Monday provided the long awaited season premiere of Heroes: Villains. The teaser first hour provided a lookback to the last two seasons and provided small peeks into the future. Then followed the two hour season premiere which was the best one of the season so far. So many changes, answers, questions were broached, at the end of the show we were like “Whoa!” My husband worked late and missed the first half and I could not even update him due to so many things happening. I look forward to next week and hope that they get some of the kids back into the scene. Great work NBC.
I thought I would update my Fringe post. The show is definitely not comparable to X-Files or Lost, but it does provide some minor intrigue/drama. I do find it to be quite humorous. The little quips from Walter Bishop,the crazy doctor, are hysterical. Olivia seems too transparant. Young Bishop is attractive, but has too many unexplained boring intricacies. I would not be upset if I missed it one week (which I won’t due to Tivo.)
With much awaiting anticipation, the season premiere of House was on Fox last night. Our family gathered to watch. I, personally, was a bit disappointed. The news of 13’s positive Huntingtons test was expected, as was her reaction. Entirely too much of the attention was wasted on her story last night. Dr. Kutner showed his usual brilliance, but little attention was given to him. Dr. Taub was a whiny mess, as usual. How he made the team, I do not know.
Wilson is leaving, due to his realization that miserable House needing to grow up and live life without enablers. This is a good turn to the story, but the previews of the upcoming shows show that House doesnt seem to be able to take no for an answer. Unfortunately I enjoy the cynical bantering between Wilson & House and hope they change the Wilson’s mind.
I have been remiss in updating the blog with my digiscrapping freebie sites. This time my attention goes to www.digifree.blogspot.net. This is another good site to download freebies for your digital scrapbookin experience.
DH & I watched the premiere of Fringe last night on Fox network. We enjoyed it. It seemed like X-Files directed by the creator of Lost. So being a Lost lover, it was an immediate hit, lol. It is basically about an agent who is after these “fringe” scientists who practice medicine on humans outside the norm (teleportation, mindreading, reanimation.) There was a great chemistry among the characters and it was clean enough for my kids to watch. I would recommend it.
Added note to Izikavazo: We missed the first few minutes, so we only saw the people after melting, maybe i spoke too soon!! Thanks for the comment!
With the start of the new school season, it was time to break the she-devil in Sara. After one (yes 1) night, the “not sleeping in her own bed problem” was gone. We used the supernanny technique (thank u Jo Frost) of whose television show Sara & I are great fans of, and it actually worked. Vin & I both also sat her down and talked to her and apparantly there is a lot of stress between Dad’s house and Mom’s house, and Dad’s girlfriend trying to gain favor. That has been cleared up now, at least in Sara’s head anyway.
Homework has historically been a problem, so the Supernanny (and a tough 4th grade teacher) worked for that too. Now if I can just get her to straighten up her room…one battle at a time.
We went to see Babylon A.D. starring Vin Diesel last week. Typical Diesel movie. I kept waiting for him to tell everyone he was really Riddick. He did well but it was a poor ending. I get what they were going for (a sequel) but the bad people dont chase you for 90 minutes and then just disappear. I would wait for the video.
Today started the new school season. I am so glad to get the kids back into a schedule. Curfews, homework, calendars, RESTRICTIONS! As Sara & I were wandering around Target yesterday, I could see the look of anticipation on all of the fellow mothers faces!! We would all just glance at eachother and understand!
Of course, Sara gives us the most resistance. Fighting sleep until 12:30 AM. Up at 5:00 AM getting dressed. Not wanting to do homework. Wanting to start a new career (this week – Journalism – so that she can expose her unfortunate older brother.) Demanding a personal digital camera…a trampoline…a dog…video camer…You name it, different request every hour.
She came home from Dad’s with 5 new outfits (with strict instructions as per school use ONLY.) Already wore 3 on the first day. Gonna be a great week. Thanks to Laura (Dad’s fiance) in updating Sara’s wardrobe. She definitely feels spoiled by you.
