Some TV thoughts (and spoilers, of course)…

American Idol
I TOTALLY called that Lindsey was going to go home on American Idol tonight. But I was really surprised to see Jessica in the bottom three. I didn’t expect that at all. Mikalah, yes. Jessica, no. When it was down to Jessica, Vonzell and Nikko, I really thought it was going to be Nikko in the bottom three (not that I wanted him there or anything — I really like him!). Anyway, I agree with the voting — Lindsey had a great smoky kind of voice (and I thought she was beautiful) but she really seemed out of her league.

Alias
I have mixed feelings about tonight’s episode. I really enjoyed Sam (it was the guy from Freaks and Geeks!) and his interaction with Syd on the mission but the biometric target helicopter thing-y? Was so lame. Syd’s fake nose in the teaser was also pretty bad. Next week looks promising though.

American Dreams
Last week’s episode was sooo good. I loved seeing Sam and Meg hanging out and discovering their feelings for each other (especially at the concert when Sam put his arm around her — *gush*)… and as much as I really want them together, I understood when they had to put a stop to their romantic relationship before anything started. I think that’s what I love about this show. It doesn’t sacrifice reality for a short term storyline payoff. I do hope the show will get a chance for a 4th season because I really think there’s much more to explore with Sam, Meg and their families. I can’t believe there’s only 2 more episodes left. *sniff* Damn NBC for cutting the season short.

Not sure why but I went and bought myself another domain — let me introduce Sour-Lemon.org. I thought it might be a good idea to have some space elsewhere just in case my current server decides to explode. Plus, it was a good deal! I have no idea what I’m going to do it with it yet, though. lol.

star wars preview & reality TV

Star Wars: Episode III preview on during The O.C. tomorrow night! YAY!!!

Some spoilers below for Idol, Alias, and Top Model…
So I guess I was completely off the mark on predicting which guys would be voted off on American Idol. I was shocked… and a little disappointed because I really liked both Nikko and Travis (he wasn’t a great singer but he had a great smile :P). The girls were pretty obvious choices in my mind so I wasn’t surprised in the least. All in all, a pretty stellar top 12.

I really enjoyed Alias tonight — especially the nod to Page 47, when Syd stole page 47 while she, Will and Jack were having dinner with Sloane and Emily. Ahhh, the memories. I love little callbacks like that. It was also good to see Dixon FINALLY doing something (anything!). The poor character has practically been an extra for the past few seasons. I want him to go on more missions with Syd! They were awesome partners. I’m also really glad there finally seems to be some set-up for an over-arching plot (Jack and Sloane — the power couple!). This season’s been missing that — like, a link that connects all the episodes together, you know? Stand-alone episodes are great but I love having something to look forward to week after week.

Also remembered to catch America’s Next Top Model tonight. I’m so, so disappointed that Brita was voted off. She was the most gorgeous girl there! I bet it had nothing to do with her photo and everything to do with her age and weight. And they kept Brandy! And her bad attitude! UGH.

My Girl Scout cookie order finally came today. Mmmm, they are so heavenly. I got home from work, started watching TV, and proceeded to eat almost an entire sleeve of Thin Mints. Good grief. I need to practice some self-control.

The girls’ performances on American Idol were pretty disappointing tonight (I thought the guys were *much* better last night). I only liked half of the girls (Nadia, Jessica, Carrie and Vonzell) — the rest were very mediocre performances. Since I made a few guesses on who’s going to get voted off on the guys side, I’ll pick a few from the girls. Let’s see — my money’s on Amanda, Janay or Lindsay. They’re definitely the bottom 3 for me, anyway.

Did you all see the new Harry Potter cover? Just a few more months away!

Mmm. GREAT TV on FOX tonight.

First. Michelle is back on 24. SQUEE. The look on Tony’s face as he saw her walking into CTU? Priceless. They’re so my OTP.

Second. All the guys on American Idol were so much better than I expected (I’ve only seen the girls perform so far this season). I loved Anwar’s performance especially. He rocked that song. I’m pretty horrible at predicting these things but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that either Scott, Anthony or Constantine will not advance to the top 12 on Wednesday.

american dreams on wed?

I can’t believe NBC moved American Dreams to Wednesdays at 8pm (extra special thanks to Barry for letting me know about it). WEDNESDAYS! The day when I watch 4 (FOUR!) shows — Lost, Alias, Smallville, American Idol. Sometimes I’ll even watch Jack and Bobby on Wednesdays but luckily the WB reruns the show on Sundays (phew!). I guess I’m going to have to set both the Tivo and the VCR if I’m going to keep up with my Wednesday shows. ANYWAY. Is NBC trying to KILL the show?! It’s barely getting any viewers on Sundays when it’s against Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, how do they expect it to perform any better when it’s against Lost and American Idol?! I’m so upset. It’s such an amazing show and it seems like it may not get another season. I’m crossing my fingers for more Sam/Meg scenes!

In site news, Alie and I have decided to close the Everwood Network. 🙁 We both just got too busy with other projects (not to mention real life stuff) and had to let something go.

And now for a meme stolen from Amanda…

next top model & ai

Posted on by

I am officially addicted to America’s Next Top Model. Last weekend I happened to come across a marathon of season 3 on VH1 and I pretty much spent my entire Saturday watching all the episodes, hee. Come on, fashion and pretty people? I just couldn’t resist. Plus, when Tyra says “Congratulations, you’re still in the running to becoming America’s Next Top Model” during the eliminations, it makes me laugh and roll my eyes. Cause she says it to EVERY. SINGLE. GIRL. Every week. I was a little disappointed at the winner, though. I mean, Eva? Maybe it’s just me but I wasn’t impressed by her at all. I was rooting for Ann to win — she was absolutely gorgeous but she just couldn’t get it together in front of the camera. Not to mention her bad attitude.

I also started watching American Idol again this week. Well, I watched the girls and the results show so I have no idea how good (or more likely, how bad) the guys are. I was pretty underwhelmed by the girls. I can’t pinpoint a single contestant that really captured me. Maybe it was a bad night? And what in the world is Constantine doing in the top 24?! Is he really that good? I saw him in the season premiere and never imagined that he would get this far. I miss AI season 1.

Did anyone catch the preview for next week’s Smallville? What WAS that?! It’s like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon — Lana Style. OMG. I’m usually a Lana apologist but… there are no words. *shakes head* I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch it.

And WOOHOO!!! Sark FINALLY appears on next week’s Alias! Squee! It’s about time.

the perfect day

My brief (and very very late) comments on The Perfect Day…

I’m going to forget that the Andy/Amanda storyline exists, because the rest of the episode was pretty much perfect (the foursome ditching school to play in the snow — so cute!, Dr. Abbott and Edna getting drunk). This episode definitely reflected “the calm before the [Madison] storm.”

By far my favorite part of the episode was getting to see Bright at work!!! Aww.

Oh, and Bright/Hannah were incredibly cute as well. I’ve been a bit unsure about a romantic relationship for these two but I’m starting to think they could work…

Quotes:
Amy: We’re outlaws, baby. You wanna be Butch or Sundance?
Ephram: Did you just call me baby?
Amy: Yeah, that doesn’t really work for us, does it?

Hannah: I’m uncomfortable.

Hannah: But I never got to pee!

Hannah: I feel like I should just go to church and like throw down some Hail Marys or something.

Hannah: You have nothing to be jealous about since Ephram is your boyfriend and is totally in love with you.
Amy: Yeah, that’s why we spent half the day fighting.
Hannah: Ok, no offense but you are like 50% of the problem when it comes to that.
Amy: Hannah, even if that’s true, you’re not supposed to say it.
BWAH!!!

Ephram: It’s like tragedy’s the only thing we have in common. It’s practically the reason we’re friends.
Bright: At least we all found each other.

I still have 2 (!!!) episodes to catch up on so slowly but surely I’ll be posting my thoughts…

tony has a girlfriend

*sigh* Just got my 24 fix. This show always makes my day feel complete. Hee.

Comments (and possible spoilers) for the 2-3:00 episode…

Thumbs Down:
1. Tony’s girlfriend. I can’t believe he even *has* a girlfriend. I think I went into shock while watching the episode.
2. Mr. Araz. I hope the guy from The Mummy (does he have a name on the show yet?) “takes care” of him. He was creepy in the beginning but now he just seems like a coward.
3. Bitter Tony. I love you but what’s with the attitude? And you drove Michelle away?! My poor little shipper heart.

Thumbs Up:
1. Marianne finally getting caught (And by Edgar! I may have to rethink my annoyance with him). She was such a tedious character.
2. Tony watching soccer in Spanish.
3. Tony drinking a beer in the middle of the day.
4. Tony drinking his beer out of a Cubs mug.
Can you tell I’m a little obsessed with Tony? But my most favorite part of the episode was…
5. JACK AND TONY! IN THE FIELD! TOGETHER AGAIN!

Awesome quotes:
Tony: “Jack, don’t you think I’ve missed enough TV because of you today?”
Jack: “She seems real nice.” (referring to Tony’s girlfriend) BWAH!
Audrey: “I can have him killed.”
Tony: “Actually, I’m currently unemployed.” Heh.
