Grey’s Anatomy – Holidaze – Recap 2

Thursday, November 19, 2009, 11:35 PM | TV

(Here’s Desi’s recap of tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy: Holidaze)

O. M. G. Tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was the last before it takes its holiday break before resuming in January. As a result, they had three months and a lot of holidays to pack in, so the episode felt rushed. Until the OMG moment that closed out the show (the ABC dramas are full of those this week, aren’t they?)

FlashForward – Believe – Recap 2

Thursday, November 19, 2009, 10:38 PM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s recap of tonight’s episode of FlashForward: Believe)

This week on Flashforward, we get what I’ve been wanting for some time. More Bryce. He continues to search for the mysterious woman he saw in his flashforward and we learn more about his life before the blackout along the way. Aaron is worried about how Tracy is acting and Demetri tries to find more information about the anonymous caller who warned him of his fate. And last but not least we have Mark, who pisses off everyone in his path while he tries to figure out who sent Olivia the text about his drinking. Everyone’s looking for something this week but will they be happy with what they find?

Survivor: Samoa – The Day of Reckoning – Recap 7

Thursday, November 19, 2009, 09:51 PM | Survivor

Can I say it? Survivor: Samoa is one of the best seasons of Survivor ever. OMG. For a third week, another blockbuster tribal council. And in the words of Gabe: “That was beautiful.”

But first a brief recap:

It’s Evil Russell vs. Laura vs. Shambo! Who will win?

A lot of politics in Aiga after Kelly got voted off when Evil Russell played the hidden immunity idol last week.

Modern Family – Great Expectations – Recap 3

Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 10:58 PM | TV

(Here’s Desi’s recap of tonight’s episode of Modern Family: Great Expectations)

Modern Family returns this week after a hiatus for last week’s Country Music Awards, and we get a Very Special Episode with not one, but two guest stars: Elizabeth Banks and Edward Norton.

It’s Phil and Claire’s anniversary, and I think we should just start calling them Phlaire. They can be the Mavid of ABC comedy night. Phil wakes her up and immediately gives her gifts: a Viewmaster that projects images of the two of them and a bracelet. Claire…gives him coupons. In Phil’s interview, he lists things he’d rather have gotten, including a yogurt maker. I don’t even think that’s a real thing.

V – A Bright New Day – Recap 3

Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 12:01 AM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s Vcap of tonight’s episode of V: A Bright New Day)

Nothing is ever what it seems on V and this week is no exception. Visas are issued to the first batch of American Visitors causing outrage and violent protests to break out. Ana can see that this puts her plan of faux peace in jeopardy and leaps into action. What exactly she intends to do is a mystery right now but she is one sneaky alien and i’m sure it’s going to involve intense manipulation. What is it that the Visitors need from humans?

Heroes – Brother’s Keeper – Mohinder Returns – Recap 11

Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 01:03 AM | Heroes

This was a very good episode! While watching, it felt like Heroes from Season One, which made me me very happy. Maybe it was simply the return of the “old” Mohinder Suresh, I don’t know. But I have not felt this way about a Heroes episode — as everyone knows here on the blog — for a very long time.

Brothers & Sisters – The Wine Festival – Recap 1

Monday, November 16, 2009, 12:09 AM | TV

(Here’s Desi’s recap of tonight’s episode of Brothers & Sisters: The Wine Festival)

Expect this Brothers & Sisters recap to be largely unintelligible since I’m still processing what just happened. By the end of the episode, I was beginning all my notes with “OMG” and using caps lock explicitly in discussing the episode with others.

Ugly Betty – Backseat Betty – Recap 7

Saturday, November 14, 2009, 04:03 AM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s recap of last night’s episode of Ugly Betty: Backseat Betty – Adam Rodriguez is HOT!)

This week on Ugly Betty, things are getting weird and no one is acting like they normally do. Betty is out to prove she’s fearless, Justin tries to fit in at his school, and Daniel is still sippin’ the crazy juice over at that “support” group of his. This episode is full of twists and is graced with a hot guest appearance by Adam Rodriguez. Besides it being Ugly Betty night, that was reason enough for me to tune in.

Grey’s Anatomy – New History – Recap 2

Friday, November 13, 2009, 01:47 PM | TV

(Here’s Desi’s recap of last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy: New History)

This week Grey’s returns to the tunnel, which I always thought was one of the great plots of the early seasons. It gave the interns somewhere to hide from the rest of Seattle Grace, but tonight it serves as a kind of Underground Railroad for Dr. Stevens’ return. She meets Meredith, pushing in a man in a wheelchair. She tells Meredith that it’s her high school biology teacher and that she needs Mer’s help to get him seen by Derek. He says something about Izzie being pregnant, and Meredith looks at her, stunned: “you’re pregnant?” And no, she’s not, Dr. Singer just thinks she’s in high school again. (Thanks for that, Shonda.) It took me over half the episode to remember that Izzie was pregnant in high school. The Nyquil must really be messing with my memory.

Project Runway – Finale Part 1 – Recap 6

Friday, November 13, 2009, 01:00 AM | Project Runway

How sad. I’ll keep this brief because, you know, it was a serious episode.

After a few weeks of Project Runway Season 6, the main story arc in the Finale is Carol Hannah’s stomach flu. So disappointing.

And to add to the insult, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia make a surprise visit to “mentor” the designers. Too late.

Logan, Gordana and Christopher come back to help with the surprise 13th look which always happens.

At Models of the Runway, the designer’s models pick the model for the 13th look.

Who will win Project Runway? Do we still care?

I think Carol Hannah will win… because I think her name would make a great clothing label.

FlashForward – Playing Cards with Coyote – Recap 1

Thursday, November 12, 2009, 10:54 PM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s recap of tonight’s episode of FlashForward: Playing Cards with Coyote — I miss you Lee Thompson Young!)

This week on Flashforward, Mark gets a lead on the tattooed assassin from his vision, Aaron discovers the truth about Tracy’s “death”, and Simon tries to stop Lloyd from going public about their experiments. After Gough seemingly proved that the future can be changed, everyone sets out to change their visions. I don’t know what’s worse. Choosing your actions based on what you see as the inevitable or choosing those actions to prevent what may or may not be the inevitable. Confused? Me too.

Survivor: Samoa – Tastes Like Chicken – Recap 13

Thursday, November 12, 2009, 09:33 PM | Survivor

(By popular demand, I’ve written a longer well-thought-of recap. Please comment and join the discussion!)

After the previous tribal council where Erik got blindsided, the old Galu tribe talks about Evil Russell and how stupid he was to play the hidden immunity idol. Laura says it was a win-win because if flushed out the idol and gave them their next target who is Evil Russell.

In the morning, Natalie kills a rat! Woohoo. She didn’t realize she was so hungry. They have it for breakfast. “It tastes like chicken,” says Natalie.

(Gleecap is back! Here’s our Gleetern Noelle with all the details for tonight’s episode on Glee: “Wheels”)

Omg Glee is finally back! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Yankees but I need my Glee fix. Tonight we finally get what has been long overdue: More Kurt and Artie! This week, the Glee kids get together to support Artie by performing in wheelchairs and Kurt and Rachel have a diva-off and duel for a big solo. Kurt belting out a broadway classic? I am so there.

V – There Is No Normal Anymore – Recap 2

Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 10:50 PM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s recap of tonight’s episode of V “There Is No Normal Anymore”)

The episode kicks off right where we left it last week, with Erica and Jack sitting wordlessly outside after fighting for their lives against the V’s. They decide the best plan of action is to finish what the others started and continue trying to build a resistance group and track down the ones who got away. It’s a tricky situation when you don’t know who you can trust. Anyone could be a Visitor and anyone could betray you at any moment. The Visitors have been here for years and they’re very good at disguising themselves. You would think an alien lizard would be easily distinguished but apparently not.

Ugly Betty – Plus None – Recap 2

Saturday, November 7, 2009, 01:10 AM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s recap of tonight’s episode of Ugly Betty: Plus None)

This week on Ugly Betty, Betty is overcome with the feeling of being unneeded. Between Matt asking someone else as his date to Wilhelmina’s fundraiser and Daniel hiring his new assistant, things are changing too fast for her liking. Her problems are minimal compared to what Wilhelmina and Nico are still dealing with but everything may not be as it seems. More Marc please.

FlashForward – The Gift – Recap 10

Thursday, November 5, 2009, 11:56 PM | TV

(Here’s Noelle’s recap of tonight’s episode of FlashForward: The Gift)

This week on Flashforward, Mark, Demetri and Gough investigate the meaning behind the Blue Hands and their connection to the visions. Demetri comes to terms with his fate, Nicole still tries to act like a good person and atone for something she hasn’t done yet (work that jesus t-shirt girlfriend), and Aaron gets another piece to the puzzle that is his daughter’s death. This episode is a real doozy and if you were losing faith in this show then you better find it again because it’s awesome. And I’m not just talking about the fact that Joseph Fiennes is shirtless in one of the opening scenes. Really. I’m not.

Project Runway – The Art of Fashion – Recap – Double Elimination 4

Thursday, November 5, 2009, 11:47 PM | Project Runway

Michael Kors is out again, and it’s almost the finale. Whatev. How is he and Nina Garcia supposed to judge the designers during the finale when they were not around half the time? It’s like they were guest judges. So disappointed.

Cindy Crawford guests.

This episode was so serious.

The only bright point was Christopher when he utters his usual line: this dress is about me! OMG. The dress was about green algae in a pond. Was it mean of me to be laughing while he was crying? Anyway…

Rate the Walk here

Double elimination, and three designers go to Bryant Park for Fashion Week. The results:

Grey’s Anatomy – Invest In Love – Recap 7

Thursday, November 5, 2009, 11:32 PM | TV

Here’s Desi’s recap of tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy: Invest In Love

Grey’s Anatomy starts this week with a medley of beeping pagers, doctors being called to the hospital at 4 in the morning. Meredith’s voice-over explains all the problems that are associated with pages in the middle of the night. Callie, Arizona and Cristina rouse themselves out of bed and rush to the hospital where they’re faced with a pregnant woman who’s been in a bad accident. Arizona calls for a crash c-section as the baby has a brain bleed, and Callie starts to reassemble the woman’s fractured legs.

Thursday, November 5, 2009, 09:08 PM | So You Think You Can Dance

The tribes merge to form Aiga.

Evil Russell poking around the old Foa Foa tribe, showing his immunity Idol trying to get alliances. A lot of politicking off the bat. The consensus: get rid of Laura from Galu.

Immunity challenge: twist!

Male and Female immunity challenges, two individual immunities handed out during T-Ball.

Modern Family – En Garde – Recap 0

Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 10:47 PM | TV

(Here’s Desi’s recap of tonight’s episode of Modern Family: “En Garde”)

Modern Family was amazing this week. Between the red leotard and Manny’s sport of choice and one-liners, I was actually constantly LOLing. The family starts the episode at a sporting event in a high school gym. Having been a wrestling brat I expected to see someone rolling around in a onesie, but instead the camera pans over to Manny… wielding a sword. Cameron has a camera on a stick (because he doesn’t make home movies, he makes “home films”) to capture all the action as Manny advances to the championship round. Claire and Phil are left to wonder if they’ll ever have kids that are the champions of anything since Haley spent the meet rubbing her phone battery on her head to charge it with static electricity at her sister’s suggestion and Luke believes that one season of baseball equals 6,000 hours.
