HUMAN TARGET "Taking Ames"

2010-12-01T21:03:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure I like the new girl at all. I like Indira Varma as "Ilsa Pucci," although she can get in the way a bit. But I really don't like Janet Montgomery. I'm thinking they could have found someone not so over the top. And was the really hard NY accent needed?

I still love the show and will be heartbroken if it doesn't go another season, which I'm thinking it won't. But what do they expect when they start the season of early mid season. On a different night, and I think they are going to change it again. Who has time to search for shows.

I have few pleasures when it comes to television these days. I'm very close to not watching much of anything, but I am in this business and want to know what's in the market and what the market needs.

Oh well, crossing fingers and toes this show doesn't go away.

Masterpiece Mystery! Sherlock: A Study in Pink

2010-10-31T13:41:00.001-07:00

Can I just say how exciting and fun it was to watch this first episode of the new, modern Shelock Holmes? I wish I had been the one to think of it.

I love how the creators and the character describe him as a high functioning sociopath. The fact that he has no clue as to how to act around other people and how it's explained early on, I found refreshing. I was thrilled by how he compares how his brain works to others.

The subtle showing of the phone texting or how he knows the streets and routes that a car have to take, how they show it on screen, like his head is a computer. Just brilliant.

Benedict Cumberbatch was an inspired choice as Sherlock. He gives so much credibility to the character, it's hard to know that he's just acting.

I like Martin Freeman, HOT FUZZ and THE OFFICE (The British Version) is great as Dr. Watson. His emotional issues, along with is familial issues and dedication to being honorable are great.

Wonderful acting all around. So smart, so fun, so interesting. I can't wait for the next episode to air.

FOX renews LIE TO ME and HUMAN TARGET

2010-05-16T16:56:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged in a while because I have a regular job that takes up too much of my time now. The need for money is strong. But I digress. I am writing because I'm so happy that fox has picked up LIE TO ME and HUMAN TARGET for another season. Even if they are only 13 episode orders, I'm thrilled. I love both shows for various reasons... I think LIE TO ME is smart and funny at the same time. I think the writing is impeccable and the acting is superb. I like HUMAN TARGET because it's like watching the best parts of DIE HARD for an hour, with generally a fun conclusion as well as a little mystery about Chance's origins. Can't wait to find out more about the character and if the mysterious woman is really dead or not.

Anyway, wanted to take a moment to comment and show the love for FOX picking up two of my new favorite shows.

HUMAN TARGET "Lockdown"

2010-02-17T20:54:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is what I like about this show. The little tidbits of information that they parcel out to us each episode that keep someone like me very intrigued. Like this episode when Chance is talking out how the "Corporate Man" is sticking it to the little guy employee and he says to Winston, "Don't look at me like that. This isn't about me or what I went through." You just want to scream, WHAT?! But at the same time its so enticing. It slightly explains how Chance knows so much about everything. Was he some kind of kid genius who got caught up in doing something that was illegal, obviously changed his life in big ways. Just so curious to know more. I like that they are only giving me bits that will keep me interested. Hopefully it won't get old.

I still thing that Jackie Earl Haley lucked into the best role on the show.

2010-02-15T21:31:00.000-08:00

Okay... Did I say it last week or did I not say it? Dana actually thought Kevin, the low life loser, and his partner would stick to their agreement to leave her alone after giving them access to money so easily. She can't be that stupid. Someone with her intelligence, able to get that kind of job at CTU can't be that stupid. I mean, COME ON! Dana can't be so dumb as not to be able to set these nimrods up. I meant the two of them have the brain power of a frozen pea. She has to think better than just reacting to the situation.

And didn't Jack tell Hastings that Renee wasn't fit do be doing the job? But Hasting forced the issue and made her continue.

Then one of my biggest pet peeves with shows is continuity. The person who is in charge of watching to make sure cigarettes aren't at different length because of scene cuts or bowls on a table are the same if they cut and come back to it. But in this episode, Sergei is cooking while talking to his son and he takes a metal mixing bowl and pours it's contents into a pot. But at the bottom of the mixing bowl was a white label/barcode sticker. This is obviously a well worn kitchen and no one would have the barcode label on the bottom of the bowl. What is happening with this show. Someone's getting paid good money to watch stuff like this and make sure it doesn't happen and they are doing a piss poor job.

HUMAN TARGET "Run"

2010-02-10T22:22:00.000-08:00

Carmine's Back! Such a cute dog.

I started laughing so hard when Guerrero shocks the big guy with the ankle bracelet then he's interested in the idea of a microwave oven for the woman with a tracker in her belly. This is a great role for Jackie Earl Haley. He just gets better, funnier and crazier with each episode.

Chance knows a lot about everything. The why his character comes up with languages, legal or medical information, etc., just makes you more and more curious about his story.

Watching this show is like watching a mini action film every week and all I can say is I appreciate that. I'm liking it more and more. They had a slip in a moment with that embassy episode, but they've rebounded since then with two really fun episodes to watch.

I can't say more about Guerrero. I love that character.

PAST LIFE "Pilot"

2010-02-09T22:26:00.000-08:00

Concepts interesting, but I find the execution to be a little boring. I can't even imagine how Fox picked this show up.

The lead actress, Kelli Giddish is so one note. There are no levels of emotion in her acting at all. I know she's supposed to be a scientist, but Richard Schiff's character is much better. They would have done better combining those characters into one. Highly intelligent, yet emotional.

There was nothing compelling about the pilot. I can only give it a few more episodes and hope that it gets better.

Best thing about the show was the closing song by Coldpay. I really like that song.

CASTLE "Suicide Squeeze"

2010-02-08T23:43:00.000-08:00

I liked the idea that this episode explored Castle's heritage a bit. He and his mother say they are from con artist and circus folk, which was funny. But Alexis trying to make up for his lack of having a father was touching and sweet.

As usually Nathan Fillion delivered his lines expertly and did Stana Katic. They have a great working chemistry. I loved it when Castle got excited and expressed that he would rub lotion all over her. Knowing what Beckett's response would be.

Not as exciting as past episodes, but still sweet.

HOUSE "5 to 9"

2010-02-08T23:35:00.001-08:00

Great episode, where it was all about Cuddy. I can't believe how many people called that poor woman a "bitch" in one day. I like how this episode showed everything from her point of view. Most people only see their own side of things and this was a way of seeing a different perspective. She was tough but firm, kept her cool in very difficult circumstances, especially when people weren't being very nice to her. She handled herself with grace. I wish I was good at keeping my cool like that.

I like Lisa Edelstein. She's very good on this show.

CHUCK "Chuck vs. The Mask"

2010-02-08T22:03:00.000-08:00

What is with Brandon Routh not being able to get a job other than a recurring role on CHUCK? Now I'm not belittling the show, I'm wondering why the show couldn't have reached higher than Brandon Routh. He was a terrible Superman and he's even worse on this show. I mean this is a guy who only lasted a few months on the soap he was on before getting SUPERMAN RETURNS.

What I do like is that Kristin Kreuk has joined for a while. I like her for some reason. I think she plays the same thing in everything she does, but I like it.

LIE TO ME - I Miss It!

2010-02-08T21:36:00.000-08:00

This show has been off the air since right before the holidays and I have to admit that I miss it a lot. I keep waiting to see when it's coming back.

I really enjoy THE MENTALIST, but this show has more a of a sense of danger in it than the other show. I am surprised that I like it so much because it started airing after THE MENTALIST had already been on and I thought there was no way that a clone could survive. Obviously the underlying story isn't the same with the lead characters. Tim Roth is the boss of this firm with more of an edge to him. He has a major attraction to his partner, but still is in love with his ex-wife. I love the interaction between the characters of Eli and Torres and how they good naturedly try to one up each other. THE MENTALIST is more of a schticky type comedy with minor elements of drama. I like them both but am really missing LIE TO ME....

COME BACK SOON!

Returning Late Spring 2010

24 "Day 8: 9:00 PM-10:00 PM"

2010-02-06T14:49:00.000-08:00

I really love this show, but I hate what they are doing to it. I've said it before, as always, no one listens to Jack. The current head of the CTU is willing to risk Renee's mental state and not listen to Jack in order to get this deal done. Now, I understand that there is the risk of nuclear material getting into the hands of the wrong people, but she could also cause the wrong people to know that the government is on to them. She's too risky of a variable being so unstable and of course no one will listen to Jack's opinion of the situation.

The constant sexual harassment by Arlo is way too much. Dana could have him fired and the fact that she constantly lets it go is ridiculous. I would be so board with him that I would have had him fired just so I could do my job and not have to deal with listening to his mouth. It's just stupid especially since her fiancé could probably snap him like a twig, being a CTU field agent.

Dana's past coming back to haunt her also kinda bugs me. I would rather risk having the guy who I'm supposed to be marrying upset with me and lose my job rather then have Kevin holding my past over my head and potentially going to jail because of some stupid illegal job he wants me to do. I mean, this loser gets out of jail and the biggest take he can think of is for six figures? If you are going to take a risk, think bigger than an amount you make working at an office job. I know the average salary isn't for six figures, but it would be more worth it to work at McDonalds than to steal six figure from some crazy heist they've thrown together in five minutes. Dana can't be so stupid to think that Kevin will let her go after this heist. She's just proving how valuable she is to him by going along with him. She has to be smarter than that. Also, what's with her hair always being to one side? I hate it. look normal, why don't you.

I love the thought process of criminals. What they want is always more important than anyone else or their safety. Josef is so twisted. He thinks because a man is doctor he can somehow miraculously help his brother survive radiation poisoning by giving him some pills. The guy gets sick by doing something criminal, but Josef believes everyone else should jump through hoops. The doctor and his staff are killed because criminals decided they needed care for something they did to themselves during a criminal act. Boggles the mind.

If Sergei could kill his youngest son, what makes Josef think he's immune from his father's wrath? You can't work with someone who has no interest in your well being. You could be next and being family obviously means nothing to the man.

FRINGE "Jacksonville"

2010-02-04T20:33:00.000-08:00

John Noble is an incredibly talented man, whom I don't remember every seeing him in anything before. His portrayal of Walter Bishop is both endearing and frightening at the same time. How this mans brain works and what he's capable of thinking into existence. His childlike demeanor with the working mind of a genius is played so well.

I been wondering when they would revealed that Peter was from the other side. That being said, once Olivia opens her mind to the other side, she becomes aware that Peter is from the other side.

I like that Peter and Olivia are finally spending time together, but will him being from the other side keep them from starting a real relationship?

Apparently this is the Winter Finale of Fringe. It doesn't come back until April 1st. I don't know if I can wait that long. Obviously I will have to, but I don't like it.

BONES "The Dvil in the Details"

2010-02-04T20:32:00.000-08:00

I really like the banter between Booth and Bones, especially when religion is involved. Her chronic rational and his unwavering belief makes for some fun dialogue. Then the story goes into another field that Temperance has no tolerance for, Psychiatry. I thought Dr. Copeland's (Joshua Molina) takedown of Bones was good. Made her think.

I laughed so hard when Hodgins hit himself in the head with the Nunchaku. He is always so excited to conduct an experiment and he started out well, but when he went down, I couldn't contain myself. And the bow before he started just made the whole scene just classic to watch. I laughed when he called Arastoo a Persian Ninja, then crawled to his workspace to check the results of the experiment. I had to watch it multiple times cause I thought it was so funny.

This was a good episode. Well written.

FIGHT SCIENCE "Fight Like an Animal"

2010-02-04T18:24:00.000-08:00

The Fight science team compare five traditional Kung Fu fighting styles inspired by the animal kingdom to see how humans fighters really compare to the animals they emulate. The lighting fast strike of the snake, balance and evasiveness of the crane, the deadly accuracy of the praying mantis, the agility of the monkey and the raw power and fearless aggression of the tiger. They try to determine if the martial artists using animal style Kung Fu, can effectively mimic their animals that inspire them.

First, can a martial artist strike with the speed of a snake. They use a Beijing Wushu national champion, Li Ging, to test her speed against an albino western diamond back rattlesnake. The snake hits a ballon so fast, you can barely see it. They were filming the snake at a 1000 frames per second to slow it down and look at its motion. The snake struck at 4.65 inches in 29.5 milliseconds, which is over 13 feet per second. Li Ging struck a moving polyurethane life-size head form, which is moving to simulate a live opponent. She struck they eye at 4.2 meter's per second, traveling 15.5 inches in 90.4 milliseconds equaling 13.78 feet per seconds. Almost 5% faster than the snake and with perfect accuracy. She was a little faster. She was so excited.

Second, the Crane who is know for balance, grace, evasion. Glen Levy, martial arts instructor, stunt man, and fight coordinator. Glen stands on an 8 inch wide pedestal on a 2.5 inch diameter pole called plumflower polls, a classic training tool used by martial artists to develop balance and focus. The Fight Science team puts pressure sensors in his shoes to determine how he's balancing and changes his center of gravity and they have an opponent throw ninja stars at Glen to try to knock him off the polls. The stars have been dulled so as not to break skin, but they can still hurt. The person throwing them is highly trained. Glen moves from 2 feet to 4 feet off the ground. He keeps his center of gravity stays pretty consistent. Then he moves up to 6 feet and the poll has much more sway. The highest he goes is 8 feet. Then they have him him two 60 lb. blocks of ice, something he's never attempted before, which he does at 1500 pounds of force, equal to a bat swinging at 112 miles per hour. Crazy to watch.

Third, the Praying Mantis. Wong Wei has to snatch as many flies out of the air in 60 seconds. A Praying Mantis strike is something like 140th of a second. Humans are 5 times slower than that. A fly's reaction time is 150th of a second, 12 times faster than the average human. He caught 7 flies in midflight. Amazing to watch and how he used the wind from his arms to move the flies away from him and catching them. His wrist was going 8 miles per hour and his finger was going 15 miles per hours, far beyond normal human reactions.

Watching how training and your mind work to create the ability to do things without even thinking about it or causing the brain and reaction to be split seconds apart.

The use Danny, a free runner, who has incorporated the monkey style movements into his training. Watching him move across the "monkey bars" was amazing. This guy was incredible. I have to say this was the most impressive to watch.

Finally, the tiger. Tiger style Kung Fu, which copies intense emotions. Bren Foster is the kung fu expert, who is HOT! What couldn't believe i was watching was when the let the real tiger out of his cage. A rattle snake is one thing, but a real 600 lb. tiger against a real 176 lb man?.... CRAZY! The animal wrangler instructs the crew, that if she somehow comes loose from her cable, DO NOT RUN. Running makes you look like prey. He tells them to stand where they are and do not move. With the tiger "only" playing a single swipe of her claw generate 1400 pounds of pressure. Bren's strike was 2600 pounds for force. But the cat was playing. Experts estimates is over 10,000 pounds of force.

This show is totally inspiring me to get into shape and to know that my mind and body can accomplish anything I want it to.

I still say this is the best show on television, not only because of what the human body is able to accomplish, but how the show graphics and explaining illustrates. All i can say every time i watch this show is.... WOW!

HUMAN TARGET "Sanctuary"

2010-02-03T22:28:00.000-08:00

Now this episode was better than the last one. I was getting a little concerned that the pilot was going to be the only good episode. I'm intrigued by Chance and Guerrero's past. I definitely want to know who this woman, Katherine, was that Chance can't seem to get out of his head and especially who the people are who blame him for whatever happened to her. I liked how, at first you think Guerrero is going to double cross Chance and Winston, but then he kills the guy who is after Chance for whatever reason.

Jackie Earl Haley is really good at this role. I realize it's kind of one dimensional in some ways, but I like it for now and I like the mystery behind almost everything he does. He's very dark and has a way of boiling everything down to it's simplist point.

The writing was particularly funny when Chance is telling Winston to defuse the bombs like he did before, which wasn't him but Guerrero. I also liked when the bad guy thinks Winston won't shoot him because his posture is like a cop. But of course he does shoot the guy and proclaims that he's retired.

Good writing. Still love the action. Hoping some of the intrigue or mystery of all of their pasts is pulled more into the storyline. Not that it has to come out right away or even this season. But giving us the little tidbits here and there, makes the show more fun to watch.

What happened to Carmine? He's such a cute dog.

FIGHT SCIENCE "Ultimate Soldiers"

2010-02-01T23:51:00.000-08:00

This was one of the best reality shows I've seen in a long time. It always amazes me what the human body and brain can accomplish. In this episode they tested a Marine Sniper in extreme conditions of heat of 130 degrees, packed in ice for an hour and then covered in bugs, and he made each shot between heartbeats. The only one he slightly missed on was with the bugs and I think it's because they put so many in and he was being stung by something at the time. They had tarantulas, scorpions, large cockroaches and slug worms all over him. All while laying in a plexiglass sniper box they made. it's was wild to watch.

Then they took an Airforce Fighter pilot put him in a gyroscope and had him type responses to questions. He did just fine. Heart beat barely changed. They they took an Army Ranger and had him do the same thing. He did well, but was sweating like crazy from it. They were in the gyroscope for 9 minutes each. Then they had a civilian with no training do it and he didn't last 5 minutes before telling them to stop. He got out of the gyroscope and was dizzy and throwing up.

Then they simulated high altitude climbing with the Army Ranger, who's trained to do this. wearing a 60 lb. vest to simulate the gear he would be wearing on a mission, he climbed on an 11 foot rotating climbing wall at a simulation 15,000 feet in altitude, then he had to drop down shoot at a target that pops out from behind something. But one target was unarmed an the other was armed. He hit the armed guy center mass. They they tried testing the Fighter Pilot, who immediately said that if he was at some high altitude, no longer in his plane, then he would have jettisoned for some reason and would be waiting for the Army Ranger to come save him. He didn't last 2 minutes before he started having a hard time holding on and his heart rate shot through the roof. They stopped him before he was ready to stop, but he knew he wasn't feeling well.

They then had the Army Ranger climb again at 20,000 foot simulated altitude, with a drop down and firing at the armed person. He totally passed the test. Its amazing to watch.

Next, they try to drown (not literally) a Navy Seal. Part of the Navy Seal training is called Drown Proofing. It teaches them to swim with hands and feet bound, teaching them not to panic underwater. They put the Seal in a 12 foot tank of water, measuring 64 degrees fahrenheit, for 5 minutes, where he uses a bobbing technique to push off the bottom of the tank to come up for a breaths of air. They put a weighted vest on him for added test. They don't do this in Navy Seal training. Because the first test is such a piece of cake for him they end up adding weight and make it a 50 lb. weighted vest. He did well so they add another 25 lbs. The 75 lbs. finally stop him. He lost his balance and couldn't get his feet under him, so the diver with oxygen had to come to his rescue. But he did a few bobs before losing to the weighted vest.

I couldn't believe it when they tried it on the same civilian who couldn't take the gyroscope. That guy is a gluten for punishment or they are paying him a mint. There is no way I would do any of that without training first.

I really like when the show the graphics of what they body does when it's working at peak efficiency or when it's struggling to save your life. So crazy and exciting to watch. Really amazing. Can't wait to see the next episode, "Fight Like an Animal," where they take a look at martial arts techniques inspired by the animal kingdom. JUST COOL!

This was the worst ending to a show I've ever seen. I feel like I missed something. Now, i didn't miss the first 9 minutes of the show as my DVR screwed up. But I just have no idea what was happening there. I feel like i wasted so much of my life watching the few episodes that did air.

This series went all over the world and back again. As an independent producer trying to find my way in this business, it angers me that someone could get this junk on the air and even a second season, no matter how short, when I know I have better taste than what was just on the television.

It sickens me. But doesn't keep me from going after my goal.

LEVERAGE "The Zanzibar Marketplace Job"

2010-01-27T19:34:00.000-08:00

Directed by Jeremiah Chechick, this episode was like watching LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. The first shot that Elliot takes and they do the stop motion where you can see the spit flying out of James Sterling's mouth.

This is finally a good episode without Sophie.

Everyone was well used, and the writing was funny. Parker was great exchanging the bomb for the egg. Hardison was funny and smart, and Eliot was right on, from fighting to running the team at the end. Still think Jeri Ryan's best role for her was Seven of Nine, but she's growing on me.

Digressing... One show I miss more than I thought I would is LIE TO ME. When is that show coming back on?

WHITE COLLAR "Bad Judgement"

2010-01-27T19:06:00.000-08:00

I liked a few things about this episode. Willie Garson was used a lot more. I liked how he and Tiffani Thiessen (Elizabeth) became friendly enough to call each other by shortened versions of their names, thereby causing Peter to be a little concerned.

But the story with the judge on the take was a little contrived and seemed too easy. I also had one of my biggest pet peeves happen... It's called continuity. When the ex-cop pays for the coffee in the diner, he puts down four dollars and seventy-six cents, which is what Neal said. But when they pan to the money, there's no penny in the mix. Neal even pushes it around so you can see what's under what. I HATE THAT! It's like an episode i saw of a show before I started doing this blog when a girl wasn't wearing her coat when you saw her talking but when the camera was facing the other person they cut to, which she was speak to, you could plainly see she had a coat on that she had previously taken off. Makes me crazy.

I know shows are filled with people and incredibly hard to make and put out each week, but that's why there is a person on the set responsible for continuity. Just get it together with bot the story and the obvious mistakes and maybe I'll be nicer later.

2010-01-27T18:53:00.000-08:00

I really liked Jackie Earle Haley in this episode. When he walked away from the phone conversation before they could even ask him to go find out where they could have gotten poisoned, was funny. He never says more than what's necessary and must be pretty bad ass to scare people so easily.

I like Mark Valley and I like the idea of the show, but I'm scared they are trying to be too much of a moment in Die Hard to be a show telling me more about the characters and what their backgrounds are. But I guess that's the intended mystery of the show. Hopefully they will fill in more of the blanks as time goes on.

2010-01-25T23:01:00.000-08:00

See... That's what I'm talking about. Tonight, Alexis had more to do in this episode and their interaction was hysterical. I also laughed out loud when Beckett found out about the article in the paper saying that she and Castle could possibly be an item. I like how she got a little upset when he told her about bachelorette number three being interested in him. I hate when they take forever for the leads to learn to like each other. Maybe this will happen faster.

Then when Castle and Beckett are at the same location for dinner, they both keep talking about their case and can't seem to stay away from each other, converging in the lobby multiple times to discuss theories and talk to the guys at the office.

Esposito was particularly funny tonight also, when he was tempting Castle with showing the newspaper article.

EMMA "Part 1 of 3"

2010-01-24T22:36:00.000-08:00

I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen. Although Persuasion is probably my favorite, Emma is a very close second. This version is nice because it's a little more involved than a two hour movie version would be. I am in anticipation of some of my favorite parts of the story which ill probably not air in this part.

I like the acting of Romola Garai and Johnny Lee Miller. Michael Gambon can read the newspaper and I would think he was good.

Jane Austen stories are the best to be translated to film or television. I'm looking forward to the other installments.

NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE "Truth or Dare"

2010-01-20T20:05:00.000-08:00

This episode was really funny. I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus with Blair Underwood. I love how Christine takes anything from Mr. Harris because he's supposedly so hot. How her brother, ex-husband and even her new boyfriend think Mr. Harris is beautiful.

I loved Max's (Eric McCormack) response when Matthew shows him Mr. Harris' picture on the screensaver of his phone and tells Max that Mr. Harris broke up with Christine and she was devastated when it happened. My favorite line, "Once you go Mr. Harris, you never go back."

It was so funny when Wanda Sykes said Christine would do anything on a dare and they all sat around thinking he was a fool for letting her go on a date with Mr. Harris.

When this show is on, it's brilliant. My favorite was the episode when she thought she was going through Menopause. I swear I laughed so hard I cried. If my Tivo hadn't have broken, I would still have that episode to watch over and over again.

CHUCK "Chuck vs. Operation Awesome"

2010-01-20T04:43:00.000-08:00

In my effort to watch things that I don't normally watch or expand my horizons in general, I've watched the last three episodes of CHUCK and am still not drawn in. I'm sure they've created the show this way on purpose, but everyone is so over the top except for Sarah. They are all like caricatures.

I'm giving the show one more episode, but if someone loves this show, please tell me what I'm missing.
