New posts?

Unfortunately I cant write about new shows if new shows don't air so therefore I will not post new posts until fall of 2011. Thank you and happy reading!

Falling Skies

In new science fiction series produced by Steven Spielberg a Alien Invasion has occurred on Planet Earth. The premiere is that alien ships have arrived in present day and have already brought a whole lot of destruction already taking out military targets and population decimated. It’s left up to ordinary citizens to fight back (kids included) even though they are vastly outnumbered, under-armed and technologically lacking. The Series picks up six months after the invasion and part of the citizen army known as 2^nd Mass (because they are in Boston) is looking for food and weapons, trying to avoid the deadly mechanized robots doing the killing for the multiple-legged aliens Skitters who launched the attack. Personally I don't think its that good because everyone seems to be taking their new lives quite easily. They all have adjusted well and don't seem to have any emotional problems which seems unusual. Other than that it is pretty good. The Computer animation is good and the acting is great.
Interesting fact: 13 episodes have been made at 4 million each.
Airs Sundays at 9/8 pm on TNT

Happy Endings

Alex and Dave's Wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, but when Alex decides this wedding isn't for her she leaves her husband to be at the altar. This huge game changer complicates everyone's lives. Such as Alex and Dave's group of friends and the big question throughout the show is who gets the friends. Before the unhappy event Alex and Dave were the glue that keep the group together.Alex's sister, Jane  and her  husband Brad who are trying to start a family but who are so shocked by what happened they can't maintain their pre-pregnancy no-meat, no alcohol cleanse; Max, their gay friend; and Penny who worries about never finding the right guy. After the wedding fiasco, the group rallies around good guy Dave. Alex returns, alone, and tries to explain why she broke up with Dave. Bo, the guy Dave assumes she left him for, isn't the reason for her running away. She'd been questioning her feelings for Dave for some time, but just couldn't bring herself to hurt him. Dave points out that this is the sort of thing you discuss before the wedding.
Personally this isn't the show for me but for those Sex and the City lovers I think this would be the show for them. I don't think I will be flipping my remote to Happy Endings any time soon.

Breaking in

Cameron is your typical college slacker with some weird syndrome. Even with seven years of schooling, he'd rather pull pranks and hack into teachers' emails instead of actually graduating. But once high tech security firm Contra Security hears about Cameron's talents, it's only a matter of time before they come calling. Boss Oz literally breaks into Cameron's dorm room and takes him under his wing as an intern at the company, which attempts extreme heists to win over clients. I wasn't really hooked in the beginning but it seamed to get better towards the end. I might watch it one more time before I make a decision on it.

The Walking Dead

As coma-woken police officer stumbles past rows of dead bodies outside the hospital, we expect them to waken. We keep seeing bodies, and we’re kept guessing whether they’re live, dead or undead.The first survivors he meets are a father and son, Morgan and Duane tormented by Morgan’s wife walking the streets outside the suburban home where they’re squatting. Unable to put her out of her misery, they’re frozen in place, tormented by her presence. It’s the most nightmarish of scenarios-hunted by the shell of a loved one-the zombies aren’t generic; this one is personal.Few living souls and little action for a zombie show also leads to good character development. Grimes (the Cop) is shell-shocked by the world he wakes up to and Morgan serves as his mentor into reality. There are more survivors, and they’ve somehow got to work together and fight the fantastical, but they won’t always work together. It’s the horror version of "Lost" with fewer smoke monsters and more crawling torsos.
