Review: Veronica Mars – Season 3 finale

Goddamit!

They just had to go and pull it out of the bag with the finale of the show and remind me why I love it so much when they get it right that I’m now seriously pissed off that we won’t get a fourth season.

Heroes: How to Stop an Exploding Man

The finale was a good solid episode with a few really bloody fantastic moments.

The whole ‘How do you stop an exploding man?’ thing resolved exactly how I thought it would with Nathan to the rescue, like my friend Trace I saw this happening half a season ago.

Loved it when Ando said Hiro looked badass and Hiro’s response to that.

Molly Walker’s mention of a man that scares her even more than Sylar.

Nikki smacking the shit out of Sylar and then Peter presumably absorbed her super-strength was cool and if the blood trail to the manhole is any indication we may yet get the full on Peter vs Sylar showdown we were missing here.

Hiro in 17th century Japan. Hells yeah!

Cannot possibly wait until the second season. If only I could time travel to the future like Hiro.

Lost: The Man Behind the Curtain

Just WOW! Best episode ever! The last few episodes of the season better be this good.

We’re gonna be having some kinda of showdown between The Others and The Flight 815 survivors for sure when they come for Sun.

I hope we get the explanation for who or what Jacob is too. Also how the fuck does Richard not appear to have aged in 30 years?

I think Jacob in the very brief glimpse that we saw of him looked like Locke but with hair and a bit of a beard. Although given my theorising about what’s going on that is probably wrong and it’s not Locke at all.

I think that Ben became the leader of the Others because Richard recognised he had a special affinity with the island when he learnt that Ben was able to see his dead mother there and by that also have the ability to communicate with Jacob (who or what ever he might be).

I think Ben was able to summon his mother there in the same way that I believe Locke summoned his own father.

Ben fears that the Others may choose to replace him with Locke who seems to have a greater affinity with the island than Ben currently does. Richard undermined Ben’s plan to remove Locke from the group by giving Locke the means to kill his father through Sawyer.

Perhaps Richard is the real man behind the curtain.

Best headline ever.

Skywalkers in Korea cross Han solo

SEOUL, South Korea – They came from all over the world, poles in hand, and feet ready to inch more than half a mile across a high wire strung over the Han River in a spine-tingling battle of balance, speed and high anxiety.

As part of its annual city festival, the South Korean capital staged Thursday what was billed as the world’s first high-wire championship, drawing 18 contestants from nine countries for three days of supreme feats of concentration.

Each acrobat must navigate the 1.2-inch-thick wire that spans the river, with the top prize of $15,000 going to the person crossing it fastest.

Great, kid. Don’t get cocky.

Best Han Solo quotes ever and when to use them in conversation.

But one of my personal favourites is missing from the list.

And I thought they smelled bad… on the outside!

Not sure if you could use that in polite conversation though.

24: CTU security

Is it just me or does CTU LA seem to be the least secure Counter Terrorist facility on the planet. I’ve lost track now of how many times it has been successfully infiltrated or attacked it seems to have at least once a season if not more.

Hour 21 of Season 6 and it has happened again and been taken over by Chinese agents. Poor foolish Milo. This would never have happened had Bill Buchanan been left in charge!
