Breaking Bad S3 Ep11

Another slower paced episode here. We've had two in a row and I think it's all due to the fact that Hank is all busted up in hospital.


We have now been shown the effect of what Walt and Jesse's work is doing to the people directly around them. Hank is probably the most affected now since he lost his shit on Jesse's face and is now in hospital thanks to those Mexican twins of destiny (RIP)


To show the Heisenberg legacy from another perspective in this episode we meet Andrea. Jesse tries to sell her meth but then find out her little brother killed his friend Combo. We met Combo's mother and saw his room a few episodes ago when Jesse was being tracked down so we can now see what purpose that scene served.


We see Skyler warming to Walt more. Do we want this? Her character has just been an insane bitch the whole season I think she needs to follow in Rita from Dexter's footsteps (THEY ARE THE SAME CHARACTER ANYWAY)

At the end of the episode we are left with two things - Walt is told "Never make the same mistake twice" and Jesse meets Combo's killers face to face.

I think shit is about to hit the fan for another epic season finale.







The poolside rape scene really damaged the Walt Jr and Hank dynamic

Underbelly S3 Ep7

OK so this series has quickly deteriorated into a bigger steaming pile of utter turd than it already was. The Golden Mile was supposed to be about John Ibrahim's climb to the top yet all this show seems follow is the utterly boring story of Kim Hollingsworth.

Don't get me wrong, Sunday's episode did provide us with THE MOST ROCKING SET OF CANS we have seen in Underbelly to date but surely they can put something between these sorts of scenes to make the show worth watching.

Lost S6E15

I was crazy jazzed to write about Lost this week, and then I watched it.

Seriously, J.J. Abrams must have balls the size of planets to think he could get away with making that horse shit the fourth last episode of the show. A brief synopsis is that we find out how Jacob and the man in black came to the Island. That's it. We see them as kids, then as adults. They showed where the Smoke Monster came from too, although as to what the fuck it is the writers remain tight-lipped. There were a few 'a-haaaa' moments, like when you realise the man in black's short sword is the dagger that keeps getting passed around when some poor schmoe has to try and stab Locke/Jacob, but that is fucking small change considering the answers we need.
Ultimately, it was pretty much a waste of 45 minutes.

So, instead, I'm going to call the end result of the show.







BOOM - The new Jacob










BOOM - The new Man In Black













This is probably what the last shot will look like.






PS





What, you got Alison Janney but Justin Beiber was busy?

BLUE HEELERS 2087 - A Square Eyez Spin-off

Every now and again Square Eyez will be posting a series of possible spin-offs which we think would be totally awesome to watch. Our first installment is: Blue Heelers 2087



The year is 2087. Traditional cities like Sydney and Melbourne have been ravaged by nuclear war and Mount Thomas is now a sprawling city and home to 12 million people, space aliens and a brooding, evil underground of crime.

Due to a lack of skills, and the fact that crime has been highly fashionable since 2068 there is a drastic lack of police in Mount Thomas and the city is forced to undertake human cloning to provide the necessary police numbers. The first two officers cloned are Senior Sergeant Tom Croydon and Constable Maggie Doyle who both died about 80 years ago in the great Ratings War.


Helping them fight crime they have enlisted the help of the Alien war hero Krong Dust.

Krong Dust is a military legend on his home planet Dolphine and with him the two officers must come to grips with a world so new to them whilst enduring the violent crimes they come up against in a day to day struggle of morality and justice.

Entourage S7 Ep1 Preview

HBO have released the official description for the first episode - "Stunted"

The director of Vince's latest action film talks his star into doing his own driving stunt, agitating both Eric and Ari. Turtle's attraction to an under performing employee named Alex threatens to damage his fledgling car service business. Ari looks to add to his resume as "the biggest agent in the world" by eying an alliance with the NFL. Worried that his holding deal is about to expire, Drama pressures Lloyd, now his agent, to land him a project.

So it looks like season 7 will continue to do what season 6 did with giving the individual characters their own story to follow rather than have stories based around Vince.

30 Rock S04E20

A bunch of stuff happened in 30 Rock this week. Some of it was very funny. However, I'm going to get right to the point of why it's a great episode, even if that fact hangs on a mere 1 and a half minutes






BUZZ MOTHERFUCKING ALDRIN!






And they got him to act like a crazy old man!!!

Every once in a while, 30 Rock hits a Golden-Era-Simpsons level genius with its guest casting (See James Franco playing a Japanese body pillow loving version of himself). But Buzz Aldrin is so out of left field, it's almost shot straight to number one, with a serious contender for the best 30 Rock line of all time:






"Would you like to yell at the Moon with Buzz Aldrin?"





Oh, and a big shout out for the return of Verna, Jenna's mum.






"I got the meat, Jack."
