Are these people crazy?

I can’t get my head around the villains decision at all, maybe my view is clouded by the fact I detest Parvati/her game style and the fact I desperately don’t want this to be Micronesia v 2.0 but – really? really?

Vote her out for Christs sake, they are all aware of how she plays the game, they are all aware she already has a few people under her thumb and can be very persuasive and they are aware she’s going to hook back up with James/Amanda/Cirie who they are also aware are currently running the game over on the other tribe – complete 100% no brainer, surely?

Voting out Randy who has no friends on either tribe and isn’t known for being a great player because he’s weak? Well maybe he is but so are some of the others physically – Danielle, Courtney etc but it’s not like they have been losing – they’ve won 3 out of 4 (is it?) challenges.

Just makes no sense to me at all and I am even tempted to call producer shenanigans!

 

Dear Heroes

heroes_title_cardIt was great while it lasted, during the first few years you made me feel so many emotions each time we met, from love, warmth and joy to anger and frustration — if we weren’t together enjoying each others company, I was talking about you with friend or even strangers on the Internet. I analysed every little thing you said and did to see if I could unravel your wonderful mysteries.

Things turned stale though, and I am sure you realised it too. It seemed like you were trying too hard, making up mysteries when they really weren’t already there just to try and keep me interested. I stopped talking about you with friends. I stopped caring about what was going on in your life.

It was a tough decision, I have never broken up with a TV show before — but last night after seeing you again, I made the decision that it is time to move on.

I just don’t love you any more.

I’m sorry,

Love from Viki

 

The following takes place between 4pm and 5pm…

Oh happy days, 24 is back — Four hours over two day? Bliss.

For me 24 is one of only a handful of American drama shows that is still decent, even after so many seasons — I find the most have awesome first two seasons then turn to crap. Lost, Alias, Heroes…I could name countless others.

I have only seen the first two episodes so far, I plan to watch the other two tonight so shall report back with my feelings then :)

 

Heroes is Alright

The last few episodes have really picked up for me, this is a relief because I was starting to fear that it was going the same way as most American shows of a similar ilk — mind blowingly amazing first few seasons and then it descends into utter nonsense (I am looking at you Alias and Lost!).

I do still think it’s a little that way. How many times can Hiro need to save the world? How are we meant to care when someone dies because we know they are unlikely to be actually dead. How are we meant to take story lines seriously when we know that they can just explain anything away with time travel — time travel, the laziest form of storytelling known to television.

But at least it’s moving at a fast pace, there is character development and twists a plenty to keep it at least interesting.

 

I have a thing for the Bad Boys!

Apparently I do, but this is quite the revelation to me as I had no idea I had a Bad Boy thing.

I currently have crushes on just three people from the telly and there’s a common theme, they are all bad boys who have the potential to be tamed by the love of a good woman.

Sean Slater off of Eastenders is probably my favourite, and seeing him all gooey over baby Amy makes me weak at the knees — but you know he’d slash you if you so much as looked at him the wrong way.

Then there’s Silar off of Heroes who makes me shudder every time he stares down the camera, but does absolutely nothing for me as ‘Gabrielle’.

Finally there is Sawyer off of Lost. He’s been off my screen for far too long now and I can’t wait to see his naked chest again.
