If you’ve read any of my bloggin’s over the past several years, you know that I love me some TV. Some of it is rather bad (like America’s Next Top Model), some of it is pretty decent (such as Heroes), and then there are shows that are pretty much the best thing around (LOST for example). Right now there are a few shows on that I needed to voice my opinion about.

For starters, this season of Survivor is turning out to be one of my favorites in a while. Let’s go through some of the cast.

• Candice: I don’t remember her from the first time she was on, and I forget about her 10 secs after she talks now.
• James: Why thank you James for personally providing us with this great ocean and the trees. You have bestowed your presence upon us, and we are forever grateful. Oh, and thank you for also being a total ass.
• JT: Pick a side/story and stick with it. Otherwise you’re gonna blow the 2nd million.
• Boston Rob: I’m gonna be nice, black out, have an epiphany that I should be bad again, win a challenge, then just kinda fade away.
• Russell: I don’t think you’re as good as you think you think other people think you are.
• Rupert: Did you ever actually leave the island or have you just been living there all along?
• Coach: Jess said it best last night. “Coach can suck my d*ck!” She’s right, but I don’t thing he would, unless he thought it was honorable and just and/or a dragon.

I’m not gonna go through the rest of the cast just yet. I have my opinions of each of them, but I’m curious as to what everyone else thinks. Who’s gonna win? Who’s going home next? How does Colby keep his teeth so white? Do you think anyone would notice if Courtney were to just leave?

LOST

Ok, so other than Survivor, we are hard core on LOST. This is the final season and it’s promises to answer all our questions. I’m not sure if they are answering questions that we have now due to all the new characters OR if they are going to try and go back and answer all the questions we’ve had for 6 years. Like… why did the SmokeLockeMonster kill Mr. Eko? The gaggle of people that AREN’T the Oceanic 6 + Sawyer and Jin…where are they? Did SmokeLocke kill them? Is Rose ok? What about Hippy Translator and Samurai guy? What’s their story? How many more structures are they going to find? Hey, it’s a huge temple…and a Lighthouse…and a casino….and a Super Wal-Mart. At some point they’re going to have to just get the writers, producers, director, etc on the screen and just say “We f’d up. We have no idea where this story is going.” Or just be like “So the 48 people that were on the plane just kinda died in a horrible fire and they also had no back story or desire to get off the island.” I dunno, I’d just like for them to unravel the mystery a bit more swiftly. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the show and if it were to continue beyond this season, I’d be ok with that. I’m just sayin.

Jess has got me watching American Idol, but I have to say, the “talent” this year is BAD. There are one or two guys that are a total waste, but for the most part it is uncomfortable to watch these people up there. I see Andrew Garcia, Lee somethingoranother, Longhair McDirtyBlonde, and Shorty Youngenstein going far…but beyond that I have no idea. We’ve also been watching Grey’s Anatomy and I’m not gonna say that I’m hooked yet, but I really enjoy the show. Heroes had their season finale a few weeks back and I wasn’t overly impressed. It seems that Sylar is now a good bad good good bad guy now…good. The world knows that Clair can fall on her face and heal up and HRG has once again escaped dying. I do like that show and want to see how it evolves.

We also have been watching Project Runway, Vampire Diaries, and um…that’s about it. My Tivo is full, but come to think of it, there use to be a LOT more shows. What should we be watching? Any suggestions? Thursdays are booked for now, until I can get a second Tivo. What are you guys watching? What’s on that’s good? I miss shows like Top Chef, CSI, Make Me a Supermodel, MacGyver, etc. We’re always on the lookout for something new!

First off… Jess and I now officially live together. That’s the deal. There will be more post about that in the future. That’s a fact. We’ve had a Thanksgiving and a Christmas and a New Years and a Ben moving ever f’n thing in the apartment while Jess is totally sick weekend extravaganza. That is truth. I promise at some point I will get to that and I will post pics and all will be glorisou. Tonight is all about Heroes though.

Listen to me when I tell you this. This week’s episode of Heroes is the reason I LOVE this show. First off they brought back Adam. I know he really only had like 1 power and that was talking British and healing, but he was still pretty awesome. I mean it took Peter’s dad sucking the life out of him to kill his ass. But that’s another sotryt. He came back and was in this trial type dealy with Hiro and Hiro’s dad and Hiro’s frind Ando and a bunch of other people. I swear it wasn’t the rum talkinb but the cinamatogrophy in these scenes was just like a little better than the rest of the show. I mean, it wasn’t like watching Avatar in IMAX but still. It was pretty damn good. To top that off Sylar totally made out with Clair. That’s gross, so I’ll go back to Hiro.I really just did like that whole story line about him being on trial. It was kind of a cop out, but what ever. That’s what makes the show awese.

The story with Sylar and Clair was a bit weak, but there’s really only so much you can do with a lesbian cheerleader, a chick with no powers, and a dude with every power in the world in cluding poers he forgot he had (liek the mechanic lady he killed that could hear anything). This story only served to progress the lovefest of Clair and what’shernuts. Either way it was decent, but still enjoyable.

The story of Samnuts and chick was passable. I almost felt like they threw that in there just to get Sam to be a bad guy again. He was getting to be kind of a P word. I mean he was all like “hey you, come be a carney and if you want to leave that’s cool, lemme make you some pancakes and have my tattoo chick lick all up on you.” That was really the only thing he did in the show. But now that he’s pissed I’m sure that he’ll bring dowm some more jail houses and/or magically appear in random placaces with out the ability to jump through time like F’n Hiro!!

So where were all the other characters? Petere is off with sound chick and/or flying around with his ability to fly. Mom Patrelli is off scowling at people and predicting 10 mins into the future. Matt is off being Matt and not doing a damn thing except for that stupid face he does. And the rest of the cast is just kinda fartin’ around while Hiro and Adam do battle to the death in some light filled tunnel. I kinda hope we see Adam again, but seeing as he’s died, yet again, I don’t think we will. Fail on the writers part.

So that’s my story of the night. I’m writing about Heroes and not about the funtastic time Jess and Chase and I have had over the past few months. Not about how I am in love with the most amazing woman in the world. Not about how I am happier than I have ever been in my life or how I have some amazing friends. This post is not about the dramatic changes internaly that I’ve gone through over the past year or how people that I once thought I would never be able to hang out with, spent the night at our place on New Years. I’m not here writing about friends lost and friends gained over the past 14 months. Nope, this post is about Heroes. Stay tuned for all that other nonsense.
