Battlestar Galactica S04E17 - Someone To Watch Over Me "Comentario"

Es GRANDE, muy GRANDE. Así es Battlestar Galactica, el capítulo anterior nos sabió a poco, pero lo que se explicó era necesario, creo que en Galactica todo lo que se explica es necesario. Para mi el final de BSG ha comenzado con este capítulo, justamente cuando ha sonado la "canción" que Kara (seguimos sin saber que es...what the frak!!) ha tocado con el pianista (Daniel (nº7) = Padre de Kara, o simplemente la ilusión de un pianista). Creo que se avecina la de DIOS y no mejor dicho. Será la clave de todo HERA? Para que la quiere Cavil? Se caerá a trocitos nuestra nave? Tiene un papel más importante de lo que creemos el crucero Galáctica?

Aún no hemos visto la Finale de esta serie, pero aquí y ahora, pido que se la tomé en serio, y empiecen a darle premios, más de un actor se lo merece, más de uno se lo merece, please!!

Una Finale que estoy segurísimo que no defraudará, que en estos momentos, hasta ahora, no me ha defraudado en nada, y espero, por los dioses de Kobol que todo acabe "bien". Apúntemos y remarquemos el 20 Marzo 09 en nuestro calendario.

Damages S02E08

Esta serie es de otro planeta, que ritmo lleva, que delicia de guión y puesta en escena, que bien narrada, que TODO!!.
Esta superando la 1ª Temporada a mi parecer, que casi era insuperable. Los finales de cada capítulo no tienen nombre.

Lo malo que solo conste de 13 capítulos, pero bueno, son 13 expectaculares.

Con respecto al capítulo 9, que es lo más peligroso que puede haber? Tener enfadada a Patty Hewes. Como reaccionará a la muerte de P...

Solo nos quedan 5 capítulos y espero que la FoxNetworks la renueve para una 3ª. Quiero tener Damages para rato, quiero buena televisión.

Channel 5 Are Dicks... (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love '30 Rock')

You may think the title for this blog entry is a little harsh, but, much like urinating through a nasty bout of V.D; the truth hurts. Channel 5 are dicks, and here’s why;

There was a time that in between the documentaries on freaks and the soft porn you’d be hard pressed to find a decent show on Channel 5.

But then something amazing happened; no, Fearne Cotton didn’t conduct a knowledgeable, un-patronising, interesting interview, rather someone with a brain over there at the fifth terrestrial channel decided to start cramming the schedules full of top quality US shows.

‘The Shield’, ‘House’, ‘Prison Break’ (back when it was good) so much ‘CSI’ you could practically get soaked in arterial spray, the sublime ‘Californication’ and the majestic ‘30 Rock’ all filled the Channel 5 schedules, making sightings of Shannon Tweed’s breasts few and far between, sadly.

The latter two shows in that list are at the centre of Channel 5’s dickishness.

‘Californication’ features David Duchovny at a career best, forever shedding the ‘boring’ tag he was given at the height of ‘The X-Files’ success. Art awkwardly imitated life last year when Duchovny checked into rehab for sex addiction, something that his ‘Californication’ alter-ego Hank Moody could probably do with himself.

‘Californication’ is one of the most original, funny and at times, moving shows to grace our screens in years and easily the best thing not involving soapy boobies that Showtime has ever produced.

The Thursday night Channel 5 ‘Californication’/’30 Rock’ double was a shining light in the schedules, a beacon of top notch programming crow-barred in between the lamentable splurge that one would normally find populating the schedules these days on the ‘free’ channels.

Five obviously got sick of ‘30 Rock’ somewhere down the line though as they started giving away two episodes a week, I read somewhere that they were blaming their lust to get through the first season on a lack of viewers – what do they fucking expect at 11.20 & 11.45 on a Thursday night!?

With both ‘30 Rock’ and ‘Californication’ going from strength to strength in their sophomore years, it seemed only a matter of time before we got them on these shores, especially with Five’s addition of Five US - a channel dedicated to showing the best American shows out there.

Yet somehow, here we are, over a year on and despite Five having had the rights to both second seasons all along as part of their deal, only now are we getting season 2 of ‘30 Rock’, while America is half way through season 3! And there’s still not even a sign of ‘Californication’!

But Five are finally airing ‘30 Rock’ now, so all’s good right? Wrong. They’ve buried it on Five US on a Saturday and are back to their old tricks giving away two episodes at a time

Sure in these glorious times of digital recorders, schedules don’t mean as much, but beyond the die-hards who’ve been desperate to see these great shows return, how are we ever going to convert new viewers by burying them in a ludicrous slot.

I suppose I should be grateful Five are putting ‘30 Rock’ on before midnight, but come on, who’s watching Five US on a Saturday night!?

I sincerely doubt we’ll be seeing Season 3 of ‘30 Rock’ on Five - The contempt that Five seemingly has for these shows is nothing short of criminal.

And that my friends, is why Channel 5 are such dicks.

My hope is that Paramount will eventually get ‘30 Rock’ and give it the respect that it truly deserves. In the meantime, it looks like downloads and import DVDs if we want to continue to enjoy the exploits of Hank Moody and Liz Lemon et al.

Through said magic of Import DVDs and multi-regional DVD players, I am currently basking in the superlative-proof ‘30 Rock’s second season, seriously there just aren’t enough superlatives out there to do this show justice, simply put; it’s the best comedy on Television right now.

Don’t believe me? Just ask the star of the greatest TV comedy of all time; Jerry Seinfeld.

The notoriously reclusive Seinfeld, guest stars in the season 2 opener of ‘30 Rock’; ‘Seinfeld-Vision’ and helps kick the season off with a bang.

I doubt that Seinfeld, a man who has been very careful about the projects he has associated with since the end of ‘Seinfeld’, would appear on a show unless he truly appreciated just how good it was.

Why is there a copy of ‘Mean Girls’ in your DVD collection? – a question I have been asked on numerous occasions. Is it because I used to have a thing for Lindsay Lohan before she went off the rails and became a lesbian or whatever she is these days – that may have something to do with it, yes. But the main reason I own that film is because it is written by the genius that is Tina Fey.

Fey deserves so much credit for ‘30 Rock’s success, and thankfully the plethora of awards the show has taken home recently seem to indicate that she is getting the critical acclaim she deserves. There was a point during the height of the election build-up last year where it seemed that Fey’s dead-on Sarah Palin impression would overshadow her work on ‘30 Rock’.

It isn’t just Fey’s writing on ‘30 Rock’ that she deserves praise heaping on her for; her performance as Liz Lemon is nothing short of brilliant. Sure Alec Baldwin steals almost every scene he’s in, but you honestly get the impression that Tina Fey IS Liz Lemon, and sweet Moses does she make neuroses seem sexy.

But yes, this is Alec Baldwin’s show. Who knew that the man responsible for one of the greatest speeches in film history thanks to his ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ monologue had such impeccable comedic chops.

As network exec Jack Donaghy, Alec Baldwin has been nothing short of a revelation since Tina Fey coerced him into appearing on ‘30 Rock’. There’s a scene in season 2 during a supposed therapy session for show nut-job Tracy Jordan (who we’ll get to later) where Baldwin impersonates several members of Tracy’s family having a conversation which is nothing short of amazing.

If Alec Baldwin wasn’t already the most talented of the Baldwin Brothers then his run on ‘30 Rock’ has absolutely proved it. His performance even seems to have got the public back on side after that unfortunate ‘little pig’ phone call.

The guy even gives Frank Langella a run for his money with a Nixon impersonation during a Tracy dream sequence. Alec Baldwin. Yes the same guy who you got splinters in your eyes from watching in ‘Mercury Rising’.

In my personal opinion, the real star of this show is Tracy Morgan as hip-hop comedian/actor Tracy Jordan. Forced onto Liz Lemon’s ‘TGS’ by Jack, Jordan’s every line is pure, unequivocal greatness.

His use of non-sequitars is a constant source of hilarity as are his numerous past celebrity indiscretions, his bizarre pastimes, his film back catalogue (‘Fat Bitch’ is my personal favourite; a ‘Big Momma’s House’-esque comedy where Jordan plays a dog rather than a woman) and who can forget his entourage Grizz and Dotcom, the show’s unsung heroes.

The show’s ensemble cast has depth beyond the big three pictured below. Judah Friedlander is perfectly cast as the oafish Frank who has an amazing collection of hats. I’m also a big fan of Josh, who, sadly, after not being featured too prominently in season 2 didn’t return for season 3. Regardless though, the Christopher Walken impression he did in season 1 was awesome.

Incidentally, if I ever found a magic lamp one of my wishes would be to be able to do a Christopher Walken impersonation.

‘30 Rock’ is also jammed full of sight gags and throwaway lines and pop culture references – the sort of humour I eat up. Whether it’s the posters of Tracy’s film back catalogue that line his dressing room, Frank’s hats or one of the numerous cutaways to a flashback, dream sequence or media parody.

Season 2 highlights in this department have been Tracy’s ‘Thriller’ inspired novelty party song ‘Werewolf Bar Mitzvah’ and Jack’s reality TV show ‘MILF Island’, which featured “25 super-hot Moms, 50 8th grade boys and no rules”.

‘30 Rock’ is up there challenging ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and ‘Arrested Development’ as the best sitcom of the new millennium, so what are you waiting for? Go and see for yourself, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

‘30 Rock’ Season 2 is airing Saturdays on Five US. It airs at 6pm this week (the fuckers).

The Region 1 DVD of Season 2 is out now.

Season 3 is currently airing in the States Thursdays at 9.30pm on NBC.

Other Tele-Visual Musings This Week:

- Sunday night left me in a quandary; after half-watching ‘Dancing on Ice’ and later watching ‘24’, I was left to ponder; just who is the biggest silver fox on TV; Philip Schofield or Bill Buchanan…?

Speaking of ‘24’, I know I mentioned to it last week, but; where the hell is Tony!?

No sign, nor mention of him again this week, surely Jack could use his help with all the gunfights he seems to find himself in, rather than having that poor man’s Kate from ‘Lost’ as a sidekick.

- The BBC sneaked ‘Heroes’ back into the schedules this week and while it started slow, the first episode in this fourth chapter built to a nice climax with the whole ‘X-Men’ meets ‘Con-Air’ thing they had going on, although, to be honest, I could’ve done without all the Gitmo social commentary.

With the second episode airing on BBC Three, which I honestly think could be one of the worst channels on television, we got a good indication of where this season’s ‘back nine’ is heading.

My only gripe is that although I like seeing the original cast interacting, I wasn’t sure about the whole ‘getting the gang back together’ storyline they had going on, who are they ‘Ocean’s Eleven’?

And I must admit; I did mark out when Daphne was gunned down, although sadly I’ve subsequently learned she ain’t dead.

TV veteran Zeljko Ivanek should also be a formidable acquisition to the cast, he does ‘bastard’ so well; just look at his work in ‘Oz’ and ‘24’, among others.

- I know it’s cheap, juvenile humour but I can’t help but laugh every time I see that Churchill advert with Roy Walker. But boy has any man ever dined out on one catchphrase (no pun intended) as well as Walker has?

- I have to confess; I sat open-jawed as a I watched Robert Webb and his male camel toe pull of a seamless ‘Flashdance’ on Saturday night as part of ‘Let’s Dance for Comic Relief’. Whoever they have lined up for the coming two weeks will have to do something pretty special to even have a chance of competing, because seriously, funny as it was, Webb has some serious moves!

- Finally, an unexpected slice of heavenly TV pie this week came during ‘The Daily Show’s return from it’s week off in the shape of John Oliver’s now traditional, annual post-OSCAR bashing of Jon Stewart - even though ‘The Daily Show’ host hadn’t even hosted The OSCARS this year.

Speaking of ‘The Daily Show’; Ricky Gervais put in a good showing with his guest appearance on Tuesday’s show, it was a very funny interview that you should definitely try and check out.

Lost S05E06 - 316

Ya los tenemos en la Isla, y nuestros pensamientos han sido acertados, nuestros amigos supervivientes del Oceanic Flight 815 estan en la época de Dharma. Esto se pone interesantísimo, porque de la Iniciativa Dharma, es una de las cosas que más quiero información, que me expliquen historias, porque creo que de este tema estamos muy verdes.
En relación con el capítulo, no "ha pasado mucha cosa", pero Lost es Lost, y todos los capítulos son buenos (para mí). Pero hay algunas cosas que no he entendido, cuando dice la Sra Hawking: " Bueno este tipo supuso, de manera correcta, como se vio después que la Isla estaba moviéndose constantemente. ¿Por qué creéis que nunca os rescataron? ", entonces si la Isla se mueve como salen y entran de la Isla los Otros con el submarino?

En cuanto al viaje de vuelta a la Isla, esperábamos más, pero creo que está bien como lo han hecho, no veia otro accidente similar al capítulo Piloto. Conocemos ya la línea aerea Ajira Airways, que no sé que relación tendrá con el capítulo 5x04, (la botella de agua de Ajira Airways). Por otro lado, momentazo Ben Linus, llamando desde una cabina a (fijarse que se encuentra en un mini puerto, alaaa!! si Penny y Desmond tenian un barco!!...,NO, POR FAVOR!!, NO), Jack, con una apariencia no muy buena.

Y respecto al final, Finalazo, han cogido a Jin para hacer todas las caras de sorpresa de esta 5ª Temporada, jeje.

Esperamos The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham, que según la promo, solamente estará centrado en Locke, y con varias sopresas.

PD: Estaba Ben pidiendo perdón, rezando, por lo que iba a hacer después? cumplir la promesa de un "amigo suyo".

Rule Britannia...?

Last year’s BRIT Awards were the first in as long as I can remember that I not only didn’t watch, but didn’t even bother to record.

A combination of irritating hosts, irrelevant presenters, garbage performers and a string of undeserving nominees coupled with my increasing disinterest in the sort of music the BRIT’s normally honours made me avoid last year’s shindig like you would the fat couple at a key party.

And it seems in my absence that I didn’t miss much. The only thing of note I missed from last year was the Arctic Monkeys, dressed as country gentlemen no less, making fun of the ridiculous ‘BRIT school’.

One year on, and given that I now write a TV blog, the fact that, regardless of my personal feelings, The BRIT Awards are one of the biggest TV events of the year and my obvious love of sado-masochism; I thought I’d sample this year’s self-congratulatory festivities and inflict my cynical, biased and largely unfounded opinions on all of you.

So can this year’s BRITs recapture the Prescott-wetting, dead Sheep, Jacko-mooning glory days of the past or are we in for another Frank Skinner tumbleweed effort…? Let’s find out….

(Just before the show began I made the decision that I would publish exactly what I wrote during the show as my BRITs coverage, so please excuse the broken nature of the main body of this week’s blog)

Show Opens:

Urgh it’s Johnny Vegas on voiceover duty….

They’re opening with U2!? Talk about blowing your load early. They sound amazing, not sure about the karaoke backdrop though and Bono really needs to calm down he’s acting overly sexual this evening.

Fuck off Vegas…

Oh look it’s Kylie… and Horne and Corden doing a ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ spoof – nice to see they’re keeping it relevant.

Kylie Vs. The autocue looks like it could be a fun battle. I actually laughed at Horne’s Ting Tings gag.

Scotty mark II Simon Pegg’s here to present the first award… British female …Beth Rowley – who the fuck is that!? M.I.A. or Duffy for me.

I think Pegg might be pissed. Duffy wins. Good start, she’s had a big year and I’d say was the most deserving.

Why’s Estelle come dressed as Wesley Snipes in ‘Demolition Man’!?

Poor speech Duffy. Give that award back.

Anyone see that tumbleweed blow by then during Kylie and Corden’s link?

It’s Chris Kamara! Oh no wait, it’s Lionel Richie. Is it me or is he getting younger?

International female… Tough category… So long as Pink doesn’t get it I’ll be happy. Perry wins. Can’t complain. Muting the audio? What the fuck? I thought the Brits were ‘rock n roll’.

Urgh… Girls Aloud… Are we supposed to think they’re naked under those feathers? Because that’s the only way this performance would be watchable.

Seriously U2 to Girls Aloud… who picked this running order? Sweet Moses how out of tune was Sarah Harding during her solo, scratch that – how out of tune are all 5 of them.

Thank God. It’s over.

From bad to awful… It’s Fearne Cotton.

Duffy McDuffster? How old are you Cotton? Someone stole Duffy’s BRIT…. Give it back Adele…

Why does Fearne Cotton always sound like she has a cold? British single noms; Coldplay or Duffy for me. Scouting For Girls have no business even cleaning the Earl’s Court toilets, never mind being nominated.

Ads.

And we’re back…. Is Horne wearing blue shoes? Oi Horne, Noddy wants his shoes back.

Alex ‘Farmer’ James is out for Breakthrough… Shadow Puppets for me, wishful thinking though I think… Duffy gets the BRIT, I’m pleasantly surprised seen as it was voted for by Radio 1. I was convinced it’d be Adele or Scouting For Idiots as Noel Gallagher referred to them once.

Let’s hope for a better speech this time Duffy...

…Well that was better actually.

Coldplay are up, they seem intent on giving away the good performances early tonight (well, with the exception of Girls Aloud of course).

The Beatles should really sue Coldplay for gimmick infringement with those Sgt. Pepper’s jackets.

Good performance.

Go away Cotton. Jamie Oliver and Jamie Cullum, two men with something in common… They’re both cunts.

Oliver do us a favour and hit Cotton with that BRIT.

Ads.

How awful does that ‘Celebrity Juice’ look…?

We’re back…

Natalie Imbruglia… I thought she was dead. International Group…

Gotta be the Kings… MGMT should win. I’d love AC/DC to win…

Kings of Leon… Could it really have been anyone else? I liked it when they were hairy.

You can hear a pin drop after the punchline to every gag.

Best British Male… Poor line-up to be honest; I’d give it Mike Skinner but it’ll probably be Paul Weller like every year…

…What a surprise. How annoying is Adele…

Duffy takes the stage… I hope she’s going to bust out ‘Mercy’ after a few chords of this weary ‘Warwick Avenue’ bullshit… but at least she has her cans out.

Looks like we’re just getting Warwick… Poor do Duffy…

Go on Calzaghe punch Cotton… we won’t tell anyone. No one to beat up? Hit Cotton! Not that I’m condoning hitting women… but come on, it’s Fearne Cotton!

Ads

We’re back….

I am having fun actually Corden. No thanks to you though.

How amazing would that have been if Calzaghe had hit Corden!?

International Album – Go on AC/DC! Kings of Leon again, who’ll take my odds of 1 – 50?

You should have taken that bet. You could’ve turned £50 into £51.

A genuinely appreciative and humble band… I thought I was watching the BRIT Awards…

It’s Take That on a spaceship… I’m not even ashamed to say it; how good are Take That!? I like the look they’ve got going on… it means Mark Owen doesn’t have that ridiculous fucking hat on.

Amazing performance.

Now Nick Frost’s out, are they just wheeling out the entire cast of 'Hot Fuzz'? Where’s Timothy Dalton….?

Live Act… I’ve never seen any of them live so I can’t really comment. I’d say give it Iron Maiden.

Holy shit. I was right. It’d probably be a sweeter victory if it hadn’t been over Scouting For Girls though.

The Hoff! The show is saved! That’s a good looking man there people. Reaction of the night. Even if the guy is certifiably insane.

British Group… Are you shitting me? Radiohead and Girls Aloud in the same category!? Coldplay or Take That for me…

Pleased for Elbow though.

You forget how young Coldplay are. It seems like they’ve been around for ages.

How does Fearne Cotton still have a job? The lines are closed, does that mean no more Cotton. Here’s hoping.

Kings of Leon… The roofs going to come off… Awesome.

Cotton’s back… The Hoff’s got a glint in his eye, Cotton better watch it, he can get you pregnant just by looking at you.

An Estelle & Ting Tings duet…? Or as I like to call it; the musical equivalent of being punched in the throat and kicked in the balls at the same time. Can’t wait for that….

Ads.

This new Tarrant game show looks like it might not be completely horrible.

We’re back. Kylie’s reappeared.

Critic’s Choice: Florence & The Machine. Means nothing to me really… what the hell’s with the muted audio again. Get over it ITV. She thanked some Radio 1 DJs; I respect that. Her stuff they played sounded half decent as well.

Gok Wan. One question; Why? Get a new act you gimp.

International Male… I say give it Seasick Steve. Beck is nominated for this every year, even if he doesn’t have an album out.

Actually give it Diamond. Go on Neil.

Kanye West. What a crock.

How is 'Gavin & Stacey' so successful? If Corden & Horne wrote these links then Ruth Jones must be one hell of a writer.

Estelle & The Ting Tings… My ears are bleeding… Have they even rehearsed this? Estelle can’t even keep up with the Tings. I’m always sceptical Katie White’s actually playing that guitar.

This is worse than the Bedingfields the other year.

Alan Carr… I can’t say anything bad about the guy…

British single… Duffy – ‘Mercy’ for me. Just keep it away from Scouting for Girls…

The only time Diana Vickers will ever be mentioned at the BRITs.

Girls Aloud win. I may have to mute the acceptance speech. ‘The Promise’ is a good pop song though. Harding’s fucked.

British Album… Presented by Sir Tom Jones. The beard’s looking a lot better natural. Stay grey Tom.

Tough call… Wouldn’t like to venture a guess.

Duffy. Congratulations. Did the voiceover woman just compare her to The Darkness? What a ringing endorsement. I loved that rumour that Tom Jones was her Dad.

The best bit is; nothing for Adele. What a shame.

Alan Carr mocking Sarah Harding then was the best laugh I’ve had so far. To be fair though; the BRITs aren’t supposed to be intentionally funny are they.

I can’t believe the Pet Shop Boys are getting the Lifetime Achievement award – How do they pick it these days – by sticking a pin in an old Now CD?

The only good thing the Pet Shop Boys have ever been a party to was a rumour I heard when I was younger; that they got their name because they liked to stick Hamsters up their asses.

Ads.

We’re back.

Brandon Flowers is looking young to. Whatever those make-up ladies are doing back there is working.

Someone needs to tell him Cousin It from ‘The Addams Family’ has fallen asleep on his shoulders though.

Pet Shop Boys are on. I’ll let them off for being shit if they do ‘Go West’.

‘Go West’! All is forgiven!

GaGa’s here. Christ on a cracker; what is she wearing? It’s not right that someone hot can have so few clothes on and look unattractive.

Flowers and Cousin It are on now. He looks genuinely happy to be out there with them.

You forget how many hits the Hamster asses have had. Maybe they did deserve it. They were certainly more deserving than the Spice Girls.

That’s it. Show’s Over.

Final Thoughts:

A pretty uneventful show. It was saved by some killer performances, the presenters were horrendously C-list though.

Corden and Horne did an admirable job, but there wasn’t a great gag on the whole show, but again the BRITs are about music aren’t they. Hosting the BRITs is clearly a poisoned chalice though and you’ve got to admire those two for taking it on.

The sad thing is; the BRITs genuinely did used to feel like the rock n’ roll event that most media types still make it out to be. Nowadays though it’s just too safe and at no point tonight did I feel like something shocking could happen. It’s a pretty sad commentary on the state of TV and our country at the moment.

So here’s to another year of mediocre music and celebrating that mediocrity all over again this time next year.

Other Tele-Visual Musings This Week:

- I caught Britney Spears’ video for her latest single ‘Circus’ this week. In between Britney’s vocoder enhanced robotic vocals I noticed the lyric “don’t like the back seat”… All I can say to that is; I bet K-Fed begs to differ…

- Friday night saw me for the second consecutive week watching, and actually enjoying the Lee Mack-starring sitcom ‘Not Going Out’ on BBC1. It might be your stereotypical stand-up comedian’s sitcom, which basically means thirty minutes of stand-up material and one liners with a weak plot worked around the jokes - Exhibit A: Frank Skinner’s ‘Shane’, but I found myself actually laughing.

I’ve always liked Lee Mack and Tim Vine, especially when working together, dating back to their work on ‘The Sketch Show’ and this sitcom actually went some way to restoring my faith in the BBC’s comedy output…

…until I caught a bit of ‘The Old Guys’ on Saturday night that is. Whoever it was at the BBC who decided that steaming pile of horse shit belonged on Saturday night prime time needs sectioning. Boy has Roger Lloyd-Pack fallen a long way since 'Only Fools and Horses', but I suppose to be fair to the guy, he’s never going to top Trigger is he?

- ‘24’ on Monday night and my fears were realised. Not only was there no sign of Tony but no mention of him either and from what I’ve read that trend will continue into next week’s episode.

After the blistering pace the show went off at, I thought we were in for a return to the golden days of season 1 & 2 but the last couple of episodes have slowed right down. There’s too much emphasis on the moral pondering of whether the end justifies the means. FBI agent Larry Moss appears to be the show’s moral conscience, but it feels like I’m watching the editor of The Daily Mail. Speaking of Moss, this series has placed too much focus on the new characters, who quite frankly have done nothing so far to make us care about them.

Okay, so I’m a massive Tony mark but die-hard fans eat up the veterans getting screen-time and at the moment it’s just not happening. The internet’s already buzzing over the episode that just aired in the states that saw the returns of Agent Pierce and Morris O’Brian.

All I’ll say is when Tony finally reappears they’d better have a good explanation for where he’s been, and he’d better get involved in a decent arc otherwise the producers will go right down in my estimation for trying to pop a ratings spike by bringing him back from the dead and then kicking him to the curb in favour of FBI agent Pippy Longstocking.

- Finally, I’m both excited and curious as to if/when us Brits will be treated to Joss Whedon’s new Eliza Dushku starring ‘Dollhouse’. I was never a big Buffy fan but I absolutely adored Whedon’s ‘Firefly’, I was also a massive geek for Dushku’s ‘Tru Calling’, so it’s almost like a match made in heaven for me. With it being on Fox I’d assume Sky1 is the best bet for broadcasting it in the UK.

Hearing the word Fox though is extremely worrying, given that it’s the network that cancelled not only both of the above shows but also the magnificent ‘Arrested Development’…

…I hate you Fox.

No defrauda, cada semana manteniendo el nivel, cada semana entreteniendo, cada semana impresionándonos, cada semana mejor que la anterior. Así es 24. Y mejor con la vuelta de caras conocidas, ya tenemos a Chloe O'Brien controlándolo todo, tenemos la vuelta de Aaron Pierce, me encanta este personaje, y de Morris O'Brian.

Ya tenemos al topo en el FBI, se podia intuir un poco, pero no estaba claro. Así es 24, nada se sabe hasta que pasa y te deja con un uooo!!! Ya casi estamos llegando al ecuador de esta temporada, decir que quedan 15 capitulazos más. Habrá que ver si tendremos a Tony Almeida dando más guerra y cuando podremos empezar a ver a Jonas Hodges (John Voight, visto en 24: Redemption, que creo que es el que tiene montado todo este tinglado).

Chloe Forever !!

Naruto - Itachi vs Sasuke

Me encanta esta escena. Que gran personaje es Itachi. Es perfecto.

Lost - Ben Linus

Ben Linus. Para mi una de las personas más claves de Lost. Después de Richard Alpert, viene este hombre. Un personaje, que según mi opinión, no sabemos casi nada de él aún (solamente 1 capítulo sobre su pasado 3x20 - The Man Behind the Curtain). Según he leido, sabremos mucho mas de él en esta 5ª Temporada. Estaremos atentos.

Por qué este post? Siempre se habla de los actores, guiones, efectos, pero no se tiene en cuenta una de las cosas más importantes de toda película/serie.

Las TV Series o películas sin una música/melodía de fondo, de acompañamiento, no serían nada. Una buena película o serie siempre trae una gran Banda Sonora, que acompaña durante todo el largometraje, creando un fondo especial-esencial, para el espectador.

Aquí muestro algunos ejemplos muy claros (básicos para todo cinéfilo-seriefilo):
