Sunday Night TV Thoughts

I am just sitting here at the computer typing this during the commercials of EXTEME MAKEOVER:  HOME EDITION.  I am truly inspired by the young girl who saved her younger sister from being hit by a car, but lost her leg in the process.  She has a never give up attitude, and is determined to play sports again.  They were built a beautiful house.  Dwight Howard donated $50,000 to help the family with there medical bills.  Also, thought it was cool that Phineas and Ferb shrunk the old house.

I also watched the first two episode of BIGGEST LOSER, Season 12 today.  They have determined the teams this season by age: Under 30 (Red), Over 50 (Blue), and in between (blank).  Bob has given up his blue team and now is the trainer of the black team.  Anna Kournikova is the new trainer of the blue team and Dolvett Quince is the new trainer of the red team.  Anna is a world class athlete, but she has her work ahead of her as a trainer, especially with a group of people that are twice her age.  Dolvett is effective, and like Bob can build up and tear down.  The blue team has gone to elimination the first two weeks and have lost two team members, who have both done well at home.  The new thing this year is that they will have a Biggest Loser marathon at the end of the season, and that person will automatically be a finalist, regardless of when they left the ranch.

Season finale of WAREHOUSE 13 311/312 (Emily Lake/Stand) - Great ending.  Sorry to see HG go, and too bad for Jinks.  Can't way until next season to find out what happens... Don't want to give too much away.

Also have watched the season premiere of SANCTUARY 401 (Tempus) on Saturday.  Magnus was teleported back to 1898 when she followed Adam Worth, who had gone back in time to try to save his dying daughter.  She spends most of the episode trying to stop Worth and not run into her earlier self.  Worth cures his daughter, only to accidentally her when trying to kill Magnus.  1898 Worth finds her, and blames 1898 Magnus and Dr, Watson.  Who knows what will happen based on that.  Since she has no way to get back, Watson suggests that Magnus take a vacation, and enter the timeline at the point she left it, 113 years in the future.  We will see what happens next week.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS 103 (Bon Voyage, Angels) - this show is growing on me.  Has decent action, and the stories are not half bad.  Beautiful women in a Beautiful setting (Miami).  Have to admit that I like the new Bosley more than the old Bosley.

FRINGE 403 (Alone in the World) - Walter continues to degenerate in madness, being the only one that can see and hear his son, Peter.  He bounds with a young boy who is somehow tied to an organic entity in the sewers.  When he believes that he has truly lost it, and tells Olivia, she shows him a drawing of a man she keeps seeing in her dreams.  It is Peter.

NIKITA 203 (Knightfall) - This show just keeps getting better.  Nikita and Michael track down an assassin that Nikita had initially captured six years earlier.  Division wanted him killed, but she could not pull the trigger.  He meets with Percy, who shoots him in the spine, and then makes him the public face of an assassin who hit high profile targets.  When they find his hideout, they discover that he is in a wheelchair, and is recording his messages, so that Division assassins can commit the acts.  As they are looking for Ramon, Alex is sent to kill one of the men that help to set up her father.  The message that Ramon recorded is released prior to the hit, and Amanda orders Alex to stand down.  She take the shot anyways.

BIG BANG THEORY 504 (The Wiggly Finger Catalyst) - Hilarious as usual.  Raj finally is able to talk to a women.  She is deaf.  Wolowitz has to sign for him.  We also find out that his family is super rich.

PERSON OF INTEREST 103 (Mission Creep) - Great episode.  I definitely believe that this will get picked up for a full season.  He helps out an ex-soldier who is robbing banks to help out the family of his best friend that died when he took watch for him.  Best part of the episode is when Reese is talking with the soldier, and a banker pokes him in the forehead and says that he needs to learn how to use his head more.  Reese proceeds to head-butt the banker.

PRIME SUSPECT 103 (Bitch) - Maria Bello is great in this show.  All of the guys in my opinion are a little too stereotypical and too chauvinistic.  Nice to see that the a-holes amongst them is finally warming up to her a little.  Good stories so far.  It has earned a couple of more episodes.

REVENGE 103 (Betrayal) - This show gets better with each episode.  I am loving the ways that she is back at the people who destroyed her father.  She is ruthless and looks great doing it.  If you are looking for a show to start watching, I recommend this one.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY 101 (Pilot) - fell asleep while watching this show.  I have to watch it again.  What I saw of it, I thought it was weird, but good.

CSI 1203 (Bittersweet) - Ted Danson is great as the new boss.  Don't know how they are going to phase Willows out.  Sarah was a little agro in this episode.  Her passion to send who she thought to be the killer back to jail skewed her ability to rationally collect evidence.  Looking forward to next week's episode, which will have a mob party theme to it.

HARRY'S LAW 203 (Sins of the Father)- great finish to the three episode story arc.  Harry played the DA like a fiddle, and ultimately caught her in her own game playing.  I did, however, guess who the real killer was about 10 minutes into the episode.  I like the new attorney that they have brought on, but I want Tommie Jefferson to have a larger role.

CRIMINAL MINDS 703 (Dorado Falls) - A soldier gets in a car accident and then believes that his family and friends have been replaced by duplicates.  He proceeds to kill the duplicates in an effort to track down his family.  What makes this tougher for the team is that he is a trained Navy Seal, who thinks that this is repercussions for a mission for 2000.  Good episode.

I still need to watch SVU from last week, and the second and third episode of SECRET CIRCLE from last week.

More to come this week...
