Since ‘Rip-Off Republic’ ended this evening hopefully this will be the end of the whole Eddie Hobbs phenomenon. I’ve had a lot of fun though, the high rating on Google for the ‘Eddie Hobbs’ search term has meant lots of visitors, most of them angry with me not loving the man himself. Just one comment […]

The last time I blogged about Television it was about ‘Lost’. I found out about ‘Lost’ through Boards.ie and again this is how I heard about ‘Veronica Mars’ also. For about the past 4 months or so I’ve seen various people mention they were watching ‘Veronica Mars’ or what not. When I first heard about […]

Living in Ireland I hadn’t heard much about ‘Lost’ until recently but then all of a sudden I saw a ‘Lost’ board on boards.ie. At that stage I had to figure out what the fuss was about.
So I downloaded a couple of the episodes and since then I’ve got them all. Since mostly only Irish […]

As usual 24 couldn’t quite keep up to the previous weeks standards. This always seems to happen when the previous week’s episode is amazing, all the same though it was better than 90% of the shows out there. I keep having to remind myself that they’re only 1/3rd of the the way through the series and that there are a hell of a lot more twists and turns in the plot to go!

Just when you think you have an idea of what is going on…..BAM! Well, once again, the writers of 24 have surprised me, they really shouldn’t anymore, but I’m sure they will again. In a shocker we see Kim in trouble (yep I’m being sarcastic) but at least it doesn’t last 14 episodes this time and more like 14 minutes! Thank you writers! The episode really did rock and I’m wondering just how many more twists and turns the series can take!

In the US they have to wait months to see the resolution of the previous episode but here we only had to wait one week and that was still too long for me! But at least it was great episode. The episode has really set up the season well for a really good finale which I can’t wait to see.

Woo-hoo, after me wishing and wishing and wishing, SG-1 finally goes back to the main story arc, and it does it in style. This was a great episode and the only drawback is that it’s a two parter and I have to wait another week to see the rest of it!

24 - This episode really did concentrate on just setting things up for future episodes. It was still good though. Kim as usual has managed to get herself into a world of trouble yet again! My money is on her being accused of being the mole by Guille. She’s already in trouble over the causing the prison riot thing, so it seems the obvious thing to happen! I guess we’ll find out next week, I wonder how long Jack’s flight to Mexico is going to take? How real time is it going to be?

Stargate - I enjoyed this one quite a lot. At least it was sort of on the main story arc. I really hope they start getting back onto the main arc properly soon. I’m a bit sick of the stand alone episodes. Well not so much stand alone episodes as crap stand alone episodes!

24 - Well the paced slowed down… a little for this episode. I loved it though. The Russian roulette scene was class, but in typical 24 fashion the whole thing was a bit over the top!
