Breaking Bad S3 Ep11
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
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.
Coca Cola. Making your stomach burst since 1991.

Lost S6E15
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
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.

30 Rock S04E20
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."

Lost S6E14
So, being this close to the end of the final season, all bets are off. I kinda knew some heavy deaths were coming with the glib way they sent Ilana packing. Still, I have to say I choked up a bit when Jin and Sun had their scene together.
R.I.P. SUN - YOU MADE LOST EASY ON THE EYE
Sayid had gone creepy for a while, so his death didn't really hit as hard. Can't make an omlette, etc. Also, as tragic as Sun and Jin were, I did think during the scene 'Well, you have a kid now. Maybe one of you should survive?" Dick move, writers. Way to not think about the children.
Maybe Kate will set up an orphanage when she gets back?
The whole parallel universe they've got going on seems to matter a fair bit, considering Desmond, who knows some shit, tried to whack Locke after Locke pushed him in a well back on the island, plus all the other people being aware of it (Libby, etc). My current theory is that if you die on the island you wind up there. My theory about that theory is that I don't know what the fuck is going on.
As for the on-the-island action, some serious shit went down. It's getting fucking hard to figure out who to root for. Obviously not Locke. Sawyer wants to get off the island, and doesn't trust Locke, but now they are pitting him against Jack. Jack seems, well, a little crazy, although him wanting to stay does buy into the whole Jacob/Man In Black thing, and for the whole show he's been the person everyone looks to despite spending most of the last god knows how long being a whiny bitch.
At the end, Hurley cried (devastating), as did Jack (meh). Then Locke picked up a gun back on the dock and stomped off. Shit is forecasted to go down again in a week.
Jack has spent approximately 0.0001% of his time on screen smiling.

South Park S14 Ep7
You could see that the characters at the camp resembled old cartoon characters but this wasn't actualy funny at all.
Here's hoping for a better episode next week.

South Park S14 Ep6
Yesterday this statement was made by Stone and Parker: http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878
Despite the heavy censorship this episode still delivers. We find out who Cartman's father is and we see some old characters like Dr Mephisto make comebacks.

Lost S3 Ep13
The first 8 episodes aren't that special but when you hit the 9th - Ab Aeterno ( aka the Richard episode aka Return of the flashbacks) that's when the show becomes instantly amazing and you are reminded how good Lost can be.
In this week's episode we get dealt even more questions than answers and in the sideways flashes we see the characters crossing paths again. Is it just me or are these side flashes just not interesting? I can't see the point of these parts because the reality that matters is the one on the island not in the bizarro non-island world.
The Pacific Ep 6
Trivia: The guy playing Eugene Sledge is the kid from Jurassic Park
Underbelly S3
Season 1 was too cheesy for me to take seriously. Season 2 upped the game a bit more but starred Matt "I hit girls" Newton and Kate "I'm not Sally anymore" Ritchie. The first 3 episodes have been pretty good to watch, the first 2 more so. I was thinking that this season would be the best one yet until the guy playing Danny Karam showed up. This guy is pretty special!
Did you know that the guy playing John Ibrahim was the Red Power Ranger?
Due to budget cuts, real guns could not be used in this season
South Park – 200th Episode
To tell you the truth i think this show has been slowly dying since season 10 but in the current season we see one of the best episodes ever which features Randy hopping around on his cancer swollen balls - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQo53v9MP60
The 200th episode brings back just about every person the show has ever offended. It is brilliant!
