Posted on 2010/10/10 | Leave a comment

'Merlin' - 'The Crystal Cave'Identifier: Series 3, Episode 5
Air Date: Sat., Oct. 9, 2010
Network: BBC One

(What is BootlegTV? To put it simply, sometimes things are available in other parts of the world, but not in the US. That doesn’t mean they can’t be enjoyed here, though.)

As Merlin continues to explore his newfound magical abilities, he stumbles up on the Crystal Cave, wherein he sees a prophetic vision of the future. What he doesn’t perhaps realize is that visions are open for interpretation, and the future isn’t easily thwarted.

Ratings Recap: ‘Blue Bloods’ Slipping, But With ‘Outlaw’ And ‘The Good Guys’ Nobody’s Going to Notice

Posted on 2010/10/09 | Leave a comment

(for Friday, October 8, 2010) ‘Blue Bloods’ isn’t dominating like it used to, particularly in the advertiser valued Adults 18-49 demographic, but it’s got a long way to drop still before CBS would even think of worrying. FOX and NBC, on the other hand, need to start worrying right now as both ‘Outlaw’ and ‘The Good Guys’ are failing in epic proportions, getting beaten or tying with The CW in that demo.

Obviously, CBS (1.6/6, 9.02 million) was the night’s winner, followed by NBC (1.4/5, 5.76 million), thanks to those two-hour installments of ‘Dateline NBC.’ ABC (1.2/4, 3.98 million) is still playing with repeats, while The CW (1.0/4, 2.33 million) is consistency on Fridays, while FOX (0.9/3, 2.67 million) is starting to fade away.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, “A Plan Is Hatched and a Date Is Not a Date”

Posted on 2010/10/09 | Leave a comment

'The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret' - 'A Plan Is Hatched And a Date Is Not a Date'Identifier: Season 1, Episode 2
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 8, 2010 (10:00 PM)
Network: IFC

It’s one thing for Todd to be inept as a salesperson or a manager, but it’s another for Thunder Muscle to actually be a toxic chemical that flags cashiers to call local and national emergency services. How can he possibly be expected to sell this stuff. Still, the impending disaster should be uncomfortably fun to watch.

Haven, “Spiral” [season finale]

Posted on 2010/10/09 | Leave a comment

'Haven' - 'Spiral'Identifier: Season 1, Episode 13
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 8, 2010 (10:00 PM)
Network: Syfy

Well, that answers that question. Would ‘Haven’ go out with a sense of closure or would they leave us dangling with a million more questions than we even knew we had. It looks like the writers would rather tantalize us about next season, and that’s fine by me. Max Hansen returns from Shawshank Redemption after serving 25 year, and his presence stirs up a lot of questions, and … well more questions.

Supernatural, “The Third Man”

Posted on 2010/10/09 | Leave a comment

'Supernatural' - 'The Third Man'Identifier: Season 6, Episode 3
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 8, 2010 (9:00 PM)
Network: The CW

It’s about damned time the third man who makes up the stars of this show made an appearance. It’s only too bad he came bearing nothing but bad news. It was worth it for Dean’s awkward prayer to Castiel appearing to actually work and summon the angel. I don’t care what Castiel says, I say it was Dean’s prayer that convinced him to finally come down. I also think he knows something about Sam.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars, “Corruption”

Posted on 2010/10/09 | Leave a comment

'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' - 'Corruption'Identifier: Season 3, Episode 5
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 8, 2010 (9:00 PM)
Network: Cartoon Network

This one felt like kind of a fluff piece, or a throw away episode if you’re in the show for the larger picture. Focusing on Mandalore, it features the story of the difficulties the planet is having securing supplies since they are attempting to maintain their neutrality in the Galactic War. Padme Amidala was the most notable figure in the episode, as she went there to see her friend the Duchess Satine. While there, they uncover a smuggling racket that’s proving potentially deadly to the planet’s children.

Generator Rex, “The Hunter”

'Generator Rex' - 'The Hunter'Identifier: Season 1, Episode 13
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 8, 2010 (8:30 PM)
Network: Cartoon Network

I appreciate that the world Rex lives in is one that’s changing as the series progresses. This week, there’s a major shift in the dynamic of Rex’s relationship to the world at large. Last week we learned a little about the past Rex doesn’t even remember, and this week we learn a little about how this world feels about Evos, or the infected people Rex and Providence battle and ultimately try to cure.
