Heroes — OK, so I’m officially bored with this show. I tried to be excited about it, but it’s pretty bad when I consider not watching and reading a recap instead. Maybe I should have. The only “new” hero I find the least bit appealing is Kristen Bell, and she was only in the promo! How cool, though, was it to see her in the promo for tonight’s episode? OK, I take that back. I thought Micah’s cousin — can’t even remember her name — had a cool power when revealed during the robbery scene, but I totally wanted to kill her brother whenever he was on the screen. And I’m getting a little miffed that these new heroes are taking time away from the ones I already know and love, like Peter and Nikki. Can’t wait for next week’s episode, though, simply to see Veronica Mars, er, Kristen Bell on TV again.
Bionic Woman — How much fun was it to see Michelle Ryan kick the crap out of Isaiah Washington this week? He he. I thought this episode set up a nice conflict for coming episodes. Now we know Sarah and Jamie are both dying and need to find Will’s files to update their bionics. A lot was revealed in this episode, and I think the momentum of the show is building at a nice pace. This show is becoming a favorite. I must admit, however, that I really miss the cheesy sound effects from the original. Come on, just one little da-na-na-na as she runs? Please?
Smallville — This was the episode of “Smallville” I’ve been looking forward to since it was announced Dean Cain was guesting this season. I have to give props to Cain for some superb acting in this episode. He was totally evil! It was almost easy to forget that he once donned the tights and cape himself. I loved his scenes with Lex. Laura Vandervoort is also really growing on me as Kara/Supergirl. I’m most intrigued by her character this season, and I think the writers are doing a great job with the whole is-she-or-isn’t-she-evil hook. Honestly, I could care less about Lana or her “secret.” That story has been played out a thousand times, imo. I’m also glad to see Jimmy/Chloe call it quits, for now. I just haven’t caught onto Jimmy’s character since he came to “Smallville.” Here’s hoping we see more Chloe/Lois/Clark adventures now.
Flash Gordon — I failed to comment on this show last week, but yes, I’ve been trying to watch it too. I thought the pilot was horrible, but I think it’s a show that is improving, slowly. There have been a few episodes I liked, but it seems to be hit and miss every week. I thought last week’s episode (Flash being given the love potion) was a little campy and I loved Eric Johnson’s performance, but it wasn’t an episode I loved. I think the cast of this show is awesome once I got used to the difference in the characters from the film version. The writing needs a definite overhaul, and I think a consistent director might inject life into it as well. I’m hoping Sci-fi sticks with it, but I’m not optimistic a second season will happen. Too bad. The concept had a lot of potential.
Supernatural — OK, another one I didn’t comment on because I don’t consider Sam and Dean to be conventional superheroes, but they do have their own comic book now. So … I thought last week’s episode was the best of the new season. I loved the introduction of Bella — grr, and I say that grudgingly since I was determined to hate both her and Ruby. Ruby I also like because I totally wasn’t expecting her to be a demon. I was totally expecting another bad-acting Jo, but thankfully, these two actresses rock. But, I digress. What a fun episode this was. I loved the playful acting by Jared Padalecki every time his luck got worse and worse after he lost the rabbit’s foot. And I loved that Dean kept taking advantage of Sam’s good luck when he had the rabbit’s foot to win the lottery, only to have that money stolen by Bella in the last scene. His reaction was so funny. I love this show!
