Monday Shows

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.

Oprah Deserves Her On Blog

Not because she is great but because she gets away with so much crap.

They repeat the show in the wee hours of the night and I leave it on just to here voices. Usually she has someone who was molested and they go into commercials showing clips of her laughing with some celebrity. Oprah does this constantly, she has a person crying and a scroll underneath about her Jordan interview.

Today during her favorite things show she completely annoyed me by giving away a video iPod, but that wasn't what bothered me. Instead someone added an obviously fake video on top of the iPod. It was an episode of Lost that was clear and perfect, the real iPod Lost video would look half as good. There was no small print saying this was a false image but a tech person can tell, if you've never seen the video iPod you will be disappointed if you purchased the iPod based on this clip. They did the same with the Sony Vaio, no disclaimers of a false image.

Oprah is so powerful she often conducts half of an interview or gets facts wrong with little consequences. I don't care that much because the good she does out weighs her ignorance but that clip was just too funny.

Is It Thanksgiving Yet?

If you watch TV you'll never know.

Supernatural: The Journey Home
Finally saw this episode and I must say it was the best all season. The brothers go back to their childhood house and help a family with some ghosts. We see their dead mom and she helps with the ghost busting. Also a psychic name Missouri who is actually quite good is keeping the father secret from the brothers.
Finally the got rid of the lost father storyline, instead he is running from his kids until he can work out his problems. The shows getting better.

Desperate Housewives: The Sun Won’t Set
The engagement is off and the bad guy is caught. Gabrielle grieves her baby with the help of actor Danny Trejo.

Grey’s Anatomy: Thanks For The Memories
Dr. “Nazi” Bailey is getting demeaned by some part-timer. Dr. O’Malley goes hunting turkey with his family. Joe the bartender is invited to the Thanksgiving Day festivities and brings a pie and his Asian boyfriend but no liquor. Dr. Grey is at work sulking and whining again, I must accept that this is who she is. Dr. Webber failed the boards medical exam. A guy wakes up from a 16 year coma and is fine and dandy, cough…bad medicine…cough, except that his family moved on without him.

I’m very disappointed that only one show has a Thanksgiving episode, holidays are disappearing from TV thanks to the idiotic sensitivity groups, also I noticed that in Lost not one holiday as been celebrated or mentioned.

Congrats to the Giants still tied for first, but I’ll miss Herman Edwards because the Jets suck, injuries not withstanding.

Surface Interview on TV Squad

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.

Either way Jor-El still tells Clark someone close to him will die. Cough…Chloe…Cough.

This was Ashton Kutcher final regular appearance.

Freddie: The Italian Job

While this show isn't funny it was the only thong on besides the tribute to Johnny Cash, Walk The Line, I flipped back and forth.

Lost: The Other 48 Days
We see how the back of the plane survivors lived for the first 47 days. Mister Eko killed two of the others and Goodwin was one of the others. Eko took a forty day vow of silence and Ana finally cried after forty days. They quickly moved the story all the way to the point Shannon was shot. We learned from Goodwin that the abductees may not be dead especially the kids. We assume that they are killed or hurt Goodwin suggests that they may be taken to help.

Invasion: The Cradle
Mariel is feeling weird and she goes to the lagoon and sees her old dead carcass in the water to the stun of her and her hubby. It's getting a bit more interesting.

Crap I missed Veronica Mars I have start TiVoeing this show, oh well at least they repeat it on Sundays.

Tuesday Shows

Bones: Man In The Wall
During a ridiculous fight in a club Bones discovers a mummified DJ and must find out what happened. During one creepy stomach turning scene Bones strips the flesh off of the dead mans hand and wears it as a glove to get fingerprints. To counter this scene we later see a plaster cast made by the boy at age 5 to give him more of a soul.
Of course the killer is found at the end but we see how insensitive Bones really is.

House: Spin
After last week’s great but depressing episode we get more cheery in this one. Sela Ward is back and House gets all jealous and snippy with her recovering husband. I fell asleep through a part of it but woke up in time to see the team cure their patient.
Oh for those Tom Lenk fans he was in this episode as a guy who got chronic diarrhea from chewing too much sugarless gum.

Law & Order: SVU: Starved
Dean Cain played a manipulative rapist with a wussy wife. This episode was filled with stars from dead TV shows, some of them are Who’s The Boss, Six Feet Under, Lois & Clark, and Grace Under Fire. Nice to see actors don’t die they just go to Law & Order. Back to the story line at the end the wussy wife dies and the rapist is going to go free and get millions from her insurance.

My Name Is Earl: Joy’s Wedding
Funny episode. Joy is getting married, white trash style, and Earl shows up drunk and ruins it. He tries to make it up to her and ends up sleeping with her. Now he has to make it up to Darnell. After a quick pep talk Earl shows Darnell that Joy is a skank but one that is in love with Darnell. The wedding was cool but the music was great. Just Bust A Move.

I will watch Gilmore Girls and Supernatural later.
