Stargate Atlantis Season 4 Premier "Adrift"

What an awesome start to season 4!! Full of suspense and emotion. The only thing that bugged me was that it was "To Be Continued..." Ugh! Going to the Replicators homeworld is a suicide mission but they are dead anyway unless they can get more power. Plus, Rodney activating the Replicator nanities in Elizabeth's body in order to save her life may end up biting them in the butt. I guess I will just have to wait until next Friday to see how things work out.

Heroes 2.1 Four Months Later

Heroes Season two premiered on Monday, September 24th, 2007. Despite all the excitement and anticipation of the new season, I was sorely disappointed.
Episode 2.1, Four Months Later, was confusing. In the season finale, we were left with all the main characters in the square in New York watching Nathan fly Peter into the atmosphere, where Peter then exploded, in order to save New York from a nuclear disaster. It then picks up four months later, everyone living their own lives and giving no indication to what happened right after Peter "died".
I know that Tim Kring has a way of taking you forward, then back, then forward again, but personally I don't think the season premier lived up to the finale. The only story line that wasn't confusing was the one that followed Hiro as he went back in time to find Kenesai. The other story lines following Matt Parkman, The Bennetts, The Petrellis, and Mohinder Suresh, you had to read-between-the-lines and sort of figure out what must have happened to these people in the four months since they narrowly escape disaster. Plus, introducing the new character of the young Mexican girl, with a terrible power she can't control, seemed out of context. It seemed like they just threw her in for the heck of it. Now, the introduction of the boy who can fly fit into the story line and plot since they introduced him as one of Claire's new classmates who has shown an interest in Claire.
Another confusing factor was the introduction of the symbol that in season one was connected with Kenesai, which was considered good but is now being associated as "evil" due to the fact that Molly, the little girl that can find other people with powers and who Matt Parkman saved from Sylar in season one, is having nightmares about a man and the symbol is linked to this man. Also, at the end of the episode, we see Peter locked in a large container and he has no idea who or what he is. The only link is that same symbol hanging around his neck.
I'm hoping that Tim Kring will shed more light on everything in episode 2.2, Lizards, instead of just building on and then go back to explain things right before the winter hiatus.

It looks like little Ben may be following in Dean's footsteps. Hmm... wonder if his mamma wants to confess something??

Entertainment Weekly's Fall Preview

I'm standing in line at the checkout at my local Safeway last night and right in front of my face is Entertainment Weekly's Special Double Fall Preview issue so I grab it to check if Supernatural was even mentioned. Last year, you were lucky if you saw even a brief nod in Supernatural's direction. I flip the pages to find one paragraph. That was it, one paragraph. In this paragraph, they mention that Eric Kripke said that since Dean only has one year to live, his hedonistic tendencies are going to become more pronounced. That's just code for sex, sex, and more sex.

The introduction of two new female characters was also mentioned. One is supposedly a supernatural bounty hunter and a thief and the second is a hunter. All I know is that the actresses they pick better be able to convey "bad ass" better than Alona Tal when Kripke introduced Jo.

Jo is one of the most hated characters by the fan base at large due mostly to the fact that Jo was portrayed by actress Alona Tal. When you look at Alona Tal - 5'5', 105 pounds soaking wet with tiny spaghetti arms - it's hard to believe that she could kick an ant's butt let alone a demon's. When introducing strong female characters it's hard to convince the audience that she can kick butt and take names when the actress is blonde with big boobs and a perfect manicure. That just isn't reality. It's some man's weird fantasy. I think the fan base would respect or at least tolerate these new characters if they are introduced as pivotal characters needed to progress the plot and not just as eye candy used to up the male viewership. The character of Ellen, Jo's mother, portrayed by actress Samantha Ferris is a perfect example of a strong woman who moves the plot forward and does an excellent job of convincing the audience that she can kick butt and take names -particularly Dean's. (Just in case you think that I'm spewing about this because Dean and Sam are two hot guys and I'm a woman, I feel the exactly same about introducing new male characters as well.) Women who have pulled off tough yet sexy in a realistic way is 1) Jennifer Garner, 2) Jessica Alba, 3) Mila Jovovich, 4) Ali Larter & 5) Kristanna Loken. However, Kristanna Loken does have the big boobs thing going on and wardrobe does work that to her advantage. Sometimes I wonder that she doesn't fall out of her blouse while delivering a roundhouse kick to a bad guy's mid-section.

Last year was a real roller coaster for the boys. Not only do they lose John but John's secret about Sam comes out and the Yellow Eyed Demon plays his hand, almost succeeding in turning Sam evil in order to create a hell on earth. Dean's journey last year was very introspective and he had to put a lot of perspective on his roll in life and as Sam's older brother. I hope that Eric Kripke and his writing team doesn't try to gloss over Dean's sacrifice for Sam with lame porno jokes and sex. They need to concentrate on how to undo the deal Dean made with the demon since the show is about the Winchester Brothers. As much as I adore Jared Padalecki as an actor, I don't think he has the emotional depth to carry the show alone. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki make an awesome acting duo and you can't have one without the other. I guess we will find out about the next stage of the boys' lives when Supernatural airs on Thursday, October 4th on The CW Network.

Medium

Last season, I fell behind with my updating Medium but what a season finale! It ended with a bang as Allison was exposed by someone she believed to be her friend. (Deliciously played by Neve Campbell.)

News is that it will return with all new episodes in January but the bad news is that I think it will be exclusively online. This whole "all television networks going digital" is wreaking havoc with my viewing schedule. Do the network execs think that everyone one owns a computer or better yet, knows how to use it? My mom is going to be up you-know creek without a paddle when I move next year. She barely knows how to navigate out Directv menu.

Anyhow, if you do have a computer (duh... you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't) and know how to use it, keep an eye out for all new Medium.

Updates

Wow! Time sure flies when you're... um... not... really having fun but just real busy. It's almost time for the new fall television season and I'm so excited! Supernatural returns on October 4th, Heroes returns on September 24th, Stargate Atlantis returns on September 28th with Amanda Tapping joining the cast, Ghost Hunters returns on September 26th and that is all I am up with right at the moment. Battlestar Galactica returns in November but I don't remember the date right off the top of my head. If you can't tell, I'm addicted to the SciFi channel.

Of course, the show that I'm most excited about is the return of Supernatural. There was some debate this last spring about whether or not it was going to be renewed for a third season but all is well, at least for now. I don't read spoilers so all I know is that there is going to be some major changes in Sam and Dean's life, especially since Dean made a deal and only has one year to live. I can't wait to see what Eric Kripke and his writing staff have up their sleeves and I hope that they can keep the ball rolling yet still maintain the excellence of writing.
