"One Tree Hill" 7.02 Review

Now this episode was much better than the premiere, and I mean by like 95%. It may not have done better in ratings, but it sure did better for me to put more belief into the show, hoping it will carry on. I still miss Peyton like crazy, but Peyton was mentioned (and even seen) a lot in this episode, so it was if she never left.
.
Brooke was much better this episode, and showed hints of the old Brooke for which I love. Her rants were quite funny to see, and I can see Brooke becoming a much better character in the near future. I think the show is relying more on comedy now though more than drama, as it is hardly dramatic anymore, but the comedy isn't necessarily a bad thing, and they even produced one of the best lines of the whole series- Haley: "Who's the bitch now, bitch".
.
I don't really care for Nathan, and I wouldn't mind if they wrote him out, but I guess because James Laffery doesn't have any career outside One Tree Hill, then he's sticking with the show. Him having to tell Haley about getting someone else pregnant, or at least what we're led to believe, finally showed some drama to the show. Rachel Gatina! She came back, and how pleased am I, they needed her to save this season I think, as she gave us some great moments, and great surprises- Dan's wife?! Can't wait to see how Nathan, Haley and Brooke react to that!
.
Skills was alright in the episode, I usually don't like him, but he was admittedly funny this episode. Millicent was also one of the stars of the show this episode, couldn't help but love her loads. Julian was also okay this episode, he was a bit too moody though- brighten up!
.
So far, it's turning out to be a promising season, though I crave a Peyton return.

"Heroes" Season Three Review

Heroes is a show I came to begin watching mid-last year. I didn't exactly fall in love with it or anything, it's just a show I like. Season One was very good, I enjoyed most storylines and there were some stand-out episodes, such as "Homecoming" and "How to Stop an Exploding Man". My favourite character was Claire, and even Nikki. I couldn't stand Mohinder, actually I still can't stand Mohinder, he is so useless and boring, they even tried to make him interesting in Season 3, but it didn't work, it just made him look desperate.
.
Sylar is a great villain, but I'm getting a bit bored of him now, I mean there are only a number of times you can defeat a villain once, but Sylar is like a bad boomerang, and I'm ready to throw that far, far away and hope it never comes back. Season 3 was a great season, possibly my favourite Heroes season so far. It was split into two volumes, "Villains" and "Fugitives".
.
I enjoyed the Villains volume more than Fugitives, but they were both entertaining nonetheless. I was glad to see Elle come back after a few episodes absense, and I loved the "Dying of the Light" episode, with the man who can control people as if they were puppets. The best part of the Volume was probably when Elle became closer to Sylar, only to get killed by him, bless her, I liked her. The finale of the volume was intense and very dramatic and action-packed.
.
I did enjoy Fugitives, I loved the plot how Nathan was capturing people with powers, including some of the Heroes, and taking them to a place against their will. The season was nicely set-up, and another favourite character of mine died, Daphne, it was a beautifully written and acted episode for sure, one of my all-time favourite Heroes episodes.
