What I’m Watching
Supernatural
The Winchester brothers are back to kick off the last half of season 4. I have to say this is one incredible find. I’m grateful that it’s been given a home on CW–a station that allows for “workhorse” type shows to plod along, despite uber-ratings. Thing is, Supernatural should have more viewers. It goes beyond the teen-fluff that you usually find on CW. It’s dark, gritty and half the time I’m wondering how the censors let them get away with saying “dick” and “douche” all the time.
The Winchester boys are heading for another big rift. Dean has his girl-crushes on forbidden targets: fallen angel, reaper. Meanwhile, Sammy’s been using his no-no powers against demons galore. Methinks it will be too much for him to handle in the end. He’ll need some help from big brother on this one.
Battlestar Galactica
Two more episodes left until the season ends. It’s difficult to predict exactly what will go down. Creator, Ron Moore, isn’t one to play the safe, predictable route. Last night’s episode set things up for the 2-hour finale. My thoughts are that “Earth” is still out there, Hera will be saved. Athena and Helo will perish leaving Baltar and Caprica Six to raise the child. “You will become a father,” Head-Six told him. And with Sam controlling the Galactica, we’ll have a wild ride ahead.
Many deaths. Much sadness when Galactica blows (and we all know this is coming.) Sam will go with her. Starbuck will live, so will Lee. Roslin and Adama will go down as well. The only thing I can predict with absolute certainty is that I’ll be crying like a wee baby when all is said and done.
Lost
Lost has been at its best the last two seasons. Slow-moving? Too many questions? Things change. Lost is changing. I’m on board and enjoying myself immensely. Sawyer is awesome, so is Locke. Ben remains the most awesome of all. Let’s hope that Abrams doesn’t pull an “Alias” here and frack with the fans too much. Maybe he learned his lesson first time around.
