Review - How I Met Your Mother Season 6 Episode
16 Desperation Day

post from The TV Obsessed on 14 February 2011 11:07:58 PM. © The TV Obsessed

Two-thirds through the season, How I Met Your Mother hasn't alleviated fears that the Mother won't be revealed for a while longer and I'm very wary of this blossoming relationship with Zoey. But it has managed the current arc effectively, starting with the devastating news of Marshall's father's death. There have been fantastic scenes for Marshall strewn across each episode, and you can't help but feel for him. The impact of a parent dying is always huge, and the writers acknowledge this with several episodes with Marshall not yet back into normal routine.

The day before Valentine's Day is Desperation Day, says Barney, and there is desperation in the air, even for those in relationships. Marshall is holed up at his mother's house, trying to cling on his childhood and father. Ted also runs off to Minnesota after freaking out over Valentine's Day plans. Eventually, they realize they have responsibilities and head back home to face whatever is there. Marshall seems to be over this hump and Ted is now firmly in a relationship with Zoey.

Providing the humor is Barney and Robin, who spend their time at the bar talking about Valentine's Day. An interesting development for Barney is Nora, whom Barney has a real date with.

Score: 8.9/10

The Bachelor: Brad Has Trouble Showing Emotion

post from LoveHateTV: for the Love of Reality TV on 14 February 2011 10:11:01 PM. © LoveHateTV: for the Love of Reality TV

Everyone take steel drum lessons, Brad and the ladies are going to Anguilla! Oh who are we kidding, it?s Valentine?s Day. No one wants to be watching this right now but the fact of the matter is that we ARE so let?s move forward from that. Two girls go home tonight and the remaining four get the coveted, make-or-break hometown date. And today there will be FOUR DATES. And only a rose on the group date. Chris Harrison is blowing our minds (but only because we?re trying to think really hard about why he got to come to Anguilla).

Britt is hoping she gets one of the THREE one-on-one dates because she hasn?t had much time with Brad at all. I hope so, too. The first one-on-one date goes to Emily, though. Naturally. Brad feels like he doesn?t deserve to be with Emily so that makes him nervous. We agree with you, Brad, you probably don?t.

Helicopter. They?re going to ?their own private island.? Brad bought it for them with ABC?s money. ?What are you thinking?? Emily asks Brad. ?Uhhhhhh this is a really cool view,? said Brad. Dehhhhhh. And don?t call her ?Em.?

Sorry, Brad, Emily is out of your league. Even if you are THE Bachelor. He?s too dumb, end of story. I am also dumb because it took me a while to figure out that she named her daughter Ricki, after her deceased fiance Ricky. Brad is too bumbling and nervous in front of Emily, and breaks the rules by telling her that he is giving her a rose at the next rose ceremony. The hometown date is definitely happening for her (?SO LET ME MEET YER KID!?).

Shawntel N. gets the next one-on-one. Britt (and I) are like GIVE ME A BREAK. I like Shawntel though. He took her to a farmer?s market, her perfect date and he had no idea! Neither did the producers, who planned the date and were hoping it could be some sort of Fear Date. Brad likes that Shawntel doesn?t take herself too seriously, and that she?s willing to play Dominoes to keep from being sold into prostitution.

Baby goats! This IS the perfect date! The baby goats took the liberty of pouring Brad and Shawntel two giant glasses of red wine. Shawntel says the magic words, ?I?m FALLING in love with you,? because she really didn?t need to go as far as to say, ?I?m in love with you,? like CHANTAL did. I?m so over Chantal, it?s all about Shawntel.

Speaking of jacking Chantal?s style, it RAINS on Brad and Shawntel?s date. Don?t get jealous, Chantal! ?We HAD to seize that moment,? quoth Brad. Then Brad arranged for a concert from ?probably the most famous singer in Anguilla.? I just wish this were Chris L?s season.

Poor Britt is way behind the other girls, and she finally got her one-on-one. Michelle is furious and thinks there is a good chance. their ship. will go down.

So Brad picks Britt up in a yacht and all the girls are JEALOUS. No one more jealous than Michelle, who is looking tired and losing her evil powers (or she?s just stopped caring about the dramatics). My husband, Jeff, says it?s good that they went swimming because Britt was wearing too much makeup initially. He?s a good man.

Britt, a tiny little lady, climbs up the side of a rock faster than it takes her to feel okay about jumping off the side. This would be a total fear date for me. Not okay. I?m really proud of Britt for jumping, that would be so terrifying. I don?t think our lady Britt will make it to the next round but I love her just the same.

?Life would be better without Michelle around,? says Chantal to the cameras. ?I really don?t want to be going on a date with you guys,? Michelle tells Chantal and Ashley S. So we still know who the HBIC is.

Unfortunately for love, Britt is shy. It?s way too late in the game to be shy. Also way too late to have your first one-on-one, so we?re in Disadvantage City, population: Britt. Brad doesn?t have the urge to grab and kiss Britt so yeah, it?s beyond over for her. She?s not even close to falling in love with Brad, she just wants to get to know him better.

The producers highlight the awkward silences between sour nothings in Brad and Britt?s conversation. It?s just not there. So Brad lays it out for Britt, he doesn?t see a future with her. Then he banishes her from the yacht, sending her off alone on a boat. That SUCKS!

It was nice of him to let her know before the rose ceremony. This will certainly NOT be the most dramatic rose ceremony ever. ?It?s not the same without you heeeerrrrre!? Ashley tells Britt, because Britt is always hanging out with the girls and hardly ever hanging out with Brad. And it will continue to be different, because Britt is leaving immediately. That?s a long plane ride.

MOVING ON! Brad wakes Ashley, Michelle, and Chantal up early for their nudey date. They?re going to bare it all for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Gross! Who would want this as a date? Oh, Michelle would.

Chantal is complaining, as usual. Today she feels like a ?fat lard.? More like a redundant lard! Not that it even matters, there?s no film in that camera. Ashley puts some conch shells over her boobs so that they can hear the ocean. Chantal decides to act confident, and drips wet sand all over her body before taking her top off. Brad acts like he hasn?t seen the goods yet.

Michelle is not so ?easily persuaded.? But she HAS done a little modeling (SURPRISE!) so she mounts Brad like a PROFESSIONAL and her fake boobs practically come out on their own. Michelle rated her photo shoot ?at least a 15? on a hotness scale of 1 to 10. Why say from 1 to 10 if you?re going to go above that scale with an unlimited scale all of your own? If it was ?at least a 15? why wasn?t it a solid 16? Or maybe even a 30? WHY NOT?

I guess the ladies got to keep their swimsuits (yeah, why wouldn?t they? I wouldn?t want to wear a swimsuit Michelle had worn). At the pool party, Brad takes Ashley aside and she feels like an idiot. Are they drinking guacamole? That is a green ass drink.

Ashley asks Brad to do what?s best for him, and tells him that if it?s not her she?ll be okay. This, for whatever reason, offends Brad. Every woman must be devastated not to be with him!

Chantal feels like an idiot, too. Brad is starting to seem a little insecure, asking Chantal if her feelings have changed at all. Don?t worry, Brad, there?s at least one lady who will never be the same if you send her home.

Michelle thinks the last time she and Brad spoke it was a ?deep conversation.? Wasn?t that the time she told him not to talk at all? He sees her as a strong, almost volatile (ALMOST?) woman and he thinks they are ?maybe too much alike.? Brad, you aren?t smart enough to be that manipulative. This group date is not going well, nor is it fun in any way.

Brad tells Chantal that he?s having trouble showing emotion this week. Only this week? I must not read facial expressions very well. He takes Ashley, who is not in trouble, aside to give her a rose. She?s like, ?don?t send me home!? but she does not say ?ugh!? so she gets the rose. I don?t know why. Chantal is ready for this date to be over. So am I. Brad is a GOON!

Ashley returns with the rose like ?HI GUYS!!? and Chantal starts crying. So Brad takes her away like a dutiful babysitter. Not bothering to sit up at all, Chantal is like, ?you can?t even pick me out of three girls? Jist send me hoooooame!? Do it, Brad!

The ladies arrive barefoot at the gorgeous cocktail party/rose ceremony location, which Chris Harrison will surely mention in his blog tomorrow. And I won?t care then, either. Most of the women are wearing black, and Michelle is giving NBC some free advertising.

Chris Harrison walks in on Brad staring at a candlelit shrine of the ladies? headshots, ?Hey I heard you wanted to talk to me before the cocktail party!? I bet he didn?t, Chris! Brad tells Chris he doesn?t want to do the cocktail party tonight, he has made his mind up. I think Michelle is going home, which is really a shame because I would LOVE to meet her family. But Brad doesn?t want to risk it.

Michelle proclaims she will be ?f***ing pissed? if she goes home tonight. Oh I want to see it! But this week, of all weeks, to send her home? Why not last week, or the week before when she was acting truly insane? I don?t know, if it were me, I?d send Chantal home, but Brad always chooses the decision that will make the fewest waves and he wouldn?t send someone home who was that openly obsessed with him.

After a vague speech to an unknown woman, Brad hands out the roses. Emily gets the first rose, since Brad is at least a man of his word. Next, Shawntel N. gets a rose (YES!) and the final rose goes to ? Chantal. :( That slap was such a good neg.

Silver lining: the reign of terror is over! Michelle is out of the running to ?win? The Bachelor. Brad asks her if she wants to talk, she says no, and he puts her in the limo and sends her off! Perfect. I wonder if he?ll ever know how crazy she is, even after watching the show.

Michelle, for whatever reason, lies down in the limo, sapped of her powers. Jeff thinks she is probably relieved that she doesn?t have to keep scheming, or keep this act up anymore. I was waiting for her head to just explode or spin around in a circle but it never did. Nice dignity, Michelle!

Shawntel is my girl, and Chantal has a creepy little dog! Next week, Ricki will reject Brad for Emily and Shawntel will show Brad, who doesn?t handle death well, where she works. Yessssssss.

Whose hometown date are you looking forward to the most? Who are you rooting for?

soap opera

post from Matt Carter's feed on 14 February 2011 09:54:42 PM. © Matt Carter's feed

This was an episode of "The Bachelor" to remember for a number of reasons, primarily in that how a shoot for Sports Illustrated managed to escalate into pretty much all sorts of drama. Before that though, there were a few one-on-one...

The Cape's Summer Glau giggles her way through
Mr. Media interrogation! (Interview)

Summer Glau, image via WikipediaBy BOB ANDELMAN (email)
Mr. Media® Radio

Summer Glau gets some of the most enviable genre roles on television.

Her first was on "Angel," where "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon liked her so much he cast in the wonderful, yet short-lived sci-fi adventure "Firefly" and the film that followed it, Serenity.

--------------Listen to my SUMMER GLAU interview!--------------
She was on the cult series ?The 4400,? then made it big return to network TV as the hottest Terminator ever in the Fox series, ?Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.?

Now she?s an investigative blogger named ?Orwell? who partners with the lead character in NBC?s ?The Cape? to fight crime and corruption in Palm City. It?s the perfect accompaniment for fans of ?Chuck,? who get to the end of that show and want more, more and more.

Did I mentioned Summer Glau is also quite beautiful? Or that you can see more of her in the new issue of Esquire?
