The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict

Big Love-Episode 42: Next Ticket Out

Big Love-Episode 42:  Next Ticket Out
This episode didn’t have much, just setting us up for the season finale.  After last week’s bombshell of Margene marrying Goran and Joey admitting to killing Roman, I expected this episode to tie up some loose ends, but I was a bit disappointed.  Bill whined the entire time and Barb [...]

Seacrest Strikes Again

I’m not sure if anyone else noticed, but Ryan Seacrest showed his cultural sensitivity last night on American Idol during the guys’ show when he gave a sterotypical Asian bow to the only Asian guy in the competition, John Park.  Right after the judges were finished with their critique, Ryan had some trivial comments, then [...]

American Idol- The Ladies Perform

While I know that we’ve been watching American Idol for almost two months now, if you ask me the show really just started last night.  I personally hate all the filler that leads up to the Top 24.  The fact that the auditions themselves take at least four weeks is horrible, but I know there [...]

Damages: “It’s Not My Birthday”

Damages: “It’s Not My Birthday”

What does a horse, Uncle Pete (Tom Aldredge), Ellen Parsons (Rose Bryne) calling the shots, and bloody feet have in common? One of Patty Hewes (Glen Close) dreams.
What does it all mean? I decided to google dreams and this is what I found on dreammoods.com. To dream about a horse means [...]

Big Love-Episode 41: Blood Atonement

Big Love-Episode 41:  Blood Atonement
What the heck is going on?  I was so stressed out this episode-I had to pause and take in all that was going on.  All season we have seen the Henricksons struggle with Bill’s campaign to the State Senate, but now they must contend with Greenes and Ana’s baby. 
The episode starts [...]

Damages:Don’t Throw That at the Chicken

Episode four was a compelling hour of television drama. The twists and turns that Damages is famous for kept coming this week.
First, let me say, one of the many things I find intriguing about this series are the titles. The writers seem to choose the most obscure lines from the episode. Furthermore, why even have [...]

Project Runway Ep.6 – “A Little Bit of Fashion”

As we saw in last week’s preview, this week is about children’s fashion.  So eleven adorable little girls (ages 5 through 9) come out on stage and announce which designers they are working with.  I can legitimately see fear in some of the designers’ faces.  Uh oh.

Challenge: Create an age-appropriate, fashionable children’s look with $50.  [...]

Lost “The Substitute” Episode 6.4

After last week’s Kate-centric episode, we are treated this week to an episode centered around one of the most interesting characters on Lost, John Locke.  The only problem with that is that Locke is dead.  Well, at least he’s dead in one of the three storylines covered this week.  And why is that important?  Because, [...]

Big Love-Episode 40: Under One Roof

Big Love-Episode 40:  Under One Roof
After the convention, what’s in store for the Henricksons?  This episode had a few of our favorite characters re-emerge, plus it is setting us up for some interesting plot twists.
The episode opens with Bill and Barb at lunch with a Republican Party bigwig and his wife talking shop, breaking up [...]

Survivor 20 Episode 1: Heroes vs. Villains: Odds to Win

Survivor 20 episode 1: Heroes vs. Villains:  Odds to Win
Episode Summary:
After long introductions and several questions by Jeff, the tribes went into the first reward challenge.  This challenge was purely physical, and as expected, the Heroes tribe won (see spreadsheet predictions in post #1) the challenge and the reward of fire.  Highlights included:
1) [...]
