The Pacific Ep7

OK episode, pretty much just more of what we saw in episode 6 really. A few people die here and there but we fail to really recognize the significance because we can't tell who it is that has been killed and they don't actually show the person being shot.

Two episodes to go and i really think they will just be more of the same but on a different island. This series has just seemed to focus on three central characters and show them surviving the war. Only one of them has done anything AWESOME......

SO GANGSTA!

Underbelly S3 Ep4

Solid episode this week. Is it me or has this show changed since the opening 2 episodes? We didn't see ANY titty bar conversations in this episode. That's pretty crazy for Underbelly.

Anyway this week we were introduced to a new likable bad guy - Benny Kassab. We see his humble beginnings and within minutes of helping out another bouncer he scores a new job and is shortly raking in the money. I'd like to see what sort of inspiration other viewers are getting from this and Ibrahim's similar story. Are we about to see a bunch of hectic dudes parade around Kings Cross STOPPING fights and helping bouncers?

In another story arc in the series - Kim Hollingsworth, We still haven't really progressed further than it being an excuse for T&A scenes. History says that this side of the story will eventually play a big part but so far we haven't seen much happening in the Kings Cross underworld from this side of the story.

The kids weren't meant to see daddy and his new boyfriend

South Park S14 Ep6

The 200th episode trod on such a fine line it was hard to see where they were going to go with this one but from the start it was obvious they wanted to tell more of a story then show everyone how close they could go to causing extreme uproar. This was partially due to the producers deciding to censor everything out about Muhammad, even the closing speeches made at the end are taken out!

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

Well after 1, maybe 2 seasons of bizarre plot lines, watching Jack be an emo bitch and seeing Hurley just get fatter even though he spends his days power walking all over the island I think this season is making persevering with the show all worthwhile.

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.

DUDE STOP SINGING THAT KE$HA SONG

The Pacific Ep 6

OK this show just does not live up to the Band of Brothers hype bestowed upon it. It is still very good to watch but it is hard to watch it and not think it could have been a whole lot better. A common complaint i keep hearing is that there has been no character development thus far. We are already 6 episodes in and still don't really know any of the characters by name with Leckie and Sledge the exceptions. Episode 6 is the best so far but on a whole this show fails to grab you like BoB did.

Trivia: The guy playing Eugene Sledge is the kid from Jurassic Park

Underbelly S3

Ahhh good old Underbelly. Australian drama at its worst yet you seem to still watch it. Each episode seems to follow the same formula - follow around likable bad dude, show a titty bar, show some violence, show bad dude getting rich, show bad dude getting laid, bad dude gets busted/hurt. Usually each of these steps are in a montage.

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

I can still remember the first time they showed this show on SBS. Straight after i had to call up a buddy of mine to share the disbelief and joy in what i had just seen. 13 years on and we have hit the 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!
