I’m doing these piece-meal, so deal with it.
Entourage: The All Out Fall Out – I could not believe that the young punk agent let Ari bitch-slap him and didn’t try to take him down. Ari is more popular in the Hollywood world, but that kid could have definitely taken him in a fight, abd uiit would have redeemed him in the eyes of all the people who were watching. Oh well, things just work out for Ari, don’t they?
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Mousetrap – Finally – Cromartie decides stop sitting around twiddling his thumbs and go to kill John Connor. He’s supposed to be programmed for nothing else, and it has been frustrating that he seems to have forgotten that mission.
Heroes: The Second Coming & The Butterfly Effect – It’s great to have Heroes back, but these two episodes did not deliver the huge punch they should have. My main problem with the plot is that it once again revolves around the gang trying to stop a catastrophic future vision. They’ve already done that twice – there’s no other way they can save the world? The other problem with the time-travel element is that is Future-Peter quickly discovered that shooting his brother was a bad idea, why didn’t he go back again and stop himself? Why not travel half-an-hour further back and simply explain that it wasn’t a good idea? Still, I appreciate the faster pacing of the show, and I’m optimistic that the writers will be able to keep things interesting.
The Office: Weight Loss - Ah, The Office, how I missed you! This was a fantastic season premiere, and they seem to have finally gotten the hour-long episode down; instead of trying to just glue two stand alone episodes together, this episode was one long story, that brought us through the summer, and it worked perfectly. Jim finally proposed! Michael totally choked with Holly! Ryan is back and taking names! All in all, a fantastic season premiere.
Two side notes: I watched the first (of four) episode of the new animated Spaceballs show on G4, and I barely eeked out a single chuckle. The premiere episode poked fun at (wait for it…) the Star Wars prequels! How timely! But not only have the prequels been lampooned a million times already, this half-hour just wasn’t that funny. Excepting one joke where a Sithee (instead of the Sith – get it? Heee-larious!) questions why their powers are somewhat inconsistent.
And everyone should really be watching Z Rock on IFC: It has celebrity cameos, female nudity, and scenes that take place at Dinosaur BBQ. What more do you want?

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a Trackbackhey I just saw an Entourage rebroadcast (one of the 20 this week) – do you think Adam Davies apologized only so he could now sue Ari?
