True Blood S03x01 Bad Blood

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

YES, YES and YES!!!

Season 03 of True Blood is finally on!!!I don't have much to say about the first episode, other than it was AWESOME!!!!!!If any of you guys decided to stop watching after Season 02, coz let's face it,Maryanne's story -meh- , you MUST and SHOULD watch the first episode of season 03. So many things happening, I didn't even realise it was a 50 minutes episode!Well, I'll always have a problem with Paquin's acting, since it's with great difficulty that I endure her presence, but I try to shut her out and just sit and marvel at the rest of the episode.Apart from the obvious cool factors of True Blood that is Bill and Eric, I just love seeing Jason and Jessica in pretty much everything they do.I was pretty hesitant about Jessica at first because she is not a character in the book, and I was sure she would not have a good enough story and basically would be completely dull.I couldn't be more wrong!As for Jason, well, everyone pretty much knows how amazing he is so there is no need for me to add more to the praise.

If I had to name one thing that stands out in this episode,it would be-come on, you know it!- Sam's dream of course!UN-BELIEVABLE!!!!!To be honest, I didn't know what was going on at first.I had totally forgotten the blood bond(Sookie-Eric) and what it can do to your brain.Way to go Giota, I have read all 9 Sookie books and I still forget important facts!Or maybe I just take them for granted.Anyway, I didn't read too much into it at first, but then as Bill started to get closer to Sam and their breath getting heavier and then  when Sam takes off his shirt I was thinking "Gee, something really wrong and perfectly perverse is going on here!" One of the most amazing and memorable scene in True Blood ever!

Watch it!!!!Pure awesomeness!!

WATCHING : Pretty Little Liars S01x01

I was waiting so long for the pilot of PLL,since I am a huge fan of the books, and I must admit, I am little bit disappointed.

I'll try not to compare the series to the books much.I don't think I have to really since,the pilot at least,was very similar to the book.Only Jenny's last name is changed and the time period between Ali's disappearance and the "present".

However,as I watching I had the constant feeling I was watching 5 episodes all shoved into one.Anyone who has read the books will get what I am saying.I don't know if I would understand  anything that went on if I hadn't read the books beforehand.But maybe I'd enjoy it more if I hadn't read the books.I really don't know.

I didn't like any of the guys.Well, maybe Ezra a little bit,if he got rid of that stupid haircut!I think the best looking one was Mike,Aria's brother, and we didn't get to see much of his face!Ian...OMG Ian was awful!!In case you don't remember, he is Melissa's,Spencer's sister's,boyfriend from Spencer's flashback.First of all,Ian is blonde.I know you think it's a minor detail, but trust me,it's really not.Anyway,guy-wise it was a let down.Also, a guy that plays a major role in the books was not introduced.Maybe later on.

Now, the girls.I like Spencer.I like the girl they cast for her role,even though I never thought I would.She is not the out of this world beauty,which Ali is supposed to be(which she so isn't,btw) and I think she is exactly as she is described in the books.Well, apart from the blonde hair.What do they have against blondes??Dunno!

The girl who plays Emily is OK, but not at all who I would have picked.The other I have no problem with yet.

Plot was really a mess.Everything was happening so fast, Ali's disappearing, Aria and Ezra's alleged relationship,Emily confiding so easily in Maya, a girl she just met(same goes with Aria and Ezra),and in general the whole episode, especially the first half, was a blur.I know they are trying to fit everything in 10 episodes but I think they've overdone it.Also, do you know if the first season is supposed to be about the first book or more,because if that's the case,and judging from the first episode,I don't think I'll like it much.

But there is no need to jump into conclusions.There are 9 episodes ahead, we'll just have to wait and see where this whole thing is headed.

My new obsession...

The National.Isn't this song beautiful?The video is fan made.I don't think there's an official one.

Revision is the key

Every time I watch Lost's finale, I like it even more!I think I was a tad too severe in my review of the last episode.I think, after the 3d time I've watched it, I am satisfied,both emotionally and mentally(plot wise).Watch it more than once, guys.You'll live a totally different experience!

WATCHING : Lost - The End

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Here endeth Lost.

I've watched the finale on Monday night.I've prepared some kind of ritual beforehand, switched off all phones, turned off all the lights and hit Play, prepared to watch the final episode of a series I've been a huge fan of for 6 years.After 1h and 44mins of literally not moving from my seat and not making any sound, it ended.I decided to let some time pass, because I wanted to be completely unaffected emotionally and mentally before writing this review.I can't say it worked, since I am still indecisive and torn. Loved it, hated it,are both very strong words and I didn't want it to come down to either/or.But then again, Lost was all about extremes this past 6 years, and the finale was no different.

But more to the point.Which is basically one:did it worth it?And the answer,in my mind, can be only one:Yes.It did.

I won't try to persuade you that I was not pissed, because I was.I was one of many that was desperately hungry for answers.Answers to the numerous questions the writers themselves had posed in every single episode.I was not deluded of course and I knew that I was not gonna get them, at least not all of them.But I still needed some, any! explanation of some basic stuff that went on.In the end I realised answers were not necessary.Which made the questions unnecessary as well, which only makes you wonder why the hell they existed in the first place.Why insert all these perplexing and unexplainable situations when you know that, as a creator, you are not going to at least try to make some sense out of?Why go to all this trouble to create such an intriguing and mysterious plot and have millions of viewers going through the web searching for information in the hopes of making heads or tails of this untangleable mess,only to remind them that you know, this is a character series after all.I don't mind it being a character series at all,that's what I loved about in the first place.But why not try to have a good character series with a decent plot at the same time?Why putting your all in constantly enriching the plot if in the end, it basically didn't matter?And to insist that they have known the end from the beginning, only makes it worse.That was the only real complaint I had watching the finale.Why all this?

That being said, I found myself wondering "Why NOT all this?"It was a story, a farytale, about a group of people who went through incredible emotional and physical ordeals, which made it extremely difficult for them to let go after they died.People that have created a safe haven, a sanctuary where they could all meet with one another and move on to a different place, a higher existence.That's it.Unfortunately when you have thrown in all these sci fi and fantasy stuff and then try to wrap it all up with a religious and metaphysical ribbon, you must be fully aware that it will definitely not gonna sit well with a lot of people, and it's completely understandable.

You see, I started writing this review trying really hard to be unbiased and unattached but I can't, I keep going back and forth, like it-disike it-like it again-dislike it again.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I am really, really sad that Lost has ended and I strongly believe that there is not gonna be another series like it.I enjoyed it full heartedly all these years and even though the final episode did not fully satisfy me, hey, it was just another episode.I will never forget the times it made me laugh, the times it made me cry, the times it made me sit up and yell at the screen, the times when I just couldn't wait to see "the next episode", the countless hours I researched on the net, the numerous conversations and arguments I had with friends about it,everything.If that doesn't make a great show, then what is?  

I will always remember it fondly and love it with all my heart.

WATCHING : Lost - What They Died For

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Boy, do I not like the way this is headed!

It saddens me to feel this way, believe me.To not have a good thing to say about a Lost episode, is unbelievable.I never thought this day would ever come.But I just can't pretend I like it, I'm sorry.After the last episode, the spark is not there any more, I feel.Though, I have to admit I take some things I said about the last episode back, after a long talk with friends and a lot of explaining of what is going on.But was it really explaining or just speculating?I still don't know.I feel, and I will try to put this in the nicest way possible, that the writers took the cowardly way out, by giving us episodes like the last two.It's like they added so many unexplained and unanswerable stuff and they kept adding and adding, only to wash their hands in they end and say "Well, none of that will be answered, not really, but we're leaving it up to you to interpret them in any way you want".Well, that sucks for me.Maybe that's their explanation, that their isn't one.They didn't want to restrict the viewer, confide him in one and only one way of thinking.That may look good on paper, but I don't think it actually is.I'm of course looking forward to the finale because I believe hope is not lost(no pun intended!).After the finale I will have a more clear view of the whole series.And I am certainly not condemning Lost, being one of my favourite series ever.But I have a strong feeling that the aftertaste will be bitter as hell.

WATCHING : Survivor Heroes vs Villains Finale

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

::DRUMROLL::And the winner is...::DRUMROLL

Sandra!*doing the crazy happy dance*.Was I surprised? Hell, yeah!Let me do a short evaluation of each finalist and tell you why:

RUSSELL : Well, he is an asshole.There was no way in hell,-you know, his home town- that he could win.Him not grasping that, is still beyond me.I just can't get it in my head how a person can be so ignorant after he went to all this trouble to show and actually be proud of his immense megalomania and self love.I mean, didn't it cross his mind even for a second, that most people don't like that?There's more to the game than strategy and he ought to know that, seeing how he lost in Season 19.But instead of changing HIS game, he expected everyone else to change THEIR vote.Such things do not and will not happen.And I am very glad they aren't.Well, they did happen once, all the way back to Season 01 and Richard Hatch,who Russel has probably idolized before going into the game.But that was 10 years ago and it was the first Survivor ever.They kinda played it by ear and unfortunately, that was the result.It is no wonder though, that no person like Richard has won Survivor since.That didn't seem to bring down Russell at all, as he continued to believe that everyone would vote for him because they ought to respect his game.When no one can respect you as a person, they cannot respect your game.It's as simple as that.As Candice said, he took it a bit too far.Malevolent things he did or said where not necessary, which means he sucked at the social game, which means he couldn't win.Even at the very end, the last tribal council, he was adamant about his actions throughout the game,  refusing luck was part of it.He didn't get a single vote and still he didn't seem to get it!Ugh!I hope we will never get to see him play the game again.

PARAVTI: She is another story entirely.Or isn't she?She played a different game than Russell, full on strategic and physical, yes, but different.She didn't back stab anyone and she stayed loyal to her alliance, even putting her neck on the line so as to secure it, when she gave both her immunity idols to Sandra and Jerri.But who gave her the idols?Russell.And the one she desperately needed when in Villains tribe to save her butt?Russell again.She was very close to Russell throughout the whole game and even though she used him as she very correctly said "Because no one else would take her", she was not the instigator she was in Fans vs Favs and I think in the end the jury couldn't tell those two apart.It was a bit unfair to Parvati because she played a hell of a game. But having to vote someone that was very close and often depended on the person you absolutely despised,is difficult and complicated. Despite all that though, I was 100% sure that she would win.But...

SANDRA:Needless to say her game compared to Russell's and Parvati's was night and day.She was not strong physically, she didn't win any individual immunities and she never had a hidden immunity.Well, except for that one time, which she actually didn't need to play it.She was also on the outs when it came to the main Villain's alliance ,Russell, Parvati and Danielle and she did everything she could to survive another day.And she did.She was also very likable.She was not out to get anyone (except Russell), she didn't have bad relationships with anyone.On the contrary, she had great relationships with the Heroes, as she desperately tried to save them after the merge, but to no avail.Heroes, whose number was big in the jury, understood that (a little too late) and they gave her the million.Being clever and opinionated, never taking crap from anyone, never being scared of Russell, all the while making him think she is no threat at all, makes her more than deserving to win in my eyes.Bravo!

Final 3 never appealed to me and I think it's a bad way to end a very good season.Final tribal proved that.It lacks the excitement of the final 2, who to chose to compete with and all that drama was,in my opinion, necessary especially this season.That being said, I think that Heroes vs. Villains was an awesome season with, though it didn't look that way at first, fantastic players.

Next stop : Nicaragua!

*I can begin to describe my admiration for the man named Jeff Probst. He is just brilliant!

WATCHING : Lost - Across The Sea

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Huh?

I really, really, really don't know what to say about this episode.I'm at a loss for words.Which, under any other circumstances it'd be awesome, but now, not so much.

This is not actually a review, since I find it extremely difficult to review this episode.All I know is that I thought it was perfect and unbearably frustrating at the same time.Yeah, I know.Weird.At first glance, Across The Sea had it all, the acting, the direction, the atmosphere, everything was there.However, it was flawed.Way flawed.Maybe because this episode was advertised as an "exposition" one , and answers was the one thing we didn't get.Questions?Yeah, plenty of those!Will they ever be answered? No.Is it ridiculous and annoying?Absolutely.

You know, all I wanted was to find out who these guys are and what is their connection to the island and I was good to go.No more questions, everything answered.Well, not exactly, but it'd be good enough for me.Why did they have to complicate things even more?I'm not even gonna start with the questions, it'd take me all day!Maybe I'm dumb, and everything is so obvious and apparent and only I can't see it.Maybe there was an explanation given and I didn't like it.Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.But, while there is a strong possibility of all of the above happening, sure thing is that L&C had a whole season to start filling holes they themselves dug deeper and deeper and deeper all these years, and they didn't do it.It feels like they're just putting a blanket above each hole and saying "Well...here you go".For me, after watching and being a huge fan of Lost for 6 years, this is not acceptable.

*Why not make all the episodes like Ab Aeterno? Simple, explanatory and amazing. Pfff!

WATCHING : Survivor S20 EP13

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

So, Rupert is out.

Unfortunately, I accidentally found out about that this morning, while searching for Life At Ponderosa videos of Danielle, because I was curious to see how the welcoming party went.But lo and behold, I found one with Danielle's face on it and I thought that was it, but when I clicked on it, it said "Life At Ponderosa Rupert Pt.2" *sigh* That's internet for you!

What I found interesting about this episode, though in general it was kinda dull, was Russell's attitude towards the game.I thought he was out of his mind voting Danielle out and deciding it so spoteniously and so careslly, when he had nothing and no one to back up his plan.But, after thinking it over, I've got to admit it was a good strategic move, even if it didn't seem that way at first.But now, I am absolutely sure he has lost his marbles!Being mad at Jerri for not picking me for the challenge win and deciding to flip?That's just plain stupid and selfish.He seems so unable to concentrate on anything because he is overwhelmed of the fact that he is not in control, that he was,practically, never in control.He gave his idols away to save other people, he had no idea who had the other two, he was not in on the plan to throw out Candice, nothing!And he thinks he has done so much for this girls, he said it himself, and he brought them all the way to final five and they still don't bow to him, they still don't respect him.That's what will cost him the game, in my opinion, because even he makes it to the final two, no one will vote for him.No one.

When I saw him promising final 3 to Rupert and Colby, I was smiling and saying to myself "Come on, don't waste your cunningness and your villain wit on those two.They are out!" because I thought he was just playing with them.But when I saw that we was actually considering,nay,planning to vote Parvati out, I was shocked!Granted,great strategic move on his part, but it was a shock, regardless.And if she hadn't won immunity, I think he would have gone through with it.Speaking of immunity, 3d endurance immunity after the merge?The ones Parvati ALWAYS wins?Come on!!!!Could it be any more obvious that they trying to have a two-times winner for the first time? Well, it seems pretty obvious to me.The way I see it, if Parvati makes it to final 3 or 2, she is guaranteed to win,no doubt in my mind.Regardless who is up there with her.Villains claim that Rupert and Colby are such huge threats for the jury votes.Have you not played Survivor 2 or 3 times???Nobody is gonna vote for Colby and maybe JT,Amanda and Coach would vote for Rupert, but that's it.Startegic players have won the game so many times.Ring any bells Parvati? So unless Russell gets Jerri and Colby to vote out Parvati, they don't stand a chance.

Don't forget : Survivor Heroes vs Villains finale is on Sunday!


*edit(just a tiny one) : If Rupert had listened to Sandra from the beginning, he could definitely make it to the finals.She tried to save his butt and be on his side so many times and he didn't listen to her.She told him to get rid of Russell and he goes yapping to him that she is still after him.WTF?You're trusting Russell now, trying to be on his good side? The man you said you despised and loathed with all your might?And you're still wondering why you haven't won?Pff!
What also got a huge eye roll from me,was Jerri's comment on Sandra and Parvati giggling at Russell's threats."Why do you want to upset Russell? Are you crazy?" Oh yeah?Why is that exactly?Granted, he's appearance is somewhat intimidating,all troll-like and stuff, but come on.The girls know that at this point in the game, Russell cannot scare anybody.Ultimately,he will have someone alongside of him at the last tribal, and whoever, WHOEVER that is,Russell cannot and will not win.

TRUE BLOOD Season 03 Promo #1

WATCHING : Amazing Race Season 16

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Ugh!The finale was so frustrating, I cannot even remember the season's good moments.

Well, I guess the greatest moment was Brent and Caite participating.Right from the start, it ensured uncontrollable pointing and laughing.

Season was OK, I guess, nothing major and reality-themed happened.2 U-Turns, the second one was idiotically used, causing Carol and Brandy to go mad and not unjustly.You see, Caitie was upset because they think poorly of her, so she deicides to get rid of them.Well,of course they would think poorly of her.Hasn't she seen herself getting ridiculed on national TV?She said she wanted to make it to the end to prove how smart she is to anyone who has the audacity to diss her instead of automatically kneeling before her.Being stubborn, persistent and mean does not make you smart.In fact, she proved quite the opposite when she did all these mistakes during the race.So, the bad blood between those two teams continued even after B&C finished the race, making the last scene of the episode the first dispute that took place after the end of the race and a brilliant reality gem.

Call me crazy, but I wanted team Jordan and Jeff to last longer in the game.I mean, I didn't really care about the girl but he was so funny!

"We're so stupid!We definitely shouldn't reproduce." I mean, come on!Priceless!

I can't say I supported team cowboy during the whole game.I didn't like them at all at first, I wanted them out!But after the 3d episode I knew I wanted them to win and I believe they deserved it.But they didn't, hence the frustration.I didn't really care about Dan and Jordan.I felt they were a bit whiny and they always bickered.But hey, at least B&C didn't win, that's something!

For Season 17,I think they should have a major brainstorming and change their challenges a little bit.Not make them tougher necessarily, but different.We keep seeing the same challenges over and over again, like the building climbing or rapel, the bungee, the correct order challenge in the end.After 16 seasons, they have gotten kinda old.

WATCHING : Something hilarious!

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Review coming soon!

WATCHING : Lost - The Candidate

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

This episode was so unequal, as unequal things go I guess.I felt so much emotions watching it.Anger, frustration, sadness, anguish, excitement, astonishment,disappointment.

I will explain,in brief :

Anger and frustration, because I didn't like the first half of the episode at all.It was the same old stuff, written in a different way.Totally wasted precious Lost time.If it was in any other episode, in every other season, it would still suck, but not as it sucked being part of one of the last five ever Lost episodes.Apart from a few, very few, exceptions, all the FSs were the same : someone from the plane meets someone else from the plane and we have to understand,like we didn't the first 50 times!,that everyone is connected.We get it,OK?We're not stupid!Well, not all of us!So anger and frustration because I couldn't believe I was watching the same thing for the billionth time and which,mind you,took 20 minutes?Yes,plenty!

Anguish, excitement and astonishment because of the sub scene.Thank God(or Jacob,whatever) for the sub and for Widmore or whoever brought it to the island, because it totally saved this episode.It lasted only 10 minutes(!!!),but it was all it took.When I heard Jack trying to explain MIB's strategy and that maybe he is not allowed to kill the candidates and he wants them to kill each other so he can leave, and then with the bomb and Sayid telling Jack where to find Desmond and that he is the one,I sat up on my bed and I literally gasped.Not that it was the most unexpected thing in the world, but to me it meant a lot, because nothing has made me spring from my bed in such a long time and I felt like it was long overdue and I needed it.It felt like watching Season 01-02 all over again, and I loved every minute of it!

Sadness because Sayid died(who would have thought?)sacrificing himself and disappointment because of the way they chose to disgrace Sun and Jin's characters.Maybe I'm overreacting, but that's what I think.To have them talk english,english!!!!,after being apart for 3 years(Lost time) and then to force, no, practically demand viewer's to be sad because they died, is unbelievably disappointing, especially after such a strong scene(sub).And the hands...give me a break!You're nor shooting Titanic!This is Lost!14th episode of the last season!Only 4 left!Why do something so cheesy and cheap?After giving us Charlie's death scene which was amazing, I thought they wouldn't dare play it safe.I was wrong.

If the next episode,Jacob and MIB centered,falls flat,I'm losing all hope for the finale.Like I said : I'm not giving up on Lost,I'd never do that.Unless of course it gives me a reason to give up on it.

Yes, unfortunately it's true.According to Ausiello, Legend Of The Seeker will not be renewed for a 3d season and is therefore, cancelled. 

Can I start crying now, please??I absolutely adored this series and I would love for it to come back next year, but I guess what I want doesn't matter when it comes to American Television.So many series I love have been cancelled, and it's starting to get a bit frustrating.

I still can't believe there won't be any Legend next year *sigh*

WATCHING : Survivor S20 EP10

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

!!Un-fucking-Real!!

This episode made me so glad I started watching Survivor, I can't even tell you!

But let's start from the beginning:

Merge happens, and when Villains, carrying what it seems their entire camp, walk towards Heroes' beach, JT, eagle - eyed that he is, spots Parvati immediately."Wait, what's she still doing here?And Russell is here,too?OMG, I've been played!I can't believe I trusted Russell, a man I haven't spoken to for more than 2 minutes in the entire game,with my,MY,immunity idol.Oh, I swear on all that is holy and on my cattle,I'll kick him out and he won't even know what hit him!Just wait and see,Russell!" 

He seemed to say.

What he did say was "Wait, is this Parvati?Wow, she must have played a hidden immunity idol, just like my Russell-boy did!Oh, fudge!" 

Later, when he "confronted" Russell about it, he told him what he had planned with his concubines to say,and what the Heroes stupidly suspected : that Parvati had a hidden immunity idol,she played it and Courtney was out for some reason.And JT didn't question that for a second, saying to Rupert "See?I told you he was solid". I mean, is he for real?? I was so frustrated with him, I started laughing hysterically, because I really couldn't believe anyone can be THAT stupid, let alone a previous winner. 

But then Rupert talked to Sandra, and she filled him in, saying that there never was an all-women alliance and that Russell is the kingpin and Parvati is his second in command.Rupert, despite the humungus amount of hair in his ear, listened to her and believed her.Well, not completely, God forbid!, but enough to go to the others and say  "Guys, maybe we shouldn't trust Russell".JT was all "come on, man" and "you're getting paranoid" and "Russell promised to give me one of his kidneys so I believe I can trust him" and (with a chuckle) "That's why Rupert has never gone far in the game, because he doesn't know how to stategize. Hey, Rups man, leave it to the experts, OK?"

Whatever.

However, they all decided to play it safe and only pretend to vote Parvati, in case she indeed had a hidden immunity idol,so they would both flush out the idol and get to kick some other Villain out.In addition(yes,it gets better!)Russell is pretty anxious about Parvati getting voted out.So after a lot of thought,of about 5 seconds,he decided to give his well earned idol to Parvati, to save her bony ass AGAIN!Little did he know, that she had one already!Oh, the joke's definitely on you this time Russ!That girl is gooood!She even has THE KING (of all slimy and evil) wrapped around her finger!That's saying a lot!

Then Amanda goes and talks to her.Why on earth??She tells her that she has her back and all that nonsense and Parvati, tells her she has a hidden immunity idol.Amanda secretly likes that,because she knows that their plan is now made complete:let Parvati suspect she's out and if she doesn't win individual immunity(Danielle won,btw),she plays the hidden idol,a villain goes home and we win.We're so cunning, I can't even stand it!

Not.

Her big mouth betrayed her, when she practically forced Parvati to play the idol, telling her that she will most definitely get voted out.Of course,Parvati isn't stupid.She is the queen for a reason, you know.She knew right on the spot that Amanda was lying and she decided to do something that nobody,I mean NOBODY, would see coming.Something magical!

Tribal council.Jeff asks questions and gets evasive answers, except for Russell,as always.When Parvati said she feels like the leper of the tribe, Jeff asked her if that's because she was used to getting so much attention by everyone.Love you,Jeff.Love,love,love!

And we get to the vote.Heroes vote for Jerri and Villains for JT(obviously not that big a threat, you guys!)Jeff asks if anyone has the hidden immunity idol.Silence.All heads and cameras turn to Parvati.She reaches in her bag.Heroes nod thinking "I knew we shouldn't trust Russell!But now we know".Parvati doesn't keep the idol for herself, though.She gives it to Sandra.What the fuck????Why did she give it to her?Chocked laughter from the Heroes,thinking she gave the idol to the wrong person.And then P. reaches in her bag one more time.And gives her second idol to *drum roll* Jerri. Everyone freezes.JT moans and groans knowing he's out,Rupert looks like he's gonna tear his beard off with his bear hands and Russell,oh Russell looks piiiiiiissed!!!Because not only he didn't appreciate giving P. his idol and not even using it to save her own self, but also because she had another one he didn't know about.And you know that if you lie to Russell, you'll burn in hell for all eternity!Maybe longer!

"You have some 'splaining' to do" he told her with menace and everything went black.

Oh,JT was voted out.Under any other circumstances I would a care a little bit, but he basically kicked himself out so I couldn't care less.

So, everybody is game now.No idols(I'm sure they will plant new ones soon, just for Russell.With his name on them).Only advantage is Villains' numbers, which I wouldn't count on,because Sandra desperately wants to flip so she can vote Russell out.Now, about Russell and P. I don't think their alliance is broken, but  Russell will definitely be more sceptical when it comes to her.After all, she made him look like a fool, and that is not something he is gonna forgive and forget.I enjoyed watching him look humiliated so much,that I think congrats are in order.So,cudos to P.Even though, I never liked her, she is admittedly one hell of a player!

WATCHING : Lost- The Last Recruit

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

"Ότι τι;" That's greek for "And?" That's what this week's episode felt like to me.Like an episode cut in half and next week we'll get the other half.So many things happening, but yet nothing really happened.I don't know if you ever get that feeling,but that's what I felt.

So, I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to write a review about Last Recruit.I guess, I'll be waiting for its other half in two weeks.

Some stuff that happened:

• MIB was the one inside Jack's dad (Huge revelation.Not.)
• Sawyer ditched Smocke, and he,Kate and the others(no pun intended :P) took the sailboat, at the hopes of meeting up with Widmore and having a chance at the sub (guess how that worked out!)
• Jack was with them,but he decided to jump off just at the last minute, telling Sawyer that he knows they are not supposed to leave(here we go again!)and that if MIB(smoke monster,killer) wants them gone, maybe, just maybe,it'd be  a pretty good idea if they stayed.
• Claire followed them and found out they were leaving without her.Kate talked some reason into her (yeah, right!),convincing her that the only reason she came back was to find her and get her reunited with her son (YEAH,RIIIIIIIGHT!!!)So, Claire's onboard.Ick.
• Sun's and Jin's reunion was anticipated but still sweet.
• Smocke saved Jack from the explosion(don't ask!)Question:If he wants all the candidates dead (or gone,whatever), why did he save Jack?
• Smocke sent Sayid to kill Desmond.He told him he did, but come on!
• Richard and co. are MIA.
• Desmond trying to bring everyone together in the FS.Sun panicking at the sight of Locke was good.

You see what I'm talking about?Incomplete scenes,leaving you wondering,with only 5 episodes left.It's like watching Season 01 all over again.Which doesn't not make it a bad episode necessarily, but not very good one either.


Sawyer : (Sayid) He's gone over to the dark side.
Hugo : Yeah, but you can always bring people back from the dark side.
I mean, Anakin...
Sawyer : Who the hell is Anakin?

WATCHING : Glee - The Power Of Madonna

Without a doubt, the best one so far!

Highlights:

*Like A Virgin

*Brittany(Looooove her!)

*Sue's comments on Will's hair-always a laugh!

*Michele's voice.Amazing.

The only thing that didn't work for me was Rachel's song with Finn and Vogue.I found it a bit awkward.And disturbing(?).

WATCHING : Survivor S20 EP 09

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

It really happened.No smart editing, no nothing.Just stupidity at it's very,very best.JT gave Russell the hidden immunity idol.To save himself from the vote and join the remaining Heroes after the merge, in a powerful alliance of 6,till the end.Amanda(who would have thought?)had some reservations, which she expressed while interviewed privately.Not to the rest of her tribe,seeing that the idol was part hers,but to the camera.All the other Heroes were overly excited to give Russell the idol and when they went back to camp from their immunity challenge win, they almost restrained themselves from doing the happy dance,because they were certain that this move was THE move,and would benefit them immensely. As Colby said "This is Survivor history".Well, it sure is,fake Superman!

And as if giving Russell the idol wasn't enough, JT wrote him a note.Oh, the note.Words can't even describe what I felt when I saw him read it out loud to the rest of the Heroes to gain their approval.Maybe he wasn't confident about his grammar,I don't know."Pity" is not a strong enough word."Frustration" is close,but still not cutting it.I'm frustrated because these morons are actually forcing me to root for Russell, which is completely against everything I believe in.Unreal.

"Now,I don't even have to find idols.People are actually giving me idols" - Russell

*Parvati has found herself another hidden immunity idol, which she showed Danielle.But not Russell.At least not yet.See, Heroes?She didn't even tell her BFF about the idol she found,whereas you just handed the only leverage you had in the game to a complete stranger. Tsk,tsk.Parvati was right.How was JT able to win Survivor, is beyond me.

*Courtney was voted out.

WATCHING : Lost - Everybody Loves Hugo

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Nice episode.I expected way more from what people where saying about it,but it was not THAT good,IMO.Don't get me wrong, it was nice seeing Libby again(she's adorable!),even though the reason she gave Desmond the sailing boat will never be cleared-maybe it just happened, no reason at all?Nah, too easy.And of course let's not forget Smocke pushing Desmond into the well.Is it possible Desmond, after the electromagnetic thing-y,is now Jacob and that Smocke somehow saw through that?Did you notice his expression when he asked Desmond "Do you know who I am?" and Desmond answers "Of course.You're John Locke".Weird.And then down the well he goes.Weird-er.

In the flash sideways we see Desmond trying to go through with his plan, showing every passenger of Oceanic 815 that what they're living is not real(well, not exactly,but you know what I mean),talking Hugo into talking to Libby again, realising that, when she kisses him, that she's been telling him the truth all along.Oh,and of course the last scene when Desmond hits Locke with his car and runs.What was that?Apparently, he knows he had to kill Locke, in the hopes of avoiding the whole Smocke situation.But how did he found out?Did he just happen to see him at school and bam! it hit him?His scene with Ben indicates that he has been waiting for Locke, so he must have intended to kill him when he got there.Has he spoken to Eloise, the only one that seems to know about the two realities,and she told him he had to kill Locke in order to prevent something very bad from happening?I don't know.But the much anticipated reunion in the end, indicates that we'll find out in the next episode.

*Illana dies.So much for her training!

WENT TO : EDITORS live @ Fuzz (14/04/2010)

Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees

Say goodbye to everyone you have ever known
You are not gonna see them ever again
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands
Have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?

WATCHING : Lost - Happily Ever After

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Every time I am to write a review about an episode of Lost,I try to be all critic-y and serious.It finally dawned on me that I can't do it. I am a proud lost fan and I can be neither objective nor serious.

That's why I find it so hard to write a review about this episode.About every amazing Lost episode, for that matter.Because Happily Ever After was indeed amazing.Maybe beyond amazing.Maybe Ab Aeterno amazing.

There was absolutely nothing wrong about this episode.Everything falls right into place.What's not to love about it? Charlie's appearance and the magnificent bar scene he had with Desmond? Faraday's appearance and again, his scene with Desmond? Penny's appearance and,surprise surprise,her scene with Desmond?There is no coincidence whatsoever that every Desmond centered episode is brilliant.He is this series constant,for sure.And here he is again, after a long absence, in an episode packed with emotion and sentiment and at the same time an episode that pushes the plot forward, explaining in a few words wonderfully spoken by Faraday, the meaning of last year's finale:the bomb explosion, and what was its impact to the universe, to time and space as we know it,to everyone's lives.In the end, everything comes together in a realization that this is not the life that any of them is supposed to live and that everyone must be aware and do something about it.

Every episode of Lost should and could be like Happily Ever After.Exemplary in every aspect.

WATCHING : Survivor S20 EP 08

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Heroes won.Both challenges.Coach is out.Bored.

However, 2 extremely important things happened in this episode: 

1. Heroes think that because Rob is out, there is a dominating women's alliance at the Villains' camp.WHAT????? I knew the Heroes were stupid, but I didn't think they'd be THAT stupid.And JT whispering to Russell to hang in there??Are you freaking kidding me???Of course, Russell ,the ultimate evil that he is, immediately picked up on this, and I could already hear the cogs in his brain turning, trying to work this unexpected gift to his advantage.And he has every right to.He's playing with a bunch of morons to win a million dollars.It's a fact.Also, getting rid of Coach,without even voting against him,strengthens the "Women are out to get the men" notion.Brilliant!
2. Next week's episode preview.Oh My God!!!!!If there is a merge in the next episode ,and something tells me there will be, and JT actually does what he says he'll do,give Russell the hidden immunity idol so that he can rescue the men from all the blood sucking women over there and no other member of the Heroes tribe even tries to oppose to that,he might as well give him the money right there and then,because, without a doubt,Russell will be the winner. It will top all of the other stupid moves that went on in the game of Survivor, that's for sure.Or maybe it's just another smart editing,who knows? Ahhh, can't wait for next week!!!

ps.What's Colby still doing there??
pps.Coach is the first member of the jury.Just thought I'd mention it.

WATCHING : Survivor S20 EP 07

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

When this season of Survivor started, I was supporting the Heroes full heartedly. There were people in the Villains' tribe,I wished I'd never have to see again-ever!I mean Coach,Russel,Tyson and Rob??Come on!Blah!

Then Heroes collapsed like a flan in a cupboard.Suddenly I started looking at the villains' camp with new eyes.Again Tyson justified my opinion of him, not a surprise.Stupid, stupid man.Coach I still don't like and probably(surely) never will.And that leaves us with Russel and Rob.And I am telling you now that not in a million years did I think that I would ever bring myself to like Boston Rob. Russel is so disgusting and lame,a slimy little troll indeed,I can't stand the sight of him,that Rob seemed liked the most honourable man in comparison.But all that is pointless, because Rob is unfortunately out of the game.Way too early.The main reason I was so excited to watch Survivor every week, was to see Rob trying to get rid of Russel or Parvati and vise versa.Now Russell, the king of all things evil, will rule and lead his little concubine herd to the merge, until-crossing fingers-someone with half a brain, will decide to take him out. Doubtful, since the played hidden immunity idols are back in the game and he will probably find them all buried in the jugle calling to him and will lie in bed with them and stroke them every night .The only ones I trust with this unbearable task-kill the Devil- are J.T and Parvati, who I also can't stand.Yeah, yeah, Parvati and Russell are great players and blah blah, but do you really wanna tune in every week and watch them talk complete rubbish and being ridiculous,without no one,and that is I think the most nerve wracking thing,thinking that they should have thrown them out at the very first tribal council? I know I can't stand it.

Oi, I'm afraid it's gonna be a loooong season!

As for the mutineers, Jerri and Coach, I will only say this : Jerri-I'm giving you 3-4 weeks, tops.Let's see how you like it when Russell, who you trust so much, even though you know nothing about him,will throw you out of the game when you've served your purpose.

Coach - I think Rob's line as he was leaving the tribal council says it all : "You're a little man".
