to the next round.

Jerell seems perfectly content to make an ugly bridesmaid dress. And a sloppy one at that. THAT HE WANTS TO ADD YARN TO! YARN! Korto makes her dresses match. I'm over Leanne's wave designs before they even began. I like how it looks on the skirt, but not at the top and middle. It's just so puffy.

Judging. Jerell's and Korto's both look like wrinkled paper bags to me. Wrinkled paper bags with way too much going on. She ended up making her bridesmaids dress shorter and adding a little color, but it was still hella dull. He has to add horrid details like these huge jewels and a big flowery headpiece. There is just always TOO MUCH. I don't like the 2 tiers in Leanne's wedding dress (though it definitely looks well-made), but I loved the bottom of the bridesmaids dress. Kenley's wedding dress is a-dor-a-ble, as is the bridesmaids dress. Go Kenley!!

Bye-bye: Jerell. And he's a tad bitchy about it too.

ALL FEMALE FINALE!!

I'm Ready to Join the Family

I already love Cheetos and Asians - I'm qualified to join the Jolie-Pitt Family!!!

Heroes: There Are Too Many People On This Damn Show

Mohinder's skin is all peeling off and crap since he injected himself with that power serum. Ew. He can't reverse the effects and he's got goo coming out of his hands. He kicks some abusive-racist-husband-neighbor ass. He also rages out against Maya, which was hot and lovely. Unfortunately, he apologizes to her. Pussy.

As for The Attack of the Blonde Clones: Niki/Jessica/Tracy (or Barbara?) were triplets separated at birth and experimented on to give them powers. Tracy can't deal with her powers, and the fact that she killed a dude, so she jumps off of a building, but Nathan flies in and catches her.

At the end of the episode, Angela sends Hiro and Ando to dig Adam up. Adam's a little salty!!!! Yay for the return of Adam!

Four Years in the Future: Future!Peter takes Present!Peter there to show him how everyone has powers now and it's like bad and stuff. People are flying all over NYC. He says they have to find Sylar because his power will help them. Future!Brunette!Claire shows up and shoots Future!Peter and chases off Present!Peter. Claire works with Knox and Daphne. I call them the Bad Kids Gang.

Present!Peter goes to Mohinder's Future!Lab and Mohinder's there, gone all "The Fly". You don't get a good look at him, but you know he's a monster. He tells Peter that Sylar's at the Bennet house. LOL!!! Sylar has a kid named Noah and he's cooking (waffles, natch).

He says when he was Sylar he had a hunger he couldn't control, but that now as Gabriel he struggles to control it, and he won't give his power to Peter lest he turn out the same way. Peter says he has to and blahblahblah, he tells Gabriel to paint the future so he can see why he needs to. Gabriel agrees, but wants to make sure his son doesn't see him. Awwwww. When he sees that the world will explode, he helps Peter take on his intuitive aptitude.

Matt and Daphne are married and have a kid and are taking care of Molly. They get Molly to give them Peter's location and the Bad Kids set out to go to the Bennets. SHOWDOWN!! Little Noah is killed in the ensuing fight. UH-OH! Gabriel goes nuclear and explodes Costa Verde. Oooooops.

Nathan is President and Tracy is the First Lady! And the Haitian's in the Bad Kids Gang too. Claire cuts into Present!Peter, wanting him to feel the pain of all of those deaths. Peter tries to cut Nathan's head open, then teleports back to the present and attacks Sylar in his cell, whining about having his power or something. Sylar says Peter has the hunger now.

The special effects stink on the show this year. The nuclear explosion was pretty cool, but some of the flying and the double-Peter effects are really painfully bad.

Terminator: David Silver Badassery

This show is always awesome when it features David Silver war flashbacks (flash-forwards technically). And thus tonight was awesome.

Another Terminator is in town to hunt down and kill one of John Connor's future lieutenants. John and David Silver go all undercover at the kid's military school to protect him.

In the meantime, the ladies are protecting an even younger kid with the same name from being killed as well. But this means essentially kidnapping the kid - they don't even let him call his mother! I get that he would trust them (maybe) because they saved him from being killed, but wow that was one trusting, not-scared kid.

His parents are good parents, and they're looking for him, going on TV and asking for his return. But the kid is pretty much fine with being a captive. SO WEIRD!

But back to the important part - David Silver defending all the military school students from the Terminator when he comes at night. There is shooting and running and burning of Terminators in tar pits. Yes!

This was probably the best episode yet, except for that strange Stockholm Syndrome Kid. (They ended up letting him go once that Terminator died.)

Best. Mark Wahlberg Impression. Ever.

Close your eyes. IT'S HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karma's a Bitch

O.J. Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart were found guilty Friday on 12 counts of armed robbery and kidnapping in a 2007 sports memorabilia heist in Las Vegas, Nevada. The verdict comes 13 years to the day after a Los Angeles, California, jury acquitted Simpson of the murders of his ex-wife and her friend.

According to the Associated Press, Carmelita Durio, Simpson's sister, sobbed as he was being escorted out of the courtroom. As spectators left the courtroom, Durio collapsed and paramedics were called, court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer said.

Simpson and Stewart could spend the rest of their lives in prison for these convictions.

The thing that made me LOL is that it took exactly 13 years for it to finally happen.

Bigger Slice of Fame

Click for bigger. Woo-hoo!

(OK, enough about this already.)

My 1/15th Seconds of Fame

This is the best shot I could get so far. It was totally readable on an HDTV, I swear.

RW/RR: The Island

They're still going crazy from hunger. And yet there's plenty of booze and make-up on the island so that they can have a "crazy" drunken make-up party.

Johnny is an ass, but he still cracks me up. Robin and Ashli get in a lame fight, and then make up, which is even lamer.

Ashli almost cuts her toe off. But she doesn't want to quit the game, she wants to try her hand at the Face Off. TJ gets pissed because she's not quitting! Well, that's a new one for TJ, who usually gets pissed when people DO quit.

Face Off: Paula, Jenn, and Ashli.

Winner: Paula.

Bye bye: Ashli. After TJ gets pissed about her de-facto quitting. What the hell, TJ? Are you pissed because she's not quitting, or pissed because it sounds like she's quitting? Ugh.

Oooo... Ryan's on this show! I get surprised by a new person every week!

Project Runway: The Kenley Rollercoaster

Final Four! Jerell's the last guy. (Wow, the gays didn't really represent this season, did they?) And he's lonely. *sad face* At least the man can still work a jaunty hat. And shirts cut lower than J Lo's Grammy dress. Sternum bones are the sex.

Challenge: Create a gown inspired by something in the Botanical Gardens.

Collier Strong from L'Oreal is back! Yes! It's not a complete season of Project Runway unless Collier and his bad skin appear. Just last week I was wondering where he was.

Kenley left her bag of tulle at Mood. Ruh-roh! And everyone hates her so no one helps her out. And they are total bitches about it! LULZ. She's able to go back for the tulle on the second day, since she paid for it.

I know she's been a bitch, but I feel SO BAD for Kenley sitting off on her own, with everyone rolling their eyes at her. I WILL SIT IN THE CORNER WITH YOU, KENLEY!

Leanne's looks like a bad prom/bridesmaid's dress. Especially with that lavender color! It looked like the model was wearing a diaper. The judges didn't have much of a problem with it.

I don't like the top of Korto's, but I love the bottom. The judges said it looked like a pageant dress. Korto cried her eyes out. Poor Korto!

I don't like the top of Jerell's either, but I liked the bottom. The model looked pregnant and flat-chested. The judges said it was messy and "off" - but in an interesting way. They drink the Jerell Kool-Aid.

Kenley's looked maybe too simple, except for the bottom which looked like huge fish scales. Kinda gave me a dragon vibe. Nina said it was creepy and old-looking. Kenley was very bitchy and defensive, natch. Why does she make it so hard for me to love her!?

They make all the designers pick who should go to the end with them. BITCH FEST!!! No one picks Kenley. And now I'm back to feeling bad for her again.

Winner: Jerell. Mmmm, Kool-Aid.

Bye-bye: NO ONE! They all get to go home and make collections. Then they come back to NY, show them, then get whittled down to 3 for Fashion Week. They did this before, yes?

Random question: Why were all of the designers wearing yellow ribbons in their hair or hat while they were working? A statement on the war perhaps? Or they all just liked yellow that day.
