"Heroes" 4.01 and 4.02 Review

I was beginning to lose interest in Heroes. Not because Season 3 was bad, because it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it fairly enough, but I don't know, I was just seeming uninterested, but with the return of the show, I actually got my Heroes spark back.
.
I love the introduction of these new people with abilities, as I have no idea what to make of them, are they good or bad? I think they're bad, but they're interesting and fresh. My main highlight, of course, is Claire. If the show didn't have her, then the show would be very dull. Hiro was also great in this episode, and I am very sad to hear he is dying, I hope he beats the inevitable.
.
Best thing about the first episode? NO MOHINDER! Best thing about the second episode? NO MOHINDER! Also, I had to put 4x01 and 4x02 together because I couldn't get any photos from 4x01, so I thought I would review them together. Episode 1 was alright for me, but Episode 2 was a lot better. I disliked the college idea before the new season premiered, but now I think it was a great idea. Poor Anne, I was so intrigued by her death, I really thought she was murdered, but turns out she just fell, so that's that out the way, but Gretchen saw Claire act out her death to find out the truth and lived. Excited to see them two develop, though I know exactly where it's leading - a ratings stunt!
.
I actually liked Peter in both episodes also, I used to hate him with a passion, thinking he was better than everyone, but I thought he was average. Sylar is also getting boring, I wish he would just die already. The whole Sylar/Nathan thing is going to blow up in Angela's face with fatal consequences. I also LOVED Tracy in the episode, I thought she was going to be a villain, but turns out she just needs a helping hand to get her life back on track.
.
All in all, I think this season may just be the best season yet. Here's to hoping.

"Lost" Season Four Review

Well I finished the season like ages ago but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to be able to review it. I am very glad I got into Lost finally, and I'm loving the series, but I have to be brutally honest when I say this wasn't my favourite season at all, and is probably my least favourite. I still loved the season, but it didn't feel as much "Lost" as I thought it should have, quite a weak beginning of the season, however it did get stronger as it went along.

.

I wasn't a fan of the new characters introduced- Charlotte, Faraday and Miles, I found them a little strange, and I didn't take well with them. But as I said, it gets better, and I did grow to like Charlotte and Miles, but I still wasn't a fan of Faraday. One of the best episodes of the season I think would be "The Shape of Things to Come", with (spoilers ahead) the death of Alex, Danielle's estranged daughter, who I really liked and I thought she was really good and I didn't want it to happen, and I really liked Danielle as well, I was so used to her being there, and then it happened in the episode before.

.

Lost never fail to deliver amazing finales, and I adored the season four finale as I did with the first three. I wish I had of reviewed sooner because my memory is so bad that I've forgot like half of the season already, and I also thought that Sun's performance when Jin seemed to have been killed on the Freighter explosion was so powerful and amazing that it was award-worthy, acting this season (and every season) has been so fantastic.

"Ghost Whisperer" Season 4 DVD Artwork

Finally, they released the Season 4 DVD cover!!! And I'm actually a little disappointed.

.

After the huge long wait for it, finally being released a month and a half after the season ended, even though DVD artworks for other shows were released as early as January, and I was so looking forward to seeing it, and in my honest opinion, its the worst cover out of all 4! It does sound pretty strong, and I do love the cover, but its the weakest of all four.

.

Don't get me wrong, I love Jim, but did they have to put him on the cover? I know lots of fans will disagree, but I so loved Melinda being the sole person on the cover, and they kind of ruined that tradition. I know Jim played an important role in the season, and probably put him on the cover because he died, but did they put Andrea on the cover of Season 1? Or at least use a better picture of Jim, I mean really, was that the best they could find?

.

Season Three's cover was very creative, they obviously took their time with it and the background was gorgeous, as was the picture of Melinda. She is gorgeous on the front of Season 4 though, a great picture to use, but I don't like how they stepped down from last season. And the tagline? The way it is put on, quite big and red, it really looks out of place, and Love Never Dies? Couldn't they have used the prominent tagline from season 4 instead of a Season 2 episode name? "Love Transcends Death" would have been better and relevant to the season.

.

I still love it of course, I just hope they don't release it in the UK like seven months after the US release like Season 3, it so isn't fair.

Supernatural Season Four DVD Artwork

'Scary' Supernatural is brought to life in

Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season

A while ago, the boxart for Supernatural's fourth season DVD was revealed, and I fell in love with it instantly. It's my favourite cover out of all seasons of Supernatural. I live in the UK, so I got Supernatural 1-3 on Region 2. The thing thats different from the Supernatural DVDs in Region 1 is that Season 1 for Region 2 is huge, whereas Season 2 is skinnier, and Season 3 even skinnier. And the sides of Region 2 don't have pictures on and don't really match on the side, except Season 1, that had a picture on the side.

But Region 1 DVDs are all the same size, width and they all match on the side with the title and pictures, and they save a lot more space on my shelf. So I recollected Seasons 1-3 on Region 1, as I did with Desperate Housewives, and they look so much better. I pre-ordered Season 4 from Amazon.com a while ago. It will be released on Tuesday September 1, 2009 for Region 1.

But here is a look at the front and rear artwork for the fourth season's DVD, exclusive from TvShowsOnDVD.com

Supernatural 4.22- Lucifer Rising

Now this was a season finale worth waiting for.

I began watching Supernatural over a year now and it has grown to be one of my favourite television shows of all time as I love horror stuff and urban legends and what Supernatural is basically all about. It's like a darker version of Charmed but instead of 3 sisters there are 2 brothers fighting evil.

I love the name for starters, it like connects with the first episode of the season (Lazarus Rising). The whole season [four] has been building up to this, and I loved the whole 666 seals but only 66 have to be broken and it seems like an impossible mission. There is one seal left, and Sam doesn't know what it is.

The fight between Sam and Dean in the previous episode was pretty intense, but it was quite good to see, now the brothers seem to be fighting each other as well as the evil that threaten their lives- Dean has sided with Castiel and the Angels, as Sam has sided with Ruby, a demon. I really was stunned to find that Ruby was actually manipulating Sam all this time to get him to break the final seal, and I preferred Katie Cassidy's portrayal of Ruby rather than Genevieve Cortese, but Genevieve is still a great actress.

I think the final shot could have been done better. What I was hoping for was the viewers to see Lucifer actually rise from Hell, looking all ugly and creepy and downright scary and saying a quirky witty line that symbolizes, of course, the apocolypse. Instead the screen went all white and that was the end of the season.

Cliffhangers have been quite weak for most shows this 2008-2009 television season. But overall, I loved the finale, and the whole season in general.

Ghost Whisperer 4.23- Book of Changes

It seems that the television season finales this year have been a little disappointing, and I have to say I love Ghost Whisperer, but the finale was disappointing.

The first thing I hated was Eli James. All season he has been in the spotlight and I really don't like him, I think he kinda ruined the season for me, but all in all, I did enjoy season four. Now the finale should have been about Melinda and Jim, and the beginning and end were about them 2, but unfortunatly the whole middle, which was most of the episode, Eli had more lines than Melinda, Jim, Delia and Ned combined.

The second thing that really made me disappointed is that it had no usual cliffhanger. The cliffhanger in season one was Romano creeping up behind Andrea's spirit (love Andrea, I miss her so much), and the second season finale's cliffhanger was Melinda having died was resurrected and reveals she has a brother- Gabriel. And season three's cliffhanger (which is my favourite season thus far) had the six characters but only five shadows. Was one of them dead? Was one of them going to die? These things make me gag for the next season, but I'm not looking forward to Season 5 as much as I would be if I had of been left on a cliffhanger.

But, the positives are the fact that ANDREA MARINO was mentioned and her name was seen in the Book of Changes. I am so thrilled that they included her (I asked Aisha Tyler if Andrea was coming back, she told me she had no plans with Ghost Whisperer at the minute). At the end when all the spirits appear to attend Melinda's and Sam's wedding, I have in my mind that one of them was Andrea, it isn't confirmed or anything, but I like to think she was there.

And also the ending was really heartwarming with Melinda and Sam's wedding, it was such a sweet way to end. But I didn't want sweet, I wanted creepy cliffhanger!!
