If anyone in here's a Shield fan, I've seen the first 6 eps of this season. I can just about see how the last 4 might play out, but I have no idea how they're going to manage another 10 after that.
Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World
[NAFDA] Spoilers for any and all currently running TV shows. All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.
I love The Shield, but I'm like 2 years behind because I tend to catch up with it on DVD, and also, I'm lazy and easily distracted. (I am, unfortunately, spoiled for the Major Thing That Happened at the the end of last season, but I do not know the whys and wherefores because I'm so far behind.) I'm trying to get back up to date via Netflix so, well, maybe in a couple of months I'll be all, "Wait, tell me more!"
Hah! In a super cult-tv convergence, it would appear that John Simm (Life on Mars's Sam Tyler) is going to be the major end-of-season villain - THE villain - on Doctor Who. The Wikipedia Serials page has info and spoilers for all individual episodes.
Happy now!
Well, by ep 6 of the current season, the truth about the Major Thing has come out, and so the last 4 will be all about large amounts of shit hitting many many fans as that's dealt with. And then...another season of 10. Somehow. (Maybe they'll just kill everyone off except Ronnie and let him start a new strike team. I think he deserves it, after 6 seasons of being "the guy who doesn't talk much.")
Drive:
"I wish I had killed you now". Wendy, I loves you.
The stunt at the beginning of ep 2 is fantastic. Not seen anything like it in TV before. Iraq guy I do not like, and hope they both die in a fireball. Iraq exposition lines with the truck drivers really didn't like.
Violet and her dad to win. I loved her Dad.
Oh, and Fillion? He fucking OWNS the screen the entire time he's on it.
Heroes - regarding Mama Petrelli's powers:
Mama Petrelli's power is very similar to a power possessed by another hero, only in her case, it takes a lot less effort to get from Point A to Point B. [Source: Ausiello] from [link]
You think she's got Hiro's power?
Oh, and about season 2 (this is kind of mildly spoilerish):
Mastermind Tim Kring told me about season two, "There are plans to add one new, one big character next season." I'm told that character is female-to even out the gender ranks a wee bit. Tim also told me that those Heroes who remain are likely to stick around, 'cause he's changed his m.o. "I thought Heroes was going to have an ever-shifting cast," he says, "but the cast hit in such big ways that now the challenge is to figure out how to use them all and still fold in a couple of new people, because I still think that the origin stories are the most fascinating, in some ways."Sources tell me visions from the future are not always as they seem.
You think she's got Hiro's power?
The only other one I can think who travels in even a metaphoircal sense is Jessica/Niki. Maybe Mama Petrelli has two personalties that are already integrated.
That, or maybe she can see the future without needing to paint.
It could be metaphorical Points A & B. I would say Sylar (you know, without the killing), but we've already got that in Peter. Could be prophecy, without the use of paint (or dreams). Could be Eden, without having to talk.
Nathan's power involves travel as well, though it doesn't seem to take that much effort on his part.
