Monday night TV roundup

Spoilers Ho!

Chuck: Kind of a middle-of-the-road ep for the most part, but not bad. It's interesting that we're seeing a lot more growth from Morgan's character than we are from Chuck's. I've been waiting for the reveal that Teh Evol Bryce Larkin is really not a bad guy after all and we finally got it. I did love the bit where Chuck called all the matriculated Stanford CIA recruits for help, though. And the library guy chasing him all over creation about the overdue book. :)

Heroes: Dang it, I was so hoping that JessNica was really going to buy it this time but noooo... I was all weepy for Hiro twice (having to leave Yaeko and then finding out about his dad). It's clear that Hiro didn't 'break history' at all, he was the 'real' Kensei all along. Matt really kicked ass (as did Greg Grundberg who was amazing in his scene with Molly!) and the reveal on Adam was fantastic. I'd been wondering if that was who he was going to turn out to be, but that didn't make it any less fun. And Mohinder, oh, Mohinder. You're such an academic. Book-smart and real-life stupid. Good thing you're pretty.

Journeyman: ::headdesk:: I was right last week to be suspicious that the resolution between Jack and Dan was a red herring. I loathe that storyline and was so hoping it was over. Last week after Zack found the money I remember thinking "Oh man, if they have Zack show the money to Uncle Jack I'm going to be SO peeved." And lo and behold, that's exactly what they did. ::sigh:: Can you say Deus ex machina? I thought you could.

Book-smart and real-life stupid. Good thing you're pretty. So funny. So true! I'm glad the season finally hit its stride with conflicts galore; the last few episodes have kinda...dragged.

BTW -- happy belated birthday! Hope it was a great one!

See, I don't think this season has dragged much at all in comparison to the first half of last season, wherein I nearly fell asleep during most of the Nikki/Jessica bits. At least the Maya-Alejandro-Sylar trio has the entertainment value of being darkly amusing. ;)

And thanks! I had a great birthday. :D

Curses! We missed recording Heroes *yet again* last night, but this time because I think I broke the dvr. How was I supposed to know you shouldn't move it while it's recording? I mean, i didn't drag it around the room; I moved the tv stand slightly, it's on wheels. So we also didn't see the last half of SGA. Which is much harder to get ahold of. AND the damn dvr is dead. :P

I saw Adam a mile away but was still excited. Poor Claire when she finds out she's going to live for hundreds of years.

Hiro ::sobs::

I am so sick of Jack on Journeyman. I just want to bitchslap him. He needs to mind his own damn business. I'm not even sure what his motivation is anymore.

Am I the only one who just imagines that Dan is sort of stuck in the Quantum Leap project?

(I have to watch "Journeyman" the next night on tape :) )

Can you say Deus ex machina? I thought you could.

:P Kid can keep a secret about his dad disappearing but not about the money? Convenient.

I did like the Livia leap (for lack of a better term) into the closet. I think she can kind of move at will. I'm curious to know more about her.

I'm looking forward to next week, meeting the scientist dude again, learning what his role is in all of this.
