This week's episode was far from boring. It was full of interesting twists including the killing of a main character--more on that later.
Once again if you want to see a recap of the episode go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egBsXMTfxkQ
I've decided to dedicate part of my blog to a topic that Pearl brought up early in the week with the show Heroes. Sometimes shows need to end. When LOST first came on, I never wanted it to end. Overtime, however, my view on this has changed. You can only do so much on an island in the middle of the ocean. If they wouldn't have gotten rescued, then I don't know what I would have done... I was tired of watching the smoke monster and the polar bears. (Yes...there were really polar bears in this tropical climate.) After having a rough patch in the first 4 episodes of Season 3-- the writers realized that they had to think about the show's future/ending. They decided that they were going to end the show after the 2009-2010 season. Ever since coming public with this decision, the show has continue to have high points. There are always the moments if they are ever going to stop throwing out questions and little answers, but this has changed. More questions are being answered then being asked. I have high hopes for the rest of season 5 and season 6.
And in case you want to know, there is a cast member that knows how the show is going to end--Matthew Fox who plays Jack Shepard. Why Jack Shepard???? I don't know either-- guess we will all have to wait until the end of the series.
Now to the second part to my blog--- The killing of a main character. In this week's episode- we see Sayid kill a main character. Who is the main character??? It is none other than the young Ben Linus!!!!! Nobody saw this coming-- even one of my mom's friends was shocked at what happened. What impact does this have on the show? A major one!!! If Ben is killed then everything that has happened-- and I do mean -- EVERYTHING-- never happened. Ben is responsible for bring the survivors originally to the island. Of course, it is too early for show to end-- so there will be some twist. I'm so excited for next week's episode to see what twist they have put into the show.
Till next time
This is Maggie-- signing out!

Top Model Drama
While thinking of which TV show to discuss for this week's blog, I realized I only had one option, America's Next Top Model. I only kind of paid attention to this week and with my verizon service having some issues the past two days, it's kind of my only option.
With that being said, I did however pay attention to the end. The end of it was intense. But first, let's recap what happened. The girls were instructed on posing by a famous posing man. He then had them do a challenge in front of an audience to see who could do different poses to music. He picked a winner and she got a reward. (Sorry again for the vagueness). The girls then had to do a photo shoot where they portrayed immigrants coming over to America on Ellis Island. They had to pose with kids and the posing man who acted as thier husband.
While at thier house, one of the girls talked about how she didn't feel like being there because at the time she was doing so poorly. Other girls in the house didn't like hearing about this because why should someone be there competing that has no desire too?
The girls then went to the judges panel to be judged. Tyra and I believe 3 other people were the judges. They went through each picture and talked with the girls about what was good and what was bad about thier photographs. After consulting with the other judges, Tyra revealed which of the girls were safe. Before she announced the final two, one of the girls decided to tell Tyra about the girl who didn't feel like being there. Tyra was not happy and didn't feel as if this girl should have told her. The girl in question got positive reviews this week.
I do agree with Tyra that the girl should not have told her about it to an extent. I feel the girl who doesn't feel like being there should tell Tyra herself or the other girl should have taken Tyra aside in private to explain the situation. I do however admire the girl who told Tyra because it was brave of her to do and if you want to get a head in life I believe you have to take risks and she did just that. Afterward the girl was crying and felt terrible, but she does have a point that someone who doesn't want to be there, shouldn't be competeing when other girls who do really want to be models are competing. It's not fair to the other girls.
That's it for now....Tune in next week for another reality recap!

Some Thoughts to Mull Over
Grey’s Anatomy has surprised me. Someone told me my last few posts have seemed all negative. In truth, I love TV (probably watch way too much of it) and I really like Grey’s and Heroes. With Heroes, I just think if they can’t make it new and good, they should end it and give us all some closure. Grey’s, on the other hand, seems to be thriving. They have come out of any slump you may have thought they were on.
I say this because these past episodes and especially this weeks, have brought up a couple really thoughtful and important things. To start, Izzie has decided to get treatment even though the odds say she will go through it all for nothing. So it made me think. Would I go through with the chemo, the surgeries, the loss of dignity for the mere shadow of hope, or live the rest of my time as I please. It’s easy to sit back on your sofa and answer, but if you REALLY think about it- what would you do? As humans, we have an innate instinct for survival. We are naturally inclined to do whatever we can even for the slim chance that it may give us another month or however long. But is that what’s best for you? For your family? Does it hurt them more to see your suffering prolonged? People say “oh but you can beat the odds.” If there’s a 1 in 2 million chance chemotherapy will give you another year, would you take it? Chemotherapy takes a lot out of life, so it leaves you with a lot to consider.
I realize this is morbid and maybe a bit depressing, but it just made me think, “Wow. That is an incredibly hard decision. And I thought deciding my classes for next semester was impossible.” So thinking about this may help you put things in a new light. A more appreciative light, perhaps?
The other point that Grey’s brought up in this episode was with Dr. Hunt and his suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It had been in earlier episodes, but this time it became a much bigger problem. *For those who did not see- His girlfriend Christina woke up to him choking her. He was not doing it consciously and she was able to scramble away after a while to the bathroom. It was hard enough to leave marks she had to cover.
So I applaud Grey’s Anatomy for bringing such an important topic to our TV screens. They used it to increase the drama on their show, but I think it’s informative too. PTSD is a real problem that many people suffer from, not just soldiers. However, since there is a war going on, PTSD has been in the news more recently in reference to those soldiers returning home. Unfortunately seeking help for it when you return is still seen as a weakness to some of these men and women. PTSD is probably more of a normal response than coming home and jumping right back into your husband/father or wife/aunt role. Think about it: many of those over seas are in combat and fearing for their lives every second. There is never a moment at ease for some and often, you must take another person’s life to save your own. It’s a daunting thought for me, to imagine having to kill another person. What if it were a kid? PTSD is nothing to be ashamed of. Here is a link for more information if you’re interested. It also offers information for the family and friends of those suffering from it. Even if you don’t know anyone with PTSD, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look. Awareness kills ignorance.

When to Pull the Plug
When I started to think of how to explain this episode of Heroes, I realized two things 1) my favorite characters had little if any air time and 2) the reason for that is simple: WAY too many characters. There’s too many personal story lines going to keep up and of course it keeps getting more ridiculous when you try to weave more and more of them to connect in some way. Before you know it Ando will be Hiro’s brother as well as Claire’s real dad and Nikki/Tracy will be her real mom, oh and Claire’s pregnant with Sylar’s baby that he telepathically implanted in her. It seems outrageous, but I wouldn’t put much past the writers in their desperate attempt to save the show.
Okay, so now to get to the summary- Heroes are still being hunted, some escaped, bla bla bla, new characters are introduced (are they serious?), Tracy’s dead, Rebel is Micah (that was cute I have to admit, but really weird to hear him with a deep voice), oh and the puppet-master man was delivered to Danko by someone (that was never explained, but will probably wind up being Danko’s other personality- ‘Cinnamon’).
Confused? Yea, I don’t blame you. I watched it and I’M still dazed. So here’s the point- When has a TV show outlived itself? Where do you draw the line and just say “okay, this is just too much stretching for new ideas and things to push us along, I just pulled a muscle.” I really liked the first season of Heroes but the second (aka- I’m going to see how BADLY I can write this) was just a joke. The third was like a roller coaster when you’re going up the big incline, click-clack, click-clack, click-clack. But now with the fourth it’s as if you started to make the drop and it was a bit exhilarating, but now there’s just no more track. Yes, you have plummeted to your death and your loved ones can sue to the theme park. Yay for a money-hungry society! See how off base I’ve gotten? JUST LIKE THE SHOW.
Obviously if nothing happened, it would be boring and not a show at all….(wait wasn’t Seinfeld a show about nothing?).. anyway you get it. No conflict = no show = nothing = bad. There needs to be a third party (Yes, if you insist I will take on this responsibility) to come out and say “Enough is enough. Put the pencils and other writing implements down and back away from the drawing table. Time of Death: 10:55 pm.”
You have to know it’s gone too far when you start recycling conflicts (i.e. Heroes season one =Peter sees a drawing of his future self blowing up New York City… Heroes current season = Parkman draws his future self blowing up Washington D.C. AND IT GETS BETTER- NATHAN SAVES THE DAY IN BOTH CASES!!) Are you serious?
Much love,
Pearl
***But remember, these writers have a knack for bringing the dead back to life (even if you see one blown up into millions of pieces and those pieces eaten by a wild dog and then that wild dog blasted to Jupiter) (Ex: MR.PETRELLI!, Nikki, Sylar, Claire, Nathan, Sylar again…) so I wouldn't be suprised if they continue to revive themselves forever and the show never ends. Scary, isn't it?

Welcome from The Reality Queen!
I, The Reality Queen, am mad.
Why? Because I just wrote a beautiful long blog about this column, Bravo's The Millionaire Matchmaker, and my thoughts and I was told it could not post b/c of an error. So I hit the back button and my entire post I was typing...deleted.... yuck
So as I think back to what I was going to post, I know I was talking about the Millionaire Matchmaker, a show on Bravo (one of my favorite channels). Patty, a matchmaker, takes Millionaires who have been highly successful in thier careers, but not in love, and tries to find thier perfect match. She takes two millionaires (usually men, but sometimes women) and selects a group of women (or men) to have a mixer with them. The two millionaires pick two of the matches each for a small date. They then pick on of two those for a master date. It is amazing what a good job Patty goes at pairing people together and teaching people how to approach the dating world.
On this past week's episode. There was a lady (and because I can't remember her name we'll just call her Lady), from the great and wonderful state of Minnesota (my home state!). Sadly, for MN, this lady was a terrible representation. She was only concerned with being youthful and was very superficial. She wanted a younger man with an extreme fashion sense. Patty confronted her on her faults and Lady stormed out of her office. A few days later, Lady agreed to meet with Patty again and Patty was able to find two younger men for Lady to go out with. Due to the fact Lady made me so mad, I turned off the show before it was over.
It seems there are many Lady's out there. People only concerend with looks, appearance, and youth. I think it is rather unforunate. All to often people judge other people just by how they look and they don't take a chance to get to know that person. There are too many people obsessed with trying to "fit in" with the Hollister clothes and fancy purses. I have never in my life bought anything from Hollister or have ever owned a designer bag. I have no desire to buy these things b/c I'm happy with my $10 dollar purse from Kohls or my clothes from JC Penny. People need to be comfortable with themselves and not focus on looks, b/c after all it really doesn't matter. Life's too short for those things.
Next week we will look at another Reality show and each week I'll keep you updated on previous shows!

Why are you dressed in Dharma gear?
Note to persons that have not seen the show, here is a very quick recap: Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on this mysterious island. There were only 42 survivors. Of those survivors, 6 were rescued. Now, three years later those 6 survivors have to come back to save the other survivors' lives... and now you are caught up.
In this episode entitled "Namaste", the viewer gets to see what happens to the plane that the 6 survivors were on. We already know that Jack-the doctor, Kate- the con artist, and Hurley- the guy who won a million dollars, are taken from the plane mid-air and put on the island. As far Sayid and Sun go, the viewers have yet to see them on the island. We later find out that Sun was still on the plane and did not get taken off the plane. Now this episode is in two different time periods. Sun is in the present time period as well as the other people who were on the plane, but Jack, Hurley, and Kate are all in a different time period. It is 1977 where they are.
The episode makes a jump to 1977 and there you see Jack, Hurley, and Kate. They are staring at a man. The man in question, is LaFleur. LaFleur is actually Sawyer, who was one of the original survivors on the Oceanic Flight 815 crash. This reunion is bittersweet because none of them have seen each other in three years. LaFleur tells them that he is a part of the Dharma Initiative- a organization that was using the island as part of scientific experiments back in this time. LaFleur asks them to stay put so he could figure out how to smuggle them into the grounds. While talking Jin, Sun's husband, overhears them say that Sun was on the plane too. He quickly leaves the three alone to go see someone who knows when a plane flies over the island.
Meanwhile in the present, Sun sees Ben- a creepy guy who has lived on the island on his life and used to be leader of a group called "the others" (more on them in a later blog- I have a feeling that they will be coming back into the picture). Ben starts to walk through the forest towards a boat that leads to the island and Sun follows and soon follows Lapidus- the pilot from the plane and man who helped rescue the Oceanic Six. Sun confronts Ben and says that she wants to go with him to find Jin, her husband. Lapidus tells her not to trust Ben and before you know it-- WHACK! She knocks Ben upside his head. Sun and Lapidus then proceed to the island.
Back in LaFleur's time, he gets a hold of Juliet- an "other" turned good guy- and tells her to put Jack, Hurley, and Kate on the list so they can get into the compound where they live. She tells him not a problem and he leaves to go get them. In the meantime, Jin rushes to one of the Dharma stations- The Flame- to ask its occupant Radzinsky if he heard a plane go by overhead. Just as Radzinsky is about to check, an alarm goes off. The two jump up and both yell "Hostile." Technically a hostile is what they call an other or a person who is native to the island or a threat in general. (Some time after 1977, the others do eventually overthrow the Dharma Initiative.) Jin is the first to reach the hostile... but indeed it is no hostile- it is Sayid. Although, Jin wants to be happy to see him, he is forced to tell him to get down on the ground and bring him back into the station. Radzinsky makes Jin call LaFleur- who is head of security as well- and tells him to come to the Flame. Secretly, he also tells him that it is Sayid. LaFleur finishes getting Jack, Hurley, and Kate situated and tells them to wait until the name is called. LaFleur goes to the Flame and picks up Sayid and Jin. Once back at the compound, he takes Sayid to a holding cell in security and winks at him to tell him it will be okay. A few hours later, a young boy named Benjamin Linus aka creepy man- comes to see Sayid and gives him food. While this is going on, Jack goes to visit LaFleur and finds out that he is living with his one time love- Juliet. He tells Jack that he just has to be patient and everything will work out.
Back in the present, Sun and Lapidus are at the compound where it once existed. They see a light in a window and proceed to appoach the building. As they are reaching it, the door opens and a man is standing in the doorway. It is Christian Shepard- Jack's father. Sun asks him if he knows where her husband is and he shows her a picture from the 1977 at Dharma Initiative compound. Christian then tells Lapidus and Sun that it is going to be a long journey back for them.
This is where the episode ends- here are my predictions:
- The "others" are going to come and take over the Dharma compound.
- Someone is going to find out about Jack, Hurley, Kate, and Sayid.
- Sun will be reunited with Jin at some point.
Confused???? Watch this. Maybe it will clear it up. If not, start the show from the first season.

Scruffy Derrick and Emotional Izzie
This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was probably one of the better ones. Quick recap of the main story lines: Izzie has cancer that’s metastasized to her brain and some other internal organs. I was getting really bored of her story line and then, Denny is back, but not, because he’s dead, or is he? Yea, he definitely is, but she had sex with him, but he wasn’t really there. Hmmm…. Yea. It was good to see him again though! He’s gone again now and Izzie’s dying. There’s only has a 5% chance she’ll make it through. She told Christina but then didn’t want anyone else to know. In the end Christina just blurted it out in the operating room. Alex’s face was so sad. Aww. Then Izzie thanked her for doing exactly what she asked her not to do.
Derrick has become all gloom and doom, going for that whole “I’m too moody to shave” look, so at the end of this episode, Meredith came to Derrick telling him she won’t love him if he doesn’t get his lazy ass out of the woods and operate on her friend’s brain. She doesn’t bring up the elephant in the woods- ‘you hit my engagement ring that you never actually told me about, with a baseball bat, and yelled at me and called me broken!’ PREDICTION: Derrick will operate on Izzie and saving her life will re-inflate his ego and he can go back to being a wonderful, sexy doctor. Who shaves.
George is just creepy and usually stalking around in the background somewhere. His character is pointless- possible spoiler- he and Izzie might not be coming back next season. Good riddance. He doesn’t bring anything to the show.
Callie is going to go on a date with the Pediatrics doctor. The Chief is still grumpy (because Derrick was getting drunk in the woods). Bailey sent Callie to the woods to save Derrick, but while sharing her own sob story about accidently killing her own patient, she tears up and starts drinking. Bailey sends out Hunt (the new doctor from the Army), who talks about how he’s killed people and then he starts drinking too. Finally the Chief goes out there, Derrick yells at him for telling Meredith about the ring (yea, that was really kind of stupid and none of his business) and then the chief goes into this spiel about how he better not screw it up with Meredith (I agree) and how he’s going to be there for him(Derrick) when he(Derrick) gets out of this hole he’s digging himself into.
Oh and of course there was the obligatory intense, ‘out-there’ medical case- a man missing half his face receives a donor face from a dead guy. Creepy, but really cool special effects/makeup. Next week’s preview looked good. But it’s probably just going to drag on the Izzie/Derrick drama and it’ll end right before he cuts into her.
