I'm skipping Castle this week. I watched it, and it was good, but my roommate came in and talked to me for like fifteen minutes and I was very distracted. I'd like to watch it again, but that seems like an even bigger waste of my time than the way I already waste my time, and I'm just a little too stressed out for that. So I will simply post the notes I took while watching, typos and all, and leave it at that.
Castle - Season 2, Episode 5: "When the Bough Breaks". Original Air Date: 19 Oct 09
He's late so they tease him.
He's pretty distracted thinking about his upcoming launch party.
Candy wrapper.
"Mmm, kinda tastes like soap. I like it."
postcards in home
Alexis is excited to go.
Certain British spy. WHOO? I've probably never heard of him.
My roommate came in and distracted me for ten-ish minutes. Oops. Something about the kid she babysat or something.
They arrest a Czech man, the victim's ex-husband, but he thinks they were chasing him as immigration cops.
There's a woman that they didn't get to interview on their first go-around, and she says that the night of the victim's murder, she recalls seeing the victim arguing with a man; the artists' rendering looks an awful lot like someone they already know.
So they talk to this doctor - he's the husband of the woman they interviewed, the father of the kid the victim was giving candy to. Apparently, they were having an affair. But what else?
Launch party! Did you read the dedication? "To the extraordinary KB and all my friends at the 12th."
"You are extraordinary."
"can I close the deal, already?"
"What if the wife got onto the affair?"
They fight. British secret agent or new Nicky Heat novel? Hmmm...
WHAT AN AMAZING PLOT TWIST
not enough alexis in this ep.
"That was Esposito. There's been a murder. Are you coming or not?"
Oh, yeah, and guess what?? Some good news about the show!
Tomorrow? Last night's Glee. And Fringe is taking a break until 5 Nov. Yay -.-
Heroes - Season 4, Episode 4: "Hysterical Blindness". Original air date: 12 Oct 09.
The focus of this episode is mostly on Claire, Peter, the carnies, and Sylar.
Sylar can't remember anything at all, and he was picked up by the police. Eventually, he was ID'd as a murderer and he has to escape, which is when he discovers his powers. Claire has to deal with a stalkerish roommate, but Invisibitch, as Vigg calls sorority girl Rebecca, is making it seem a lot worse than it really is. Gretchen, on the other hand, isn't trying to kill any one who gets close to Claire, she's just crushing real hard. Turns out Rebecca is with the carnies, and she's trying to 'push' Claire to join them, but Sylar gets there first.
And then there's Peter and his deaf friend who sees music. Poor Peter: he's been feeling so estranged from everybody lately, and he's finally acting on some advice to reconnect with his family, but all his mother can think about is Nathlar [makes sense, since he's been missing and all, but still, poor Peter :( ]. He saves the deaf woman from being hit by a bus and absorbs her power, and that's when he can start to forge a connexion with her. I liked that story-line. It's cute, and I feel bad for the deaf woman, and I can't wait to see where that goes. The episode ends with Hiro showing up and then passing out in Peter's apartment! ><;; Claire said, "I have been chasing normal life forever" lol something tells me it won't be so normal for long [and by the end of the episode, I'm pretty much proven right].
I'm really excited for the Sylar story arch, and, well, all of them. I can't wait to see what happens to everybody, to meet new characters, and to see Invisibitch get hers [something tells me that will take a while]. This is the season we've been waiting for. No joke. Start watching.
**I'm naming the episode numbers by the "Chapter __" in the beginning of each episode. That two-hour season premiere screws it all up.
House - Season 6, Episode 4: "Instant Karma". Original air date: 12 Oct 09.
In this episode, Foreman and Chase have to own up to the death of James Earl Jones in the previous episode, while treating a young boy who seems to have no hope. The father of the boy is distraught, fearing that his financial success has lead to his son's immenent death: karma. In one fell swish of the pen, he signs away his entire life, every dollar, and then House miraculously has his trademark epiphany [while making a Grinch reference!], and the day is saved.
There was a scene with Thirteen in the cab, and the cabbie gets upset with her for not trusting him. I liked that part. It's true: you never know who the other person is, and sometimes, maybe you should give them the benefit of the doubt. It really sucks how Chase has to keep lying to Cameron [I say Cameron because it really bothered me in the previous episode how he kept calling her his 'wife'. Okay, sure, they're married, but really, everyone knows who 'Cameron' is, so you don't need to say 'wife']. It was also funny when she called him Robert.
House is still the same old biting character, but not as biting, which is mildly annoying... But he has good depth and he's still as interesting as ever... if that makes sense.
Watching Chase trying to own up to his crime was so sad!
Something I've noticed: WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE FIRST NAMES FOR LAST NAMES? It's not like I'm just figuring this out now, but, Chase, Cameron, Wilson, okay, that's really it, but it's still very annoying. It makes hearing their first names even more awkward.
All in all, a nice episode, but I wasn't as connected as I was last week.
