Review Roundup XVIII  

Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire
Doing a sword and sorcery show is hard.  Doing a comedy is also hard.  Doing an actually funny show with people on quests and living in castles and being the chosen one and having sex with 300 dudes is really hard.  And this show succeeded, I was quite pleasantly surprised.  Kudos Comedy Central, kudos.

Chuck
Really the most pleasantly predictable hour of television on today.  The will they/won't they between the two romantic leads is going nowhere, but that is more than made up for by the fact that the plot is actually moving along quite a bit recently.  Loads of fun, actually makes me laugh.

Lost
Truly, getting an end date to this show was the best thing that ever happened to it.  This season is fantastic in its ability to trot out a mystery in one episode and then solve that mystery the very next episode.  And not only that, due to all of the time traveling hijinks, we are getting answers to questions that were posed in the very first damn season.  Also, the last run of episodes has pushed boring, depressing, drama filled Jack and Kate to the background and focusing on much more fun Sawyer, Blondie and Ben.  Ben needs a damn Emmy, he is just a lie covering up shadiness covering up a scam inside a candy coating of insecurity.  Outstanding.

Mad Men
You know, even if the acting in this show wasn't superb, everything in the show is just so damn good looking.  All of the people, all of the clothes, and all of the sets.  So sleek, so retro yet timeless, the whole show is just a visual fucking feast.  Oh, and the acting is fantastic.  Starting watching this is what made me stop watching Heroes, that is how striking the contrast was.  The acting was so spectacular that it made me stop watching a show with sexy telekinetic serial killer that kept on doing horrible things to a blond cheerleader for a show about the advertising business.

Chuck is my favorite show on TV. I mean I get ALL the jokes and comments and shit so that helps. Its well written and it DOES keep moving ...just when you think an episode is going to be some filler crap they turn that mother up to 11 and bring the plot right back in. The acting is damn near perfect. The guest stars are stellar... dude! CHEVY CHASE!!!! The episode where Chuck flipped the Tron poster to reveal his diagram to help figure shit out I about lost my mind! There is sooo much going on with that show it would be an injustice for it not to get renewed for a 3rd season.


Lost is fucking awesome too! Dude when they made been look younger in that last episode i was like what the fuck is up with his shemp hair ... but it worked! I'm glad that show finally went somewhere cos I was bout done with it on season 3 .
