"Supernatural" 5.02 Review

I definetly loved this episode a lot more than the premiere, though both episodes were perfect in my opinion (though Episode 1 could have done with much improvement). Again, with Supernatural, it steps up its game every episode that passes, or so far, so I hope this continues.
.
I am glad Castiel wasn't in the episode much, he is beginning to grate on me with his "holier than thou" routine and "look at my higher status" attitude. He has a face I just wanna slap and is turning into Eli James 2.0 if he doesn't learn how to smile at least once. I was looking forward to seeing Jo and Elle in this episode, as I liked both, and missed them also. The storyline was captivating, with Sam and Dean having to go to a derelict town where people seem to be going demented and turning against each other. Turns out one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse is making people think who they are looking at are demons. Great!
.
The ending shocked me quite a bit, as small as it was, I was actually astonished that the brothers are going their separate ways. Even though they have been at each other's throats for a while now, it's still quite hard to imagine a brotherly bond like theirs has stretched to the point where it's snapped. I do hope they are reunited, mainly for the fact that I hear Dean will be teaming up with Castiel in Episode 3, and that would mean more Castiel :( The joy! I am really not looking forward to that.
.
Negative! Why the hell do the creative team not think of something good for a change? I mean really, the War Horseman of the Apocolypse looks like EVERYTHING else in the show - human! Demons look like humans, Angels look like humans, and now the Horseman of the Apocolypse? I mean really! Has their budget been cut to the point that the show doesn't have any supernatural look to it at all? Are they going to just stick bad guys in clothes and throw them on set? Change this please, and fast.

"Supernatural" 5.01- Sympathy for the Devil Review

Supernatural ended last season with a great cliffhanger- Lucifer Rising! They had an amazing concept and I was soo excited for Season 5. Even though I loved, loved, loved the episode, "Sympathy for the Devil" was a little disappointing. I wasn't very disappointed, and I still gave the episode a 10, there was just a few things I realized while watching.
.
The show is called Supernatural? There isn't anything supernatural about it anymore. We've had the Angels storyline for a year now, and it's getting old and boring. There is nothing creative about Supernatural, as every single Angel looks like a human, and now the Devil does- where is the creativity in that? Demons and Angels look exactly the same, and the only difference is Demons sometimes get black eyes- wow! The show isn't scary anymore either, it's relying too heavily on Dean's sarcasm as comedy for the show to still be successful- I want the scares back.
.
The episode was great, no doubt about it, and I got a surprise when Bobby attacked Dean, so I was glad that happened. I did feel a little sorry for Sam since he was the one who made Lillith die and opened Hell, but it was by accident, so I can't really blame him too much.

Find Yourself with "Lost" Season 5 DVD

The fifth season of ABC's LOST will hit stores in America on December 8, 2009. I pre-ordered this DVD quite a while ago now, I absolutely adore the season, it is my favourite season so far of Lost, and to have it in my collection will be amazing, but since I got it from Amazon.com, and I live in the UK, it may take up to 2-4 weeks to arrive to me, so it could be just before or just after Christmas when I get it.
.
I am quite sad that this is the penultimate season, and that Season 6 will be the last, especially since I'm basically a new fan. But I have high hopes for Season 6 (I hope Shannon will come back, and I am so glad Claire has been confirmed to be a regular), and I know that I will not be disappointed.

"Lost" Season Five Review


Best Season Yet. I am seriously in love with this series now. The finale was just the best finale yet, and I absolutely adored the whole series, and in my opinion, the best series in the 2008-2009 season, I have really grown to love Lost profoundly.
.
I wish I watched the series sooner, and I passed judgment on it before I even seen an episode and I shouldn't have. But now that I have seen it all so far, I am very glad I changed my opinion and decided to watch the series. It was quite a confusing season with the whole time-travelling fiascos, but I definetly enjoyed it. And poor Charlotte, when she died I felt sorry fo her, as I do when everyone on the show dies.
.
I loved how all the pieces started to connect, like the Dharma Initiative was explored more and Faraday's mother, which was quite a shocking surprise when she killed him in the past and never knew who he was. When I was losing interest with Lost from last season, this season sure picked up the series and took it to a whole new level of amazement, and I can't repeat myself enough when I say I love it.
.
Now the finale. The finale was fantastic. The huge build up was intense, and the whole episode shone from the whole season. It was the finale that made Season 5 the best for me. Now I am a huge Juliet fan, and I love her to bits, and when the chains wrapped around her and dragged her down the huge hole, I was devastated, I thought she was dead, and I was in tears. Then in the last minute, it shows that she isn't dead, and the bomb that they threw down there before hadn't exploded. So Juliet detonates the bomb, leaving the series on a huge cliffhanger, and Season 6 cannot come fast enough, I definetly need my Lost fix.

Grey's Anatomy 5.24- Now Or Never

Best Season Finale Ever.
.
I was literally stunned at how amazing this episode was. I didn't follow season five on time because I had yet to see season four, being in the UK it really is messed up, the DVD isn't even out yet. So I bought the Region 1 versions and watched Season 4, so I could finally watch Season 5. Season 4 was great, I thorougly enjoyed it.
.
Grey's Anatomy is slowly creeping up to be my favourite show because Season 5 was incredible. Honestly, from the very first episode to the shocking finale, I seriously consider Grey's Anatomy to be the best show of 2008-2009 out of all shows I have seen so far. One part I particularly enjoyed was when they had to do the Kidney domino procedure. When Meredith dropped the kidney, I was stunned. It was such a simple thing but it shocked me.
.
What I loved most about the season is the question whether Izzie lives or dies. I feel so sorry for her, she lived through a lot this year. And I was so pleased with the finale, it was the best season finale yet. One thing that shocked me was George. I did not expect John Doe to be him. When Meredith realized was when I realized and my mouth fell to the floor.
.
Then Izzie! She got passed the surgery, got short term memory loss, then she remembers everything, and then she just goes unconscious! Now I don't know whether George dies or Izzie lives, or if Izzie dies and George lives, or if they both live, or if they both die. I am so looking forward to the season six premiere now, which will be on Thursday September 24, 2009.
.
Altogether an excellent season finale, with the best cliffhanger of 2009 finales!

'More Moments' in Grey's Anatomy Season Five DVD

'More Moments' to enjoy in
Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season is a DVD set I pre-ordered from Amazon.com straight away. Really, Grey's Season 5 was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I honestly think it was the best show in the 2008-2009 season, there was not one dull moment. I do think they could have came up with a better name for it than 'More Moments', I think they're running out of ideas.

The finale of Grey's, Now Or Never, was the best season finale out of all the ones that aired in May 2009. Out of George and Izzie, I really want Izzie to be alive and pull through, and it was the best cliffhanger of all shows this season. My favourite character is probably Callie, or Izzie, but even so, I hope Izzie returns next season.

I recommend this season to watch, it was non-stop entertainment. This boxset will be released on September 15, 2009 for Region 1, I don't know about Region 2 yet, since the Grey's DVDs take years after Region 1 to come out, which I think is unfair, so Region 2 probably wont get it until about November 2010! Season 4 has yet to come out in the UK!

'Red Hot' Desperate Housewives Season Five DVD Cover

Red Hot Season Five DVD Cover for
Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fifth Season
TvShowsOnDVD.com posted the cover art for Desperate Housewives' fifth season, due for release on September 1, 2009. When I first looked at it I was jumping up with joy- no Katherine! But the downfall is, it looks a little plain. Usually they have something on the slip-on box for the Region 1 versions of the DVDs, and they already took their dresses off for the season 4 DVD. I'm hoping they will put apples on the slip-on box and make it look like the promotional poster, then when you take the box off, you will see them in their dresses looking as gorgeous as ever.
.
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon.com, which allow international shipping for a little extra, and since Region 1 DVDs usually come out before Region 2, I will be one of the first people in the UK to have it, unless other people from England do what I do.

Desperate Housewives 5.24- If It's Only In Your Head

Is it just me, or am I not the only one who loved the season five finale?

I have heard a lot of complaints about season five, and I've complained a lot too, Desperate Housewives is kind of losing that flair that I originally fell in love with in season one. The show has changed so much in five years, and it has its positives and its negatives.

Desperate Housewives is my favourite show, and thus far Season 4 is my favourite out of the 5 seasons that have aired. 'Bang' remains to be my favourite all-time episode, I mean, who doesn't love that intense hostage situation with Lynette being the hero and Susan with her hostage-exchange, and Gabby and Carlos's fight.

But getting on topic, season 5 hasn't been the best it could be. We said goodbye to Edie Britt in 'Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know' and I absolutely adore Edie, I am really gonna miss her a lot, and I feel sad that she had to depart in a not-so-great season. But when I saw her in the first half of the 2-hour season finale, it really made my day, and its sad to think that Edie's small cameo was my main highlight of the finale.

I did love the first part as well, and I loved the second part, and I adored the Susan/Dave/MJ scenes, they were intense, and Edie coming back for less than a minute was just the cherry (pardon the pun, unintentional) on the cake.

I am intrigued about Ana, the way they introduce her mystery was sloppy though with the two women talking, but I have high hopes for season 6, and I am soo glad Gabby is gonna get the mystery spotlight this season.

I was loving the Brarl thing tonight, but Orson was pulling an Edie in blackmailing Bree, it's been done before, but I feel sorry for Bree this time, because she is in a really difficult position, I hope she gets through it.

Lynette, I found her funny in the episodes, and I was shocked to find out she was having twins, I was like "oh no" but in a good way, because I can imagine what they can do with her character now.

And I don't like Katherine, but I felt sooo sorry for her in the airport when Mike left, I know I sometimes wish she would get her heartbroken and I would laugh at her expense, but Dana is too good of an actress, she really made me feel sorry for Katherine that I couldn't laugh, I wanted to give her a hug, and Season 6 will be a new slate for me, I am erasing the Season 5 Katherine from my mind and I am giving her a fresh new start, I know she can be better, and I hope the writers catch on, if she comes back being bitchy, then I know I will love her

Overall, not the best cliffhanger, but I really think its Katherine, she wouldn't feel Mike pulling away from her if they weren't together, so I am more than postitive it's Katherine, the kiss between Mike and Susan could have just been heat of the moment, and tell each other that it shouldnt happen again, and try to move on, and Mike marries Katherine as he promised, and then he's gonna feel like he's made a mistake and start pulling away and realize he is madly in love with Susan.

But Edie coming back was my main highlight, and I'm very sad that Season 5 is over, and I'm quite sad that the middle of the season was a little messy, season 6 will bring the standard back up, I can just feel it.
