I know it's been a while since I last blogged on here, but this site really isn't what it used to be! I finished 1st year college last month. It was definitely a big year for me. Made new friends, but lost some old ones. But I guess that always happens...

End of Season Reviews
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2

Season 2, though not as consistent as the first, was still pretty great! It had some VERY strong episodes and some weak ones of course. The season started off very strong, the first 7 or 8 episodes showed a lot of promise. Unfortunately things started slipping a little mid season. These weak episodes were still a lot better than some of the best episodes produced by some shows this year though! Thankfully the show redeemed itself in the last 6 episodes, with some of the best television of the season. Cameron, as per usual, stole the show. She is most definitely the glue that holds this show together. The story of the three dots was a little confusing, and at times a little silly. However the addition of Weaver was one of the best things about the season. She was played to perfection by Shirley Manson, who maintained that creepily cold feeling through every single scene. I'm devastated that the show was cancelled, but I can't say I didn't see it coming.
Best Character: Cameron
Best Episode: Born to Run. Easily the best season finale this year. Best episode of the entire series. That creepy bedroom scene between John ad Cameron was...so....weird! The ending showed what a great third season the show could have had too.

Smallville Season 8

Smallville season 8 was a good improvement over the previous disastrous season, though not the best yet. I loved the whole new feel to the show, and watching Allison Mack take on lead female was a delight. Davis and Tess were great additions to the cast, and the writers dealt with the departure of Lana and Lex surprisingly well. Not being an Oliver fan, I was really annoyed by his constant presence this season. The first half of the season was consistent enough, though there were one or two doozies in there, like Toxic. I loved Bride and Legion which showed what great things the writers could come up with if they actually tried hard enough. The second half was a lot weaker than the first, but the Chloe 'Beauty and the Beast' story was an entertaining twist. The season finale was a bit of a letdown and lacked the power that Smallville finales usually have. That being said the season did see an increase in standard over season 7, though I have my doubts over their ability to carry it on into season 9.
Best Character: Chloe. Duh!
Best Episode: Tie between Bride and Legion

Desperate Housewives Season 5

Wow. What a letdown. After an amazing fourth season, this show just became dull, repetitive and just plain annoying. Bree, once one of the greatest characters, became boring and b*tchy. Lynette's storylines just seemed to happen over and over again. Believe in your husband for God's sake! Susan's love triangle was completely ridiculous and dragged out. Despite that, seeing Gaby as a mother was hilarious, and I found myself enjoying her storylines a lot more this season. It was nice to have the old Gaby back by the second half of the season though. The Dave mystery was the most predictable one yet. Yet the writers had him featured in every episode, plaguing the show till the end of the season. Edie's death was a TERRIBLE loss to the show. I really hope to see a big improvement next year. Among those things, can the mystery be connected to Gaby or Lynette for once??
Best Character: Gaby
Best Episode: If it's only in your head. Solely due to the scene with Susan trying to protect MJ.

Thanks for reading! I've been checking up on a few other reviews posted by other users. Keep em' coming! Ttfn...( Get the Buffy Reference anyone?!)

Joss has done it again. I can now say that I am totally enamoured with Dollhouse. This weeks' episode was without a doubt the strongest so far. Some people may not have been as impressed as I was. However, IMO it kicked some serious ass.

Dollhouse 1.06 - Man on the Street

Starting with the best part: Mellie. Joss had me nearly screaming that she was going to die, and then pulled this one off. I'm totally psyched to see what's going to happen there. Then Sierra's plot which was almost as good. Although I'm sad to say it was pretty obvious who was responsible from the start. Still, it didn't stop my enjoyment of it one bit. I'm really curious to see where this romance with Victor will go, or if it will even go anywhere at all. I love seeing Echo develop more and more, and seeing here become more aware of the changes around her and becoming concerned about her fellow dolls. Her line "Sierra cries" just made me love her. I really can't explain why though! Also Joss' with was there too. Eliza's "Porn!" pointing at the bed, made me lmfao! Then there's the mole. Who the hell is it?! I have a theory it's Topher's little helper, but I'm not completely convinced. . .

Joss is back! I tried not to get too attached, as the show may not live for much longer, but I couldn't help myself. I'm hooked!

In other TV news: Heroes bad, Smallville good! Well, kinda good. Well, more like above average! The dark storyline with Davis is the main reason to watch nowadays. The news of a character dieing has got me toally freaked out for Chloe. I'm really not sure if I'll keep watching if the writers are stupid enough to have her killed. Desperate Housewives continues to bore. It's really the worst its ever been. Lost is great. It feels weird to say that, but it's true Medium still proves to be a very consistent show. I love the new season. Gossip Girl came back this week and I realised how much I had missed it too

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Why, hello there. Again, I'm back for a blog after a small absence, but just because I'm mute, doesn't mean I'm not around and reading blogs! Life is still crazy, but things are starting to settle a bit.

Right now, I'm being overloaded with a TV "must watch" list. I'm miles behind on Battlestar Galactica, and House. I'm just about up to date on Heroes and Terminator though. This week saw the return of one of the most entertaining TV shows out there right now, America's Next Top Model. Here's a rundown of the girls.

Allison - She has something special. Those eyes are spellbinding. She's definitely the Marjorie/Heather of the cycle! And I LMFAO when she went to the wrong spot at judging!

Aminat - Again, she has something special. Her height is both her strength and her weakness. I'm interested to see what she will pull out of the bag.

Celia - My favourite girl so far. I love everything about her. Here's hoping she'll go far!

Fo - She's gorgeous, and a great model. I can't wait to see a high fashion shot of her, just to see how she'll pull it off. She seems a like a great person two. She'll be my 2nd fave after Celia!

Jessica - She has an idea of what a model should do, and tries to imitate that. I'm not seeing a model yet.

Kortnie - The spelling of the name makes me roll my eyes, but she has a bit of potential. Let's see where it goes.

London - Definitely a strong contender. I'm liking her.

Natalie - Who? Nothing interesting at all.

Nijah - I see some potential, but I doubt she'll make it far. Then again, maybe she'll impress me next week.

Sandra - The b*tch diva of cycle 12. She'll be bringing a lot of drama during the cycle, so chances are she'll be here for a while.

Tahlia - Don't get me wrong, she's pretty, I just don't believe a designer will actually book her FOR her scars. She'll be lucky to find one that will go to the effort of bothering to hide them.

Teyona - She has a lot of potential to do well. I'll be keeping my eye on her.

Eliminated: Isabella - Not surprised. Her photo was one of the weakest, and I didn't see her getting far.

Dollhouse

I was sooo excited for Dollhouse to begin. However, like most others, I was a little let down. The first episode was a 7/10, the second 8/10 and the third (solely for the expansion of the overall mystery) 8.5/10. The main component missing IMO is the characters. The main thing I loved about Buffy, Firefly and Angel, was the characters. Dollhouse so far, doesn't have characters that make the show interesting, though for me I see Sierra emerging as a likeable character. I do think it's a little unfair to compare the show to the other 3, as they are completely different, but I'm not as happy with it as I thought I would be. But I know it will get better as it goes along. I just hope people give it the chance it deserves, because if the ending of the episode is anything to go by, it's gonna be amazing. I have complete faith in Joss Whedon. Let's hope Fox feel the same!

Other Shows

T:TSCC is weakening, but I still love it. I don't think it has a lot of time left though, so I hope it can go out with a bang. Grey's season 5 is pretty blah, though Melissa George was a nice breath of fresh air. Medium is still a consisten performer. It's an improvement over the drab closing to the fourth season. Ugly Betty is still lots of fun. Season 3 is a lot better than the previous season. Lost is getting confusing again. It's gonna need a bit more of an explanation to keep me motivated. Heroes: Fugitives is as weak as ever. Not surprising though, I wasn't expecting much.

Thats it for now. I'll be around to try to get onto me! I miss some of the people on here...TTFN!

Hey guys, so I guess its been a while. Again. Like I said in my last blog, my life is a lot different now. Im getting used to it though.

VM Movie News

As you've all probably seen by now, the movie is getting more and more likely. This is great news. I'm trying sooo hard not to get my hopes up, but it probably won't work! Though, Im still adament that a TV movie or mini series would be better. But hey, as long as its Veronica I'm game!

Smallville

I was pleasantly suprised by season 8 of Smallville, as things started to turn around. The show got less ridiculous, and started tidying itself up. Plus, all that Chloe screentime is just the bestest thing eva! Unfortunatley after the brilliant 'Legion' things just spiralled out of control again. Power was one of the most ridiculous episodes I have seen of the show. Ever. I'm not goiing anywhere though. I've been rewatching the entire series, and loving it. The first four seasons were amazing.

I loved the 100th episode of Desperate Housewives! It was so sweet. Season 5 is still kinda boring though. Im still waiting for Terminator to return. I feel so lost without it! Ugly Betty season 3 is really great, and just as funny as ever! Battlestar Galactica is really great, but I much preferred 4x13 over 4x14. And also ANTM is back in less than a month! yay! And Medium is back this week! Yay-er! I hope that Season 5 is better than the weakness of the second half of season 4.

In other news, Diana Vickers got signed with RCA. Bring on the album!

Sorry about the shortness of this blog. I just wanted to let you all know, I'm not dead! Have a good weekend everybody.

Well 2008 is nearly over. So to commemorate, here is a list of my favourite shows of the year.

Top 10 Shows - 2008
10. Hollyoaks

Im not a big fan of the show, as I only just got into it a few months ago. It got extremely addictive. Niall's Revenge is what got me interested in the show in the first place. I love how light it is compared to a lot of other soaps. Carmel is Hilarious!

09. The X Factor

I'm putting this one on my list only because of one thing: Diana Vickers. I'm still angry at her elimination. Hallelujiah is her song,a nd does not belong to that other, ahem, girl. Its way too over performed. I hope to see a lot from Diana in the new year.

08. Rome

Another new discovery. It has superb acting, some of the darkest stories ever seen on TV, and a brilliant finale. Overall this series had it all. The second season was far superior to its first. I have to say though, I will never get over Irene's death *cries*!

07. Gilmore Girls

This was definitley the year of Gilmore over in Ireland and the UK due to E4's decision to air it. I can see that a lot of channels are probably kicking themselves for missing it in the first place.

06. Bones

I finally got a chance to see the tail end of season 3, and I was blown away. The show is still strong. I was a little disturbed by the finale, in a good way though. I will miss Zach

05. Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl is really starting to get the regegnition it deserves. Season 2 is still great. The end of season 1 still is leaps and bounds over it though.

04. House

What can I say. Season 4 was probably the best the show had. If not for someone ruining the end for me, it would have been even better! The first half was great fun, with him choosing a final team. One member just annoys me to death though. Amber was one of the best characters ever! The bets in the show without question.

03. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I got the chance to rewatch the entire series and I now have even more appreciation for it. It will never be forgotten. People still talk about it and its been over nearly 6 years!

02. Desperate Housewives

This is nuber 2 not because of S5, but because of the 4th season, which was probably the best season yet. I hope 2009 will bring about better episodes and pull the show back up to this standard.

01. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The show of the year for me. I've loved every episode that I've seen so far. Summer Glau and Lena Heady OWN the show!

Happy New Year
