Episode Nine: Miss Ky is Ill Today . . . (still)

Due to the fact that Episode 8 was Twilight-centric, we decided to bring you Episode 9 catching up on all of the television we haven't talked about for the past 2 weeks. Becky joins us again to talk True Blood with Ky, and then the girls rave about Gossip Girl, Chuck, Heroes, T:SCC, and Faith's current obsession with Smallville.

PS: It wasn't Tuesday or Wednesday. It was Thursday.

Music used in this episode:
"Back in Your Head" by Tegan and Sara
"Rewind" by Paramore

Episode Seven: Decoding Illness

Sickness has struck. Again. Actually, based on what we've seen on Twitter, we're not the only one's who keep waking up with sudden headaches and sore throats. Personally, I blame the good old North Carolina weather. We were wearing sweaters in early October, and now we're back in t-shirts and the occasional light-weight jacket. Due to the election there wasn't much tv this week. But that didn't stop us. We're dedicating this week's episode to one of our favorite authors (Faith's been in mourning all week), Michael Crichton, died suddenly on Tuesday, November 4. This week we discuss the two of our regular shows that did air (Gossip Girl and T:SCC) as well as True Blood and the return of Bones (yay!). We also bring you our thoughts on Buffy Season 5, and encourage everyone to check out Felicia Day's webshow "The Guild", which is to begin its second season on November 25.

TV week: (6:45-20:15) Gossip Girl, T:SCC, Bones, True Blood

Episode Six: The Week of Doom

Since our last recording, life has gotten . . . interesting for Faith and Ky. Because of this, it has been difficult to not only record, but watch the shows we like to talk about. Yet here we are, bringing you episode six, full of fascinating tidbits that most likely mean absolutely nothing. This week we've put Buffy on hold, and instead discuss our thoughts on the new Twilight soundtrack as well as listener email.

TV week: (4:18-28:15) Gossip Girl, Chuck, Heroes, Smallville, True Blood, Legend of the Seeker

Epsiode 4: Yet Another Hope

From the frozen tundra of Ky's apartment we bring you Episode 4 (seriously, we're sitting here working on our computers with gloves on). This week we finally discuss Buffy Season 3-- the greatest season EVER! (you argue with us about that, I'll just get a replica of the Jackel and kill you) We talk about what we liked, what we didn't like (which was, like, nothing), and Faith briefly overviews her favorite character of all time. Tv this week was amazing, though a little lacking thanks to baseball and the presidential debate. Yet, as always, we find much to talk about.

Edit: We're not sure what happened to the audio quality during the season 3 recap, but we'll figure it out before we record again.

TV Week: (5:30-23:00) Gossip Girl, Heroes, True Blood, Chuck

A (wo)man's got to do what a (wo)man's got to do...

Greetings, Cyberland!

So it's currently fall break at our quaint little university in the middle of nowhere. Faith has headed home, as have I. That being said, at this point in our podcasting abilities (or rather, lack thereof), it's kind of hard for us to podcast together. We'll get this figured out eventually, I promise. Probably before Thanksgiving.

That being said, I'm going to go ahead and blog my reaction to all the shows that I watched this week.

Starting with Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
What can I say about this week's episode? It was good. Not awesome, but good. I like all the future flashes that have been going on recently. I know that Kyle Reese was supposed to be in this episode at some point, but I didn't catch who it was. Oh well, like I said, it was good none the less. It was nice to see a Triple 8 in this episode, haven't really seen one of those in awhile. I like the bonding between Sarah and the little Marty. They were cute together. I'm glad Sarah gets to play mom to a "normal boy" who hasn't been hardened by having to run his entire life (aka not John). I like how they made little Marty such a normal perfectionist child. He was obsessed with normalcy - getting his book report done. As an education major, I know how children act in tough situations, how they grasp for anything normal. I like how Cameron (of all people... er... terminators) picked up Wizard of Oz. Very cool.

All of the Wizard of Oz references made me happy. I love that story. Never actually read the book, but still. I want to now. Everything from the overall plot line to the names they chose (Baum) made me grin. It was just good.

Can't wait until next week!

Heroes
Um, wow? First of all, LOL @ dream sequence. Seriously, why Parkman? We have at least two other characters on the show that have dreams that predict the future, but we watch the dream of a dude stuck in the desert in Africa on Peyote. Hmmph. That was really my only complaint. Otherwise, the episode was really good.

Poor Peter. Both of them. It's become apparent that Future!Peter is the Villain of this season (so far), which is sad. And I think even Future!Peter has realized that as well. Present!Peter is just confused. Poor guy. Why does he need Syler's power?

It's weird, but I like Parkman and Daphne together in the future, and teenage Molly made me grin. She really has grown up some.

So apparently it's destiny that Claire will have dark hair in the future. We keep going back to that point. And apparently she's going to be evil regardless now.

Why can't Future!Future!Peter go back and stop Future!Peter from shooting Nathan? Oh, right, because we wouldn't have season 3.

Speaking of Nathan, I like him and Tracy together. Apparently it's also destiny for Nathan to become president. I guess the only question at this point is who will be the first lady. Lol.

Tracy... one of two sets of identical triplets. Cool. So we have Nikki, Tracy, and... Barbara? I wonder what her power is. And "created?" Peter mentioned something about this as well... how some people were born with powers and others were created with them. Interesting. Well, we know what the formula does now.

HIRO! Dude. Seriously? Since when should ANYONE listen to Angela Petrelli? She's obviously evil. Well, for the most part. But yeah, how could Hiro EVER think it would be a good idea to dig up Adam? Come on. *sigh*

Ok, I'm done for now on Heroes. I'm sure I'll rant/rave a bit when we finally end up podcasting.

Knight Rider
I watched the first couple episodes, and it's really good! I like it so far. Faith has pretty much covered the feel of the episodes, but I have one thing to add - Billy from KR is Billy from Battlestar Galactica. That made me laugh. Hardcore. Love his interactions with the Asian chick, Zoe, I believe. They crack me up!

True Blood
Wow. Great episode. New theory that my friend Kamille and I came up with - Sam is the dog that keeps following Sookie around. Just a thought.

Nice to see how Bill was changed. Though I'm a bit fuzzy on the mechanics. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

True Blood is good at ending episodes with "OMG, NO WAY" moments. Wow.

Sorry this is so incredibly long. I'm sure we'll podcast a bit at some point, either that or wait until next week!

You know you love us,
-Ky

Is it really only Tuesday?

Wow, so I most definitely didn't realize how much Faith was posting. I feel so... left behind. Or something. Sorry y'all. I'll do better to keep up. I don't know where she gets all her time to watch tv.

I'm writing this while attempting to watch Heroes. I've gotten about half way through, but the NBC website is taking forever to load.

So. Sarah Connor last night. I was enthralled by it while it was on, but now thinking back over it, I'm not quite as impressed. They led us to believe for the first twenty minutes that Cameron could quite possibly be a human - or at least have human memories. Now it's pretty clear, as Faith said that Cameron was made to look like Allison so she could serve as an infiltrator into John's camp. I don't think it would be too far off to find out that John was in love with Allison, so that's why he worked so hard on reforming Cameron, and that's why he sent her back to protect his younger self. So I guess at this point we enter, once again, into a paradox. Presuming John does indeed have romantic feelings for Cameron/Allison, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Ok, sorry, had to. Did he fall for Cameron the terminator growing up? Or Allison the resistance fighter?
So many questions.

Gossip Girl.
Nom nom nom. It just keeps getting better and better. What's daddy dearest going to do about little Jenny Humphry? She's sure adopted an independent streak since last season. Also, a Blair/Jenny truce, and dare I say it, united front? No way. That probably won't last.
Serena. What to say? Was she a little too harsh on poor Blair? Or not? Hard to say. Blair just seeks her approval all the time, I don't think Serena knows how much Blair follows her around like a little puppy dog. She definitely had that "wow, I was totally just kicked to the curb for a new best friend" look at the end of this past episode.
Though here I feel I must interject and talk about how totally beautiful Serena looked doing her pouty model routine outside the limo while Blair looked on longing to be Papi (yeah, no idea how to spell it) posing next to her.
Chuck and Dan as friends? Most definitely had potential. They worked well together, and Dan throwing the random sucker punch was kinda funny. Raise your hand if you think that Chuck's sob story in the slammer was true. *raises hand* Yeah.
Lilly and Bart? Sad times. I agree with Faith's analysis of the sign of submission having to do with things around people's necks. Very interesting.
I wish they would've shown us what the picture was. Something tells me it wasn't what Lilly thought it was. Who knows.

Now for a long 2 week wait until the next episode of GG. BOOOO.

Started watching another show, HBO's True Blood. Interesting stuff. Side note though, it's on HBO for a reason. It's the adult, twisted, sexed up, gory version of Twilight. Haven't finished the first episode yet... still working on that.

Meh. Work has been busy tonight. It's taken over an hour to write this post. I give for now, so I'm gonna go back to watching Heroes. More on that later. Or, actually, I'll probably save my review from that for when we record on Thursday night. Or not. We shall see.

Over and out,
-Ky
