This is Why You Never Want to Meet Your Idols

Supernatural was on last night and thankfully it was not about the apocalypse/demons. Sam and Dean were going on a good old ghost hunt, so they thought. This episode was of coarse really violent and a couple of people died. The people that did die died in ridiculous ways that they should be ashamed of. I liked this episode because i thought that the first two seasons were better because Sam and Dead hunted monster, ghosts, spirits and all sorts of evil creatures but starting in the third season all they do is hunt demons and finally they were hunting something besides demons. I thought that throughout the entire episode Dean was being too hard on Sam ans was treating him like a demon.

This episode started with some guy in Ohio buying a car named "Little Bastard". When the guy called his friend to show it too him the man who bought it was thrown through the windshield by nobody. Sam and Dean heard about it and set off to this small town. After they talked to the guy's friend he went home and was killed by Abraham Lincoln. Sam and Dean went to the wax museum in the town and saw that there was a Lincoln statue and a James Dean, the guy who owned "Little Bastard". They decided to go back the following night and salt and burn the two statues so that the spirits of the two people could not haunt the town anymore. When they were doing this Sam was attack by Gandhi. Once they got rid of him by salting and burning his glasses they realized that somethings was causing people to be killed by their idols. They learned back at the motel after doing hours of research that it was a pagan god was killing people because people used to look up to it and it would kill them, but now no one cared so it is taking them shape of other peoples idols and killing them. They got a call form the sheriff of the town and were told that two girls are in his office reporting that their friend was kidnapped by Paris Hilton. Sam and Dean went back to the wax museum and were captured by Paris Hilton. She then started to beat them up until Sam got away and killed her with their iron ax.

I thought that this episode was good because Sam and Dean were not fighting demons. I liked the fact that Dean, the guy who fights monsters and demons, got his butt kicked by Paris Hilton. Some people say that you should never meet your idols because they always let you down, but according to the people who write Supernatural you should not meet your idols because they will kill you. Dean was being too hard on Sam and it started to become obvious that Dean only agreed to go hunting with Sam again because Dean thought that he meet be able to stop Sam from letting Lucifer into his body. I liked this episode and would give it a rating of 3 out of 5.

Heroes: Chapter 3

On Monday night chapter 3 of Heroes was on. The title of this episode was Acceptance. This episode was centered around Nathan (Sylar) and Hiro. Claire, Noah, Angela, Peter, and Tracy were in the episode as well, but they did not provide much to the main story. Nathan started to show signs of having powers that were not his including shooting lightning from his hands and moving things with his mind. Hiro was trying to use his powers to try to stop a co-worker from killing himself and kept failing. This episode was not very good overall, but did have some interesting parts. The best part of this episode was the very end.

With Nathan starting to gain Sylar's powers his mother, Angela, starts to worry that he will become Sylar again so she brings him some of Nathan's old childhood things. Sylar had the power to touch an object and see the history of that object. Angela tries to use that powers to get Nathan to remember some of his past. He does not remember because it is not his past. Nathan (Sylar) goes through the entire episode trying to find out what happened to a old girlfriend after he touched a old baseball cap and saw her face down in a pool all most 15 years ago. He eventually got up the courage to go to her mothers house and start to touch the objects around the pool hoping that his new power would fill in the blanks of how she died. By doing this he learned that he chased her onto the diving board and accidentally made he fall and hit her head on the side of the pool and she died from bleeding too much. When Nathan went and told her mother what really happened she seemed fine with the fact that her daughter was dead and once Nathan left she started to plan to kill Nathan.

Hiro's new goal in life is to go back in time and right the wrongs in his life before he dies. Going back in time is what is killing Hiro, but he thinks that by fixing all of his wrongs he can make other lives better. Hiro and Ando were sitting in their office waiting for the dial-a-hero line to ring and when it did Hiro realized that the man on the other end was on the roof ready to jump. Hiro got to the roof in time to listen to why this man, Tadashi, is trying to kill himself. Tadashi was going to jump because he was fired for photocopying his butt at the end of the year office party. When Tadashi jumped off of the roof Hiro went back in time and stopped him from photocopying his butt. When Hiro returned he got a call from Tadashi and he was still on the roof. Hiro ran up to find out why he was going to jump that this time and was told that it was because he photocopied his butt at the Emperor's birthday party. After learning this Hiro went back in time and stopped him from photocopying his butt again. No matter how many times Hiro went back to stop Tadashi from photocopying his butt Tadashi still found a way to do it, he did it differently 40 different times different ways. After everything that Hiro tried to do Tadashi still ended up jumping off of the roof and Hiro learned the hard way that he can not change destiny.

This episode was not very good over all, but did have some amusing and interesting parts. I thought that it is good that Nathan is starting to get Sylar's powers because he is not really Nathan and it was a stupid idea for everyone ti pretend that Sylar is Nathan. I thought that Hiro's reaction to learning that Tadashi photocopied his butt was kind of funny. The best part of this episode was when Nathan was kidnapped and taken to a forest somewhere and thrown into a pit that had already been dug. After Nathan was thrown into the pit the man who took him shot Nathan three times and filled up the hole before he left. Once the assassin had left Sylar, reached out of the hole and pulled himself up. Sylar was able to do this because near the end of the previous season he took Claire's power to heal himself from any injury, including death. I thought that this was the best part of the episode because finally Sylar will not stop thinking that he is Nathan and can go back to everyone hating him. I thought that overall this episode of Heroes was not very good and would be rated 3 out of 5.

We Can Not Choose Who We Save

Last night House was on and it was definitely the best episode of the season. After Foreman fired Thirteen and the end of the last episode Dr. Taub quit at the beginning of this episode because he did not want to work alone with Foreman. To make sure that the department was not closed Foreman quickly tried to find replacements. He decided on Dr. Chase and Cameron because he knew that he could work with them and they were qualified. Chase and Cameron were the original team that worked for House when the show first started. When Chase and Cameron agreed they were told by Cuddy who the patient was. Their new patient was President Dibbla who was an oppressive dictator who was going to go home and commit acts of genocide in his country. House returned to the hospital looking for his job, even though he does not have a medical license. Cuddy told him that since Dibbla is such an important patient House will be allowed to sit in on the meetings, but Foreman is still in charge and he can not do any procedures or come in contact with patients.

I thought that this episode was very good because it showed the thoughts of all of the doctors. The main story in this episode was the inner conflict in Chase treating this patient. He and Cameron thought that the world would be a better place if Dibbla died in the hospital. Chase decided to take matter into his own hands and fake test results for Dibbla by going to the morgue and finding someone with a certain disease, the treatment for this disease would in combination with the disease that Dibbla already had would kill him. Chase faked the results and gave the to Foreman knowing that Foreman would have no choice but to treat him immediately. Chase was the only one who knew what was really wrong with Dibbla. When they gave him the treatment Dibbla started to bleed into his lungs and died. After they brought Dibbla down to the morgue Foreman discovered that Chase had been down there earlier in the day and thought that Chase and Cameron faked the results. Chase informed Foreman that Cameron had nothing to do with it. Chase tried to guilt Foreman into not reporting him to the police by telling him that if it comes out the Dibbla was killed than he will become a martyr and the genocide will start. Foreman believed Chase and told him that he has to make sure that all the loose ends are tied up because he will not go down as Chase's accomplice.

I liked this episode because it gave further detail into how the doctors treat patients who they do not want to live. Foreman thought that no matter who the patient is it is their duty as doctors to help them get better. Cameron thought similar to Foreman thinking that she did not want Dibbla to die, but if he did she would not miss him. Chase on the other hand thought that Dibbla was to dangerous to be kept alive and decided that he had to die. This episode was more based on Foreman, Chase, and Cameron instead of House and his problems. I thought that it was good that all of the other characters were in the episode including Thirteen, Wilson, Cuddy and House. I thought that this was the best episode only because it showed how much power doctors really have in the world, they have the power to kill. I thought Foreman was right in his thinking that we can not choose who we save. i would give this episode of House a 4.5 out of 5.

The Man with the Kryptonite Heart

Friday night the second episode of the ninth season of Smallville was on. The title of this episode was Metallo. This episode was about the creation of the villain Metallo. Metallo is a character from the Superman comics who is a Kryptonian cyborg sent to Earth to kill Superman, he is supposed to be able to kill Superman because he is powered by a Kryptonite power cell. In Smallville Metallo was not a Kryptonian cyborg he was just a human who was made into a cyborg. This episode was better than the first of the season because Lois is starting to remember what happened to her for the three weeks that she was missing.

At the beginning of this episode the new reporter at the Daily Planet, John Corben, was hit by a bus. When he woke up he was in a warehouse somewhere in Metropolis with mechanical arms and a bunch of metal tubes in his chest with Kryptonite in the centre. Later Tess Mercer, the CEO of LuthorCorp, found out that it was Zod and the other Kryptonians who came from a crystal that she found did this to Corben. When Corben got to the hospital one of the doctors explained to him that a cybernetic matrix has been implanted into his chest and powered by Kryptonite and his heart has been removed. The mechanical parts of him gave him similar powers to Clark, super strength and speed. With his new powers Corben decided that he was going to go seek out the Red-Blue Blur and kill him. The Red-Blue Blur is the identity Clark uses so that he can protect Metropolis in secret. While all of this is happening in Metropolis Lois was in Smallville because she went to Clark's farm and found that he someone was feeding his dog and she thought that he was back from supposedly visiting cousins in Montana and was secretly hiding from everyone. Corben finds Lois latter at the Daily Planet and thinks that if he kidnaps her that the Red-Blue Blur will come to save her or she might know who the Blur is. Once he takes her back to the warehouse Clark finds her and starts to fight Corben. When the fight was almost over Clark heated a piece of lead with his heat vision and attached it to Corben's chest to block the Kryptonite radiation. When Corben removed the lead the Kryptonite power source broke off with it. Without the power source Corben died. After talking to Chloe about Lois, Clark decided that he was not ready to say goodbye to her yet and went and got his job back at the Daily Planet so that they could work together again.

This episode was better than the premiere. I though that it was better because Clark finally realized that he has to finish his training or have a life, not both. Clark decided to go back to being Clark Kent instead of the Red-Blue Blur sitting on roof tops listening to other people having a life. i thought that it was good that Lois is starting to remember her trip to the future because it is insane that someone forgets that the went into the future. I thought that it was very good for Chole to get in Clark's face about not being the hero that he was meant to be and that they both gave up important pieces of their lives so that he could become a hero and he was not doing it, Chloe lost her husband Jimmy and Clark left Lois behind. I thought that there were some parts of this episode that were not as good to. i thought that it was the wrong decision for Clark to go back t his normal life because he is not normal and has a higher purpose in life and it is not right to put his feelings for Lois above the lives of everyone else. I thought that it was suspicious that Zod and his army of like 100 Kryptonians were able to break into 15 LuthorCorp facilities and steal a lot of classified top secret research equipment without being noticed until days later. Overall this episode was still better and i would give it a rating of 4 out of 5.

Rise of the Bounty Hunters

"A lesson learned is a lesson earned"

Last night was the season premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is a cartoon that takes place after Star Wars Episode II : Attack of the Clones and before Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It follows Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and there army of clone troopers throughout the Clone Wars and on many different planets. They are always assisted by their right hand clones Captain Rex and Commander Cody. In the show Anakin has a padawan learner that trains with Anakin where ever he goes as his student, her name is Ahsoka Tano. I like this show better than the Star Wars movies because every episode is only half an hour and has a complete story within one episode or sometimes two or three. Another reason why I think that the show is better that the movies is that this shows the gap between the movies and show how Anakin gets angrier and darker on his path to becoming Darth Vader, in Attack of the Clones Anakin was a great Jedi Knight and then all of a sudden in Revenge of the Sith he is a angry person who is easily converted to a Sith Lord. I thought that the change was too quick.

The main idea behind the show is the Clone Wars in the Galactic Republic. The Jedi have been given the task of commanding a army of millions of clones to fight against a army of battle droids lead by Count Dooku, a Sith Lord. Count Dooku is head of the Separatist movement and is trying to destroy the Republic so that the Sith can take over the galaxy. With the Jedi as generals they have started to lose their way because the are acting a generals instead of keepers of the peace and the risk allowing the Sith to exploit this weakness.

The season premiere was good because it showed how Anakin's teachings have made Ahsoka more like him, disobedient and full of herself. The second season is more about how bounty hunters influenced the war for the Separatist Alliance. In this episode Darth Sidious hired a bounty hunter to steal a holocron from the Jedi Temple. With this holocron he would be able to hunt down another Jedi and find the location of all of the children throughout the universe who are to become future Jedi. Darth Sidious wanted to get to them first so that he could find them and train them to become Sith instead of Jedi. Ahsoka was really the hero of this episode because she was the one who found the intruder and fought her off so that the could get information out of her. The only reason that Ahsoka was able to find the intruder was because she was being punished by the Jedi Council for disobeying orders from her Jedi master, Anakin Skywalker.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a good show because of the different types of characters and the different roles that they play in the war. The clone troopers are all identical in physically, but they are all individuals based on who they serve. Anakin's troopers are more reckless and will do whatever they can to get the job done, however Obi-Wan's troopers are more safe and stick to all of the rules and regulations. The clones are all individuals instead of being identical and think the same. This show has all of the action that the movies have but it is easier to film animation and not having to budget special effects into a movie. I would give the season premiere of season two of Star Wars: The Clone Wars a 4 out of 5.

This is the trailer for the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars from YouTube.

One Moment Can Change Everything

Last night was the second episode of Flashpoint. Flashpoint is a show about a team of the Toronto Strategic Response Unit who go to places where the normal police officers are not trained to control the situation, like a hostage situation or bomb threat. This is a good show because it is almost the only Canadian made television show that is not horrible. One of the ideas used in every episode is that one moment can change everything. That moment in each episode is the turning point where everything goes wrong for either the criminal, victim, or the SRU and that moment is the climax of the episode. They usually show that one moment in the first minute of the episode and then go back a couple of hours earlier to start the episode and show the background of how it happened and then later get back that moment and show what happens after.

The first episode of the season was much better than this one because of the level of panic in the police. While trying to defuse one of the bombs that they were after one of the officers stepped on a land mine, the rest of the episode was spent trying to figure out how to get him off of the mine without it killing him. He decided that he did not want his friends in anymore danger trying to get him off of the mine, he waited until they had stepped away to try to figure it out and he stepped off to spare his friends of accidentally killing themselves.

The second episode was also very good but not as good as the first. The second episode was based around the team looking for a women who was abducted by one of her customers from the coffee shop where she worked. The man broke into her apartment and dragged her to his car and took her to his trailer in the woods. This man took her because she looked like his dead daughter and his medical past of mental disorder lead him to believe that she was his daughter. Once the team found out why he had taken her they were more able to relate to him because they all knew what it was like to lose someone close to you after their friends had died from the land mine. I thought that the crime in this episode was not appropriate for the SRU because it was an abduction. Abductions are usually handled by the police or by missing person. I thought that a hostage situation would have been more suited for this episode and all of the details could have been the same only the crime would have been better for the show. I thought that this episode was not as good as other episodes of Flashpoint and that it should have a rating of 2.5 out of 5.

Supernatural: Return of the Croatoan Virus

The fourth episode of Supernatural was on last night and was probably the best episode of the season so far. The title of this episode was "The End", this was the name because it was about Dean being sent into the future by Zachariah so that he would see how the future would be if Dean said no to Micheal and stayed on the path of trying to kill Lucifer. I liked this episode because it Incorporated old stories from the show including the colt and the Croatoan virus. This episode along with a similar episode from the third season when Castiel sends Dean into the past was too much centered around Dean and there was not enough Sam.

The episode starts with Dean getting to his hotel room and getting a call from Castiel, because Castiel thinks that he has gotten a lead on how to find "the colt". Dean does not believe him because he did not think that the demons wold keep a demon killing gun around. Soon after Dean goes to sleep Zachariah wakes him up so that he can send him into the future. Dean wakes up in the year 2014 to find that the town he went to sleep in is now totally destroyed. Dean ventures outside of find out what happened and is attacked by a little girl, after Dean gets away from her he finds "CROATOAN" painted to a wall. Once he saw this he knew he was in trouble because he remembered going to a small town a few years ago, in season 2, and finding "CROATOAN" carved into a tree and everyone in the town went nuts because they wee infected with the demonic virus that caused them all to become vicious killers. As Dean was running away from the crowd of infected "croats" the US army comes in and shoots them all to bits. After Dean escapes from the town he notices that the town had been fenced off by the government because it was a "Hot Zone of the Croatoan Virus". Dean decided to go to a friends house to see if they could help him, but he was interrupted by Zachariah telling him that this is what will happen if he continues on his current path and that the only way out is to say yes to Michael. Dean eventually finds a underground survivors camp where he learns that these people are fighting the demons and "croats" and are being lead by him. After Dean was discovered by future Dean he was locked up so that the rest of the people in the camp would not freak out because there were two Dean Winchesters. Eventually past Dean escapes and starts to talk to the rest of the people in the camp like Castiel and Chuck, a prophet. Meanwhile future Dean was on a mission and when he returns he shows everyone tat finally after five years he found a way to kill Lucifer, he had found the colt. The whole group of people went to kill Lucifer and they were all killed except for past Dean because Lucifer knew that without Dean Sam would never say "yes". After Dean confronts Lucifer in Sam's body he is sent back to 2009. After Dean gets back he goes to see Castiel and calls Sam so that they can get back together to start hunting again.

I liked this episode much better than the three before it because it had more of the earlier stories in it. I thought that it was really good that Dean had to face Sam after Lucifer had entered his body because it forced Dean to Look at what would happen to him if he cut Sam out of his life. Future Dean was being very mean and harsh with everyone in his camp and it showed what Dean would become if he obsessed over killing Lucifer with the colt. I thought that it was not a good idea to re-introduce the colt onto the show because it was better when they did not have it because it made their lives easier. I would have thought, like Dean, that the demons would not keep a gun around that was built to kill demons. I thought that it was awesome that in this horrible dystopian future where everything is the worst possible outcome the president of the United States is Sarah Palin. Even though there were some things that were not as great the episode was still the best of the season and I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

The colt was introduced in the first season to Sam and Dean by the father John. I found this video on YouTube from the episode.

House: Out of the Hospital

Monday night the second episode of House was on, the title of this episode was "Epic Fail". It was much better than the season premiere. It had a better story than the premiere and the rest of the characters were in the episode not just House. Since House was released from the hospital he returned to his hospital to return to his post as head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine. House has a team of doctors that he hand picked to work for him as a diagnostic team. When a patient with mysterious symptoms comes in they are referred to House and his team, so that they can figure out what is wrong with him. There are three people on his team the first and most experienced member is Dr.Foreman, the second member of his team is Dr.Hadley she tells everyone to call her "Thirteen" because she is dying and thought that it would make her stand out during the application process, and the final member of his team is a former plastic surgeon named Dr. Taub. The director of the hospital is Dr. Cuddy and House's best friend is Dr. Wilson.

After House gets out of the hospital he returns to his job at the hospital only so that he can tell Cuddy that he needs to make changes to his life and the first change is that he is quitting. once House quits and leaves the room Foreman asks Cuddy if he can have House's job. With Foreman as the new head of the department the other two doctors on his team think that they can act differently now that House is gone. Their patient for this episode was a video game developer and he was posting his symptoms online so that he could get other doctors opinion on his condition because he thought that he would be getting treated by House. Foreman started to treat the other two doctors badly because they where acting different and that this case was his only shot at keeping the department running. House on the other hand is at home trying to find a new hobby after he went to cooking classes and got sick of doing that all the time. House is now living with Wilson so that Wilson can make sure that House is not taking anymore pain killers. After Thirteen comes to Houses apartment to complain about how Foreman is treating them she tells him that the patient is posting his symptoms online. House was trying for the entire episode to find away to make the pain in his leg go away without taking pain killers and he could not find one that lasted for a long enough time. At the end of the episode after Foreman figures out the problem with his patient he found out that Thirteen went and checked the return posts from doctors and stopped the treatment. Foreman was upset that she stopped treatment before he could tell her to. The only way House could find a way to get rid of his pain was to solve old cases. House was the one who posted the solution on the patients blog. Foreman thought that it was not Thirteen's place to stop treatment before he could tell her to, so he fired her at the end of the episode. I liked this episode much better than the premiere because there was the rest of the characters , more of a story and there was the puzzle of the doctors trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient. I liked the fact that for once Foreman, Thirteen, and Taub had to figure out a case without the assistance of House. I would give this episode of House a 4 out of 5
