Do You See Anything?!?!?

Posted in The Tube, Weapons of Mass Enjoyment at 3:13 pm by earl

I was browsing on the Heroes Wiki, when I found the page on the explosion during the Season Finale of Season 1 where Peter blows up after being flown into the sky by Nathan. Now, they had 4 pictures of it in the sequence of events, supposedly being able to see the following in each of the pictures:
Picture #1-Peter and Nathan flying above the city.
Picture #2-The explosion, and a supposed falling figure.
Picture #3-The figure falling, and another flying to catch him.
Picture #4-The flying figure flying off with the body. Now, can you actually see that? I think I can see the object in the first two, but the last two are practically duplicates to me. DM, James, Steven, do you see anything?




If these are real/correct, they could reveal the answer to one of my dying questions!

Top Ten Questions I Want Answered in Heroes-Four Months Ago

Posted in The Tube, Top Tens at 2:07 pm by earl


Monday, November 12, will showcase a brand new episode of Heroes, where it fills in the mystery-filled four month span between the bomb avoidance at the end of Season 1 and where we picked up about 2 months ago. Man, time flies when you’re watching Heroes. This kinda just makes me want the Heroes to sit around a table and answer these one by one.

10. Who is Elle, who’s her dad, and what relation does she have with Peter/The Company? (These are all related).
9. Where did Sylar go after the bomb?
8. Who’s paying the mortgage with Matt and Mohinder living together?
7. (Insert question here)
6. When did D.L. die?
5. How does Dwight fit in with all of this?
4. What is the deal with the mutilated face of Nathan sometimes in the mirror, and who’s face was that in the promo with the yellow eye?
3. Why does Peter have amnesia, and how did he end up in the container?
2. How did Adam Monroe and Peter meet?
1. How did Nathan survive the bomb and where did Peter go after it?

Hohoho Mr. Monk!/Mr. Chuck?

Posted in The Tube at 5:50 pm by earl

There will be a holiday themed Monk episode that will air December 7th. And, by the reputation of past holiday Monk episodes-Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa, Mr. Monk Meets His Dad-this looks to be another great installment. With a name like Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa, it has to be good. You thought I was going to say Smuckers, didn’t you? By the way, here are the names of a few other upcoming episodes:

Mr. Monk Goes to the Bank
Mr. Monk and the Three Julies
Mr. Monk Paints his Masterpiece
Mr. Monk Joins a Cult
Mr. Monk is on the Run

By the way, the new show Chuck is really reminding me of Monk. Each episode is Chuck vs……..something, always dealing with the theme of the episode. This show also has a lot of the Monk humor.

Heroes-Out of Time

Posted in The Tube at 9:50 am by earl


On the road again….Heroes came back this week with a ton of surprises, and an epic storyline.

Hiro was still back in past, and was being held captive by Kensei and the White Beard army. While the patrolling soldier leaves, Hiro teleports him and Yaeko out of the tent. Hiro tells Yaeko to meet him at the infamos cherry blossoms, and plans to destroy White Beard’s guns. He goes back that night to do so, but begins a swordfight with Kensei. He takes Kensei’s sword, doesn’t kill him, but as the tent was about to blow up, Hiro left without him. He then tells Yaeko of the next trial, of how Kensei, which would be him. HE says Kensei had to cut his heart out to save Japan, which is symbolic of him giving her up to save the space/time continuum. He comes back to Ando in the present, along with Kensei’s helmet as a souvenier. He then realizes his father is dead.

Claire wakes up in the morning to find West in her house, which scares her in fear of her father finding him. Later they’re canoodaling (Wikipedia’s word for it), and Mr. Bennet comes in. West freaks out and flys off after Claire says it’s her father. Bennet, after asking Mohinder if he had a gun from one of the paintings and then burning the paintings and taking pictures, yells at Claire. They’re so upset.

Speaking of Suresh, him, Niki/Jessica, Matt, Nathan, Bob, and Molly, are all on the lookout for Maury Parkman, the nightmare man, who is out to kill Bob, a former member of the group. Suresh and Niki are put in charge of stabbing Maury with the virus, but Maury keeps putting Niki in a nightmare where D.L. (great guest appearance) is telling him she’s going to go crazy and get Micah killed. She dreams that Bob shoots D.L., and she punches Mohinder and goes to kill Bob. She shows up, but she stabs herself with the virus to stop herself. Mohinder starts to cure it, but it turns out to be a new strand that is incurable. Suresh is sent to get Claire. He is given a gun to deal with dangerous Bennet, and Suresh confesses he was working with Bennet. Bob forgives. He promises to destroy all vials of the virus after Niki’s accident. Claire’s the only one that can save her. He seems like a nice guy. Meanwhile, Matt is with Molly. He and her get pulled into MAury’s nightmare, but Matt develops the power to do what his father does. So he pulls his father in. This ensues a tear-worthy argument about Matt not being strong enough and his father leaving him. He overcomes it, and leaves his father in his own nightmare. He goes unconscious and Bob sedates him. Oh ya, Bob revealed that Adam Monroe is the dude who is trying to kill the others. He had talked about holocausts, plagues, he considered himself a god. Linderman was his disciple. Maury was his tool to kill.

Peter is in the future with Caitlin, where 93% are dead, 7% are quaranined after the virus. Peter meets his mom, who he doesn’t remember. She tells him of his powers, and after focusing, he remembers. They start to leave, but Caitlin is going to be deported. He accidentally teleports himself back to the present in Adam Monroe’s apartment. Peter hears someone, and shoots a bolt of lightning at him. You see a hand catch it, and burn severely. However, it heals. Adam Monroe a.k.a. KENSEI steps out and says “Peter, what are you doin’ that for? Don’t you recognize me? My names Adam Monroe, and we’re gonna change the world!”

So, nturally, this leaves me with some questions-Why is Adam killing them? Where did Sylar go? What happened after the bomb? How did Peter get where he is how he is? How will they stop the virus?

HEROES SEASON FINALE!!!!! ALREADY!!!

Posted in The Tube at 3:09 pm by earl



Ok, let me see if I can get this straight. Heroes was planned on running to the end of Volume 2-Generations (The Second Season) on Monday, December 3rd, due to the fact that Season 2 was different from Season 1. In Season 1 there was a HUGE storyline that spanned 23 episodes. IT would make sense for Season 2 with some mini storylines to cut short at 11 episodes. It would also make sense for me to throw my TV out the window yelling “I’M NOT WAITING FOUR MORE MONTHS FOR MORE!!!!!! THIS IS A RIP-OFF!!!!!” NBC would then plan on airing the next season shortly after. More episodes have been shot, but it’s most likely they would air when the next season goes into production, so the next season doesn’t get interrupeted *cough* SEASON 1!!! It’s also been reported that NBC is going back in and re-filming an ending to the December 3rd episode, which would better suit it as a Season Finale. This is mainly due to the Writer’s Strike. If the Strike is averted, they will use the original ending and go on with the season with the original story arcs in Season 2. If they do end the Season, those stroy arcs better be on the DVD. So basically, we have two possibilities:
#1-The writer’s strike goes on (which it started on the day I’m writing this), they conslude with a now-shooting/pre-shot finale to this current season on December 3.
#2-The writer’s strike is averted, and Season 2 goes on with some pre-shot episodes until the pre-planned Season Finale date sometime in May most-likely. Hey, I’ll write for Heroes!

So, more than likely, Poss. #1 will be the case. I guess this means no Heroes Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hannakuh special J.D. Moment: (Sylar-Hohoho……(Cuts someones head) Maya and Alejandro roasting by an open fire! Sylar can be Santa, and Peter, Nathan, and Niki can be the reindeer. Of course, we’d have to accomadate Suresh’s Atheism.) Sorry about that. It happens. At least we have Chuck.

Heroes-The Line

Posted in The Tube at 9:02 am by earl


Heroes is back and better than ever! Well, maybe not better than Genesis. Anyway, we are actually getting somewhere in the story! Which makes all the difference!

Hiro is still back in time, and they plan on rescuing Yaeko’s dad from WhiteBeard. However, when escaping, Hiro and Yaeko are nearly shot so Hiro accidentally teleports him and Yaeko outside from the battle. She realizes his power and that all the qualities of Kensei she loved came from Hiro whenever he dressed up as Kensei. They kiss, and Kensei decides to get revenge, he knocks out Hiro later and gives Yaeko and her father to an army in order fora favor. Ando continues to read his scrolls.

Claire strived to join the cheerleading squad so she could fulfill her lie to her Dad. But when rejected, she and West trick the cheerleader and make it look like’s she’s crazy. She’s accepted on the squad when its found out the trickee was drinking.

Maya, Alejandro, and Sylar finally reached the border. But when some patrolmen come to stop them, Sylar convinces Maya to kill them on purpose. When they finally do get to America, Alejandro threatens to leave. Sylar tells him in English which Alejandro doesn’t understand that he will kill both of them and steal Maya’s power. Just like the old saying, two’s company, three’s a crowd, that third person will eat your sister’s brain.

Mohinder was having some moral struggles at the Company. Bob wanted him to give Monica a shot that would remove her power. He refused, and threatened to leave the company and take Molly. Bob apologized and sent Niki to be his partner. Mohinder is trying to be good and is refusing to do things against his morals.

Bennet and The Haitian went to Russia where they found Bennet’s old mentor. Bennet continuously threatened with and did get The Haitian to erase some of the man’s precious memories. The man finally did tell where the 7 other paintings were, but Bennet realized that if the company found his hostage with missing memories, they would go to Bennet and The Haitian. So he killed his mentor. Bennet found the paintings, which showed several things, including one of Hiro and Kensei battling.

Peter and the Irish girl went to Montreal to see the building from the painting where they went inside and found a note. It read, Peter, the Company is up to no good. You must stop them. They then were in a weird future on June 14, 2008 where a mass evacuation had been issued for that day. It’s just like last season’s premonition! On the preview for next week, it said “93% of the population is dead. Evil has decided our destiny. Good must overcome it.” I think it has something to do with the shot Mohinder almost gave to Monica, who was returned home. Mohinder said, if this spreads, it could kill. Bingo!

Farewell Scrubs!

Posted in The Tube at 10:35 am by earl


One of my favorite shows, Scrubs, is in its final season. This is really sad for me since this is one of the funniest, most creative shows I’ve ever seen. It will be depriving not to get to see Dr. Cox call J.D. random girls names, the Janitor torture J.D., or to hear J.D. call Turk “brown bear”.

Through the Eyes Of-Gabriel Gray A.K.A. Sylar

Posted in The Tube at 3:53 pm by earl


This is a new little thing I’m gonna start doing where I describe one main character from Heroes’ adventure throughout Season 1 and on into Season 2. And I thought who better to start off with than Sylar?

Well, Gabriel Gray’s story started way back when 6 months prior to Genesis. He was a humble watchmaker, who was approached by the then-alive Chandra Suresh, a geneticist who was discovering the Heroes at the time. He told Gabe he had a power, and, just like a little boy at Christmas, Gabe got excited. Turns out he got socks. Chandra told him he didn’t, however he did, the power of super-observance, knowing how things work by looking at them. Anyway, Gabe found a file on a Hero Chandra was going to meet with later, pretended to be Chandra, and killed the Hero because he thought he was unworthy. His first power-Telekinesis/Levitation. He then picked up the name Sylar from a watch brand and began his killing spree. Right before Genesis he comes and gets revenge by killing Chandra. Sylar began to chase down those he remembered from the list. This led Audrey Hudson and Matt Parkman to begin chasing him, but not before he could kill James Walker and his wife, parents of Molly Walker. He obtained James’ unknown power. Sylar then went to Texas where he found and killed Charlie, who was very close to Hiro Nakamura. He obtained super memory. Sylar then hit the money when he went to Claire Bennet’s high-school homecoming, where he accidentally killed Jackie Wilcox instead. Claire escaped. And after failing to kill Peter Petrelli, he was captured by Noah Bennet and the Company. He later escaped and tried to kill Noah’s wife. After escaping from Noah again and running from the police, he pretended to be Zane Taylor, killed him, and stole his power-Melting. While pretending to be Zane, he tagged along with Mohinder, Chandra’s son, to find new Heroes in order to warn them of Sylar. Ironic. They meet a woman with super-hearing, whom Sylar kills and steals her power from. Mohinder then saw the light and poisoned Sylar, beginning to experiment on him, but Sylar once again outwitted him and killed Peter Petrelli, who later revived thanks to his absorbing power ability. Sylar is knocked out by Mohinder. Mohinder and Peter escape, when Sylar finds Issac Mendez’s address. Sylar finds Issac and kills him. He obtained the power of painting the future. He later paints a picture of Nathan Petrelli in the White House, which turns out to be him using Candice’s power of Illusion that he obviously stole. Sylar then paints a picture of him killing Ted Sprague, a man with radiation powers, and then notices the picture of the exploding man that kills all the people in Peter’s dream. Sylar panics, and wonders why he’d kill all those people. He calls Mohinder, but when he hears him dialing 9-1-1, he hangs up. He meets up with his Mom, but shortly after kills her in an accident. Hiro Nakamura comes in to kill Sylar and stop the bomb, but he loses focus and Sylar freezes and breaks Hiro’s sword. Sylar then paints a picture of New York exploding with his mother’s blood. Sylar later listens in to Ted, Claire, Peter, and Matt’s conversation, so he turns Ted into the police, whom he later steals a power from and kills. He obtains radiation powers. In the Season Finale, he paints a picture of him fighting Peter, which he plans to do and kill Peter. He meets up with Peter in Kirby Plaza as his painting suggests, and fights him. He is beaten down by Peter with the help of Niki Sanders, but as Peter’s hands start to glow, Sylar maniacally laughs and says Peter will be the villain. Hiro then appears and crucially wounds Sylar. Sylar falls to the ground, and sees a vision of all those he’s killed, then goes unconsious. At the end of the episode, we see a bloody trail leading to a sewer, with a cockroach crawling around. Turns out, Candice Wilmer saved Sylar and put him through surgeries, and he later kills her. One thing, his powers don’t work due to his wounds. He escapes her warehouse after killing Candice and taking her power. He meets up with Maya and Alejandro Herrera, where he kills one of their friends and lies to them. But that’s in Season 2. In the alternate future where Sylar killed Claire and received invincibility, he had taken Candice’s and Nathan’s powers and pretended to be Nathan as president.

Overall, Sylar is one of the coolest villains ever on a TV Show that you would expect from a Movie villain. His mortal struggles and behaviors make the show much more enjoyable.

Heroes-Fight or Flight

Posted in The Tube at 9:05 am by earl


This week’s episode was alright, although I just kinda wish they’d get stable and stop adding new stuff! Anyway, Monica is struggling with her new-found power, that is until Micah helps her shows her his power. She then starts to use her power by learning several new skills. Mohinder later shows up at her doorstep for the company.

Earlier on in the episode, Mohinder was back in New York with Matt and the unconscious Molly. Mohinder takes Molly to the Company against the now-in-Ukraine Bennet and the Haitian. And after tasering Jessica/Niki off of Bob, he is sent to New Orleans to get Monica. Meanwhile, matt and Nathan have went to Philadelphia to find Matt’s Dad. And after breaking down the door, nearly getting shot, and handcuffing his Dad, Matt finds a photo with the red helix on his father’s face, rationalizing his father’s hostility. They then reveal that Matt’s father has the same power as Matt! His father promises to tell him the truth, but then he tricks Matt and Nathan into a room where, somehow by his Father’s powers, they live out they’re greatest nightmare and fight there inner demons: Matt- a security guard keeping Matt, his ex-wife, and what turns out to be his son, Nathan-his radiated self in a post-explosion New York. They then realize that they’re fighting eachother, and Matt’s father escapes.

Back in Ireland, Peter has finally decided to open the box, where he finds out his last name and learns about himself. Meanwhile, a strange girl named Nelle is searching for him, and she works for the company, with her daddy. She has an electric power, and kills the man who welcomed Peter after he pretends to not know where Peter is. He got pwned. Anyway, Peter also paints a picture of the future of him and his Irish girlfriend in front of a building with a helix on it. Go figure. Nelle is taken off the assignment by her father.

Hiro is still in feudal Japan, and Ando is having trouble reading his messages. They’re preparing to resue the love of both Kensei and Hiro’s father from Whitebeard. That’s pretty much it.

Heroes-The Kindness of Strangers

Posted in The Tube at 1:40 pm by earl


This was actually one of the better episodes, and I kinda feel like its starting to get into its flow that it did and that made last season so good.

Micah is adjusting to his new life in New Orleans, where we discover that his same-age cousin likes Wrestling, his grandma has a unique sense of humor, and his older cousin, Monica, has a power to duplicate and perform anything she sees-Wrestling moves, culinary fancies. She then
shows these off after being rejected for her better job by pwning a would-be robber.

The investigation into the Helix Serial Killer (See, I have a name for it now) continued, and Angela confesses to Kaito’s murder, which Matt discovers is false. She’s just doing it to keep the world about knowing about their group. Matt and Nathan find a picture showing all the members of the group, including Charles Devoax, Bob, Linderman, Angela, Kaito, the blurred face of Dallas, three unidentified women and two u.i. men. Also it showed a man who Matt says is his father and Molly says is the Nightmare Man. Matt gets Molly to look for his father, but when she finds him, she goes into shock, thinking screaming for Matt to help her.

Bennet, scared due to last week’s picture, starts asking Claire a lot of questions. She goes ona date with West blah blah blah and then she tells Bennet she was trying out for cheerleading instead, which she is considering. Bennet then leaves with The Haitian to go to Odessa and Ukraine to see more pictures.

We got more Sylar moments when he was found by Maya, Alejandro, and Derek (the dude with the car). He uses his real name Gabriel Gray, and discovers Maya and Alejandro’s powers, right as they were leaving a newstand where Derek started to call the police after seeing their wanted sign. Sylar killed Derek and by the looks on his face, it looks like he’ll try to do something in the future with Maya and Alejandro. I still think it was hillarious seeing Sylar nearly get killed by Maya when she freaked out, causing Sylar to yell out “What are you doing to me!!!”

Scrubs

Posted in The Tube at 5:55 pm by earl



Scrubs is a hillarious show that comes on NBC and Comedy Central. It follows John Dorian, Chris Turk, Eliiot Reid, Dr. Cox, Dr. Kelso, and the Janitor on their daily walks of life. As I said earlier, this show is hillarious mainly due to J.D.’s moments where he drifts off and has these crazy somewhat-relevant daydreams. There is also tons of random humor, from Dr. Cox constantly calling J.D. a girl’s name, and the Janitor making threats on J.D.’s life. There was even an episode where head Dr. Kelso taking rounds with the interns and asking one of them what was wrong with a certain patient. The intern responded, “He has mild hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cyhrosis of the liver.” Dr. Kelso responded, “Nope, he’s dead.” This show is one of the greatest and I recommend it to anyone looking for a funny show to watch. It comes on 6 :oo P.M. Central Weekdays on Comedy Central and sometimes on NBC.

Heroes-Kindred

Posted in The Tube at 9:26 am by earl


Well, at the first of the season I was a little afraid for Heroes, scared that it might not be able to last as a series, but this episode proved me wrong. Peter is still in Ireland, and decides to work with the brothers in exchange for the box with his identity in it. Not literally. He helps them rob an armor car and then it turns out one of the brothers is a trader, but Peter takes care of him. Peter then realizes that he’s happy there and procrasinates to open the box. We also finally got to check up on Niki and Micah, who are back in Las Vegas, next to D.L.’s grave. Niki is falling for the company’s trap so she can be normal and leaves Micah with what appears to be D.L.’s mom. Cool!!! Claire just kees struggling with being normal, and after her stalker has found out about her, he uses Claire as an example of a regenerator in class. She leaves in tears, and he comes out to her, and they fly off. I couldn’t make this up. It looks like they’re boyfriend/girlfriend. Suresh has finally returned from Cairo, and Matt worries about having to take care of him and Molly. Suresh is on the phone with Bennet when he discovers a painting showing Mr. Bennet dead. It was one of the 8 that Mr. Bennet was referring to that he didn’t know what the other 7 were. Maya and ALejandro finally get to Mexico where ALejandro is arrested and Maya thus kills the guards, but Alejandro brings them back. They then escape with another inmate in his car. And at the preview for next week, it says that Kaito, Angela, Dallas, Linderman, and the others that were part of their group were the original Heroes and that someone is trying to kill them off. This person is also the great evil Molly has nightmares about. Hiro is still in the past where he has finally taught Takezo to be a Hero, and sends Ando messages through the hilt of the sword. However, Hiro stays because he is attracted to Takezo’s bride-to-be. We finally see Sylar! It turns out he survived, Candace saved him, and that his powers won’t work until he heals. So what is a guy supposed to do? Well Sylar just killed Candace and stole her power, but it won’t work. It turns out Candace is obese. Poor girl. Sylar runs out of the warehouse screaming trying to get his powers to work. However, he’s in the middle of a huge forest.
