Has Weeds Gone To Pot?

Has Weeds Gone To Pot?

Posted by Dustin on 09.19.2007 at 7:17 pm

I haven’t been commenting much on “Weeds,” and there is a reason. I just haven’t enjoyed it that much! I have tried to watch and like the episodes, but they have annoyed me. We have the brother Andy stuck in a war zone, being targeted for execution by the government, running and then being threatened to hand over the evidence that the army tried to kill him. Nancy is stuck being Uturns white slave girl and thug in training, while at the same time working for Matthew Modine’s character who seems to flirt with anything and anyone in town. Sylas, Nancy’s eldest son, has been selling drugs for her while he does his community service. He has meet Michelle Tanner, all grown up, working in the service of God and smoking pot because it’s all natural as God made it. In this most recent episode Marven, one of Uturn’s employees, basically killed him . . . . which leaves Nancy free of her white slave thug in training bonds I guess? Maybe things will become a little more lighter now?

I don’t know, “Weeds” used to be dark and funny, now it’s just dark and serious. I haven’t found myself laughing as much anymore. One of my friends agreed, she felt the series had gone to hell and wasn’t really watching much anymore. Any “Weeds” fans out there have thoughts on what has become of the show and the changes?

Flash Gordon: Assassin and Ascension

Flash Gordon: Assassin and Ascension

Posted by Dustin on 09.15.2007 at 10:03 pm

I finally caught up with the last two episodes of “Flash Gordon.” The show is slowly getting better and a little more interesting. However there are now rumors that the show might actually be cancelled due to the poor ratings and bad reviews.

The Assassin episode was somewhat confusing. Ming and his weird scientist guy Rylo sent an assassin to earth who could adapt and take on the shape of anyone else by using a machine to basically suck out their brains. He was sent to blow up the old offices of people tied to Flash’s father, perhaps they were trying to stop Flash from getting close to the truth? I don’t know, it was a confusing episode and one which probably should have been dropped. It didn’t seem to advance the story at all.

Vultan? I hardly recognize you!

In Ascension we met the Hawkmen, though once again the show took huge liberties. King Vultan was now Chief Vultan, who for thirteen years has been searching for his son. His son was lost through a rift around the same time Flash’s father was. Vultan’s son was on Earth, he was eventually located. He was initiated into the Hawkmen tribe, they’re now called Dactyls as opposed to Hawkmen. Furthermore they don’t have wings, they don’t even fly. They worship the hawk, are nomads and basically glide on the wind using their capes. Aside from the disappointment of what they did to the Hawkmen, it was actually one of the better episode. Flash helped Vultan save his son, who was captured by Aurora as she wanted a port key from Vultan. Vultan and his men stole it from her to get to earth and find Vultan’s son, while Aurora had stolen it from Rylo for some other reason. In the end Vultan’s son however returned back to Earth, but claimed he finally knew who he was and where he came from. Vultan told him he was welcomed in their tribe anytime. Flash and Aurora’s relationship meanwhile continues to be strained because he doesn’t trust her, and he thought she was different from her father.

I can’t wait to see what they’ve done to Baron and his tribe :-\ Though if the rumors are true, the show may be canceled before then!

Bionic Woman: The Pilot Review

Bionic Woman: The Pilot Review

Posted by Dustin on 09.13.2007 at 1:38 am

“The Bionic Woman,” at least the pilot episode, is basically best described as “Heroes” on overdrive! Don’t get me wrong, I luv my “Heroes,” and I understand the need to create back stories and all that, but in the pilot of “Bionic Woman,” it did everything a you expected to see throughout the 1st season of “Heroes” in one short hour. Yes, it was THAT good.

I thought this show was absolutely, without a doubt amazing. I’m serious, everything about this show was incredibly well done. The casting was top notch, the effects were great (though I do miss the 70s boinging bionic effects), the story was just amazing. This show pulls you in from the beginning to the very end. NBC definitely has another hit on its hands. I just hope the follow-up episodes live up to the pilot and don’t disappoint.

I just watched, for those wondering, the pilot on Amazon’s “UnBox” service, which is available to Tivo owners. NBC has all their new fall pilots up for free download. The following is my recap of the pilot, and is HEAVY on spoilers. No I mean it. This is basically a full recap of the pilot. If you don’t want to know before the show premiers later this month on NBC, skip the rest of this post. I’ve thrown in some quick digital images. Apologies for the quality, one day soon I’ll have my PC attached to the cable box to get high quality snaps.

Big Brother: Eviction and the Final HOH Comp!

Big Brother: Eviction and the Final HOH Comp!

Posted by Dustin on 09.12.2007 at 12:46 am

So tonight it was no surprise, Jameka was evicted.

Zack, Danielle and Dick are playing for the final HOH, which is a three part competition. First up was an endurance round, where they had to stand on platforms and try not to fall off as various obstacles were thrown at them. Danielle unfortunately has fallen and is sobbing hysterically. Zack and Dick are left up, Dick is screaming how he will stand here all night long, and spouting obscenities at Zack, who is just laughing.

Sorry Dick and Danielle fans, I’m rooting for Zack to win it and send Danielle home, because as he pointed out to Dick tonight, nobody in the jury house will vote for him.

*update* Zack won the first round of HOH. The second will be today and the third on Thursday. The winner of Big Brother 8 I believe is declared next Tuesday the 18th.

*update2* It appears Dick won round 2 of the HOH competition.
