The New Show Reviews

The Nine. Solid B. The problem with this show though is I don’t really know if I was in a bank robbery would I keep in contact with all of the hostages afterwards. Would you? I would think I would want to forget that day. But during this pilot, they all go to dinner together. And there’s a big surprise ending because one person doesn’t go to the dinner and that person…. well, if you want to know the rest you’ll have to watch. Don’t you just love that old tried and true wrap-up ending from elementary school book reports? It still works, people!

Friday Night Lights. A-. I liked this a lot. It took it’s time setting up the story and the payoff was good. However, I feel like this show has a tough road ahead of it. Two questions. 1) Will they use the same bookending technique, or chaptering? (They break it up by day starting with Monday.) Because like that’s gonna get old if every week they do that. We get it, you’re gearing up for Friday’s football game. 2) So ok, the football season, like that’s the arc of the show. But doesn’t that get old too? Like they win a game this week, they lose a game this week, maybe they tie (do they tie in h.s. football?) one week. That doesn’t seem too exciting after awhile. Still, me likey.

Still up? Six Degrees. Also, watched Heroes ep. 2 and how great is the plot line that the sort of creepy X Files esque guy is the cheerleader’s stepdad? I mean, that’s just a great idea.

    Heroes 2 was great! Especially the ending with the Japanese guy. He is my favorite TV character in years.
