More Thoughts
Just I'd write about a few of my Thoughts on TV at the moment.
Firstly, Desperate Housewives, I have to say that I think it has remained brilliant after the strike but I just watched the two part finale last night and I think I preferred season threes closing episodes. I'm going to re-watch it on C4 when it airs, so I'll know for sure in my review. The five year jump at the end was really interesting, probaly my favourite part of the episode. Bones has been really, really good lately. I've even said that Brennan is perhaps one of my favourite TV show characters ever. The latest episode I saw 'The Verdict In The Story' was excellently written, great twist at the end.
Brothers and Sisters, I actually am really enjoying the second series, much more than the first. With Justin's addiction coming to a head, Kitty and Roberts wedding approaching (Next episode for me) and Sarah's battle for her kids, its been really entertaining. I haven't been able to watch Six Feet Under in a few months due to the DVD being faulty, hopefully I'll be able to get a new one soon. The episode 'That's My Dog' has to be a season four highlight so far.
The ER finale was good, didn't feel very finale like but the cliff-hanger end was a good one, who's dead after the ambulance accident? Ugly Betty has been a very on/off show for me, sometimes I like, sometimes I hate it. But from the episode 'Odour In The Court' onwards, it is starting to get good again. The episode I mentioned but one of the funniest of the entire series.
One Tree Hill was brilliant before the strike with 'You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side' and 'Hundred'. These just were exactly why I watch the series, seemed real and believable. But then it suffered a massive drop with the next episode, which basically was an hour of boring talk and soppiness.
Like to mention the Skins series two finale, which I loved. I'm a huge fan so I bought the DVD the day after it came out. Doctor Who has been great this series, have loved Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, hilarious. The latest episode 'The Unicorn and The Wasp' was great, really funny. Lost has been pretty average, imo. I'm starting to tire of the story, I'm losing interest.
YAY, I finished for the summer yesterday and can finally get down to some new box sets I've bought (I know .....how sad) I'm half way through Gilmore Girls season one, which I'm liking. I then have, Dead Like Me season one, Veronica Mars season one and a show called The Dead Zone to test. Along with series two and three of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, a lot of House episodes and I plan on re-watching all my other collections. Plus, Grey's anatomy is back! Starts on RTE two on the 3rd of June, I have seen some of these episode, but not for ages, so I can't wait!
So these are my views, my summer isn't going to just consist of TV but I'm gonna watch as much as I can until school restarts!
Tv, Tv, Tv
I just wanted to give a blog on what I think of some of my TV shows now, first, Heroes, I have to say I thought that I would disagree with people that its gone downhill but sadly, I completely agree. in fact, the most recent episode on here was 'Out Of Time' which according to the votes was the best in season 2 so far, I thought it was actually the worst. I found myself bored after the first ten minutes, the only good part was the end of the Hiro in the past story, because that was dragging on. Then there is season 4 of Lost, which I think had a brilliant first five episodes, than we got to 'The Other Woman' and was kind of like, what did that have to do with Lost? We got a Juliet love story ... 'Ji Yeon' was much better but to be honest the whole Michael thing was very predictable, but maybe that was the point? I plan on watching the last episode until April today, I'm hoping it will be good but the votes are giving me a good sign.
Six Feet Under (Which of course I'm watching on DVD) is very good, season three has really impressed me, bar the premier which I was under whelmed with. One Tree Hill, I have to say I'm only watching because I want to see what happens to them, I don't think it is that good, the episode 'In Da Club' for me, was one of the worst episodes of the entire show, I was watching some season 3 the other day and I must say that it was ten times better, I hope season 5 picks up or I'll probably give up.
Desperate Housewives is just as good as ever, very funny but can do drama very well. 'Something's Coming' was really good, the ending was shocking, but unlike American viewers were getting the next episode the week after ... which I'm happy about.
Finally we have my favourite show, the brilliant Skins! I must admit the first two episodes were good but didn't feel like the Skins I saw in season 1, but then it picked up and I haven't been disappointed since, Sid's episode had a big shocker and was done very well. Michelle was also funny and had an interesting turn of events. Chris's episode (Which could have been my favourite yet) was really enjoyable, it made me like Jal more, Tony and Effys episodes were also great. So Skins really is at the moment my saving grace, just watched the pilot of Gilmore Girls and it was actually quite funny, might give the next episode a watch. I also watched the Dirty Sexy Money pilot on C4, it was good, not the best pilot I've seen but it did enough to make me watch again!
Grey's Season 3
I realy don't understand why some people have a problem with the last few episodes of Season 3 of Grey's Anatomy. Sure the private practice episodes weren't good but the Greys bits in them were brilliant as always. I personally don't think it's any less good then in season1 and think that a number of season 3 episodes are highly underated. But oh well I just hope some people agree with me!!
