Probably not but still look at these.
Now a scene from the great but canceled show Surface.Scientists find new creatures of Australian deep
One of Australia's deepest residents a carnivorous sea squirt, or ascidian, standing half a meter tall on the seafloor on the Tasman Fracture Zone at a depth of 4006 metres

Get NME it is a play on acronyms. Damn I kill myself.

Thank you Wikipedia.
First off tomorrow is Single Awareness Day also known as Valentine's Day for couples. If you get some good for you.
Now I've been doing a 9 to 5, 5-day a week class schedule so here are my late reviews.
Surface: Episode 15
The season finale, maybe series finale, picks up with Rich being detained at Iderex(secret creepy lab) where he sees an image of Jackson on a computer screen that says "Sector 1019 Chief", whoa Jackson was working with Iderex.
Meanwhile Miles and family are preaparing to leave while his girlfriend is sent ahead alone. The family makes it to the ferry but the girlfriend gets scooter robbed and knocked out close to Miles' home.
Rich manages not to get killed and uses a cell phone to make his goodbyes.
Miles realizes that his girl is in trouble and jumps ship to find her. At his home he finds his girl and they watch the devastion in Puerto Rico. On th TV they see giant creatures that look like floating debris in the water when suddenly one of them eats the reporter. They know the tsunami is about to hit and drive away.
Laura rescues Rich and the duo make there way to the streets and flag down a car driven by Miles.
Finally all the main characters meet.
Rich takes over driving and the him and Laura meet Nim, there is only time for a quick explanation because the car goes dead as the wave breaks shore. They all run to a church and go up to the steeple as the water rises and medium size sea monsters are looking for human-snacks.
Laura then comments "It's a new world." while looking over a flooded city.
Great show bring it back for a second season!
Scrubs: My Buddy's Booty/Cabbage
Getting a bit cartoonish but having Sarah Chalke and Mandy Moore making out was cool.
Drawn Together
Sick show and cool moments making fun of other cartoons.
Grey's Anatomy: As We Know It
The conclusion from last week when EMT Hannah stuck her hand in a chest to stop the bleeding then panicked and ran away causes Dr. Grey too stupidly stick her hand for the same weak reason. Oh yeah at the same time there is bazooka shell in the man's chest.
Dr. Grey does pull it out and hand it to bomb squad guy(Kyle Chandler of Early Edition fame) when he suddenly blows up into blue mist.
Another cool scene was when Dr. O'Malley dream of having all the ladies taking a shower together came true. Unfortunately it was not sexy instead they were washing the pieces of cop off of Dr. Grey.
Damn the immigrants(all non-NYers) in the subway, they spread their diseases and got me sick.
But I'm back and will do a quick run through of last weeks events starting withe best show on TV SURFACE.
Surface: Episode 14
This was a great episode. Rich is having some odd nightmares that make him the bad guy.
Meanwhile the creatures are off the coast of Puerto Rico at the Caribbean Plate digging and cracking through the Earths mantle.
[ Let me drop some science here. One of the deepest trenches in the world is the Puerto Rican trench and it is highly unstable, for years scientist said if a major earthquake ever hit Puerto Rico the entire island could fall into the trench. Also Puerto Rico is part of the United States.]
Rich and Laura set up a trap for Agent Lee and tell him that he is a clone of the original "Lee". Lee doesn't seem to be all clued in so Rich knocks some sense into him, all Leee reveals is that the release of the creatures is not an accident.
Laura leaves Rich to see her kid and gets taken by Lee but not killed. Rich bust into Iderex, a company that Lee deals with. Rich finds canisters containing 
two of every animal on Earth and a huge facility that is preparing for something big.
Miles sister calls her boyfriend an asshole but it comes out butt wipe. Miles frys the boyfriend during a fight. The police come to get Miles but a mob of parents take him instead. Right before the mob lynches Miles the sheriff informs them a tsunami is heading there way and it already killed 10,000 people in San Jaun, Puerto Rico.
Great episode in everyway. Just one more to go.
TV Guide: Jan. 30-Feb. 5
On the cover Grey's Anatomy and stars Justin Chambers & Katherine Heigl. A four page article talks about their after Superbowl episode. Chambers, Alex on the show, has five kids with his wife Keisha. Heigl is dating singer Josh Kelley.
As usual the subscription copy is slightly different from the on stand issue.
Good Things To Read Inside:
Surface: Episode 13
Well it turns out to be a bad day for everyone. First Rich goes home and finds out his wife has filed for a divorce. Then Miles goes to a town meeting where the locals agree to hunt the sea monsters...hmm that doesn't seem to be a smart choice.
Then we learn the back story of the mysterious scientist who has Laura, she was recruited out of college by a firm that already cloned sheeps in the 1960's. The also have an Archaeopteryx, 
the link between dinosaurs and birds.
After Laura leaves the scientist she and Rich go to trace the money of the "firm" and end up in an abandoned factory where Rich talks to what he thought was a little girl instead it was Chaka from Land of The Lost, 
please people raise the budget for special effects. The creature attacks and confirms what the duo thought. The firm is making animals and can't control them.
Back in Miles' town the locals place a shootout trap for the sea monsters but the creatures instead chomp up the locals until Miles steps in and leads the swarm away.
Mad scientist woman then gets a visit from Agent Lee who tells her you talked now you die, she is allowed to contact her family one last time.
Rich and Laura take a scene from Lost and find a film that partially explains the "firm". On the film from 1957 we see a hike to the mountains and the unknown "firm" leader finding the sea lily on in a crator on the mountain and Agent Lee happily pointing it out.
In the beginning of the season Lee told his woman that the flower was "the future" and knowing he is now at least 70 years old we have more questions then answers.
24: 11:00 AM-12:00PM
Jack is cleared and the spy in CTU and the one in the White House is revealed but it seems that they aren't against the US instead they have an alternate agenda.
Surface: Episode 12
Laura was about to open the door with the bad guys on the other side when Rich came in and snapped into action. After a chase through the hotel Rich confronts on of the agents and beats the crap out of the guy.
It's nice to see how every time you think Rich is mellowing out he goes a little psycho.
Eventually Lauar opens an e-mail from a stranger trying to help her. The person on the other uses an extreme version of Google Earth to take live pictures of Rich and Laura from a satellite. The person then gives the two a phone and some money and fake ID's. The stranger tells Laura to fly off and meet in person. When she does she realizes that the pilot is the stranger.
The stranger is played by Martha Plimpton, of Goonies fame, she is a scientist claiming to be one of 2,500 who helped design this creature.
Meanwhile Miles is trying to help Nim again, deal with a hot-fast-slutty girl and starting to transform into a sea monster.
The creatures seemed to haven't eaten a couple of kids but the world is still mostly ignorant.
Jackson is still missing.
Quote of the Show: "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" when Laura sent a message to her ex via video-mail.
The Simpsons: Homer's Paternity Coot
Most shows that have lasted a long time takes special care not to make mistakes. But in this episode their was an obvious one. When Dr. Hibbard was announcing Homer's real dad there was a continuity error with Mason Fairbank's clothing.
As you see the doctor announces who Homer's father is,
everyone is shocked and Mason has a jacket and shirt.
Then Homer asks who Mason was and the doctor points him out,
and Mason is wearing the sweater from earlier in the episode.
Goofs like this are normal but on such highly rated show. Especially with all the computers now used this error should have been caught.
Cold Case: 8 years
I normally don't watch this show but a slew of Bruce Springsteen songs were used.
It was a very sad and good episode involving a twenty year old murder in New Jersey.
The music added a great element to the show the flashbacking was great.
This show was what Reunion wanted to be but Reunion failed.
Surface: Episode 11
Rich and Laura are out of the water and getting swamped by reporters on the way to the hospital. The duo is trying to outrun the bad guys and at the same time distribute the videotape of the sea monsters. With help from a tech guy they upload the video to the internet and then get an interview with MSNBC.
Laura appears on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Olbermann makes fun of her story and video but the internet freaks are downloading the vid like crazy.
Along with the MSNBC tie-in the duo went crazy when they see McDonald's.
At the hotel Rich and Laura are about to be caught by some men lurking outside the door.
Meanwhile Miles is all better and goes to see Nimrod and brings the creature back to life. The aquarium brings in an all-star egghead team to study Nim. Miles gets blocked out and turns to a little hot troublemaker who turns out to be the lead egghead's daughter.
The daughter gets Miles to break some rules and gets fired. Miles walks away upset and starts causing electrical problems.
In the previews we see Miles transforming into the creature and the animals being found out to be artificial.
Jackson is still missing.
Las Vegas: Bait and Switch
50 diamonds are lost during a rap video shoot and they get recovered in some nasty place.
Hot Chocolate is a male stripper turning everybody on.
And the guy from Enterprise is cheating at craps.
Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet II
Again someone quits, the hot one Gisela. Mostly crap episode.
From last week Primetime: 2005 Caught On Tape
One thing I like about New York is that we don't have our shows interrupted by police chases and airport mishaps.
The rest of the country especially L.A. sees these go-nowhere chases. Luckily in New York we don't have this or cameras in court rooms, I hate Court TV.
Surface: Episode 10
Rich and Laura are on the raft in the middle of the ocean and it's leaking. Jackson is no where to be found but the coast guard finds his ship and there are spent bullet casings everywhere. Twice Rich and Laura fail to attract passing planes attention. They end up in a batch of eggs and when they squeezed one of them and it glowed gooey liquids. They bust open a bunch of the eggs to get a helicopters attention when mama monster came out and nearly ate the helicopter. A second helicopter was called and rescued the duo.
Meanwhile Miles and his sister are left alone again as the parents go off on a working vacation. Miles is getting worse and faints in school he has a 108.3 fever and the doctors are baffled. His sister and friend find Nimrod and take him to the hospital. Nim escapes and licks Miles wound until they're better but Miles dies. Nim is cornered by a guard and killed and suddenly Miles comes back to life. Miles' sister was great in this episode.
That whole scene where Miles gets up from death to hold his dead monsters body was an exact rip-off of ET, when ET dies to save Elliot, but it was still a great scene.
Surface will return with new episodes in January. They are currently filming episode 11 so lets hope they come back just as strong.
Prison Break: End of The Tunnel
C-Note has his reason for breaking out. He is lying to his family about being in the army and with Abruzzi in a helicopter going to some hospital only C-Note can provide transport.
Scofield gives his brother a pill, hidden under his skin, to send him to the doctors office where they will meet up and escape.
If only it was that easy.
They reach under the doctors office to the pipe that Scofield had eroded with acid, oh no but it was replaced with a new thick strong pipe.
That's it they won't be back in May instead they will be back sooner in March.
King of Queens: Raygin' Bulls
Ray Romano comes back playing Ray Barrone, his wife and kids are visiting family while his floors are being redone. Doug invites him over for a wife free weekend and they try to revisit their youths.
Meanwhile Carrie visits her mom's grave and finds out her real name is not Carrie.
What pissed me off about this episode is that Carrie thought for a second she had a sister but her father says no you don't have a sister. The first episode of the show was how Carrie had to kick out her sister to let her father move in. SHE HAD A SISTER FOR THE FIRST SEASON....WHAT HAPPENED?
How I Met Your Mother: The Pineapple Incident
Funny episode with Ted getting drunk and retracing his steps to find who's in his bed. It turns out to be Danica Mckellar, the former Winnie Cooper and current genius-hottie, who is not the mother of his future kids. There are also a few vampire references.
Two and a Half Men: Something Salty and Twisted
Alan learns he is P. whipped and uses alcohol to change his life with no success. Not the funniest which is strange because it usually is the funniest show all week.
Surface: Episode 9
Rich and Laura finally hit bottom in their homemade diving bell. 
They see lots of giant sea monsters mating and laying eggs. Rich is strangely optimistic even though they have no fresh air and a stuck rescue raft. Rich twice sees a man walking on the bottom of the ocean, his brother maybe. Eventually they trick a sea monster into knocking them loose and they inflate a raft and rush to the surface.
Meanwhile around the world the effects of all the sea monsters are interfering with fishermen. A fisherman gets bit then killed by an unseen baby monster. A shrimp boat is coming up empty with an unusually bad shrimp season but they catch a sea monster, I think it was Nimrod.
Miles is learning fast at the aquarium and he goes hunting for Nim. He ends up at a power line and finds a herd of baby sea monsters that eat his kneecaps up. Eventually he finds Nim in his closet and the monster doesn’t seem happy.
As for agent Davis Lee he is looking for Jackson, ignoring the cries for help from Rich and Laura and visiting the mystery man in the garden. He tells the mystery man that they found the sea orchid and it could only be killed using radiation and asks, “What is it?” the man replies “What isn’t it?”. The guy tells Lee about Chimeras.
Chimerism in humans this happens when twins that are not identical, one can be male and the other female, combine in-utero to form one person. The results are a normal person with two sets of DNA a 200% person, they can have a checkerboard pattern on there stomach if the are half black and half white.
In science Chimerism is when scientist take DNA from one species and put it in another to make a new species like plants that glow in the dark because of introduced fish DNA.
Prison Break: Odd Man Out
The mafia guy kills T-Bags brother and nephew, the mafia guy gets all religious and ends up dying at the hands of T-Bag. Scofield is happy because the plan is finished and they leave tonight but his brother is now in lock-up and now that the mafia guy is dead no one is in charge of the work team. Everything has gone wrong and there is only one more episode until late May.
TV Squad's Bob Sassone had an interview with Jay R. Ferguson, Rich on Surface, here.
Basically Ferguson tells Bob that he is working on episode 11 and fallen behind quickly that, that they are working in North Carolina because of their small budget and that it's not fair that people keep writing about Invasion and Threshold while ignoring Surface, whether or not it's to talk good or bad about the new shows.
Surface, Mondays 8pm/ET NBC.
Surface: Episode 8
Miles has to serve community service after his father pulled some strings to help his son. Initially he does trash pick-up on the highway but after a plea from his sister he gets to work at an aquarium instead, he discovers that more eggs are found.
Laura and Rich build a sub with Jackson and rush with the parts and set off to the sea-hole to find proof. Something happen on the surface while Jackson sinks the two and the line is cut. The last scene has the sub free-sinking into the hole while leaking water.
Davis Lee the government agent in charge of covering up is seen at home with his mute-sign language enabled wife. When he was asked about his job he tells her not to ask, when she sees the picture of the Sea Orchid he tells her, “It’s not a flower it’s the future.”.
Prison Break: And Then They Were 7
Scofield gets a visit from his wife to obtain a prison ID badge disguised as a credit card. One of the C.O.s finds out about his green card wife and the credit card.
Meanwhile Veronica and the rest of her little group was taken hostage by the government goon but they turn the tables and trap him in a well. When the lesser goons come to find him they decide to let him rot in the hole.
In prison Charles Westmoreland confess that he is D.B. Cooper and wants in on the escape but now there is only time for six escapes but there are seven members of this cabal.
Remember Vote today, Bloomberg for Mayor, No on Prop.1 & Yes on Prop.2. For all other seats vote for a good mixture of Democrats and Republican just to balance everything out maybe a Green party member but not Independent.
Election Day 2005.
Back to TV.
Surface: Episode 7
Great episode it began with a plane in trouble about to crash because of massive power failure. As we see the plane plunging towards the ocean the clouds open up and a herd of giant see monster are swimming along causing green lightning to shoot around them. It was an incredible shot.
We also learn that the government has known of these creatures for 4 years. They are trying to assess the threat but a secret group has derailed the government plan and are responible for the Docs murder.
Miles sets his sea monster free after a police chase.
The plant found along with the monster was found to be feeding off electricity, could this be a weapon against the monster who generate electricity. Remember it was found with the dead monster, could that be what killed it.
Best written show this season, someone please raise the production budget.
Prison Break: Sleight of Hand
Scofield puts a plan in motion to take back control of a prison section and help an innocent man.
Now these parts are a bit stupid...first he has to have a woman's phone number tattoed on his arm because he can't remember one phone number.
Second he puts three mafia guys in prison and isn't dead the next day.
Third the Vice-President notice her sweepers aren't doing good so she hires another sweeper to fix everything and he is good at his job but doesn't kill everyone fast enough.
Grey's Anatomy: Something to Talk About
Brilliant and funny episode.
A pregnant man, a woman whose heart bursted into flames during surgery and lives, the doctors relationships are defined and Dr. Grey whines some more before getting half a backbone.
I have to watch Rome, Arrested Development, Charmed, Family Guy and American Dad but that's going to have to wait.
I've more or less given up on Desperate Housewives, That 70's Show, King of Queens, How I Met Your Mother and some others.
Surface: Episode 5
Laura last week tagged a monster and now she is tracking it but if she track it so can the government. The beast is moving fast inland and up river into a populated area.
Miles and Phil lost their pet and must track it before animal control and everyone else find out what is going on. They track it to a supermarket and hijinks ensue. They never catch it but little Nimrod finds his way back to Miles bed.
Rich less crazy but still obsessed calls Laura and goes to meet her. His craziness makes her nervous. They go to take pictures of the monster with a crowd of people who think they are seeing a whale but all evidence is deleted by the monsters electric pulse.
Rich is arrested while Cirko takes Laura into the fold.
Great show, getting better.
Lost:...And Found
This was a nice episode, taking place 4 days after opening the hatch. Sun lost her wedding ring and we see the flashback of how she met her husband. We also see the back-of-the-plane-survivors working together to cross the island safely to meet our favorite survivors.
We also see 12 barefoot people, one dragging a teddy bear, all white...maybe The Others.
ER: Wake Up
John Leguizamo takes over Sherry Stringfields abandoned position as the new doctor that will shake up the ER. He's quick and efficient very into modern toys.
There was a public service announcement with Laura Innes, Linda Cardellini and Maura Tierney talking about breast cancer and some tacky scarf on today's episode.
Surface: Episode 4
Miles little pet is now dog-gone hungry and all his friends know.
Rich has gone mad but takes a dip where he lost his brother and finally calms down, even after losing his job and his family for know. Although he everyone thinks he's crazy one of his weird drawings turns out to be something that really exists. So the question is how is he getting hints from his dead brother?
Laura is still struggling with money but she gets and old friend to try to tag on of the monsters. The find a pod of dead Humpback whales and she gets to GPS-tag one monster. They had a mini-marathon today on Sci-Fi, got to rewatch the first episode it is even better the second time around.
Grey's Anatomy: Make Me Lose Control
No abortion but a miscarriage, how convenient. This show is as close to a soap opera that a show can get. Grey's mother is admitted with a benign liver tumor and the whole hospital finds out how far she has fallen from her top doc position.
Gilmore Girls: We've Got Magic To Do
Those evil Huntzbergers are at Rory's party and once again Rory is wussing out, again. Grandma Gilmore is suspicious of Rory's activities. Grandma ripped into Mrs. Huntzberger after finding out the truth, it's a shame they didn't get into a smackdown.
"Surface," 8 p.m. EDT Monday, NBC the best of rest.
After watching Threshold, Night Stalker, Invasion and Supernatural I realized they all suck compared to Surface. The show started out at a undersea vent. A small team of scientist go to investigate a newly found deep hole. The little sub is attacked and the government steps in and find a big bite on the sub. The one person in the sub is single mom/scientist Laura Daughtery, Lake Bell, 26, she has been fired and blacklisted and took a job as a waitress to pay bills but continues to investigate the mystery.
Miles is a teenage boy who with a friend found an egg, brought it home and hatched a little monster. The creature only eats live food and has electrical properties. The creature named Nimrod is all seeking heat.
Richard Connelly a part time diver lost his brother while diving. His brother speared the monster and it dragged him into the blue deep. Richard is now hearing visions of his brother in bodies of water.
Dr. Aleksander Cirko, played by Rade Serbedzijais, 59, the government genius who has possession of a dead monster and is blocking the truth from the public. He tries to laser the dead monster open and has a tough time doing it and one colleague is badly injured. The colleague is splashed with the creatures blood and is miraculously cured.
There are bigger problems, all over the world volcanic activity increases and after sending a probe 35 miles down a volcano's tube we see a glimpse of the monster swimming in lava.
The show is great except for the computer effects, they need either puppets or a bigger budget.
What is truly great is they continue story lines like why can't a laser go through it's skin; answer it lives in the magma under the Earth. Also they show the monster and the effects all the volcanoes are having on Earth.
The scene where a boat gets sucked into a newly formed sinkhole was cheesy looking but a great concept.
It's a freaking lava monster! I hope they answer two questions I have:
King of Queens: Vocal Discord
Typical episode but a pleasant surprise to see 79 year old actress Charlotte Rae as a senior-community actress willing to go topless for a play.
Prison Break: Riots, Drills and the Devil
Great episode I want more. Scofield needs some time to drill so he sets up a lockdown that turns into a prison riot. His brother gets caught with a rookie guard, the brother is knocked out but the guard is going to be used as a stress reliever for horny prisoners.
The governors daughter is the prison doctor and she's trappped in the med bay looking like a steak in front of a pack of hungry dogs.
If that wasn't enough Scofields escape hole was discovered by the rookie guard and the pervert-prisoner.
Damn this was a great episode.
Surface:Episode 2
Speaking of good episodes this show is above and beyond Threshold or Invasion. We see the monster 15 times this episode from the sickly baby to a dead one to a huge beast that eats a small boat from beneath, yes from beneath it devours. A great closing shot even with the sub-par special effects. I'll say this again COMPUTERIZED MONSTER ARE NOT GOOD, USE PUPPETS PLEASE.
Las Vegas: Fake the Money and Run
Still funny and clever.
Charmed, I missed half of yesterdays episode: That made me mad.
The Jets lost: That made me madder.
The Giants lost: That made me maddest.
Chad Pennington is out for the season: I'm not sure that is a bad thing, nope it's bad really bad. Brooks Bollinger, starting quarterback?
Rome: Stealing From Saturn
Good episode. We see more about Caesar, his life, his health and his compassion. We also see Atia’s selfish taken to the next level as she meets Mark Antony.
Surface: Pilot
All over the world some undersea creatures are biting and laying eggs everywhere. Soldiers disappear, a scientist gets confused and a kid gets a pet. Also a diver dies and his partner searches for the truth and this will bring all the non-military characters together.
I’ll hold judgment until I can see this episode on non-fuzzy TV, I watched it with the antenna feed not cable.
Arrested Development: The Cabin Show
The cousin kissing cliff-hanger gets more complicated as a new cousin is introduce.
Funniest of all the shows, just watch it. Check out IMOSCAR.com
Kitchen Confidential: Exile on Main Street
Funny all-star cast, it’s not over the top and was kind of sad at the very end. Frank Langella was there, cool.
Prison Break: English Fitz or Percy
Freakin’ great episode, Scofield is about to be transferred to another prison but that doesn’t stop him from testing the escape plan.
The whole plan is coming together and apparently nothing will bring down his spirit. When you see him on roof you know that his plan will work, he is so calm and unshakable.
King of Queens: Pole Lox
Doug gets Carrie into pole dancing and she is bad. At the end Doug gets on the pole and he’s great.
Not a bad episode.
How I Met Your Mother: Pilot
The show is set in the year 2030 with Bob Saget as the father telling his two kids how he met their mother. We see him meet a woman and fall in love but the cute twist is that she is the aunt of his kids.
Two and a Half Men: Weekend in Bangkok with Two Olympic Gymnasts
Just funny slapstick, vulgar and dead pan humor. I like it.
Out of Practice: Pilot
A bad, bad, bad Wonderfalls remake. We have two doctor parents, an over-egoed brother and a lesbian sister. Plus the odd-ball kid who just got dumped. There was a genital mutilation joke and some off-colored remarks as they try to shock.
Monday Night Football: New York at New Orleans at New York
The game was as weird as it was sad, and I don’t mean Katrina sad. The Saints always are bad but they just never had a chance. The constant asking for help and the phone stars was sad, once again pathetic sad not crying sad.
GIANTS WON, YEAH!!! 27-10
I watched all of these shows one after the other it’s great.
