TV TALK: December 22, 2008 – The Hills, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and HEROES

My TV watching for the night began with “THE HILLS” (season 4 episode 21 titled “Mr. and Mrs. Pratt”), this was a big episode to show how Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag got married about a month ago in Mexico. Surprisingly, she was drunk when the two got married. So, it was interesting to watch the “The Hills Aftershow” on MTV and btw, Lo Bosworth just looked beautiful (just had to say that) on show. But what was more surprising is the trailers for the upcoming season finale. Heidi’s mother confronts both Spencer and Heidi and the issue of whether their marriage was legal is brought up and also Heidi and Lauren friends again? Definitely, things are going to look quite interesting for this series.

The next was a hilarious episode of “The Big Bang Theory” (Season 2, episode 11 titled “The Big Bath Item Gift Hypothesis”). In this episode, Penny buys Christmas gifts and Sheldon freaks out because that means he has to reciprocate and buy her a gift which leads to a hilarious Christmas shopping experience for Sheldon. The main episode was about a hunky physicist friend of Leonard’s that Penny starts to become attracted to. For Leonard, he doesn’t understand why Penny is all of a sudden into scientific men and never been interested in him when he tried to introduce her to his world. But the episode just ends with a classic moment.

After “The Big Bang Theory” was “How I Met Your Mother” which was about Ted’s sister (former delinquent) coming to town and trying to prevent Barney from having sex with her. Also, Marshall takes Robin to his Vikings hangout but things get out of hand. Another entertaining episode and interesting Christmas songs from Barney.

At 9:00 p.m., it was time for “HEROES” (Season 3, episode 13 titled “Dual”). In this episode, before the series goes into hiatus for two months, Sylar holds Claire, her grandmother Angela, her father Noah and her biological mother Meredith captive. Sylar wants his revenge and people are going to die. Meanwhile at Primatech, the Petrelli brothers Peter and Nathan are now fighting on opposite sides. Nathan wants to use the serum to create an army of supermen while Nathan will do what it takes to stop him and destroy it. Meanwhile, Ando injects himself with the serum and gains a new power. The series is starting to turn very X-Men-ish. But that’s not a bad thing. Things are heating up and really enjoyed this episode. Nathan and Peter against each other…who would of thought that would happen.

I’ll have to rewatch this online as my DVR was set to record until 10:00 p.m., it appears this episode went longer than I expected. So, thank hulu.com!!!
